Patent EP-1287783-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JA-RYOUNG PARK
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotating patient chair mounted with an
integrated ear diagnosis and treatment unit that controls the position of a
microscope 48 and a monitor 50 rotating around the rotating patient chair 30 at
a predetermined angle or 180 degrees, the unit including: suctioners 44, 52, a
treatment board 46, a blood pressure tester 54 and a manipulating switch box
40 for controlling the diagnosis and treatment tools, and the monitor 50 and the
microscope 48 positioned in correspondence with the patient's ears
anatomically positioned at 180 degrees to enable the patient to observe all of the
treatment processes to the ear parts including the thin, dark auditory canals and
eardrums on the monitor 50 installed at an opposite side and to enable the
practitioner to explain all of the treatment processes shown on the monitor to the
patient and his guardians, thereby improving reliability on the practitioner and
the treatment processes and maximizing the treatment effects, and performing
diagnosis and treatment processes to the patient's ears by not letting the
practitioner or patient move around but merely by rotating the ear diagnosis and
treatment unit, minimizing discomfort and inconvenience to the practitioner or
patient, shortening the medical treatment time and minimizing the space of a
treatment room occupied by the diagnosis and treatment unit.

Abstract: An AC-DC voltage converter includes input terminals with a series circuit
connected between the input terminals. The series circuit includes a switching
element and a capacitor. The discharge of the capacitor supplies the output voltage of
the converter. A control circuit controls the operation of the switching element so
that the conducting state of the switching element is controlled exclusively as a
function of the input voltage, while the nonconducting state of the switching element
is controlled exclusively as a function of the output voltage. 
     The converter has a good dynamic range and allows accurate measurement of
current consumption at the output.

Abstract: Data compressed according to a lossy DCT-based algorithm, such as the MPEG or MPEG2 algorithms, is decompressed according to a dynamically-selected set of DCT coefficients, with unused coefficients masked out. A macroblock of the data exhibiting little motion is decompressed with a small subset of DCT coefficients, while a macroblock exhibiting more motion is decompressed using a larger subset of DCT coefficients up the full set of DCT coefficients. Average computational complexity is thus kept low, enabling the use of inexpensive equipment, while degradation is minimized.

Abstract: A method and system that enables multiplexing a plurality of data streams onto one data stream based on data stream priorities, available transport format combinations (TFCs), and transmission time interval (TTI) constraints of transport frames within the TFCs is disclosed. A subscriber unit (12) has applications that produce separate data streams. Example applications include voice (32), signalling (34), E-mail (36) and web applications (38). The data streams are combined by a multiplexer module (48) into one data stream called the transport stream (50). The transport stream (50) is sent over the reverse link to base station transceivers (BTS) (14). The multiplexer module (48) multiplexes the data streams onto a single stream according to available TFCs, TTI constraints, data stream priorities, and current maximum transmitter power constraints.
