Patent EP-0741472-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAELIMAEKI VESA
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1996-04-23
Abstract: The invention is related to a method and circuit arrangement for processing a received signal in a variable symbol rate system, such as a digital television system. In the method and arrangement according to the system, a received signal is sampled at a fixed sampling frequency (ff) that is higher than the symbol frequency of any one of the received signals. The resulting sample sequence is converted to another sample sequence the sampling frequency of which equals the symbol frequency (fi) of the received signal or its integer multiple. Then the samples are filtered (8) and signal value decisions are made (9) for the filtered samples. Conversion of the sampling frequency is advantageously performed using a so-called modified Farrow-type fractional delay filter (6) which is controlled using a control signal proportional to the delay of each sample. Using the method and arrangement according to the invention it is possible to process received signals the symbol frequencies of which are arbitrary within set limits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process is disclosed which utilizes the "non-papermaking" portion of waste paper to produce a highly absorbent, essentially fiber-free granule which can be used, for example, as an agricultural chemical carrier. The process maximizes the amount of long (papermaking) fiber sent to the paper machine. 
     The waste paper is broken up in a hydropulper, and the pulp stock is screened so that papermaking fibers are retained and sent forward to the papermaking process, and the solid material in the reject stream, such as kaolin clay and inorganic materials pass through a flotation clarifier to separate the solids. The slurry is then dewatered by means of a belt press to form a filter cake. The filter cake then enters a pin mixer where it is broken up into individual granules. The granules are then dried to a solids content of greater than 95%.

IPC: G01S17/36

Abstract: A distance from an object to a light source (3) of a distance
measuring apparatus is determined from a phase difference
between a received signal which represents a reflected light
beam from the object and a reference signal which is obtained
directly from a transmitted light beam. The reflected signal
and the reference signal are photoelectrically generated by a
light-receiving unit (8). The level of the received signal is
adjusted by a level adjustor (14) to the optimum level suitable
to a phase difference detector (20). Consequently, the dynamic
range of a phase difference detector (20) of the distance
measuring apparatus can be made narrower. A light intensity
regulator (19) is positioned between the light source (3) and
the light-receiving unit (8) along a reference optical path
(16), and the regulator (19) regulates the intensity of the
reference light so as to be substantially equal to the
intensity of the reflected light or within a prescribed range
therefrom. Because the light intensity regulator (19) utilizes
liquid crystal which has a relatively high attenuation rate, no
mechanical drive is required. The phase difference detector
(20) detects a phase difference between the received signal
that has passed through the level adjustor (14) and the
reference signal that has passed through the light intensity
regulator (16). The distance measuring apparatus efficiently
utilizes the intensity of a received light beam from a range-measuring
optical path (30A) without attenuating the intensity.

Abstract: A stack height control assembly that is remote from the feedhead (50). A floating coupler and sensor flag arrangement (150) is mounted so that it is engaged with a paper supply drawer as the drawer is moved into an operative position. The feedhead (50) acts as the stack height sensor and through a mechanical engagement with the sensor, which is removed and remote from the supply drawer, signals as the stack (54) is depleted and the elevator mechanism should raise the stack (54). This control scheme removes complex electrical connectors from the drawer assembly and allows a wide range of substrates to be fed from the paper supply drawer By allowing the sensor/coupler arrangement to float so as to align with the drawer, the need for extremely tight manufacturing and assembly tolerances with respect to the drawer/sensor arrangement is also obviated. 
     As a result of incorporating the stack height sensor into the feedhead, several advantages are realized. There is no additional drag imparted to the sheets as the result of a sensing arm or other sensing member. This also reduces the possibility of skewing the sheets with an additional sensing member. The feedhead, due to the normal force required to acquire the sheets also provides an accurate measurement of stack height. The normal force of the feedhead also eliminates and inaccurracies that could be caused by curled sheets in a feed tray. The stack height is also measured "on the fly" as the sheets are being acquired and fed, thus providing an efficient stack height sensing scheme.
