Near closing time - Review of Gistihusio Egilsstooum
54 helpful votes “Great Guesthouse and Restaurant”
This beautfiul, historic (1903), guesthouse, restaurant and farm, sits adjacent to picturesque Lake Logurinn on one side and on the other the small village of Egilsstadir. The wood-panel bar and dining room had a lodge feeling. The rooms featured wood floors and antique furniture. The guesthouse has a first-class restaurant and they served us even though we arrived near closing time. The breakfast buffet included hot choices and had an expresso machine. An adjacent cow shed provided fresh dairy and a farm atmosphere in the middle of the village. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledeable. Be aware there is no lift, there is a spiral staircase, and there are no ground level rooms.
Room Tip: Rooms on west side have a view of the lake. Higher floor is better.

US 20040049526 A1Abstract
A random prime number is generated within a predetermined interval by precalculating and storing a single value that functions as a universal parameter for generating prime numbers of any desired size. The value, π, is chosen as a product of k prime numbers. A number a is also chosen such that is co-prime with π. Once the values for π and a have been determined they can be stored and used for all subsequent iterations of the prime number generating algorithm. To generate a prime number, a random number x is chosen with uniform distribution, and a candidate prime number within the predetermined interval is calculated on the basis of the random number. This candidate is tested for primality, and returned as the result if it is prime. If the candidate is not prime, the random number x is multiplied by a, and used to generate a new candidate. This procedure is repeated, until the candidate is prime. Since a single value, namely π, needs to be precalculated, economies of storage are achieved. In addition, the interval of interest is approximated with a higher degree of resolution. Moreover, it is possible to utilize the same value of π for a number of different intervals.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the generation of electronic keys for use in public key cryptography, and more particularly to the generation of a random number, for use in constructing such keys, that is particularly well suited for an environment having limited processing resources such as portable electronic device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A variety of public key cryptography protocols are known for encoding information, authenticating entities to one another, and electronically signing messages. Examples of such protocols include RSA, El Gamal, Schnorr and Fiat Schamir. A common feature of public key cryptography protocols is the fact that they employ large prime numbers, with typical lengths in the range of 512-2048 bits, to form one or more keys of the protocol. Some of these cryptosystems, such as RSA for example, require the random generation of several distinct prime numbers. Thus, generating prime numbers is an essential tool in public key cryptography. [0003] When efficiency is not a concern, one of the simplest ways to generate a random prime number is to select a random number q and test it for primality. If the test is unsuccessful, the value for q is incremented by one, and the test is rerun. Since all prime numbers except two are odd, a straightforward improvement on this technique is to choose q as an odd value, and to update it in increments of two for each successive iteration of the test. However, this technique can become computationally intensive and is therefore not practical in a number of situations when large-sized numbers are employed. [0004] To facilitate the random number selection process, several techniques have been developed that make it possible to more efficiently calculate the greatest common denominator of two numbers, and thereby determine whether they are co-prime. Examples of those techniques include Binary GCD, Extended GCD and the Lehmer formula. While these techniques exhibit excellent asymptotic complexity for numbers of extremely large size, they are difficult to program in an environment having limited processing resources, such as a smart card or other portable electronic device. In addition, they provide relatively poor performance for operations involving numbers of the size typically employed in the smart card environment, e.g. in the range of 512 to 1024 bits. To increase the performance, it is possible to equip the card with an arithmetic coprocessor to carry out some of the operations of the primality test. However, other operations that are performed as part of the test, such as parity checking and binary shifts, are not compatible with the functionality typically offered in an arithmetic coprocessor. As a result, the overall performance still suffers. [0005] To address these issues, one technique for generating a random prime number is disclosed in published PCT Application WO 02/05483, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This