Introduction [0052] A large fraction of the applications and services that are of interest to Internet users involve access to, and transmission of, sensitive information (e.g., e-commerce, access to corporate data, virtual private networks, online banking and trading, multimedia conferencing, etc.), making security a serious concern <1, 2>. The deployment of high-speed wireless data and multi-media communications ushers in even greater security challenges. Wireless communication relies on the use of a public transmission medium, making the physical signal easily accessible to malicious entities. Surveys of current and potential users of mobile commerce (m-commerce) services have indicated security concerns as the single largest bottleneck to their adoption <3>. [0053] Several security mechanisms have been developed for wired and wireless networks, based on providing security

2.0 out of 5 stars Dusty, 8 Feb 2012
The classic romantic setup of boy meets girl is given a twist where a professor's daughter falls for a mummy. The mummy is Imhotep IV who imagines his long-dead wife in the visage of the woman, not such a laughable storyline as you'd think given that it preceded the Stephen Sommers "Mummy" movies by a couple of years, and that film had the exact same premise.The artwork is so-so, the story kind of tired as the silliness of a mummy doesn't really go anywhere. Imhotep's dad is quite funny and I did laugh once when he threw Queen Victoria in the Thames. But it's a brief comic book that doesn't really go anywhere or say anything much interesting. The story is a bit dull, the characters barely there, and while both Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Guibert would go on to write much better books, their first collaboration, "The Professor's Daughter", is a weak and forgettable book.
4.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned love story... sort of, 14 Dec 2007
First, Joann Sfar tackled the subject of a dorky bloodsucker's "Vampire Loves," and now it's the love life of a lonely mummy.Yeah, it's a weird story, and it gets progressively wackier, cleverer and more feverish as it goes on. But Sfar and Emmanuel Gilbert crafted a sweetly offbeat love story, between a young Victorian lady, and her father's three-thousand-year-old mummy, Imhotep IV.When the professor is away, Lillian Browell and the mummy Imhotep IV like to tour London together. But one of their walks goes horribly wrong -- Imhotep gets dead drunk and trashes a cafe, and Lillian learns that he's about to be sent to the museum. When the cops arrive to arrest him, she accidentally poisons them. And when her father arrives, Imhotep sweeps her out of the house and elopes to Egypt.Except they never get further than the docks: Lillian is kidnapped by a pirate mummy, and Imhotep is forced to hide in a kindly man's house. Their love is tested like never before when they are both jailed, and both their fathers -- the professor and the pirate mummy -- are determined to save them. Too bad they're no good at it."The Professor's Daughter" is kind of like watching a charming, quaint little screwball comedy. A very romantic one, I might add -- the romance between Lillian and Imhotep IV is one of those sweet, comfortable ones where you just want them to live happily ever after.But in the meantime, Sfar keeps the quirky, poignant story rolling -- accidental poisoning, the arrest of hundreds of mummies, and Imhotep III proposing marriage to Queen Victoria (and subsequently chucking her in the river). Even the dialogue has that quirkiness: "The last time I meddled in his affairs was three thousand years ago, and he's STILL furious at me."In fact, the second half of the story is basically a madcap caper through London, which ends in a most unexpected (and slightly gruesome) manner. Yet Sfar never loses touch with the poignant side of things, having Imhotep IV conversing with his long-dead children and mourning his lost wife (whom Lillian resembles).That charm is only helped along by Emmanuel Gilbert's artwork, which is somewhere between contemporary graphic art and Victorian pen-and-ink drawings. Lots of firelight, stormy seas and stone jails, with lots of pale light and vaguely blurred lines around the edges.The lovers are what keep this story moving, even when they're not in it, and it's hard not to feel a little tug when their relationship hits a speed bump. The actual professor is kind of a nonentity, compared to the gung-ho mummy Imhotep III, who is either insane or totally out of touch with human reality."The Professor's Daughter" is a sweet, slightly wacked-out follow-up to Sfar's tales of vampiric dating, with a slight twist on the usual boy meets girl story. Mummy meets girl?
5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning artwork, 10 Jun 2012
There story is fine, Victorian England, a daughter of an Egyptian Professor falls in love with a mummy. However, I purchased this graphic novel (comic-book) due to the stunning artwork of Emmanuel Guibert. This book stands out from so many other books which are crafted digitally (although done well is not the same) and other standard comic book styles. Painted in watercolours, many in muted and sepia colours it captures the era. The detailed obtain with watercolours and style are nothing but exquisite. I would recommend this book without any hesitation.

