Title: Optical switching device.
Inventor: STEIN KARL-ULRICH DR
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1993-05-10
Abstract: In an optical switching device in which some of the outputs of an optical space division switching matrix are connected via an optical delay fan formed by a plurality of optical fibres with graded delays, to a corresponding number of inputs of the space division switching matrix so that message cells can be switched through virtually undelayed via the optical switching arrangement or with different delays as required, the delay fan, for reducing a more or less large jitter of message cells occurring unsynchronised exhibits optical fibres with graded delays which are shorter than the duration of one message cell. In addition, the delay fan can exhibit optical fibres with graded delays which are equal to integral multiples of the message cell duration n in order to avoid cell losses when switching arrangement outputs are occupied. <IMAGE>

Title: Electrical distribution device with preventive checking of the state of the load, particularly for civil and industrial users.
Inventor: BOSATELLI DOMENICO
IPC: H02H3/33
Filed: 1993-07-08
Abstract: An electrical distribution device with preventive checking of the state of the load, particularly for civil and industrial users, comprising a plurality of electrical tapping outlets which are mutually connected by a single-phase/multiple-phase electrical distribution line (2,3,4) and at least one electrical connector (5) for data transmission which is connected to means (25) for controlling the device. Each outlet is provided with means (11,12) for detecting plugs (10b) within the respective receptacles (13,14,15); these means indicate the presence or absence of the plugs (10b) to means (17,18) for connecting the outlet (10a) to the electrical distribution line (2,3,4); each outlet (10a) is also provided with means for detecting phase/neutral polarity and means for detecting the state of the load. The connecting means (17,18) selectively close normally-open coupling means (29-33) between the electrical distribution line. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0573308-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1993-06-04
Abstract: A posting memory used in conjunction with a drive array to increase the performance of fault tolerant disk array write operations. When the posting memory flushes dirty data back to the disk array, the posting memory coalesces or gathers contiguous small write or partial stripe write requests into larger, preferably full stripe writes. This reduces the number of extra read operations necessary to update parity information. In this manner, the actual number of reads and writes to the disk array to perform the transfer of write data to the disk array is greatly reduced. In addition, when the posting memory is full, the posting memory delays small, i.e., partial stripe writes but allows full stripe writes or greater to pass directly to the disk array. This reduces the frequency of partial stripe writes and increases disk array performance. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for metal detection using a coil arrangement with several separate controllable regions
Inventor: KELLER HELMUT
IPC: G01V3/10
Filed: 1995-08-08
Abstract: The method involves using multiple coil pairs (5-8) which are arranged in crosswise overlapping fashion in e.g. the uprights of a door frame. One coil pair set (5,6) is used for simultaneous transmission of a pulse sequence whose pattern varies with the position of the sending coil, the other coil pair (7,8) is used for reception of the pulse signals from the corresponding sending coil. The received signals are sampled in accordance with a corresponding pattern so that any metallic object in the doorway can be located from its effect on the reception. Each receiving pair has its own amplifier (16) and sample-and-hold circuit (17) connected to a multiplexer (18). Signals from the multiplexer are digitised (19) before sending to a microprocessor (20) and a display (21).

Abstract: The present invention provides a multicarrier signal processor
capable of reducing the dynamic range of multicarrier signals. In an exemplary
embodiment, the multicarrier signal processor includes a controller (307) configured
to receive at least a portion of a multicarrier signal, the controller analyzing the
signal to identify at least one carrier signal of the multicarrier signal to be modified.
At least one signal modifier (35N) communicates with the controller, the signal
modifier receiving at least a portion of a multicarrier signal. The signal modifier
isolates a carrier signal to be modified as directed by the controller, and modifies the
isolated carrier signal. A signal combiner (303) receives the modifier carrier signal
and combines it with an unmodified multicarrier signal. Preferably, the multicarrier
signal processor is used to reduce the dynamic range of a multicarrier signal.

Abstract: A CPU (61) enables an FM tuner (2), a tuning
controller (3) and an FM multiplex decoder (4), after
which the CPU (61) is disabled. The FM tuner (2), tuning
controller (3) and FM multiplex decoder (4) receives frame
data including emergency information transmitted from a
broadcasting station. When a packet coincidence circuit
(51) determines that the received block is a specific
block which may include emergency information, the FM
multiplex decoder (4) causes an emergency information
determining circuit (52) to determine if the associated
packet contains emergency information. If this packet
contains emergency information, the emergency information
determining circuit (52) sends an interrupt signal to the
CPU (61) to enable the CPU (61). The CPU (61) then
reproduces the emergency information in the received data
and displays it on a display section (8).

Abstract: A pressure switch includes a switch housing which has
an accommodation bore extending inward from one end of the
switch housing, and a slide bore extending between the
accommodation bore and the other end of the switch housing.
A piston is slidably disposed within the slide bore and is
adapted to receive a pressure. A terminal serving as one
electric contact is fixed to the accommodation bore via a
holding ring made of an insulating material. A disk spring
serving as the other electric contact is disposed between
the piston and the terminal. The disk spring deforms due
to a pressing force of the piston and comes in contact with
the terminal. The pressure switch further comprises an
annular elastic ring placed on the outer end of the holding
ring. An end portion of the switch housing is deformed
inward so as to elastically deform the elastic ring,
thereby sealing the opening portion of the accommodation
bore. The switch housing has a cylindrical portion which
has a cylindrical outer shape and into which the holding
ring is press-fit, a threaded portion for attachment of the
switch housing, and a polygonal tightening portion which is
formed between the cylindrical portion and the threaded
portion and is used to tighten the switch housing.

Abstract: A video game system for simulating a golf game
displays three-dimensional image information
indicative of the terrain profile of a golf course and
image information of a golf ball on the display screen
of a television monitor. The golf ball is moved on the
display screen based on the image information
indicative of the terrain profile and a command from
a controller operated by the game player. A guide

indicative of the terrain profile. The guide is
three-dimensionally displayed over the three-dimensional
image information indicative of the terrain
profile on said display screen. The three-dimensionally
displayed guide allows the game player
to visually recognize heights and distances of various
areas of the golf course in an intuitive fashion, and

Abstract: A positioning apparatus (128) positions free ends
(121) of resilient members (122). The apparatus couples a
capacitance member (136) to the free end (121) and places the
capacitance member (136) within an electrode system (142). A
voltage source (140) applies an electric charge to the
capacitance member (136) and voltage signals applied to the
electrode system (142) generate electric fields which urge the
free end to a position of equilibrium between an urging force
of said electric field on said electric charge and an internal
restoring force of said resilient member (122). This apparatus
is adapted to also be a position sensing apparatus which
includes a time-variable signal generator that is coupled to
the capacitance member and a current sensor that senses current
magnitudes in the electrodes of the electrode system. Each
current magnitude is representative of the distance between
that electrode and the capacitance member. The positioning
apparatus and the position sensing apparatus are incorporated
into positioning systems (120) which track a light beam (123)
