摘要:
Methods and devices are disclosed for testing an acoustic probe having transducing elements for converting between acoustic and electrical signals. An electrical signal is generated at a frequency with a testing device capable of generating electrical signals over a range of frequencies. The electrical signal is transmitted to at least some of the transducing elements to measure a complex impedance and thereby evaluate a performance of the transducing elements.

摘要:
A packet transmission system comprising a network of one or more nodes (1) each comprising a number of inputs connected via packet switching means to a number of outputs each of which has storage means (11) associated with it in which to store a queue of packets to be outputted; characterized in that each node (1) is provided with timer means (14) to measure the time each packet spends in a queue of said storage means (11); and stamping means (12) to add to a time stamp field (TS) of each packet before it is outputted from the node, the time the packet has spent in a queue as measured by the timer means (14).
摘要:
A system in which core information, for example in the form of a core block or blocks (C), is transmitted in a core packet (PC), and at least some enhancement information, for example, in the form of enhancement blocks (E), is transmitted in an enhancement packet (PE) which is separate from the core packet (PC) and is discardable to relieve congestion. Preferably, the core and enhancement packets have headers (H) which include a discard eligible marker (DE) to indicate whether or not the associated packet can be discarded. The enhancement blocks (E) may be distributed between the core packet and enhancement packet in accordance with congestion conditions, or the enhancement blocks may be incorporated only in the enhancement packet, and the actual number of enhancement blocks included are varied depending on congestion conditions. Preferably, the packets are transmitted in frame relay format and congestion forward (CF) and congestion backwards (CB) markers are used to feed back information of congestion conditions within a network to the packet assembler (7) forming the core and enhancement packets.
