A power converter includes a DC to AC inverter that is connected to a neutral node formed between first and second capacitors connected across two DC supply lines. The inverter is operated to selectively couple the DC supply lines and the neutral node to an output terminal thereby producing an alternating voltage waveform formed by a sequence of output pulses having positive, zero and negative voltage levels. To compensate for a voltage imbalance across the capacitors, an imbalance compensation coefficient is derived from the difference in voltages across the first and second capacitors and from the direction of current between the neutral node and the inverter. The imbalance compensation coefficient is employed to adjust the width of the output pulses so as to charge and discharge the capacitors to correct the imbalance.

A multiple key, multiple tiered network security system, method and apparatus provides at least three levels of security. The first level of security includes physical (MAC) address authentication of a user device being attached to the network, such as a user device being attached to a port of a network access device. The second level includes authentication of the user of the user device, such as user authentication in accordance with the IEEE 802.1x standard. The third level includes dynamic assignment of a user policy to the port based on the identity of the user, wherein the user policy is used to selectively control access to the port. The user policy may identify or include an access control list (ACL) or MAC address filter. Also, the user policy is not dynamically assigned if insufficient system resources are available to do so. Failure to pass a lower security level results in a denial of access to subsequent levels of authentication.

The transmission of ATM, Internet, and satellite communications is unified through international standardized protocol embedment. Global and Local performance optimization are achieved through the combination of combinatorial, dynamic, and probabilistic programming. A simultaneous domino effect of bandwidth conservation, efficiency enhancement, reliability improvement, traffic congestion prevention, delay minimization, and speed multiplication are realized for any digital communication system, particular in Internet. With three levels of error coding in ATM cells, the loss cell recovery and bit integrity are preserved. From its mathematical roots, new combinatorial sets are systematically generated, and applications of the sets are identified. Among the applications, optimal sequences can be produced for multi-user and multi-function communication system designs. Optimality is in terms of maximum possible number of sequences with given sequence length and sequence characteristics. The results are unique and theoretically proven. By serial and parallel concatenation of error codecs, reliability of multimedia transmission can be satisfied to any desirable level. As a part of the unified transmission scheme, the acquisition and synchronization method of cascading sequences exhibits significant improvement in correlation properties and detection probabilities. A method of using block designs is demonstrated to derive, to generate, and to construct low-density parity check block codes and threshold decodable convolutional codes. An efficiency evaluation method is formulated for the combination operation of ATM, Internet, and satellites.

A GUI (Graphical User Interface) Manager is used by a network administrator to fill-in predefined templates. The administrator does not need to compile, debug or write a single line of scripting code. The GUI manager has a “select the box” and “point and click” and “fill-in the blank” approach for selecting computer settings. The predefined configuration and / or template(s) are used by a logon script program on a client system to manage the configuration of resources on at least one client. There are three levels of resources that can be managed. The first type of resource is an operating system. The second type of resource is an application resource. And the third type of resource is to redirect a resource on the client to a resource on a network such as a drive letter mapping. Resources include configurations from the group of configuration settings consisting of drive mappings, shell folders, printer deployment, proxy server access, application paths, service packs, anti-virus updates, policies and automatic mail profile creation.

A processor natively executes lookup instructions. The lookup instruction is decoded to determine which general-purpose register (GPR) contains a pointer to a lookup key in a buffer. A variable-length key is read from the buffer and hashed to generate an index into a first-level cache and a hashed tag. An address of a bucket of entries for the index is generated and tags from these entries are read and compared to the hashed tag. When an entry matches the hashed tag, a second-level entry is read. A stored key from the second-level entry is compared to the input key to determine a match. The addresses of the matching second-level and first-level entries are written to GPR's specified by operands decoded from the lookup instruction. When the key or entry data is long, the second-level entry also contains a pointer to a key extension or data extension in a third-level cache.

A synchronized control method for a three-phase three-level boost-type rectifier with reduced input current ripple and balanced output voltages is disclosed. The proposed control allows simplifying the control circuit as much as possible without compromising the rectifier performance. In fact, besides simplicity, the control method featured synchronized command signals to de switching devices, minimized input current ripple, full controllability of the output voltage, dynamic balance of the output center point, constant switching frequency, simplified design of EMC filters, good transient and steady state performance, and low cost. The invention described first the most important configurations that the three-phase three-level boost-type rectifier may assume and studied the converter's operation. The concept involved for output voltage, input current, neutral point balance and control system design was presented.