US 20020154650 A1Abstract
A method of providing data for transmission on a time division multiplexed (TDM) serial data stream. The method comprises mapping channels of the TDM stream to contexts, each context comprising a set of memory buffers for storing data to be transmitted. Data is extracted from the contexts in a sequence defined by said mapping and transmitting the extracted data on the TDM stream. When a buffer or buffers of a context become empty, a buffer refill request is generated to cause data to be read from a memory to refill the buffer, wherein each buffer refill request is assigned a priority. The context buffers are refilled in an order defined by the respective priorities of the refill requests. Images(3) Claims(9)

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to serial data transmitters and more particularly to a queuing system for serial data transmitters using time division multiplexing. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] Time division multiplexing (TDM) is a mechanism commonly used for sharing resources on a communication link. Consider for example a single cable connecting multiple voice or data channels between call switches. The link is divided in time into successive frames of equal duration. Each frame is further sub-divided in time into a sequence of slots (numbered 0 to n), where each slot can accommodate 8 bits. The number of slots in a frame is determined by the data rate of the link and the duration of the frame. Multiple channels are formed on a data stream by allocating respective slot numbers to channels. Thus, a first channel (CH0) is formed from the set of first slots in successive frames, a second channel (CH1) is formed from the set of second slots in successive frames, etc. [0003] Data is provided to a TDM serial data transmitter from a source (referred to hereinafter as an “external” memory because it does not form part of the serial data transmitter per se). Data is temporarily stored at the serial data transmitter in a set of data queues, one for each “context”. Each context comprises a plurality of buffers (e.g. three). FIG. 1 illustrates schematically the architecture of a part of a TDM serial data transmitter. A TDM interface 1 provides data requests at regular intervals to a context lookup table 2. The lookup table maintains a mapping between TDM channel numbers and “context” numbers. The lookup table 2 cycles through the contexts as data requests are received, and passes context numbers to a data cache 3. The next data block in the identified context is read from the appropriate buffer and passed to the TDM interface. When a buffer belonging to a context is empty, a refill request is made via a memory interface 4 to the external memory 5. For a given context, one, two, or three buffers may be empty at a given time, in which case a corresponding number of buffer fill requests are outstanding. [0004] The following table shows an example lookup table for a serial stream having 24 channels, and making use of 7 contexts: TDM 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Channel Context 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 Number [0005] In this example, channels 0 to 5 are mapped onto context numbers 1 to 7, whilst channels 6 to 23 are all mapped to context 7. It will be appreciated that the buffers of context 7 will be emptied at a much higher rate than those of contexts 1 to 6. This may give rise to problems in refilling the buffers of context 7 at a high enough rate. This is because the data cache 3 and memory interface 4 treat all context refill requests with equal priority. In a worst case scenario, and using the above example, buffers of context 1 to 6 are empty and refill requests made, when one or more buffers of context 7 becomes empty. If the refill request for context 7 is not satisfied quickly enough, the entire context may be emptied so that there is no data available for channels 6 to 23. This causes a break in the data transmitted over the TDM link which is not permitted. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of providing data for transmission on a time division multiplexed (TDM) serial data stream, the method comprising: [0007] mapping channels of the TDM stream to contexts, each context comprising a set of memory buffers for storing data to be transmitted; [0008] extracting data from the contexts in a sequence defined by said mapping and transmitting the extracted data on the TDM stream; [0009] when a buffer or buffers of a context become empty, generating a buffer refill request to cause data to be read from a memory to refill the buffer, wherein each buffer refill request is assigned a priority; and [0010] handling buffer refill requests according to their relative priorities to refill the context buffers. [0011] When employing embodiments of the invention, it is less likely that a context will become completely empty as refill requests associated with contexts which are almost completely empty will tend to be prioritised ahead of those associated with contexts which still have significant fill levels. [0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the priority assigned to a buffer refill request depends upon the number of buffers of the corresponding context which are empty. [0013] In another embodiment of the invention, the priority assigned to a buffer refill request depends upon the priorities of outstanding buffer refill requests for other buffers of the same context. More preferably, priorities are allocated to the fill requests on a first come first served basis, with a request being allocated the lowest unallocated priority. Once a refill request has been satisfied, the priority of that request is available for allocation to a subsequent request. An advantage of this approach is that when the TDM transmitter is first switched on (a condition in which all buffers of a context will be empty), the entity which handles the refill requests is not overloaded with high priority requests. [0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer refill requests are generated by a data cache which provides said contexts, and are passed to a memory interface which is responsible for reading