application discloses a method for generating an electronic key from a prime number q contained in a specific interval of positive integers [qmin, qmax]. In this method, a positive integer x is chosen with x being the product of k prime numbers, where k is a maximum so that there exist two positive integers εm and εM, such that εm is the higher roundoff of qmin/x, and εM is the lower roundoff of (qmax−qmin)/x. The values x=εM�x and ρ=εm�x are calculated, and two positive integers a and c belonging to the multiplicative group Zπ * of integers (modulo π) are selected. Once these precalculations have been made, a candidate value q=c+ρ is calculated, and the primality of q is tested. If q is a prime number, it is returned, or stored, as the random prime number of interest. Otherwise, c is updated by calculating ac (modulo π) and repeating the preceding operation with the new value q=c+ρ. [0006] A limitation associated with this approach can arise from the fact that the precalculated data approximates the interval [qmin, qmax] only when the value for ρ is close to qmin and the value for π+π is close to qmax. The values for π and ρ are therefore a function of the desired interval. A different interval requires a different set of precalculated values. The need to store all of these values may be undesirable in an environment having limited storage capacity, such as a portable electronic device. [0007] It is an objective of the present invention to reduce the number of precalculated values, and thereby achieve an economy of storage. It is a further objective to provide a finer approximation of the interval [qmin, qmax] of interest, while utilizing a value for π that can be applied over a number of different intervals. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] The present invention generates a random prime number within a predetermined interval by precalculating and storing a single value that functions as a universal parameter for generating prime numbers of any desired size. In accordance with the invention, a number π is chosen that is the product of k prime numbers. This number is chosen such that (a) k is a maximum and (b) the ratio (qmax−qmin−π)/(qmax−qmin)) is lower than a desired limit. A number a is also chosen such that the greatest common denominator of a and π is equal to 1, i.e. a is co-prime with π. Once the values for π and a have been determined they can be stored, for example in a ROM or EEPROM, and used for all subsequent iterations of the prime number generating algorithm. [0009] The algorithm for generating a random prime number within an interval [qmin, qmax] then comprises the following steps: [0010] 1. Chose a random number x<π with uniform distribution, such that the greatest common denominator of x and π=1; [0011] 2. Calculate q=(x−qmin)mod π+qmin; [0012] 3. Test whether q is prime, and if so return q; [0013] 4. Otherwise, calculate x=ax mod π; [0014] 5. Proceed to step 2. [0015] Since a single value, namely π, needs to be precalculated, economies of storage are achieved. In addition, the interval of interest is approximated with a higher degree of resolution. Moreover, it is possible to utilize the same value of π for a number of different intervals. [0016] Further features of the invention are explained in detail hereinafter, with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES [0017]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a portable electronic device, such as a smart card, in which the present invention can be implemented; [0018]FIG. 2 is an illustration of an interval within which prime numbers are generated; [0019]FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a first exemplary embodiment of the invention; and [0020]FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0021] To facilitate an understanding of the invention, it is described hereinafter with reference to its implementation in a smart card having a microprocessor. It will be appreciated, however, that the smart card is exemplary of a variety of different types of portable electronic devices for which the invention is particularly suited, and therefore this illustrative description should not be construed as limiting the invention in any manner. [0022] In the implementation of public key cryptography protocols, such as the RSA algorithm, for example, it is necessary to select a pair of integers p,q of given length that are co-prime with each other, for use in generating electronic keys for the protocol. To ensure that the selected numbers are co-prime with each other, a step of verifying co-primeness is performed. In the case of a portable electronic device with a microprocessor, such as a smart card, the test is performed within the card. Examples of tests for verifying the co-primeness are set forth, for example, in IEEE 1363 standard for public-key cryptography, and in ISO/IEC WD 18032 working draft of Apr. 18, 2001. [0023] In practice, in the RSA protocol, confidentiality of the keys is ensured when the two integer numbers p and q are prime with each other and have a