Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: A device for retracting edges of an incision in a surface to form an opening including: a flexible, tubular skirt having an upper end, a lower end, and a channel therebetween; a ring connected to the lower end of the skirt for maintaining the lower end in an open configuration and defining an exit opening to the channel; and an inflatable collar connected to the skirt and surrounding the upper end. The ring is designed to fit through the incision and remain under the surface when it is oriented parallel to the surface. The collar, when inflated, maintains the upper end in an open configuration and defines an entry opening to the channel. During use, the ring is inserted through the incision and the collar is inflated while remaining outside of the incision, thereby drawing the skirt against the edges of the incision and retracting the edges of the incision to form the opening. The retracting device can be included in a surgical access port, which further includes a flexible sleeve connected to at least one of the inflatable collar and the skirt, extending the channel from the exit opening of the skirt to an open end of the flexible sleeve distal to the skirt. The device can include a light source in the vicinity of the exit opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Single ended line testing method for qualifying an electrically conducting line. This method comprises the steps of sending a plurality of excitation signals from a first end of said line towards a second end of said line and before the sending of this plurality of excitation signals, randomising each excitation signal of the plurality of excitation signals. Subsequently, measurements are performed, at the first end of the line, of each reflection of the plurality of excitation signals sent towards the second end of the line. Then an inverse randomisation on each of the measurements of reflections is performed which is succeeded by determining an average of all the measurements of reflections of the excitation signals. Finally, from the average a qualification of the electrically conducting line is determined.

Abstract: Lors du perçage de trous (14, 15) dans un substrat (1) à l'aide d'un rayon laser, de préférence dans une plaquette conductrice, l'axe du rayon est dirigé vers le centre du trou (M) pour le passage d'un trou à un autre, puis déplacé sur une trajectoire circulaire (K) afin de percer le trou par mouvement circulaire. L'invention vise à éviter tout changement de direction brusque, au centre du trou, entre la direction de saut dans le centre du trou et la direction de déplacement vers la trajectoire circulaire programmée fixement. A cet effet, plusieurs directions de déplacement (V1 à V8) associées à des programmes de perçage, sont prédéfinies, et la direction présentant le changement de direction le plus faible par rapport à la direction de saut du rayon laser entrant, est choisie. Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir une vitesse de traitement supérieure (vitesse de saut et vitesse de perçage sur la trajectoire circulaire), tout en conservant ou améliorant la qualité de perçage des trous, ainsi qu'une durée de vie augmentée des moteurs galvaniques dans l'unité de déviation (2).
