Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte d'une manière générale à la réception des signaux à multiplexage en fréquence, et plus précisément, l'invention concerne un procédé d'émission et de réception des signaux à multiplexage en fréquence orthogonal. Ces signaux peuvent contenir à la fois des signaux donnée et des signaux référence (également connus comme 'signaux pilotes'). Les signaux pilotes sont émis en des positions connues avec une phase et une amplitude connues. Toutefois, les distorsions dans le canal émission peuvent altérer les données reçues par le récepteur. Les signaux pilotes sont utilisés par le récepteur pour corriger les signaux porteurs qui ont pu être affectés par les distorsions ou les interférences dans le canal d'émission. Cependant, si un signal pilote est altéré durant l'émission, les signaux donnée peuvent subir une correction erronée. La présente invention concerne donc un procédé et un appareil destinés à la réception d'un signal à multiplexage en fréquence permettant de limiter les conséquences de l'altération des signaux pilotes.

IPC: H03L7/23
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: In a channel IC for a hard disk it is desirable that the write oscillator, but preferably also the read oscillator and the equalizer, can rapidly change their frequencies upon a change of zone on the hard disk while the stability and accuracy are maintained. The phase-locked loops in which such oscillators are included inherently respond slowly to a new frequency setting. According to the invention a rapid change in frequency is obtained, while the accuracy and stability are retained, in that by means of an analog multiplier/divider a substantial part of the control signal necessary to set the oscillators to a new frequency is derived from a control signal available in a second PLL loop, preferably the PLL loop of the servo circuit for controlling the read/write heads. The PLL loop of the write oscillator now merely has to provide the fine control.

IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A transfer-target unit 11 outputs commands for data reading
and data writing. An address generator 12 generates control
signals in accordance with the commands, and outputs the number
of bytes of data first transferred by read access. A command
generator 13 generates control commands in accordance with the
control signals to control SDRAM 15. At this time the command
generator 13 judges the number of transferred bytes to control
so that SDRAM 15 executes instructions in order from an
instruction which is the most efficient in data transfer. That
is, in the case where data is read across a bank boundary, the
command generator 13 judges which is to be executed first between
read processing in a bank 0 and active processing in a bank 1,
to control SDRAM15. A data processor 14 mediates data transfer
between the transfer-target unit 11 and SDRAM 15 in accordance
with the control commands. 
     In this way, it is possible to issue commands so as to
terminate data transfer in the minimum number of cycles in the
case where data read processing is continuously performed to
different banks. The number of cycles required for two continuous
access (access to the bank 0 and the bank 1) can be thus reduced,
thereby increasing effective transfer rates of SDRAM 15.

Abstract: In the present invention, a modulation level
estimation unit calculates the square error of the
minimum value of distances between each signal point
received at a modulation level ML and the signal point
of a received signal at each modulation level ML. A
received power measurement unit measures the received
power level of the received signal. A modulation level
estimation unit calculates the value obtained by
multiplying the square error calculated at each
modulation level ML, by a weighted calculation from
both a threshold power level for switching the
modulation level ML and the received power level as
a likelihood value at each modulation level ML. Then,
the modulation level estimation unit estimates a
modulation level ML corresponding to the maximum
likelihood value of all the likelihood values at the
modulation level ML as a modulation level ML of the
received signal, without transmitting any codewords
on the used modulation level.

Abstract: In the shielding connector, a plurality of angular-shaped
elastic tongue pieces 65 are provided on and projected inwardly
from the upper and lower surfaces of the rear end portion of
a prismatic-shaped shielding shell 60 which is so disposed as
to cover a shielding wire 30 to be inserted into a housing 1;
and, when the shell connecting portion 52 of a shell connecting
terminal 50 is held by and between the upper and lower elastic
tongue pieces 65, then they can be connected together
electrically. To the shielding wire 30, there are sequentially
connected the shell connecting terminal 50 and flat type male
terminal 40. Since the shell connecting portion 52 of the shell
connecting terminal 50 is formed in an annular shape, the shell
connecting portion 52 has no insertion direction limit with
respect to the elastic tongue pieces 65. Thanks to this, when
connecting the flat type male terminal 40 to the shielding wire
30, there is eliminated the need to pay special attention to
the connecting position of the shell connecting terminal 50 in
the peripheral direction thereof. This makes it possible to
simplify the terminal connecting operation.

Abstract: Relatively viscous glass is fiberized in a rotary fiberization process at relatively high disk speeds and through relatively large diameter holes to form long, fine diameter glass fibers which preferably are rapidly solubilized in biological fluids. The method of forming the long, fine diameter glass fibers includes maintaining a ratio of the velocity of the external surface of the peripheral wall of the fiberizing disk to the velocity of the glass passing through the fiberizing orifices within a specific range (the disc/glass velocity ratio); maintaining a ratio of the velocity of the air exiting the air ring to the velocity of the glass passing through the fiberizing orifices within a specific range (the air-ring/glass velocity ratio); and maintaining a ratio of the BTU content of the fuel expended forming the hot attenuating combustion gases to the BTU content of a pound of molten glass being fiberized within a specific range (the attenuating combustion gases/glass heat content ratio). Air-laid and wet-laid fibrous mats are made from these glass fibers for various applications, such as but not limited to, battery separators, ASHRAE paper, and HEPA and ULPA filtration papers.