fixed length, for example, 512 or 1024 bits each. Typically, one of the two numbers p is an integer number that is selected in advance from amongst a set of numbers stored in the microprocessor card. The other number q is generated in a random fashion by the microprocessor card when the protocol is to be executed. For this purpose, the microprocessor card has a random number generator that is capable of supplying an integer number of the requisite size. [0024]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary smart card within which the present invention can be implemented. The card has a central processing unit 1, program memories 3 and 4, and working memory (not shown) associated with the central processing unit 1. At least one of the program memories contains a program for generating random prime numbers in accordance with the present invention. The card has an arithmetic coprocessor 2 that is capable of performing modular exponentiation calculations. Examples of suitable coprocessors that can be employed for this purpose include ST Microlock Electronics Model ST16CF54 and Phillips Model 83C852/5. The card also includes a random number generator 5. [0025] The present invention generates a prime number q within the interval [qmin, qmax] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the generated prime number complies with the ISO/IEC standard described previously. In a typical case, qmax=2n−1, and qmin=2n−1+1, to generate n-bit primes. Alternatively, qmin={square root}(22n−1+1), to generate 2n-bit RSA moduli of the form N=pq, with p and q being prime numbers. A general approach to the generation of prime numbers is described hereinafter, followed by a more refined approach in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. [0026] The generation of a prime number in accordance with the present invention comprises a setup phase and an implementation phase. For the setup phase, let 0<ε≦1 denote a quality parameter, wherein a typical value for ε is 10−3. The setup phase calculates a product of primes π=Πipi such that there exist integers t, v and w that satisfy the following properties: 1 - ε < w   π - 1 q max - q min ≤ 1 ; ( P1 ) [0027] (P2) vπ+t≧qmin [0028] (P3) (v+w)π+t−1≦qmax; and [0029] (P4) the ratio φ(π)/π is as small as possible. [0030] where φ(x) is Euler's totient function defined for any number x with prime factorization x=Πpi ei(ei≧1) as φ(x)=Πpi ei−1(pi−1). [0031] Referring to FIG. 2, the interval of interest is designated by the values qmin, qmax. If the prime number q is to have a value of 1024 bits, for example, then qmin=21023+1 and qmax=21024. The prime numbers that are generated by the algorithm lie within the subinterval [vπ+t, (v+w)π+t−1]. The difference in these two intervals is represented by the value of e. A smaller value for ε produces better results, i.e. a closer approximation to the interval of interest. The minimality of the ratio φ(π)/π in the fourth property ensures that π contains a maximum number of prime numbers. [0032] The general algorithm is represented in the flow chart of FIG. 3. As inputs to the algorithm, the parameters l=vπ and m=wπ are calculated and stored. At step 10, using the random number generator 5, a number x is randomly chosen with uniform distribution from a multiplicative group of units Zm *, i.e. the set of invertible elements modulo m. These units might be generated according to the procedure described in copending application Ser. No. 10/214,753, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. At step 20, q is set to be equal to the value [(x−t)mod m]+t+l. At step 30, a test is conducted to determine whether q is prime. This test can be performed in accordance with any known procedure for determining primality. If q is not prime, then the value for x is set to ax(mod m) at step 40, and the process returns to step 20. Once q is found to be prime at step 30, it is output at step 50. This value is then used to generate a cryptographic key, in accordance with known procedures. [0033] It is worth noting that if both a and x are elements of the set of units Zm *, their product ax is likewise an element of this set, since it is a multiplicative group. Thus, for each implementation of the algorithm, x remains co-prime to m and thus to π. This, in turn, implies that q is co-prime to π since q=[(x−t)mod m]+t+l=x (mod π), and x is an element of multiplicative group Zπ *. Consequently, the probability that a candidate q is a prime number at step 30 is high. [0034] This algorithm can be refined to increase the speed with which it is performed. The optimal value for t is t=0. Furthermore, it is advantageous to select a so that multiplication by a modulo π does not require significant computational resources. The best value is a=2. However, 2 must belong to Zπ * and, due to the fourth property (P4) described previously, 2 is a factor of π, which is a contradiction. The next best approach, therefore, is to select an odd value for π, so that 2 belongs to Zπ *, and to revise the algorithm so that q is always odd. This means that π=πipi