When complete, the network D(p,k,a) comprises N operators each connected to p other operators of the network, p being an even integer. The N operators are located on h generatrices each comprising (P/2).sup.k operators, h and k being any two numbers and h being equal to k+a. An operator of coordinates (i,j), i being the generatrix (1.ltoreq.i.ltoreq.h) on which the operator is located and j being the operator order number (1.ltoreq.j.ltoreq.(P/2).sup.k), is connected directly to P/2 operators Ax...

A bridge for interconnecting data networks includes an adapter connected to each network and a central programmed processor. Each adapter includes a receive and a transmit FIFO storage which is less than the packets being transferred from one network to the other. The control program generates Receive Buffer Descriptors which include buffer pointers, buffer length fields and pointers to next descriptors. These Descriptors are used by the adapters to buffer received packets which are directed to ...

This disclosure relates to a terminal unit for processing voice information which is adopted in a network system for transmitting and receiving voice information. This disclosure also pertains to a group of such terminal units. In a case where a voice converter is not provided in the terminal unit or when the use of the voice converter is suppressed, the terminal unit converts received voice information into a medium other than voice, for example, into characters, and thereby conveys it to a rec...

The switching network (SN) includes a plurality of intercoupled switching units (SU) and a communication path (VP) established by a path set up cell (PSUC). In the switching units (SU) the communication path is routed through the cell marked with a first tag (ID) included in the path set up cell (PSUC), thereby providing the possibility for a second communication path to be set up later by a second path set up cell including a second tag (ID, DISL1) with the same value as the first tag (ID), in ...

Disclosed is a system that monitors a local area network by receiving all messages transmitted over the local area network, and analyzing selected sequences of messages to determine if certain, architecturally defined, processes are properly completed. If a network station starts one of these processes, and the process does not complete normally, the system analyzes the messages involved in the process to determine the network stations that participated in the process, and the phase or phases of...

A coupling network for coupling a signal at a frequency from a voltage source to a load. The voltage source has a source resistance. The load has a load resistance and a load reactance. The ratio of the load reactance to the load resistance greater than 100. The coupling network includes a reactive element and a delay circuit. The reactive element is arranged in series with the load to resonate with the load reactance at the frequency. The delay circuit is between the reactive element and the so...

A network interface, in particular for motor vehicles having at least two computers and having at least two bus lines ("0") includes by a monitoring circuit (100), which cooperates with an evaluation circuit to detect the operativeness of the bus lines and identify a faulty bus line and an emergency circuit (210,215) controlled by the monitoring circuit to connect the faulty bus line to an emergency potential. Even in the event of a short circuit, to the supply voltage U.sub.B or earth, of one o...

To enable the pattern matching between a shifted input pattern and the standard pattern, a plurality of standard patterns are stored in a standard pattern associative memory network 12. A pattern shifted relative to the standard pattern is inputted to the input pattern network 11 and a restriction condition of when the input pattern is shifted relative to the standard pattern is stored in a coordinate associated network 14. In an association network 13, weights and biases are determined so that ...

The telecommunication network is composed to a greater degree of ATM exchanges (ATM) and to a lesser degree of STM exchanges (STM). Information coming from an STM exchange (for example, STM1) and to be communicated to a further STM exchange (for example, STMy) via an ATM exchange (for example, ATM1) is packeted in message cells of the same length as those message cells used for the transmission between ATM exchanges in order to reduce the packeting time for the through-connection across the ATM ...

An interconnection element for use in an user-configurable interconnection technology includes a normally shorted fuse element and a normally open antifuse element connected in series. The antifuse element is designed to program at a first current at a selected programming voltage. The fuse element is designed to program at a second current which exceeds the first current by a margin sufficient to prevent inadvertent programming of fuse elements during the antifuse element programming cycle. An ...
