Abstract: An environment includes at least two network devices and a plurality of downstream devices or networks. The downstream devices or networks are communicatively coupled to network interfaces of the network devices using a plurality of data cables. The data cables each comprise a switch device configured to switch communication paths to the coupled network devices. Each of the data cables communicatively couple each of the network devices to one of the plurality of downstream devices or networks so that each of the downstream devices or networks has a communications path to each of the network devices and a switchable communications path from each of the network devices. The network devices do not arbitrate active/passive status via direct communication. Based on data contained in a reply packet indicating that a request packet sent by the first network device was acknowledged, the first network device determines that the first network device is an active network device.

Abstract: A CMOS-implementable TOF detector promptly collects charge whose creation time can be precisely known, while rejecting collection of potentially late arriving charge whose creation time may not be precisely known. Charges created in upper regions of the detector structure are ensured to be rapidly collected, while charges created in the lower regions of the detector structure, potentially late arriving charges, are inhibiting from being collected.

Abstract: A server for connection to a client via a network, the client being operable to transmit user-input to the server over the network and to receive user-output from the server over the network. The server comprises a network interface for connection to the network; and a processor coupled to the interface. The processor is operable to remotely host execution of an application for the client. The application is for receiving the user-input from the client over the network and for generating the user-output for transmission to the client over the network. The server implements a universal printer driver operable to generate a universal printer file from the application based on a request for a file to be printed that is embedded in the user-input. The server is further operable to transmit the universal printer file over the network. The universal printer file has a format amenable to interpretation by a universal print file reader into a printer file suitable for printing by a printing device.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus method and system of remote printing is provided. A server connected to a client via a network is operable to host execution of an application for a client, to receive the user-input from the client via the network, and to send user-output to the client via the network. The server receives a print request from the client, which is included in the user-input. The server then generates a universal printer file from the application, based on the print request, and transmits the universal printer file to an electronic mail system for delivery of the universal printer file to a destination specified by the client, for example as an attachment to an email message.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with providing a computer printer system which is particularly adapted for printing to a remote printer in a client-server environment. In the practice of the present invention, a universal printer driver is installed on the host server which creates a compressed, transmittable file that can be interpreted and printed by any printing device. This eliminates the need for a myriad of printer drivers being installed on the host server and increases speed and efficiency of print file processing by decreasing the need for bandwidth. The system results in faster, more convenient and more reliable printing to remote printers in a client-server arrangement.