with pi≠2, and integers v and w are odd to satisfy the properties: [0035] (P2′) vπ+1≧qmin [0036] (P3′) (v+w)π−1≦qmax [0037] The modified algorithm is illustrated in the flow chart of FIG. 4. At step 10, a number x is randomly chosen from Zm *. At step 21, q is set to be equal to x+l, and at step 22 a determination is made whether q is even. If so, at step 23 q is set to be equal to m−x+l. More particularly, if x+l is even, then m−x+l is odd since m−x+l=m+(x+l)=m=1(mod 2). Hence, q is prime to 2π, i.e., gcd(q,2)=1 since q is odd and gcd(q,π)=1 since q=�x(mod π) and �x is included in Zπ *. [0038] At step 30, q is checked for primality. If it is not prime, then x is set to 2x(mod m) at step 41, and the process returns to step 21. Once q is determined to be prime, it is returned at step 50, to generate the cryptographic key. [0039] From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention provides a method for generating a random prime number within a predetermined interval, that only requires the precalculation of a single value, π. Furthermore, the properties of this value enable it to be used for multiple different intervals. For instance, if the value of π is precalculated for a corresponding interval [qmin, qmax], it is possible to generate a prime number within the interval [2kqmin, 2kqmax] by setting π=2kπ as a parameter of the prime number generating algorithm, since the properties of the pre-calculation phase are preserved. Hence, a single precalculated value for π can be used to generate prime numbers of any size which need not be pre-specified. As an added advantage, the algorithm is very easy to implement with a coprocessor, since it only requires modular calculation. [0040] It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative, and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims, rather than the foregoing description, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalents thereof are intended to be embraced therein.

Hertfordshire activists accuse mother of cruelty after baking cakes that look like animals | Daily Mail Online
Animal activists accuse mother of two of cruelty after she started baking CAKES that looked like creatures
Marvellous creations from Hannah Edwards, 33, have caused outrage
But the mum-of-two Hertfordshire baker has laughed off the criticism
She says business is booming and there is a six month waiting list
One cake can cost between £150 - £2500 and take 80 hours to complete
Hannah rose from the ashes after losing her job and her marriage
Published: 14:03 EDT, 15 June 2016 | Updated: 08:16 EDT, 16 June 2016
What a grrrreat cake: The creations of Hannah Edwards are so lifelike animal activists have said they're cruel
Lifelike: But the mum-of-two Hertfordshire baker has laughed off the criticism of her decorative treats
Even better, her commute is just down the stairs and she gets plenty of time to bring up her children
Thrifty blogger reveals how she got the lavish £10,000... You're the Obi-Wan for me! Star Wars-obsessed couple renew...
Hannah said how she had to rise up from the ashes after losing her job as a photographer, and her marriage
Just one cake can cost between £150 - £2500, but it can take around 80 painstaking hours to complete
The 33-year-old said business is booming and that their is currently a six month waiting list
The baker says she cannot imagine doing anything else other than using her brilliant baking skills
It contacts her whenever a photo is reported for ‘graphic violence’ but each time has said: ‘Since it doesn’t violate the community standard, it was not removed’.
Miss Edwards, a mother-of-two from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, cooked up her new career after losing her job as a professional photographer and her marriage fell apart.
She works alone and now charges between £150 and £2,500 for her cakes, which can take up to 80 hours to sculpt.
‘It all began on my son’s birthday. We made him a lion cake, as we called him a little lion as he was always rolling around on the ground roaring,’ she said.
‘I hated it but everyone loved it and my friends started saying can you do such and such and it’s just gone further.
Hannah uses fresh ingredients to make the sponge base before trimming it into shape, often requiring a circular saw and even a drill
She also said that she is working in the one industry where she does not have to do any marketing
‘When I got my redundancy my marriage fell apart and I thought “What am I going to do?”
‘Luckily my friends said “Bake your cakes and someone will buy them”. I thought I’d give it three months – that was three years ago.’
The cakes are moulded around a sponge base, which is trimmed into shape.
Despite the hard work that goes into each one – and the brickbats from some animal lovers – she has no plans of looking for another job.
‘It’s the only industry I have been in where you don’t have to do any marketing. It’s fantastic, I can’t find a downside to doing it,’ she said.
‘My commute is just walking down the stairs and I get time to bring up my wonderful two kids.’

