Abstract: 1. A method of producing stamped or embossed patterns in material webs, especially in paper, cardboard or metal foils, between a stamping cylinder (patrix) and a counter-pressure cylinder (matrix) between which the material web travels within a cylinder printing machine, thereby to become stamped or embossed after the application of the printing inks, wherein the stamping cylinder (1) and the counter-pressure cylinder (2) deform or shape the material web passing through between them, only in the area of the stamped or embossed patterns, and the stamping cylinder (1) effects the shaping unilaterally in the stamping or embossing area, characterized in that the material web (3) is passed through between the stamping and counter-pressure cylinders (1, 2) under a tension as corresponds to the tension for moving the web within the color printing machine, and that, to this effect, the pressure exerted on the travelling material web (3) running between the stamping and counter-pressure cylinders (1, 2) is as most as high as the pressure (applied) between the color printing and/or presser rollers operationally located upstream of the stamping and counter-pressure cylinders.

Each of these membranes (20) consist of protein molecules or protein containing molecules arranged according to a two-dimensional crystal lattice, between which continuous pores of equal size and form remain free, and they are advantageously formed from molecules, which were particularly separated from cell-membranes of procaryons, by means of a recrystallization process designated as self-organization, and which are preferably deposited on or into the carrier (21) and are cross-linked with the carrier (21) intra- or intermolecularly, respectively, through foreign molecules. The structure is suitable, furthermore, for use as a separating organ for a gas separation or for an ion exchange process, as well as for use as a carrier structure for other semi-permeable membranes, such as hyperfiltration membranes. Moreover, with membranes in vesicle form it can serve as a chromatography column and, in the form of film, as envelope material for the most varied substances.

Granted: 2009-02-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for logging an earth formation and acquiring subsurface information wherein a logging tool is conveyed in a borehole to obtain parameters of interest. The parameters of interest obtained may be density, acoustic, magnetic or electrical values as known in the art. As necessary, azimuths associated with the measurements are obtained and corrections applied. The corrected data may be filtered and/or smoothed. The parameters of interest associated with azimuthal sectors are depth matched, resolution matched and filtered, and the acquisition effects removed. The data are denoised using a multi-resolution wavelet transform. The data acquired with separate transducers are resolution matched to obtain a resolution matched data series. Subsequently the resolution matched data may be further denoised using a multi-resolution wavelet transform.

Title: Analogue-to-digital converters,digital-to-analogue converters,and digital modulators
Inventor: PEARCE TIMOTHY HALCOMBE BROOK
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 1992-04-10
Granted: 1994-10-26
Abstract: In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of a known sigma-delta analogue-to-digital converter A, the input to the loop filter means 3, 4 (which can be regarded as an error signal between the analogue input and, ignoring imperfections in the digital-to-analogue converter 8, the analogue equivalent of the digital output), is filtered, amplified and converted to a digital signal in a second sigma-delta converter B. This digital signal is combined with the digital output of the analogue-to-digital converter A to produce an output of the two stage converter with improved signal-to-noise ratio. Phase and amplitude errors introduced before the signals are recombined are corrected for by an equalisation network which is calibrated at regular intervals by means of a test generator 18. The same technique can be employed to produce a digital-to-analogue converter, and a digital modulator, with improved signal-to-noise ratio. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Frequency synthesizer, and radio pager incorporating the same
Inventor: SATO MASUJIRO
IPC: H03L7/00
Filed: 1992-08-21
Granted: 1995-07-05
Abstract: In a frequency synthesizer, a first, variable frequency divider and a second frequency divider are activated in response to a periodic power activation pulse. The first frequency divider is driven by a voltage-controlled oscillator and the second frequency divider is driven by a reference frequency oscillator. A timing difference between the outputs of the first and second frequency dividers is detected and converted to a frequency-domain control signal for coupling to the voltage-controlled oscillator. Since the timing difference is converted to a frequency domain signal, the VCO is stabilized once there is a substantial frequency match between the first and second frequency dividers. Since the VCO can be stabilized thereafter, the frequency dividers can be deactivated when the detected timing difference is reduced to an acceptable value and are allowed to remain inactive until the synthesizer is activated again by the next activation pulse.

Granted: 1999-01-06
Abstract: A device and method for controlling HF single side band radio squelch operation in which a serial tone burst indicates the start and end of a transmission and identifies an on-going transmission. Additionally, receivers in a power saving sleep mode can be activated by receipt of a set of serial tone bursts that have been transmitted with sufficient duration for the receiver to be assured the opportunity to detect them. During the subsequent transmission of information, single "keep-alive" serial tone bursts are transmitted at random time intervals. The end of a transmission is signalled by another set of serial tone bursts. The bursts are provided with the transmitted signal on its frequency and preserve signal bandwidth.

Abstract: A telecommunications system including a plurality of mobile telephones has a switch network including: data storage units (HLR) for storing connection data relating to respective mobile telephones; a register (15) for storing associations between data storage units and respective identification codes; inputs for inputting an identification code; and a switch unit (30, 31) for interrogating the register (15) to permit determination of the data storage unit (HLR) associated with that identification code. The switch network then uses the connection data stored by the data storage unit (HLR) to form a telecommunication link with the corresponding mobile telephone. The register unit (15) has two states. In a first state the register unit (15) and switch unit (30, 31) determine the data storage unit (HLR) associated with the input identification code. In a second state, the register unit (15) is linked to a routing unit (40). The routing unit (40) may then handle the call in one of various different ways such as re-routing the call back to the network or terminating the call. The state of the register unit (15) is determined by a condition such as time of day or origin of call.
