Abstract: A low drop-out regulator (400) is configured to provide high
output current with a fast response during transient conditions,
while also maintaining low quiescent current under DC
conditions. An exemplary low drop-out regulator comprises an
error amplifier (402), a current feedback amplifier (406), and a
pass device (404).
The current feedback amplifier (406) has its feedback loop decoupled
from the feedback loop of the error amplifier (402) and configured to
provide effective compensation. As a result, the current feedback
amplifier (406) can be configured to operate with low current supplied
from the error amplifier (402) and to drive the control terminal of the
pass device (404) with sufficiently high current as demanded by a load
device. In addition, the current feedback amplifier (406) can be
configured to permit the voltage at the control terminal of the pass
device (404) to operate from rail-to-rail.

Abstract: The manufacturing process includes two stages: cutting a band (12) of sectors (20) and winding this band around a support (201). Between the cutting and winding stations, there is a zone (300) of variable length holding the band. This is arranged to allow the band to deform as necessary in order to compensate for differences in speed of the two part of the system.  The process for manufacture of magnetic circuits for electrical machines includes a first stage in which a cutting station (112) forms a band (12) of sectors (20) which are linked together by deformable links (16). The second stage consist of winding the band of sectors around a support (201). Between the cutting and winding stations, there is a zone (300) configured to hold a length of the band. This is arranged to allow the band to deform as necessary in order to compensate for differences in speed at the output of the cutting station, and at the input of the winding station.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting and verifying
the events occurring in a telephone line (2) in order to obtain a
greater protection against the possible frauds made in said line by
"pirate" terminals that are connected to the line in order to carry out
a conversation at no cost or at one lower than is established for the
type of call. The method is implemented on a single control module (1)
installed in the telephone central (5), which continuously monitors the
physical parameters of the line during the entire duration of the
connection with a terminal, and verifies all events occurring during
said connection with the terminal. Verification of these events involves
a bi-directional communication between the terminal (3) and the central
(5) during the establishment of the connection or call and during its
finalisation where the telephone first informs the electronic control
unit of any action that it is about to perform, while during the time of
connection an undirectional communication is established from the
terminal (3) to the central (5) by means of micro-openings made in the
line.

Abstract: A voice signal interpolation apparatus is provided
which can restore original human voices from human
voices in a compressed state while maintaining a high
sound quality. When a voice signal representative of a
voice to be interpolated is acquired by a voice data
input unit 1, a pitch deriving unit 2 filters this
voice signal to identify a pitch length from the
filtering result. A pitch length fixing unit 3 makes
the voice signal have a constant time length of a
section corresponding to a unit pitch, and generates
pitch waveform data. A sub-band dividing unit 4
converts the pitch waveform data into sub-band data
representative of a spectrum. A plurality of sub-band
data pieces are averaged by an averaging unit 5 and
thereafter a sub-band synthesizing unit 6 converts the
sub-band data pieces into a signal representative of a
waveform of the voice by a sub-band synthesizing unit 6.
The time length of this signal in each section is
restored by a pitch restoring unit 7 and a sound output
unit 8 reproduces the sound represented by the signal.
