Abstract: A network information delivery system automatically determines end-user information output requirements based on predetermined data corresponding to each requesting end-user terminal. A user profile is maintained in a database either associated with a network information delivery system or with the end-user terminal and is accessed by the network information delivery device. If the network information delivery device has authority to access the end-user terminal, a program may be downloaded to the end-user terminal to determine the exact end-user terminal configuration. The program executing in the end-user terminal returns to the network information delivery device a user profile containing the end-user terminal capabilities so that the requested information may be formatted and delivered to the end-user in an optimal manner. The information to be delivered to end-users may be pre-stored in predetermined formats.

Abstract: A customized advertising repository server is connected on the World Wide Web (WWW), which can be accessed by a registered user through his or her browser either by clicking on an icon, or by inputting the specific URL address of the particular server which stores that user's advertising repository. When the user accesses his or her customized ad repository through the browser, a composite advertising page is dynamically configured by the Customized Advertising Repository (CAR) server for that particular user based on that user's previously provided user profile. Furthermore, at least a portion of that composite advertising page can be dynamically configured on a context dependent basis determined from the particular Web site or sites that the user has accessed prior to accessing the CAR.

Abstract: A user connected to the Internet (102), over his or her telephone line (105), through an Internet Access Provider (IAP) (104) can place the Internet connection on hold to take an incoming telephone call from a calling party at a telephone set (110). The user is informed of the waiting call by means of a signal send by the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) (103) to the IAP that indicates the presence of the waiting call and the identity of the calling party. This information is then transmitted by the IAP to the user's terminal (101). Upon an affirmative decision to take the call, indicated to the IAP by means of a "click" on the screen of the user's terminal, the call to the IAP is placed on hold and the incoming call is connected to the user's telephone set (111).

Abstract: Interchip and intrachip electrical discharge suppression connections or networks are disclosed for three-dimensional multichip semiconductor structures. The interchip suppression networks electrically intercouple the power planes of the semiconductor device chips in the structure. This, in combination with conventional intrachip suppression networks present on the external connects or input/output pins of the individual chips in the structure, provides complete power plane-to-power plane, external connect-to-power plane and external connect-to-external connect protection against electrical discharge events, such as an electrostatic discharge occurring during handling and testing of the structure. The interchip electrical discharge suppression networks can be placed on an end layer or end semiconductor chip of the three-dimensional multichip semiconductor structure and connect to individual chips in the structure via an edge surface metallization.

Abstract: The digital FM receiver back end receives an analog intermediate frequency signal from a radio frequency front end (310) having a heterodyne circuit (312) and an intermediate frequency filter (314). In the receiver back end (307), a digital demodulator (330) having a hard limiter (333), a direct phase digitizer (336), and a phase differential circuit (339) produces a digital phase differential signal from the analog intermediate frequency signal. Next, a digital processor (360) filters and reduces noise in the digital phase differential signal using a bandpass filter (362), a de-emphasis filter (364), and an expandor (366). Finally, a pulse-width-modulation audio amplifier (380) prepares the signal for reproduction on an audio speaker (390). The digital FM receiver back end avoids inherent DC offset problems common to analog FM receivers, and it also offers a reduced complexity, size, and power consumption alternative to conventional digital FM receivers.

The System component supports a set of services defined by the device driver and which can be used by the Network and Adapter components. The Network component manages all interactions of the Adapter component with a network operating system or protocol stack and ensures its applicability and correctness in the context of the device driver operation. The Adapter component provides the functions for operating and managing all interactions with the adapter hardware.

Abstract: A LAN of the ethernet type employs CSMA/CD protocol for channel access by a plurality of network nodes. Each node includes a data processing system having a device driver and an adapter and transmits data packets to the LAN in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard. The adapter coupled is at one side to the network in either a half or full-duplex mode. The other side of the adapter is bound to the device driver which is dynamically tuned for reduced latency and increased network throughput, regardless of the transmitting mode of the node and the capture effect of the ethernet. Each device driver operates in a transmit chaining mode when the network is in a lightly loaded half-duplex, or full-duplex mode. The driver includes device for monitoring data packet collisions on a channel of the network. A "collision rate" or the percentage of data packets which were transmitted on the channel with collisions in a pre-selected time interval is calculated by the device driver.

Abstract: A multiport repeater for a local area network installation has (in addition to its conventional functions) storing access rules for the items of equipment connected to it. It reads a portion of each frame, which may be all or part of the destination address segment and/or of the source address segment and/or of the control segment of each incoming data frame, or it could be a frame or protocol identifier incorporated in opening bytes of the data segment. It compares the data that it reads with the stored access rules to determine whether the frame is permitted or not. If not, it corrupts the frame which it is in the course of re-transmitting, for example by overwriting it with meaningless digits. It may also report the source address, destination address and reason for deciding to corrupt the frame to the network controller.
