Summary of present 3rd level trigger ideas for TOF. This list does not pretend to be a complete, since this topic is under investigation at present. Even if L3 is not supposed to combined information from different detectors, the TOF and TPC will be an exception. The present ideas indicate that the TOF information will be sent to the cpu's working on the TPC pattern recognition. Those machines will also combine TPC and TOF. The time required to perform this operation is only a small fraction of the cpu time needed for tracking.
