Abstract: A window glass antenna system for the reception of AM and FM radio broadcasts in an automobile includes an antenna grid applied to a window of a vehicle, that is electrically separate from a heater grid applied to the rear window. An antenna module connected to the vehicle window antenna grid is comprised of a low noise amplifier, matching, and overload protection circuits. The overload protection circuit is included between the antenna grid and the RF amplifier. When the received radio antenna signal is at the typical operating level of the amplifier, the overload protection circuit connects the output of the antenna grid to the RF amplifier. When the received signal is higher than the linear dynamic range of the amplifier the overload protection circuit provides linearity of the signal that is applied to the car radio. This process consists of two steps.

Abstract: A system an method for efficiently providing access by a large number of clients to objects located at a large number of information servers. A non-bottleneck solution is provided to sharing load among servers by migrating or replicating objects over from highly loaded servers to less highly loaded servers. Objects that experience low loading are deleted to make room for more highly used objects and to permit make space for new objects. A naming service is provided to provide rapid access to a replica of a requested objects, while avoiding directing access requests to servers from which replicas of requested objects have been deleted. Hierarchical ordering of replication and naming functions permits a variety of particular access methods to be realized.
