Patent EP-0558190-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AHLADAS STEVEN JOHN
IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 1993-02-02
Abstract: An electromagnetic contactor assembly (100) with a sensing circuit (112) for determining contactor state based upon the reluctance of the contactor coil (108). The determination of the relationship between the reluctance in the coil when in an open and closed state allows contactor gap status to be measured by measuring the coil inductance. A sensing circuit (112) is added to the drive circuit to measure changes in AC current during the pulse cycle which holds the contacts in this closed position. The sensing circuit measures the AC current and is able to signal contactor status based on that value.

Abstract: In order to increase the throughput of information transfer from an audio-visual base (1) to multiple requesters (9-11) it is proposed, when a query has been raised by a requester, not to satisfy this requester immediately but to make him wait a given period (17). During this period the other requesters who are requesting the same sequence are detected. At the end of a waiting period the same sequence is distributed (22) to this collection (19) of requesters. It is shown that, by delaying distribution somewhat, the actual throughput of distribution of the data base is increased very substantially without moreover having to modify the technology for extracting the data from this base. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A primary odometer speed is measured by a sensor (20) on an odometer unit (4) rolling over the ground (10). It is corrected by calculating means (26) so as to take account of the slope of the ground at its point of contact (16) with this unit. This slope is measured with the aid of load sensors (22) which measure, for example, the loads applied to the complete unit. An inertial system supplies the orientation and angular velocities of the vehicle. Application to the navigating of off-road robots. <IMAGE>

Title: Error protection in a subband coder.
Inventor: SCHROEDER ERNST F
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1993-01-18
Abstract: In a digital audio-signal transmission process, digital audio signals are coded in sub-bands. One or more scaling factors are determined for each sub-band. The coded signals and scaling factors are transmitted in data blocks, then decoded and reproduced at a receiver. The data block contains several types of information including a header, error processing information, a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) protection word, audio information including a bit allocation table, scaling factor selecting information, one or several scaling factors per transmitted sub-band, filler bits, and supplementary information with audio-signal-dependent supplementary information. To improve the protection of the above-described sub-band coded audio signals against transmission errors, supplementary error protection information or an error protection bit is added to the data block instead of filler bits, in order to protect the scaling factors. Acoustically uncomfortable play-back disturbances caused by scaling factor errors are thus eliminated. The invention may be used in digital audio broadcast (DAB), DAB-receivers, recorders and play-back systems.

Abstract: For leak testing closed containers, such containers are placed into a sealingly closed test cavity. From the inside of the container to a space between the outer surface of the container and the wall of the test cavity, a pressure difference is applied which would lead to bowing outwards of flexible wall portions of the container. This is prevented by projections (133) at the wall of the test cavity which supports such wall portions of the container. Recesses (132) between the projections (133) make sure that the installed pressure in the space between outer surface of container and test cavity wall is dissipated all around the container in spite of the projection (133).
