20110149075DEVICES AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA PACKETS OF A DATA STREAM AND USE OF SAID DEVICES - The invention relates to a device and to a method for processing data packets of a data stream, in which the received data packets are processed in real-time by a first unit and only data packets that are received error-free are processed by a second unit. Data packets that are faulty or not received are requested repeatedly and routed to the second unit upon error-free receipt. A data sink initially receives only the data packets processed by the first unit. Once the second unit and first unit are processing identical data packets nearly simultaneously, only the data packets processed by the second unit are routed to the data sink. The invention can be used advantageously in video coding, for example with a video-on-demand service or image analysis within the framework of a surveillance system.06-23-2011
20120041974METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AN RDF DATABASE FOR AN RDF DATABASE QUERY AND A SEARCH METHOD AND A SEARCH DEVICE FOR THE RDF DATABASE QUERY - Information values are created by nodes and directed edges describing dependencies between two nodes or information values, respectively, in the form of a directed graph for a database query. By using a path distance describing a number of directed edges between a selected node and a target tuple, formed of two nodes connected to a directed edge and a associated directed edge, a reduction of a complexity of a database query and thus an acceleration of the database query can be achieved. The search method can be used, for example, for monitoring systems or in medical databases. Furthermore, the search method can be used for databases which are dynamically extended, for example by new events in the monitoring system.02-16-2012

20090158436Method for Exporting Use Rights for Electronic Data Objects - There currently exists a plurality of digital rights management (DRM) systems on the market, each with its own rights expression language. As a result, when an electronic data object is exported from one DRM system to another DRM system, translation errors are generated, which can cause the irretrievable loss of individual rights granted by the copyright holder. To export rights to use electronic data objects and ensure interoperability between different DRM systems, the original rights to use that can be associated with the electronic data object are exported from data source to the data sink. In this way, the original license is advantageously kept when the rights to use are exported from one DRM system to another DRM system.06-18-2009

20080253290Optimization of Traffic Distribution in Multipath Routing - A method for optimization of traffic distribution in a communication network with multipath routing is provided. Distribution weightings are provided for a node of the communication network which has several alternatives or downward links for the routing to a target. The distribution weightings are modified relative to each other as a measure of the traffic loading on the downward links in order to reduce distributed traffic on highly loaded links and to increase distributed traffic on the less loaded links. An even traffic distribution on the communication network is thus achieved.10-16-2008
20090116488METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING TRAFFIC BY MEANS OF HASH CODES ACCORDING TO A NOMINAL TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION SCHEME IN A PACKET-ORIENTED NETWORK EMPLOYING MULTI-PATH ROUTING - Hash-code value ranges are determined for a traffic distribution among the nodes along a multipath route in a packet-oriented network, according to a predefined traffic distribution in the network. Starting from one or more start nodes, the traffic distribution is determined successively as a function of the hash-codes along the multipath route for each node, including branches, and an allocation of value ranges for the hash-codes to the outbound links is defined. The advantage is that it enables a desired distribution of traffic along any number of multipath routes by distribution on the basis of hash-codes.05-07-2009
20090141633METHOD FOR ADAPTING LINK WEIGHTS IN RELATION TO OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION - The invention relates to a method which is used to adapt link weights or, link costs, for optimized traffic distribution within a communication network. According to said method, a loop is circulated until an interruption criterion is met. The individual iterations comprise the following steps: Routing of traffic within the communication network is calculated based on link cost paths. Parameter values used for opt imization e.g. the link-related volume of traffic, are determined for the individual links by means of the calculated path, and an expected volume of traffic and the link are determined for the parameter having the highest value. When the highest determined value is equal to or less than the valve of the previous step (interruption criterion), the link costs are increased for the determined link. Said method enables link costs and paths for optimized traffic distribution to be determined in an economical manner.06-04-2009
20090154345METHOD AND NETWORK NODES FOR REPORTING AT LEAST ONE DROPPED-OUT CONNECTION PATH WITHIN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A network node in the communication network is a target network node, connected by a first communication path with at least one first and one second network node, connected to each other by means of a further communication path. A routing table is held in each network node. The direct communication path from the first network node to the target network node is entered in the routing table of the first network node as the primary routing path and the path leading from the first network node to the second network node and then to the target network node is entered as the reserve routing path. An analogous entry is made in the routing table of the second network node. The relevant reserve routing path is only used on disruption of the primary routing path. A disruption in the primary communication path, provided between the first network node and the target network node is reported by the first network node, by means of a message sent to the second network node. This controls the second network node such that, on a drop-out of the primary connection path thereof to the target network node, a transmission of data packets to the target network node by means of the reverse routing path, leading from the second network node to the target network node via the first network node, is prevented.06-18-2009
20090185491Shortest-path routing optimized for network utilization - A method for shortest path routing, optimized for network utilization is provided. The shortest or optimal paths for routing within the network are calculated from initial values for the link costs. The paths comprise possible path alternatives. The number of originally calculated paths is reduced to the set of unique paths (no path alternative), by changing the link costs as a measure of the loading of the individual links, which leads to an optimized loading of the links, in other words an optimized network utilization. The method provides a simple determination of paths for a single shortest path routing, optimized for network utilization.07-23-2009

20110235015ILLUMINATION OPTICS FOR EUV MICROLITHOGRAPHY - An illumination optics for EUV microlithography illuminates an object field with the aid of an EUV used radiation beam. Preset devices preset illumination parameters. An illumination correction device corrects the intensity distribution and/or the angular distribution of the object field illumination. The latter has an optical component to which the used radiation beam is at least partially applied upstream of the object field and which can be driven in a controlled manner. A detector acquires one of the illumination parameters. An evaluation device evaluates the detector data and converts the latter into control signals. At least one actuator displaces the optical component. During exposures, the actuators are controlled with the aid of the detector signals during the period of a projection exposure. A maximum displacement of below 8 μm is ensured for edges of the object field towards an object to be exposed. The result is an illumination optics that is used to ensure conformance with preset illumination parameters even given the most stringent demands upon precision.09-29-2011
