Abstract: Tracking and displaying of allocated messages in dynamic workload balancing systems in message driven transaction environments which involve distributing data processing transactions into messages and dynamically allocating each of the messages to different computer systems for performance, comprising enabling a user to request the performance of a data processing transaction, dynamically transforming via a server computer any requested transactions into messages free of user input and then allocating the messages to different computer systems. The system has user interactive displays for displaying the allocated messages and associated computer systems when required by the user so that he may track the messages.

Abstract: There is provided to developers and owners of Web documents, the ability to create Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) documents, which in addition to their basic set of natural language data conveying a first version of information of a particular content displayable to users at conventional Web desktop display stations, a second set of natural language data conveying a second version of condensed displayable information of the same particular content displayable to users of personal palm-type display computers connected to the Web. Also, in addition to the basic set of HTML tags which identify the basic set of natural language data, the document provides for a second set of tags identifying said second set of natural language data which is available only for the palm-type devices. The natural language data to be displayed may include both text and image data.

Abstract: An operating system provides an interface that allows the user to assign printers for use when a print job having one or more specific attributes has been submitted. The one or more specific attributes of a print job may include the identity of the application generating the print job, the file type being printed, one or more features of the print job, the presence or absence of color, the page size, the number of pages, the draft quality specified, the paper stock selected, and combinations thereof. The attributes of the print job are identified by the operating system after receiving the print job, and the print jobs are directed to the appropriate printer by looking up the identified attributes in user-customized printer assignments.

Abstract: A script evaluator analyzes script code and identifies possible problems with respect to given browsers and given browser versions. When configuring the parameters of analysis of the script evaluator, the user may select versions of known browsers for which support is desired. The script evaluator may point out functions in the script code that are not supported by certain versions of selected browsers. The evaluator may also suggest alternative functions that may be supported by all desired browser versions. Help information may be provided to assist the user. The script evaluator may receive browser support and help information from a library. The library may be collected from the browser software vendors or may be supplied with the script evaluator. The script evaluator may also include an editor or may be part of an existing developer tool.

Abstract: A reflector for EUV has additional multi-layers on the front surface of a base multilayer stack provided selectively to compensate for figure errors in the base multilayer stack or the substrate on which the multilayer stack is provided. A reflective mask for EUV uses two multilayer stacks, one introducing a relative phase shift and/or altered reflectivity with respect to the other one.

Abstract: An echo canceling system, method of attenuating echo, and a bit pump and transceiver employing the system and method. The echo canceling system is couplable between a transmit and receive path of the bit pump and receives and attenuates the echo in a receive signal propagating along the receive path. In one embodiment, the echo canceling system includes a slave echo canceling stage that employs a filter coefficient to attenuate the echo. The echo canceling system also includes a separation circuit, coupled to the slave echo canceling stage, that generates data representing a residual echo substantially exclusive of the receive signal. The echo canceling system still further includes a master echo canceling stage, coupled to the separation circuit, that receives the data and modifies the filter coefficient based thereon.

Abstract: A separation circuit, method of determining a residual level of an echo, and an echo canceling system, bit pump and transceiver employing the circuit and method. The echo canceling system employing the separation circuit is couplable between a transmit and receive path of the bit pump and generates an echo canceling signal. In one embodiment, the separation circuit includes a symbol determination circuit that accepts a receive signal, propagating along the receive path, substantially free of an echo and determines a symbol associated with the receive signal. The separation circuit also includes an estimator stage, coupled to the symbol determination circuit, that receives the symbol and provides an estimated receive signal. The separation circuit generates data representing a residual level of the echo as a function of the estimated receive signal and the echo canceling signal.

In one embodiment, the filter circuit includes a noise prediction equalizer that generates a noise prediction equalizer coefficient during activation of the bit pump to reduce an intersymbol interference associated with a receive signal propagating along a receive path of the bit pump. The filter circuit also includes a decision feedback equalizer that generates a decision feedback equalizer coefficient during the activation of the bit pump to reduce the intersymbol interference associated with the receive signal. The noise prediction equalizer is concatenated with the decision feedback equalizer during showtime of the bit pump to form a precoder associated with a transmit path of the bit pump.
