Abstract:
A system for sending a data packet from a first communication network (255) to a second communication network (270) is disclosed in which the second communication network (270) is directly unreachable by the first communication network (255). The system comprises a transmitting device for transmitting the data packet to the first communication network; a receiving device for accepting the data packet from the second communication network and generating a data packet response; and a relay (260) for acceptance of the data packet from the first communication network (255), passing the data package to the second communication network (270) and for acceptance of the generated data package response and passing the generated data packet response to the first communication network (255). Furthermore a Method for sending the data packet from the first communication network (255) into the second communication network (270) is taught which has the following steps: the data packet from the first communication network (255) is passed into the second communication network (270), a response signal is awaited; and the response signal is forwarded back into the first communication network (255).
Abstract:
The present disclosure teaches a method and a system (10; 510; 710) for relaying telecommunication signals (S1, 52), wherein the telecommunication signals (S1, S2) have a plurality of carriers (401, 402). The system (10; 510; 710) comprises a central hub (20; 520; 720) connectable to one or more base stations (5, 6; 505, 506); a plurality of remote units (80-1,.., 80-N; 580-1,...,580-7; 780-1,...,780-9) for relaying at least one of the plurality of carriers (401, 402) in the telecommunication signals (S1, S2) supplied by the central hub (20; 520; 720). Power of the plurality of remote units (80-1,.., 80-N; 580-1,...,580-7; 780-1,...,780-9) is adjustable such that first ones of the plurality of remote units (80-1,.., 80-N; 580-1,...,580-7; 780-1,...,780-9) can be switched off and second ones of the plurality remote units (80-1,.., 80-N; 580-1,...,580-7; 780-1,...,780-9) can have adjusted power levels to compensate for the switch off of the first ones of the plurality of remote units (80-1,.., 80-N; 580-1,...,580-7; 780-1,..., 780-9).

Abstract:
A base band to frequency up-converter (1) is described wherein the base band to frequency up-converter (1) comprises a first input (201) for receiving a first base band signal of first base band samples and a second input (202) for receiving a second base band signal of second base band samples and an output (TX) for providing up-converted radio signal samples. The base-band to radio frequency up-converter (1) further comprises a phase converter (2) for converting the first base band signal of first base band samples and the second base band signal of second base band samples into a first intermediate signal (X n ) of first intermediate samples, a second intermediate signal (Y n ) of second intermediate samples, and a third intermediate signal (Z n ) of third intermediate samples. The intermediate samples are then up-converted into radio signal samples.
Abstract:
The present disclosure teaches a microscope having an illumination light path for illuminating a sample or object and a viewing light path for viewing the sample. The microscope comprises an illumination light path focussing arrangement in the illumination light path, the illumination light path focussing arrangement defining a substantially two- dimensional sample or object illumination region extending along an illumination direction of the illumination light path and transversely thereto. The microscope further comprises an illumination region-confining device in the illumination light path for selectively illuminating a portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region, wherein the portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region is confined at least in the illumination direction and/or in the direction transversely thereto.
Abstract:
What is proposed is a method for monitoring and controlled distribution of fertilizers/pesticides in agricultural soils, comprising the steps of definition of the area of soils to be monitored, definition of number of sensors needed to monitor the soils, definition of spots in which to place sensors in the soils, definition of depths in which to place the sensors in the soils, placement of sensors at defined spots and depths in the soils, readout of the sensors at defined times, calculation of amounts of fertilizers/pesticides needed, based on the sensor readouts, and distribution of calculated amounts of fertilizers/pesticides on the soils.

The invention relates to a content distribution network for the distribution of a digital object in a peer-to-peer network with a plurality of peers having a peer location identifier and a download client (103a) for downloading the digital object. A plurality of distributed caches (312a, 312b) is present in the peer-to-peer network. At least some of the plurality of peers (102a, 102b, 102c) are connected to at least some of the plurality of distributed caches (312). A publisher's computer network (403) is connected to at least one of the plurality of distributed caches (312) for distributing the digital object to at least one of the plurality of distributed caches (312). A private tracker for managing the distribution of the digital object among the plurality of distributed caches (312a, 312b) and a public tracker for managing the distribution of the digital object between the plurality of peers (102a, 102b, 102c) are present. The invention also includes a method for the distribution of a digital object over a peer-to- peer network to at least one of a plurality of peers (102). The method comprises a first step of placing at least a first piece of the digital object on a content supplier (402,- 312), a second step of transferring at least the first piece of the digital object to a least one of a plurality of distributed caches (312), a third. step of announcing the availability of the digital object to at least one of the plurality of peers (102) and a fourth step of downloading at least the first piece of the digital object to the at least one of the plurality of peers (102).
