Patent JP-H067844-B2 (JP)
IPC: A47C20/00
Filed: 1989-05-02
Abstract: An anti-snoring pillow which helps to reduce snoring by positioning the head of the user such that the degree of blockage in the user's breathing passageway is reduced. The anti-snoring pillow (10) includes a base member (14) which is preferably inclined and has a curved front edge (28) which is lower in height than the rear edge (21). The upper surface of the base member adjacent the front edge has an elongated bolster (12) secured thereto, which bolster is curved along its length to conform to the curved shape of the front edge of the base member. The bolster also includes a curved peripheral cross-sectional area (16) for comfortable support of the user's neck. The bolster and the base member, and the choice of materials therefor act in conjunction to ensure comfort and also the positioning of a user's head as to decrease the blockage of the user's breathing passageway when the user is in a back or in a side sleeping position.

Date Feb. 23, 1995A multistation single-channel communication bus system accommodating master stations and slave stations, with any master performing arbitration, arbitration outcome detection, and, upon winning the arbitration, formatting a frame having a slave address and slave control signals, and accommodating data byte periods for data transmission from a transmitter station to a receiver station up to a first maximum data byte length. Each period accommodating an acknowledge bit from the receiver station. The transmitter station responding to the absence of the acknowledge bit for a particular data byte by repeating that data byte. The system, for a message whose data byte length would exceed the first maximum, divides the message into partial messages each of an associated frame data byte count below the first maximum, and assigns each partial message to a respective bus frame. The system counts, in a particular frame, data byte periods and received acknowledge bits. The transmitter station, upon attaining the first maximum earlier by the data byte periods than the frame data byte count by the acknowledge bits, signalling a frame failure and ignoring any transfer in the particular frame for undertaking a repeat thereof.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE96/02011 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 18, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 18, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 23, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/15976 PCT Pub. Date May 1, 1997A back-up device includes at least one back-up battery, in particular a rechargeable battery which can be charged via the power supply, and a control unit. The control unit connects the back-up battery when the actual value of the DC voltage is less than a predefined minimum value, generates a predefined back-up time period and disconnects the back-up battery again, cyclically, after this time period has elapsed. The device has the advantage that the return of the output DC voltage of the power supply can be identified effectively without major complexity. The loads continue to be supplied both in the event of a failure of the supplying input voltage and in the event of a failure of the power supply, since the output DC voltage, which is essential for the loads, of the power supply is monitored. The device can be connected additively downstream of a power supply, without any intervention in its design being necessary. The device has the further advantage that it automatically connects the battery as a back-up, even in the event of dips in the output DC voltage caused by short-circuits, as soon as the load voltage falls below the minimum value. Thus, the device allows a virtually continuous transfer and back-up of the output DC voltage in a multiplicity of fault situations.

Granted: 2008-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to telecommunication networks and particularly to mobile networks using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmission systems. The invention also relates to the control of mobility and call control functions in ATM systems. According to the invention, a network element (MSC/BSC) of a telecommunication network, such as a mobile network, which in a conventional telecommunication network architecture ensures the switching of circuit-switched connections, is provided with an ATM switching function. ATM switching functions are controlled with the same call and switching control operations (31) that are conventionally used e.g. for the control of a TDM switching field (32) in a PLMN network element. In a minimum implementation, an ATM switching field (301) provided with a suitable control interface (30) is simply arranged in place of or parallel with the TDM switching field. The switching network element thus becomes an ATM network node of a physical or a logical interface layer. PLMN level signalling, mobility management and call control are implemented using solutions offered by existing mobile networks and current PLMN network elements.

The fourth epitaxial layer has a higher carrier concentration than is present in the first, second and third epitaxial layers. A first ohmic contact is formed upon the fourth epitaxial layer and a second ohmic contact is formed on the lower surface of the substrate. An ohmic gate contact is connected to the gate grid for pinching off the flow of current between the first ohmic contact and the second ohmic contact when a bias is applied to the ohmic gate contact.

Either forward or backward or bi-directional prediction can be used. Either one frame or multiple frames can be taken as reference. The reference frame can be from the enhancement layer, base layer or both. Either the complete motion vectors are encoded, or only the difference between the motion vector and the corresponding BL motion vector is encoded. <IMAGE>
