Title: Drive circuit for a brushless dc motor
Inventor: HARDT ERIC A
IPC: H02P6/06
Filed: 2001-04-20
Granted: 2011-04-05
Abstract: A drive circuit for a brushless DC motor (100) controls at least one of a number of possible operation features of the motor. The drive circuit includes a driver stage for providing a current for a stator coil and varies which of the number of possible operation features of the motor are controlled. The operation features of the motor include inrush current limit control, PWM  speed control, analog speed control, detecting a locked rotor condition, setting an alarm following detection of the locked rotor condition, restarting the motor following the locked rotor condition, detecting a low speed condition, and setting an alarm following detection of the low speed condition. Some of the operation features of the motor utilize at least one parameter that defines the desired operation of the feature. The drive circuit further varies the parameters of the operation features without changing the physical configuration of the brushless DC motor.

Title: Communication apparatus and method
Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2002-06-26
Granted: 2011-08-23
Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to process at high speed the foreground component image and the background component image of picked up images on a network platform. A client computer 27 outputs information specifying image data desired to separate to a separation server 11. The separation server 11 obtains the specified image data from a storage server 18 and outputs it to a motion detecting server 12 to perform motion detection processing. Thereafter, the image data, motion vector and positional information are output to an area specifying server 13. The area specifying server 13 generates area information of the image data and outputs the area information to a mixture ratio calculating server 14 in addition to the image data, the motion vector and the positional information. The mixture ratio calculating server 14 calculates a mixture ratio on the basis of the image data, the motion vector, the positional information and the area information, and a foreground/background image separation server 15 separates foreground and background of the input image on the basis of such information. The present invention may be employed in a business model for image processing.

Granted: 2013-12-10
Abstract: A smoking article such as a cigarette (10) comprises a tobacco rod (12) and a filter component (14) having a cavity (22) filled with spherical beaded carbon (24). As mainstream tobacco smoke is drawn through the filter component (14), targeted gas phase smoke constituents are removed as the smoke passes through the carbon (24). During the filter manufacturing process, the spherical beaded carbon (24) flows like a liquid and substantially completely fills the cavity (22). Point-to-point contact between the spherical beads (24) together with substantially complete filling of the cavity (22) produces minimal channeling of ambulatory gas phase as well as maximum contact between the gas phase and the carbon surface of the spherical beads (24) during smoking.

Abstract: A system and method for a media access control (MAC) algorithm with separate operation modes for good channel and bad channel communication. Variables, including channel vector values transmitted in request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) messages (102-1 and 106), are varied depending on channel mode, resulting in optimized system throughput. In a first mode, the present invention provides a system and method to estimate a channel vector length (102-1), and communicate the length to a first node and any associated groups of nodes receiving the RTS/CTS sequence. In a second mode, a maximum channel vector length is used (106), as retransmissions are less probable in good channels.

Title: Power control and scheduling in an ofdm system
Inventor: NAGUIB AYMAN FAWZY
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2004-05-14
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: A system and method for power control and scheduling of sub-carriers in an OFDM communication system. The receiver dynamic range can be minimized by a power control loop that attempts to maintain received power over a noise floor in a predetermined range. If the received power relative to a noise floor in allocated sub-carriers exceeds the predetermined range and the total received power is at the minimum, the scheduling system allocates an additional sub-carrier to the communication link. Additionally, if the received power relative to the noise floor is less than the predetermined range minimum, and the total received power is at a maximum, the scheduling system de-allocates a sub-carrier from the communication link. The scheduling system may also adjust an encoding rate to maintain a relatively constant symbol rate in each sub-carrier.
