Title: Evaluation of signal-processor performance
Inventor: MARTIN ANDREW LOUIS
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1995-02-24
Abstract: A method of evaluating the performance of signal-processing device during a test period when an input signal is applied to the device and an output signal is generated by it, the method being characterised by the step of deriving a profile of input (or output) signal quality variation for intervals corresponding to times when the output (or input) signal quality lies within a predetermined range or reaches a predetermined threshold. Preferably, the derived profile is normalised with respect to the profile of the quality of the input (or output) signal for the whole period of the test. It is also preferable to assess the performance of the device relative to the performance of a reference or standard device by generating normalised profiles for each and comparing said profiles in a graphical manner. The method can be implemented in hardware or in software or in a combination of each. In one circuit for an analyser (11) the input signal is led through a clocked gate and filter (14) to generate a series of samples. The quality of each sample in terms of IBAD is measured (18) and fed to two accumulators (24 and 26) one of which (26) is gated (28) by the output of a discriminator (34) so that input to the associated accumulator (26) is blocked unless the quality of the output signal (in terms of BER) reaches a predetermined threshold (set by the discriminator). The accumulated select sample profiles from its accumulator (28) is normalised by division with the overall sample profiles from its accumulator (24) by a divider (30) to generate a profile for display (32) that is indicative of the performance of the test device.

Title: Liquid bottle cap and process for producing such a cap
Inventor: YOO MAN-JUN
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 1996-09-17
Abstract: A liquid bottle cap and injection molding process for producing the cap is disclosed.  In the cap, the top cover has an inside plug, which is tightly fitted into the opening of the cap body.   The cover also has the snap groove, which tightly engages with the snap hook of the cap body.  The cap is  thus not  undesirably  opened  and  reliably  prevents undesirable leakage of the bottled liquid even when a bottle with the cap carelessly falls flat on its side wall or falls from something, for example, a table.   In the  injection molding process, liquid plastic is injected into top and bottom molds through a gate extending to the cavity part corresponding to the finger-operable ring of the tear-off piece.   The finger-operable ring thus has a high tensile strength so that the ring is neither undesirably separated from the tear-off piece nor breaks when the ring is forcibly pulled upward in order to remove the tear-off piece.

Title: Wheel Failure Detection and Warning System
Inventor: BABLUCK ROGER A N
IPC: G01M17/013
Filed: 1997-03-07
Abstract: A system for detecting and signalling the failure of a wheel or a wheel set of a truck or trailer type of vehicle includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced magnets fixed to the wheel rim and facing inwardly of the vehicle to define a magnet plane.  An induction-type sensor is mounted to a non-rotating axle support opposite the magnets so as to have a train of electrical pulses magnetically induced therein should a  rotating magnetic field created by the rotating magnets intrude into a predetermined acceptable spacing of the magnet plane from the sensor.  The sensor is connected to a transformer which will step up the sensor signal to activate an indicator in the vehicle cab to warn the operator of an imminent wheel failure.  The threshold signal strength is determined for each wheel of the vehicle and is based on the acceptable spacing of the magnet plane from the sensor accommodating vehicle loading and dynamic effects such a vehicle speed and anticipated road conditions. If the magnet plane intrudes into the acceptable spacing, due for example to a wheel failure caused by broken lug bolts or due to excessive overloading, the induced signal at the sensor will be stepped up by the transformer to a level that will activate the indicator in the cab.  The indicator will give an audible or a visible signal to the operator and the operator should, in response thereto, stop his vehicle, inspect the wheel, and take appropriate action to correct the problem.
