Title: Method for determining server staffing
Inventor: MASSEY WILLIAM A
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 1996-11-25
Granted: 1999-12-14
Abstract: A method determines the number of servers as a function of time required for a finite server queueing system based on a projected load. The number of servers is chosen subject to the constraint that the probability of delay before beginning service does not exceed a target probability at all times. The finite server queueing system is first advantageously modeled as an infinite-server system and the mean and variance of the number of busy servers at time t is determined and a distribution is approximated. For any time, the number of servers is chosen to be the least number so that the probability that these are all busy is less than the target probability. As an optional refinement, the infinite server target tail probability is then related to the actual delay probability in the finite server system.

Title: Atrial and ventricular capture detection and threshold-seeking pacemaker
Inventor: MARKOWITZ H TOBY
IPC: A61N1/372
Filed: 1995-07-31
Granted: 2003-03-11
Abstract: Capture detection and stimulation threshold-measurement methods and apparatu s for deriving atrial and ventricular pace pulse (A-pace and V-pace) stimulati on energy strength-duration data. In a first atrial and ventricular threshold test regimen for use with patients having intact A-V conduction of first degree AV block, A-pace pulses are delivered at a test escape interval and A -V delay. Atrial loss of capture (ALOC) in response to an A-pace test stimulus is declared by the absence of a detected ventricular depolarization (V-event) i n the latter portion of the paced A-V delay interval following the delivery of  the A-pace test stimulus. In the ventricular threshold test regimen, a V-pac e test stimulus is delivered after a shortened A-V delay. Ventricular loss of capture (VLOC) is declared by the detection of a V-event in the ventricular refractory period of the V-pace test stimulus. In a second algorithm for use  in the atrium or ventricle in patients having regular measured sinus rhythm,  premature A-pace or V-pace test stimuli are delivered, and the presence of a n A-event or V-event at the end of the measured sinus escape interval is declared to be ALOC or VLOC, respectively. A-pace and V-pace test stimuli ar e repeated to confirm capture declarations at an energy exceeding the LOC test  energy. The atrial and ventricular stimulation threshold data derived by varying both pulse amplitude (strength) and width (duration) is stored in memory for telemetry out and analysis and for use in setting the V-pace and A- pace normal pulse width and amplitude used between successive auto-capture tests in order to conserve battery energy.

Abstract: A method of controlling call traffic in a telecommunication system by dynamically altering the rate at which offered calls are accepted includes the steps of successively determining the offered call rate, and accepting calls from the offered calls, at a lower rate, as the offered call rate increases. For accepting the offered calls, at least two call-gapping intervals are used. The method includes selecting the shorter gapping interval whoever the offered call rate is below a threshold value and the longer gapping interval whenever it is above that value.

Title: Motor vehicle wheel with an annular device
Inventor: BAUMGARTNER HEINRICH
IPC: B60B7/01
Filed: 1995-01-05
Granted: 2007-02-20
Abstract: Motor vehicle wheels are often damaged because the driver contacts the curb with the outer side of the wheel during parking. On contacting the curb, the tire, which generally protects the vehicle owing to its greater width, is often so greatly distorted that the outside of the wheel rim is crushed against the curb and is thereby damaged. A motor vehicle wheel (11) is produced with an annular device (13) which at least partly covers the visible side of the wheel rim (18). As the joint between the annular device (13) and the wheel is releasable, the annular device (13) can be easily changed after suffering damage and the wheel (11) once more looks as good as new.

Abstract: A vibration gyroscope which is capable of accurately detecting a rotational angular velocity regardless of environmental changes or changes in vibrator characteristics includes a vibrator formed of a vibration element, and first and second piezoelectric elements for detection and a third piezoelectric element for driving. Output currents of the first and second piezoelectric elements are converted into voltages by I-V conversion circuits, or output voltages of the first and second piezoelectric elements are detected by voltage detection circuits, and then the voltages are added together by an adder circuit. An output signal of the adder circuit is monitored by a monitor circuit. On the basis of this result, the voltage or the phase of a drive signal fed from an oscillation circuit to the third piezoelectric element is controlled. The output signals of the I-V conversion circuits or the output signals of the voltage detection circuits are formed into a DC signal corresponding to a rotational angular velocity via a differential amplifier circuit, a synchronization detection circuit, a smoothing circuit, and an amplifier circuit.

Abstract: Un appareil de correction acoustique (20) traite deux signaux d'entrée, un gauche et un droit, pour compenser la distorsion spatiale en fonction de la fréquence lorsque ces signaux sont reproduits par des haut-parleurs dans une chaîne audio. L'énergie acoustique des signaux d'entrée gauche (26) et droit (28) est séparée et corrigée dans une première plage de basses fréquences et dans une deuxième plage de hautes fréquences. Les signaux résultants sont recombinés pour créer les signaux audio (27 et 29) à image corrigée qui ont la réponse voulue à la pression acoustique, lorsqu'ils sont reproduits par les haut-parleurs de la chaîne. La réponse voulue à la pression acoustique crée une image sonore apparente pour un auditeur. Les signaux (27 et 29) à image corrigée peuvent alors être améliorés dans l'espace pour élargir l'image sonore apparente.

Abstract: A method of measuring the temperature of a wire which is surrounded by a layer of insulation includes the step of wrapping the layer of insulation with an electrically and thermally conductive ground shield having two opposing longitudinal ends, one of the ends being electrically grounded. A first relationship is determined between the temperature of the wire and a temperature of the shield. A second relationship is ascertained between an electrical resistance of the shield between the longitudinal ends and the temperature of the shield.       The electrical resistance of the shield between the longitudinal ends is measured. The temperature of the wire is established by using the first relationship and the second relationship to correlate the measured electrical resistance of the shield to the temperature of the wire.