17 helpful votes “Double Booking Disappointment”
My partner and I booked Bella Vista with Olympic Holidays....... and I’m sure it’s lovely but disappointingly we didn’t get to find out as, after a 4hour delay we arrived at 6.30am to be told that Bella Vista had double booked our accommodation, along with that of 2 other couples from our same flight. Olympic then exasperated the problem by dropping us at some extremely basic apartments situated on a busy main road, (not the mountain views I had so looked forward to). We were told that it would be sorted later in the day, however when the rep returned not only had there been no attempt to resolve the problem but we were informed we would not be moved that day as she was busy with welcome meetings (!). Only after 6 very tired and disappointed guests made a firm stand did Olympic find us a better standard of accommodation – unfortunately it was in Malia (Eeeek!).To be fair we were offered an excursion as an apology which we accepted, (though the other couples did not), however this really can’t compensate for losing the first day of our holiday and the upset caused. We made the best of it and managed to enjoy the rest of our week, (with very long walks back into Stalis), but it certainly wasn’t the holiday we booked and paid for.I use these reviews regularly and wouldn’t necessarily let one couple’s experience sway me, however this impacted 3 couples from one flight and Olympic made it clear that it had been happening all season, so I thought it fair to warn others that double booking is a possibility. It’s clear that Bella Vista’s relationship with Olympic is very poor and unfortunately customers are paying the price for this.I personally wouldn’t again entrust my holiday to a hotel who accept bookings then don’t honour their word when a better price comes along. Nor to a holiday company who disappoint guests then do not feel any obligation to find alternative accommodation of a similar standard in their chosen resort until there’s tears and swear words (from the rep I hasten to add – not any of the guests!).On a brighter note the weather was gorgeous, the Greek people lovely and the Greek food fantastic!

We booked our holiday with Olympic and they were fantastic and we flew with thomson and paid £40.00 extra each to upgrade to first class which was worth every penny! you get your own good sized tv and you can watch a selection of films, tv programmes and play various different games. You also get more room and comfier seats and it makes the flying experience go a lot quicker and more relaxing, but if you dont wanna spend an extra £40.00 on your flight then economy is still comfortable there just isn't much room to move and relax which we found out on the way home haha. As soon as we arrived at Heraklion airport and had collected our bags the Olympic team called over our taxi driver whom immediately took my luggage and carried it for me (this is the life!). So we were then driven to Bella Vista which is situated half way up a hill/mountain and provides an amazing view of Crete's coastline and the village of Stalis! Our first port of call was of course the bar which is nicely placed next to the pool and we were immediately greeted by Maria, the owner who is very lovely and welcoming and who's aim is for her guest to feel like Bella Vista is a home from home. Maria showed us where our rooms where and they were lovely and spacious, the only problem we had which was out of Maria and her Husband Kosta's control is ants crawling through the cracks in the bedside cabinet and then setting up camp on our bed but we told Maria and the cleaner sprayed them with fly spray which killed them and deterred them from coming back for a while. I just bought some fly spray from a local supermarket in Stalis and sprayed the cabinets once in the morning and once at night and we had no problems after that. Too get to Bella Vista you have to tackle a massive hill which really isnt what you want to be doing in 30 degree heat so we rented quad bikes from a place that is just at the beginning of the Stalis shopping area for 5 euros per a day but prices can vary depending on what size quad you get but it is still very cheap and worth every penny and the people who rent the quads out to you are really nice and friendly. Stalis is a beautiful town with lots of shops, restaurants and a lovely beach, theres always plenty to do and if you want to explore more of Crete then head over to Hersonissos which has shops and restaurants on both sides of the road for about 1-2 miles, girls its shopping heaven! But I would recommend going shopping in the evening about 6-7pm as it is a bit cooler then and easier to shop about. Restuarants that are a must in Stalis are Kalianna and Marias Golden beach! both do amazing food and offer you different Greek dining experiences Kalianna is right next to sea front so you can enjoy.amazing views, also the staff are awesome and make you feel relaxed and welcomed. For laughs and jokes Marias golden beach is the place to be! the manager had a few sayings to keep you entertained such as 'bloody nora' 'lovely jubbly' 'hello mike' and 'lovely story'. If your a meat lover then the gammon is a must!Excursions that I would recommend are the Jeep safari which takes you right up to the tops of the mountains of Crete, so if your not a fan of crazy heights dont do it! we paid 75 euros which is a lot of money but your taken out for a whole day and it includes a Greek salad, unlimited water and wine and you choose from a selection of what you want for a main meal and it really is very tasty. You experience sights you will probably never see again, breath taking views and you gain a lot of knowledge about Greece, its history and culture. We also went to water city which was really good and has some amazing rides, really good family day out!. The other excursion we did was Greek night where you do Greek dancing, enjoy Greek food and wine and really get to know Greek people and their culture. This was an amazing holiday which allows all different people to find something they love to do all in one place! I mustn't forget to mention the awesome Rale and Aleksandra who work the bar and cook the food and generally cater for your needs at Bella Vista, they became more like friends then people that were serving us and they really do make your holiday that more enjoyable!. After I have explored the world a bit more I will definitely be making a return to Bella Vista in Stalis.

