Abstract: A transmission system including a shift mechanism for operating and controlling the transmission system. To automatically detect geometric characteristic values of the transmission system or of the shifting device a selector motor and a shift motor actuate a selector finger that is displaceably mounted in a selection-shift-passageway layout. Starting from an initial position whose coordinates within the selection-shift-passageway layout are unknown, the selector finger is displaced in the directions of shifting and in the directions of selection in order to detect paths of movement in the direction of selection or shifting. The selector finger is repeatedly displaced to establish the maximum paths of movement until the predetermined transmission geometric characteristic values are completely detected. Also disclosed are a control device for controlling a transmission system that includes a shift mechanism, and a method for controlling such a transmission system.

Abstract: In a motor vehicle transmission, gears representing different transmission ratios are engaged by applying a force to an actuator output element that couples a selected gear to a rotary shaft. A synchronizing device blocks the coupling of the gear to the shaft until at least an approximate synchronization of rpm-rates has been achieved. A synchronization threshold position corresponding to the blocked condition of the actuator element is stored in a memory of a controller device. The controller device periodically performs an automatic adaptation of the stored value for the synchronization threshold position.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to digital network communication, and in particular to a method and system for processing data according to the InfiniBand™ (IB) Protocol with reduced latency and chip costs in an InfiniBand™ type computer system. ID information in a packet header is obtained before the body of the packet has completely arrived at a receiving Channel adapter. The ID information is used to obtain work Queue Pair Context (QPC) and when needed an associated Work Queue Element (WQE), for operating on the data content of the packet being received.

Abstract: An InfiniBand™ Channel Adapter encrypts or decrypts user data on-the-fly. The user data is read from system memory and encrypted in by the Channel Adapter before sending it to a network. Similarly received data is decrypted on the fly before storing it in system memory. The encryption/decryption keys are preferably stored in a Queue Pair Context storage area of system memory as Public key for sending data and Private key for receiving data.

Abstract: A method and system which provide a personalized indicator datum on at least one terminal when establishing a telecommunication or when setting up a call between at least two terminals. In a first database, able to be accessed by an intelligent network of the network of the first terminal, an identification datum assigned to a first terminal is assigned the identification datum of at least one second terminal. And, as a function of the assignment, at least one indicator datum is stored in the first or a further database able to be accessed by the intelligent network of the TCN of the first terminal. When a call set-up is initiated between at least two terminals, in response to the identification datum of the first terminal, the intelligent network of the TCN of the first terminal compares the identification datum of the at least one further terminal with the identification datum of the at least one second terminal.

Abstract: A multiport array comprises a read section which is separated from an array of memory cells and which forms a plurality of data-out ports each consisting of a predetermined number of output lines. The read section comprises a multiplex network containing a plurality of multiplex arrays each associated with one of the data-out ports (0,1, . . . ,15). The multiplex arrays are connected to the data read lines of the memory cells and are selected by read addresses. The multiplex arrays comprise transmission elements which connect selected ones of the data read lines to the associated data-out port.

Abstract: A method of keeping track of the current operating position of an actuator in an automated gear-shift transmission has the following steps: monitoring the level of energy supplied by an energy source to the actuator; comparing the energy level to a minimum energy level required by the actuator; and if the energy level is lower than the required minimum, saving the current actuator position in memory for retrieval at a later time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to storage devices and in particular, it relates to a method for testing the storage quality of history dependent memory array cells. A cell can be stressed selectively with predetermined test conditions such that these test conditions cover all of the hardware status distribution which might arise when the cell is operated under the full range of operating conditions. This is basically achieved by cutting off a predetermined cutoff width of the trailing edge of the active wordline select pulse.