data from said memory to refill the buffers. The memory interface places the refill requests in a handling queue according to their relative priorities. [0015] According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a serial data transmitter for transmitting data on a time division multiplexed (TDM) serial data stream, the transmitter comprising: [0016] a data cache arranged in use to provide a set of contexts, each context comprising a set of memory buffers for storing data to be transmitted [0017] means for storing a mapping of TDM channels to contexts; [0018] first processing means for extracting data from the contexts in a sequence defined by said mapping and for transmitting the extracted data on the TDM stream; [0019] second processing means for generating a buffer refill request to cause data to be read from a memory to refill a buffer when a buffer or buffers of a context become empty, and for assigning each buffer refill request a priority; and [0020] third processing means for handling the buffer refill requests and for refilling the context buffers. [0021] It will be appreciated that the means for storing a mapping of TDM channels to contexts may be a memory device or may be implemented in hardware. The first, second, and third processing means may be provided by a single processor (e.g. a microprocessor or ASIC) or may each comprise a separate processor. The processor(s) may be supported by memory. [0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data cache, means for storing a mapping of TDM channels to contexts, first processing means, second processing means, and third processing means, are integrated into a single device. [0023] According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a switch for coupling a TDM network to a packet switched network, the switch comprising a TDM transmitter according to the above second aspect of the present invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0024] [0024]FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a part of a time division multiplexed serial data transmitter; and [0025] [0025]FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of refilling contexts within a data cache of the transmitter of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0026] That part of a TDM serial data transmitter comprising the data cache (for providing the contexts) and means for extracting data from and writing data to the data cache has been described with reference to FIG. 1. For the purpose of describing an embodiment of the present invention reference will again be made to FIG. 1. It is assumed that the functions of the TDM interface, context lookup table, and external memory remain unchanged. Data requests are passed via the TDM interface to the context lookup table. The context lookup table cycles through the contexts according to the channel/context mapping defined there. As it is not possible to predict in advance how many TDM channels will be allocated to a given context, a mechanism should be provided for flexibly dealing with changing context priorities. [0027] Considering the data cache, this provides a number of buffers for each context. For example, each context may have three buffers. When a data request is passed to the data cache (the request identifying a context), the next data block (word) is extracted from one of the buffers. A counter is used to keep track of the “next” location for each context. [0028] Using the corresponding counter, the data cache detects when any of the buffers of a context become empty. For each context, a number of priority levels are available for allocation to buffer refill requests passed to the memory interface—the number of priority levels corresponds to the number of buffers, e.g. three in the present example. The priority levels are allocated on a first come first served basis, with a given refill request being allocated the lowest unallocated priority. Thus for example when a first buffer of a context becomes empty, the corresponding refill request will be allocated a priority level 1 (ie. low). If a second buffer becomes empty while the first buffer remains empty, the second refill request will be allocated a priority level 2 (ie. medium), etc. It may happen for example that a refill requests having priority levels of 1 (low) and 3 (high) are outstanding, in which case when the third buffer becomes empty the corresponding refill request will be allocated a priority level 2 (as that is the lowest unallocated priority). [0029] The buffer refill request containing the priority level is passed from the data cache to the memory interface. The memory interface places a refill request in a queue corresponding to the priority level of the request. Requests in the level 3 queue are dealt with ahead of requests in the level 1 and 2 queues, whilst requests in the level 2 queue are dealt with ahead of requests in the level 1 queue. The memory interface deals with a refill request by reading a block of data from an external (or internal) memory. The read data block is passed to the data cache, where it is written into the appropriate buffer. The memory cache updates the empty buffer record for the context. The priority level allocated to the satisfied request is then made available for a subsequent request. [0030] [0030]FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the method of refilling the context buffers described above. [0031] It will be appreciated that various modifications may be made to the above described embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the number of contexts and channels may be changed. The number of buffers available to each context may also change. The invention may be employed in a serial data transmitter transmitting a plurality of data streams. In this case, the context lookup table will map contexts to channels of all available streams.

I agree that "->" is counter-intuitive and too long. I don't quite understand why it's used in any language in favor of "."
object.method() object->method()
The dot clearly makes it seem like it's something that belongs to the object. While the arrow looks like it's pointing to the method...which doesn't really make sense.