Level Contributor 15 reviews 2 helpful votes “Great holiday”
Just got back from a week at the Bella Vista. It is a really nice place to stay, we liked it especially because it was secluded and quiet with amazing views across Stalis and Malia which made it really relaxing. Apartment was clean, bathroom and bedroom were great, the only thing we thought is that there wasn't enough in the kitchen to be able to make a nice meal (just a portable hob and a kettle and a frying pan) which was quite a let down considering we booked self catering. The other thing that let us down was that we had to check out our room at 12 midday, having been told we would be given a hold room for our luggage and to have a shower before our flight.. which wasn't till 3am. But we didn't and had to leave our luggage outside all day and get changed outside.Other than that though, it's an amazing place to stay, the bar serves quite cheap and nice quality food and drinks, the pool is great and the views are stunning! We rented a quad bike because of the hill, and it made it so much easier, although dont be put off by the hill if you dont want to get a quad or a car because it IS manageable - just very tiring!

A connector simulates the appearance of connecting a device to another communication port. Upon detecting the connection event, the game console queries the communication port associated with the connection event. A bus reset detector alerts the wireless peripheral controller. The alerted wireless peripheral controller signals the game console through the original communication port with the appropriate configuration instructions to obtain a unique device address for an additional wireless game controller. Using the unique device addresses, the wireless peripheral controller receives and responds to traffic intended for other communication ports through the original communication port.
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to peripheral device controllers. More particularly, the present invention relates to connecting wireless devices to a console using a single data channel.
BACKGROUND AND RELATED ART The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become the dominant interface used for connecting Human Interface Devices (HIDs) such as mice, keyboards and game controllers to Personal Computers (PCs). This dominance is starting to extend to non-PC computing platforms, such as game consoles.
SUMMARY A wireless peripheral controller connects multiple wireless devices to a console using one of the console communication ports. In response to connection events detected on different console communication ports, the wireless peripheral controller may allow additional wireless devices to conduct communication with the console across the initial console communication port. The wireless peripheral controller may be configured to respond to a bus-reset signal sent to a different console communication port using the original communication port.
FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable wireless operating environment 100 that includes a host or game console 110 and a display device 115, such as monitor and/or television. The game console 110 includes at least one communication port 150 electrically coupled with a wireless peripheral controller 120. Exemplary game consoles 110 include the Microsoft� Xbox�, Sony� Playstation�, Nintendo� Gamecube�, Set-Top Boxes (STBs) or other specialized game entertainment centers.
FIG. 2 shows a USB system 200. The system 200 includes a host 210, a wireless peripheral controller 220, and multiple wireless HIDs 230. The wireless peripheral controller 220 communicates with HID 230 a and HID 230 b using wireless communication channels 240 a and 240 b. In one embodiment, the host 210 includes a USB host controller 212 coupled to a USB hub 214 (a root hub or a subsidiary hub) having multiple downstream communication ports 216 a�216 d. The wireless peripheral controller 220 includes a USB micro-controller unit (MCU) 222, a wireless communication interface 224, and multiple upstream ports 226.
