    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an adaptive access protocol by deciding the presence or absence of a hidden node. SOLUTION: If a source address (s) is not contained in a table after detection of a data frame, the address (s) is added to the table (1. 1). In any case, the status of the address (s) is written as 1 (1. 2) showing that the network nodes are included in the range of a node (n), and 0 sometimes shows that the network nodes are excluded out of the range of the node (n). If a destination address (d) of the frame is not contained in the table, the address (d) is added to the table (1. 3). In any case, the status of the address (d) is written as 0 (1. 4). Only the packet that is safely received is used to this algorithm in order to avoid such a case where a hidden node is identified when no ACK is transmitted due to a collision or a transmission error.

    Abstract: A digitizer tablet computer has a host processor connected to a service processor which, in turn, is connected to a digitizer controller and to a power subsystem microcontroller whereby primary control of a keyboard, a digitizer, and a power subsystem is off loaded from the host processor to the service processor. The host processor communicates with the service processor through an interface comprising a status register, an input buffer and an output buffer through which host commands and data are transferred. The digitizer produces coordinate data that is initially processed in the service processor before being passed on to the host processor. The host processor is interrupted to receive the processed data and executes in a tight loop until a predetermined amount of processed data is received.

    Abstract: A method of delievering data in a wireless communications network using a combination of collision sensing and collision avoiidance protocols. More precisely, if there are no hidden nodes detected in the network, a collision sensing protocol is used; however, if there are hidden nodes, then a collision avoidance protocol is used. This invention also deals with methods of determining the presence or absence of hidden nodes.