In C, you can have either a struct on the stack or a pointer to a struct. You would use p.member to access a property of a structure that's allocated on the stack. But you'd have to use (*p).member to do the same thing if you were passed a pointer. The . operator has higher precedence than the * operator; *p.member and *(p.member) are parsed the same way, and it usually isn't what you want to do. The -> operator was added as syntactic sugar for accessing a property of a struct referred to by the pointer. C++ inherited the same syntax for objects and their members.
You couldn't, for instance, just increase the precedence of the * operator to solve the ambiguity. What happens if, in C++, you were do *object.toString().length()? That wouldn't work: you're using the . operator on a pointer again, this time on the pointer returned by toString(). You wouldn't want something like *object.*toString().length() (dereference, object, function, dereference, function, function) because the order is wrong; there is no member of object named *. You wouldn't want something like object*.toString()*.length() because it ambiguificates the * operator; does it go on the left or right of the pointer?
In, for instance, Java, object.toString().length() is fine because all objects are on the heap. The . operator only does one thing; it does what -> does in C or C++. You might not want to use . in PHP though, because . is also used for string concatenation.

The Box: An Oral History of Television, 1929-1961: Jeff Kisseloff: 9780140252651: Amazon.com: Books
› Visit Amazon's Jeff Kisseloff Page
10 New from $16.57
6 New from $57.03
Guaranteed to keep you up long after prime time, "The Box" re-creates the old-time TV years through more than three hundred interviews with those who invented, manufactured, advertised, produced, directed, wrote, and acted in them. Their reminiscences are intertwined with a chronological narrative that tells the technological, business, and entertainment stories--from pioneer Philo T. Farnsworth, through the Golden Age of comedy and drama, to FCC chairman Newt Minow's historic speech declaring television a "vast wasteland."
Kisseloff's (You Must Remember This, LJ 5/15/89) history of television's formative years will be of interest to historians, TV buffs, and the general public. The more than 500 interviews the author conducted are presented as an entertaining oral history. Those who contributed were there when the first televisions were invented, when TV shows were first developed and the performers became household names, and when others were blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee. They include actors, writers, inventors, directors, and producers. Especially interesting are the sections on the blacklists of the 1950s and those on the early, live television shows, where anything could and did go wrong. A good complement to Michael Ritchie's Please Stand By: A Prehistory of Television (LJ 11/1/94), this is recommended for both public libraries and special collections.?Judy Hauser, Oakland Schs. Lib. Svcs., Waterford, Mich.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,525,150 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
This is a great book, funny as hell, about the early days of TV. Covers all aspects -- the technology, the first TV sets, the programs, advertising. The hilarious anecdotes from forgotten old timers are useful to anybody working on "new media" today. You read about early video being blurry on a tiny screen, about programs trying to concoct different advertising models, and you realize that the Internet is only the current new medium. A lot of similar stuff has been done before.
5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb, this has to be the finest book about television history.
Best book I've ever read about the early days (and a little later on) of television. Instead ofa scissors and paste job, we have the voices of the participants and actors, comics, directors,you name it. A few of the people passed on by the publication of this book, a few more since,but this only increases it's value and interest. Get this at any price, you'll be amazed, andjust try to put it down! Well. maybe you'll have to stop reading to get some nourishment !
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for TV junkies and other
Jeff Kisseloff has written a fine volume on the formative years of TV. He takes some time to take you into the very early roots of TV and its intimate relationship with radio. He organizes the chapters simply by giving the reader a good readable introduction then following that with some wonderful oral history quotes to expand the chapter premises. The chapters hit most of the big topic for TV's early days. He really allows the participants to tell stories and give their opinion. When there is some controversy he allows those folks to tell their stories. I wish I could have been along for some great interviews and research that he did. I am a self trained radio/tv historian and he seems to have the basic facts in line. His stuff on the early days of TV is some of the best I have read. He also takes some big technology issues and puts them in understandable words. If you like TV history this is a must read.
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat history of television
This is a fascinating read of the history of TV. A very engaging oral history. It was very hard to find for a long time. I highly recommend it.
Published 14 months ago by Evelyn Benedeck
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I've always been fascinated by the history of broadcasting, and this book is an absolute must-have.
Published on March 24, 2010 by John Hourigan
5.0 out of 5 starsHoward Stern hated this ! (must be good)
I've heard Howard Stern did not like this book. This is not suprising that he wouldn't like something of excellent quality.