When a connection event is detected on a downstream port 216 (D+ pullup), the host controller 212 sends a bus reset signal to the downstream port 216 where the connection is detected. The USB host controller 212 then uses a default device address to communicate with the recently detected device.generates a device address �0� in response to the device that responds to device address �0�. The USB host controller 212 assumes that the device that device responding to the default device address �0� is attached to the port on which the connection event was detected.
Upon detecting a new connection, the USB host controller 212 assigns a unique device address to the newly connected USB device. In one embodiment, this assignment is accomplished by sending a �reset� signal to the downstream ports 216 a�216 d on which the connection event was detected of the hub 214. The host 210 then communicates with the newly attached device using the USB default device address �0� and begins the process of �enumerating� the newly connected device. During enumeration, the host 210 determines the operational characteristics of the newly attached device and assigns the device a unique device address. The device address assigned by the host 210 is then used for all subsequent communications between the host 210 and the peripheral device.
In one embodiment, the wireless peripheral controller 220 also includes a non-operable USB port or dummy USB plug 250 that simulates an operating communication port. An exemplary non-operable USB port includes a pull-up resistor 254 coupled between a D+pin 262 b and a Vbus pin 260 b. Once the connection between the downstream port 216 b and the upstream port 226 b is made, the �D+� signaling line 262 b is pulled up by a 1.5 k resistor 254. Signal lines 266 b and 268 b in the upstream port 226 b of the dummy plug 250 are tied to ground.
The USB host controller 212 may send a bus reset signal to all of each the downstream ports 216 that detects a connection event by simultaneously driving low both the D+ lines 262 and the D− lines 264. The dummy plug 250 includes a bus-reset detector 256 that identifies the bus reset state. In one embodiment, the bus-reset detector is implemented using either OR gate or a logical NOR gate connected to both the D+ line 262 b and the D− lines 264 b. Once the bus reset signal line 252 is enabled, the MCU 222 waits for the bus reset condition to end and then responds to communications directed to the default device address. The MCU 222 of the wireless peripheral controller 220 can enumerate a second device with the USB host controller 212 using the first connected upstream communication port 226 a. Another embodiment feeds all of the signal lines 260�268 into control logic located within the peripheral controller 220. This allows the MCU 222 to manipulate the control logic to produce the appropriate connection and response signals in all of the attached plugs. In this configuration, the first set of signal lines 260 a�268 a would conduct communications for all of the attached plugs and the remaining signal lines 260 b�268 b would be configured as non-operable ports or dummy plugs 250.
In one embodiment, the peripheral controller 320 activates a connection event on an unused game communication port 350 a. Upon receiving a bus reset from the game console 310, the peripheral controller 320 responds to any endpoint �0� traffic directed to the previously unused port 350 using a first device address.
Recognizing that the game console 310 is attempting to communicate with the previously unused port 350 a, the peripheral controller 320 changes a first device address associated with a first wireless game controller 330 a to the assigned value provided by the game console 310 during the enumeration process. In the event that a second wireless game controller 330 b is activated, the peripheral controller 320 may generate a connection event on a second unused game communication port 350 b. As with the first unused communications port 350 a, an endpoint �0� request is transmitted immediately after a bus reset is detected to the second unused port 350 b. The peripheral controller 320 recognizes that the game console 310 is attempting to communicate with the second previously unused port 350 b and associates a second device address with the second wireless game controller 330 b. In one embodiment, the peripheral controller 320 may have its own virtual communication port electrically connected to a root hub in the game console. The virtual communication port may create connection events that appear to originate from any of the unused game communication ports 350. Once enumeration has taken place for the device addresses, communication is similar to a configuration where multiple wireless HIDs are communicating with a host through a single connection using multiple endpoints or interfaces using a single device address, except that both device addresses will be used through the single virtual connection.