A memory uses multiple threshold levels in a memory cell that are not a power of two, and further uses a cell mapping technique wherein the read mapping is only a partial function The domain of read states for a single three-level memory cell, for example, has three states, but only two of them can be uniquely mapped to a bit. The domain of read states for two three-level memory cell, for example, has nine states, but only eight of them can be uniquely mapped to three bits. Although the read mapping is only partial, the voltage margin for the three-level memory cells is larger that the voltage margin available in the commonly used four-level memory cells. This increased voltage margin facilitates memory cell threshold voltage sensing, thereby increasing the reliability of the memory. Memory reliability may be further improved by increasing the voltage margin between the memory cell 0 state and the 1 state relative to the voltage margin between the 1 state and the 2 state, which more effectively accommodates charge loss from the 0 state through electron leakage. Asymmetrical read and program mapping may also be used to improve read reliability in the presence of ground noise or VCC noise.

A pseudo-emitter-coupled-logic (PECL) receiver has a wide common-mode range. Two current-mirror CMOS differential amplifiers are used. One amplifier has n-channel differential transistors and a p-channel current mirror, while the second amplifier has p-channel differential transistors and an n-channel current mirror. When the input voltages approach power or ground, one type of differential transistor continues to operate even when the other type shuts off. The outputs of the two amplifiers are connected together and each amplifier receives the same differential input signals. The tail-current transistor is self-biased using the current-mirror's gate-bias. This self biasing of each amplifier eliminates the need for an additional voltage reference and allows each amplifier to adjust its biasing over a wide input-voltage range. Thus the common-mode input range is extended using self biasing and complementary amplifiers. The complementary self-biased comparators can be used for receiving binary or multi-level-transition (MLT) inputs by selecting different voltage references for threshold comparison. Using the same reference on both differential inputs eliminates a second reference for multi-level inputs having three levels. Thus binary and MLT inputs can be detected and decoded by the same decoder.

A system for automatic personal editing of television programs based on viewer's information privately stored in viewer's computerized television receivers. The system, when activated, protects viewers, first of all children, filtering out everything that is unacceptable or useless. The filtering is carried out on three levels: blocking television programs, blocking some parts of the programs and replacing some parts by alternative video fragments. In particular, the system replaces a television commercial meaningless for a viewer by a commercial that may be of certain interest to the viewer. Another application is an improvement in management of controversial matter such as sex and violence. Depending on viewer's preferences the system replaces a certain scene by a commercial or restores such a scene if it has been replaced by a commercial in a program edited for broadcast television. The replacement technique uses basic channels for transmission of primary versions of television programs and auxiliary channels for transmission of alternative video fragments intended for replacement of some parts of the primary versions. A computerized receiver makes a decision on a replacement comparing viewer's information with information on the primary and alternative parts.

A data structure for specifying the types of constants whose character values are to be converted to Unicode; for specifying which code page or pages are used for specifying the character encodings used in the source program for writing the character strings to be converted to Unicode; and that can be used to perform conversions from SBCS, mixed SBCS / DBCS, and pure DBCS character strings to Unicode. A syntax suitable for specifying character data conversion from SBCS, mixed SBCS / DBCS, and pure DBCS representation to Unicode utilizes an extension to the conventional constant subtype notation. In converting the nominal value data to Unicode, currently relevant SBCS and DBCS code pages are used, as specified by three levels or scopes derived from either global options, from local AOPTIONS statement specifications, or from constant-specific modifiers. Global code page specifications apply to the entire source program. These global specifications allow a programmer to declare the source-program code page or code pages just once. These specifications then apply to all constants containing a request for conversion to Unicode. Local code page specifications apply to all subsequent source-program statements. These local specifications allow the programmer to create groups of statements containing Unicode conversion requests, all of which use the same code page or code pages for their source-character encodings. Code page specifications that apply to individual constants allow a detailed level of control over the source data encodings to be used for Unicode conversion. The conversion of source data to Unicode may be implemented inherently to the translator (assembler, compiler, or interpreter) wherein it recognizes and parses the complete syntax of the statement in which the constant or constants is specified, and performs the requested conversion. Alternatively, an external function may be invoked by a variety of source language syntaxes which parses as little or as much of the source statement as its implementation provides, and returns the converted value for inclusion in the generated machine language of the object program. Alternatively, the conversion may be provided by the translator's macro instruction definition facility.
