An operation program preparation device capable of reducing labor and cost for preparation of a robot operation program. Work operations of a robot includes work operations that are common to individual workpieces or operation objects and independent of workpiece type, and work operations that vary depending on workpiece. Operation-program definition data are set and stored, which includes a first program part requiring workpiece-dependent alteration and a second program part not depending on workpiece type. Workpiece-type related data representing workpiece position/orientation information is input and stored. In accordance with the first program part not having been subject to the workpiece-dependent alteration and the workpiece-type related data, the first program part is subject to alteration to complete the first program part, whereby the entire operation program is completed. As for a new workpiece, the operation program can be prepared only by inputting workpiece-type related data, making it possible to easily prepare the operation program adapted to various types of workpiece.

A network includes multiple segments and bridges interconnecting the segments, with hosts coupled to the segments.

A method and system for optimizing SOAP messages combines mechanisms of accelerating the composition of SOAP messages, reducing SOAP parsing overheads, and reducing SOAP message sizes by leveraging elements of the previous two techniques and policies for configuring these mechanisms. A byte-level partial representation of a SOAP message may be constructed upon its first use and each new instantiation of the same message is composed from this representation and the encoded parameters or return values. SOAP message parsing may be accelerated using a cache of associations. Each entry may associate the byte-level encoding of an XML tag with its component in the internal data representation of the received message. These two techniques can be used independently on one or both SOAP endpoints.

Systems (600) and methods (500) for Pulse Rotation Modulation. The methods involve: generating First Segments (“FSs”) of a Numerical Sequence (“NS”) based on a First Data Symbol Sequence (“FDSS”); and encoding FDSS within NS. The encoding is achieved by: (a) shifting positions of numbers contained in each FS “X” positions to the right or left; and (b) moving a last “X” numbers of the FSs to a beginning of a respective segment thereof or moving a first “X” numbers of the FSs to an end of the respective segment. X” is defined as an integer value represented by a respective portion of FDSS. Thereafter, the NS having FDSS encoded therein can be used to spread a Second Data Signal (“SDS”) over a wide intermediate frequency band. SDS has second data symbols, that are different then FDSS, phase and/or amplitude encoded therein.

Items in a hierarchy may be displayed in an outline view, where each item at a hierarchy level is presented in a separate line, or as condensed hierarchy lines. A condensed hierarchy line displays two or more related items in a single line. Condensed hierarchy lines present the context of items in a hierarchy in reduced display area as compared with outline views. Users may add or remove items from condensed hierarchy lines using any type of input. Each portion of a condensed hierarchy line represents a different item at a different level of the hierarchy. Items in the condensed hierarchy line may include active user interface elements. Users or applications may define multiple condensed hierarchy lines as needed from arbitrary groups of items in adjacent hierarchy levels. Multiple condensed hierarchy lines can be used to show context for sibling relationships between items.

Interpolation of signed values A and B is efficiently performed by simple circuitry. To calculate an interpolated value C based on a 4-bit values A (bits a₃a₂a₁a₀) and B (bits b₃b₂b₁b₀) expressing a negative number by twos complement notation and a 4-bit interpolation rate D (bits d₃d₂d₁d₀) consisting of only a decimal part, a basic expression of C=(1−D)*A+D*B is transformed into an expression composed of an unsigned part that includes a sum of products with a bit d_i or a logically inverted value e_i of the bit d_i (i=0, 1, 2, and 3), and indicates an absolute value of the interpolated value C, and a signed part indicating a sign of the interpolated value C. Then, 7 bits of bits c₆ through c₀ are generated from an arithmetic operation of the unsigned part, and logic judgement of the signed part is performed by considering a carry from the digit of the bit c₆ of the arithmetic operation of the unsigned part to generate a bit c₇. Significant digits of the obtained 8-bit value (bits c₇ through c₀) are outputted as an interpolated value.