Boris Johnson urged to think again on low emission zone
London assembly passes motion calling for mayor to revoke his decision to suspend the next phase of the capital's air pollution reduction scheme
Wed 18 Mar 2009 16.03 EDT First published on Wed 18 Mar 2009 16.03 EDT
Boris Johnson was today urged by a cross-party coalition to revoke the "reckless and irresponsible decision" to suspend the next phase of London's low emission zone (LEZ) amid fears that British taxpayers could be forced to pay a £300m fine for the capital's poor air quality.
Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green party members on the London assembly passed a motion by 12 votes to eight calling on the mayor to proceed with the next phase of the scheme, which aims to reduce air pollution, improve Londoners' health and help meet European air quality standards.
The assembly's environment committee has meanwhile sought legal advice on whether the government can overturn Johnson's decision to suspend the third phase of the scheme, in light of the UK's EU obligations on air quality standards.
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is believed to be furious that the mayor has dropped a measure which is seen by experts as a fundamental way of reducing air pollution in the capital.
Earlier this year, the European commission started infringement proceedings against the UK for failing to comply with levels of particulate matter – dangerous airborne particles emitted by industry, traffic and domestic heating.
The UK's formal application for an extension to meet the standards by 2011 includes reference to both London's western extension of the congestion charge, set to be scrapped by Johnson, and the low emission zone.
Darren Johnson, a Green party assembly member, triggered the request for legal clarification from Greater London authority lawyers on whether the government could overturn the Conservative mayor's decision in light of the fact that breaching EU standards would cost taxpayers millions of pounds in fines.
Johnson said the mayor had made a "reckless and irresponsible decision to backtrack on the plans".
He said: "Not only is he playing with the health of Londoners, but he is also undermining the government's case to the EU that it is taking air quality seriously in a bid to avoid a £300m fine. We must do everything possible to push forward with the LEZ."
Murad Qureshi, from the Labour group, who seconded the motion, said the mayor's decision "beggars belief".
"Poor air quality can significantly reduce the lung capacity of children, causes asthma and affects the quality of life of the elderly. Boris Johnson must take his public health responsibilities seriously and reinstate the third phase of the LEZ."
The low emission zone was introduced last year by Johnson's predecessor, Ken Livingstone, as a way to cut harmful emissions by encouraging the replacement of highly polluting vans and lorries with new models that met the required emission standards.
The scheme currently targets buses, coaches and the most polluting lorries over 3.5 tonnes. Failure to meet the required emissions standards leads to a £200 daily charge, or a £1,000 daily fine if the charge is not paid.
Phase three of the scheme was scheduled to start in October next year and would have affected 90,000 much smaller vehicles, including vans and minibuses. A daily £100 charge was due to be imposed on those that did not meet the emissions standards. Failure to pay would have incurred a £500 fine for each day that the vans entered the zone, which covers the Greater London area.
But Johnson announced last month that he would suspend it because of fears that it would have a "detrimental impact" on small businesses in the downturn, despite the fact that London has the worst air quality in Europe.
A spokesperson for Johnson said: "The mayor is firmly committed to reduce pollution and improve air quality in the capital and has laid out clear plans to do so in partnership with the government.
"The first two phases of the low emission zone have worked well and targeted the heaviest polluting vehicles. However, phase three would clobber London's small businesses, the backbone of the capital's economy, with a bill that in the current economic climate could put many of them out of existence.
"The mayor believes that a range of other measures will allow real progress to be made by 2012 in terms of cutting pollution and hitting air quality targets. At a recent meeting with Lord Hunt [air quality minister] to discuss air quality issues they agreed that the GLA and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will work on a package of measures, both national and regional, which will address emissions in London in order to meet EU targets.
"He has also written to Lord Mandelson, the business secretary, with the aim of working with the government on a subsidy scheme for replacing the oldest, most polluting light goods vehicles.
"Improvements to London's air quality will also result from work taking place to re-phase the traffic signals, open bus lanes to motorbikes, working with utility companies to cut the chaos caused by their works, encouraging people out of their cars with vast improvements to the public transport network and the introduction of a cycle hire scheme with 6,000 bikes by 2010."
