Abstract: A system and method manages Quality-of-Service (QoS) in a network by allocating resources, such as available network bandwidth. The network devices transmit and receive data traffic streams, each of which includes QoS parameters, including a priority level and bandwidth allocation. The method includes choosing which existing QoS allocations are pre-empted, notifying original requesters of pre-empted allocations, and re-establishing pre-empted allocations with appropriate modifications. If a new QoS request cannot be accommodated due to the previous allocations to lower-priority requesters, the existing lower-priority allocations are released until enough allocations are released to accommodate the new request. Once the new request is allocated, the pre-empted configurations may be reallocated.

In an active matrix display device including pixels of three colors having a stripe arrangement or a delta arrangement, n (n denotes a multiple of 3 that is 6 or larger) adjacent data lines DLs form one group and are connected to a source signal output line SO. The ON/OFF of a selection switch ASW provided for each data line DL is controlled so that, among the n data lines forming one group, data lines corresponding to pixels of a color with a contribution to brightness smaller than a contribution of at least another color among the three colors, e.g., blue of RGB, are connected first and last with the source signal output line SO during one horizontal period.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting read data comprises a document reader 101, a data compression unit 102, a data transmission means and a CPU 104. The document reader 101 reads in a document having been subjected to predetermined data processing. The data compression unit 102 performs compression of the read data with a designated file format. The CPU 104 checks the limitation on transmission capacity set in advance for each data transmission means. When the volume of data compressed for transmission falls within the limited range of transmission capacity set for the data transmission means, the read data is transmitted to a destination designated by the user via the data transmission means designated by the user.

Abstract: In a display device of the invention, driving of the piezoelectric element is controlled to change the light path of the propagating light inside a light guiding plate. By illuminating a liquid crystal panel in this manner, an illumination time and a no illumination time can be provided for the liquid crystal panel within one frame period. This realizes impulse-type-like display in displaying moving images on the liquid crystal panel, and thereby improves an image quality of moving images. Further, since the light is used only in desired regions, spontaneous luminance can be improved and the light can be used more efficiently.

Abstract: In a submount main body (1) composed of a single crystal silicon, a mounting surface (4) on which a light-emitting device (11) is mounted is composed of a (100)-oriented surface and the inner surface of a through hole (3) which is formed by anisotropic etching is parallel to the (110)-oriented surface. The light-emitting portion of the light-emitting device (11) is arranged to face a device-side opening (31) which opens into the mounting surface (4) of the submount main body (1). Consequently, heat generated in the light-emitting device (11) can be discharged to the outside more efficiently than the case where the light-emitting portion is arranged to face a side opposite to the submount side. Specifically, light from the light-emitting device (11) is reflected by a reflective surface formed on the surface of the through hole (3), and highly efficiently transmitted outside of the submount main body (1).
