Patent EP-0670558-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EVANS JAMES GIFFORD
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1995-02-22
Abstract: A modulated backscatter communication system (e.g., an Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) system) includes a central node (10) (e.g., a ceiling node) and one or more remote nodes (20-40) (e.g., ESL tags). The central node (10) transmits a downlink radio signal (16) which is reflectively modulated at a remote node (20) to produce a modulated reflected radio signal (17). At the remote node (20), a precise-frequency subcarrier signal (26,27) is modulated (24) with an uplink information signal (25) to produce a modulated signal which is used to produce (22) the modulated reflected radio signal (17). At the central node, the modulated reflected radio signal is received (12), detected and narrowband filtered (13,19) to obtain the modulated subcarrier signal which is then demodulated to obtain the uplink information signal (25), with great immunity to close to carrier downlink radio noise and fluorescent light backscatter interference.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a controller and a system having a highly reliable fail safe function. An ATP device which generates control data for the two systems from an ATP command speed signal, duplicates the logic unit in the ATP device so as to process each control data, provides at least two CRC data for checking the control data for each system, and changes the CRC data of the opposite logic units or selects one of the two according to the content of a failure detection signal from each of the duplicated logic units. It is realized to check the control data and the operation of each logic circuit and only when all the data, circuits, and elements operate normally, an output signal for controlling the object to be controlled is outputted and when a failure is detected in a part, an output signal is outputted. Therefore, when a failure occurs, a fail safe function for controlling on the safety side is made possible.

Abstract: An interactive voice response menu for computer software support which typically presents voice queries to a user is graphically displayed on a user computer. The interactive voice response menu is graphically displayed using a hierarchical paradigm scheme which is created based on statistics gathered from known user problem and is updated continuously when additional user problems are discovered. The user navigates through the graphical interactive voice response menu hierarchical scheme choosing more and more specific queries with the user computer to help diagnose the user's software problem. Also, when the user visits selected levels in the hierarchical scheme, diagnostic applications are launched automatically on the user computer which gather data for use in diagnosing the user's computer software problem.

Abstract: An electronically commutated motor has its functions controlled by a microprocessor (50). Outside the microprocessor is a watchdog timing circuit which receives its reset pulse from a rotor position sensor(60) or a further sensor on the motor (20) in order to prevent an activation of this timing circuit above a certain motor speed. The timing circuit has a multivibrator with a low oscillation frequency which, when the motor is running, is held in the deactivated state by the speed signals above a given speed. In the active state, the multivibrator periodically charges up a condenser (96) belonging to a power-up-reset circuit of the microprocessor and which is connected to its RESET input.

Abstract: A multiple-function printing device provides for picking pages from a stack of sheets in an input feeder for roller-driven movement along a first path through a printing station to an output, and for picking pages from a stack of documents in an input feeder for roller-driven movement along a second path through a scanning station to an output, with at least a portion of the first and second paths being commonly shared, and with common mechanisms being used for various steps such as for picking, providing roller-driven movement through the processing stations, and for actuating a pressure plate in the input feeders. A document guide in a document scanning mode of operation is pivoted into a lowered position generally parallel to the print station platen to constrain and contain the top and bottom of any curled document exiting from the scan station into an output roller nip so as to prevent an incipient paper jam. Prior to a printing mode of operation on a paper sheet, the document guide is pivoted about 100° so that it does not interfere with an incoming print cartridge.

Abstract: A system for identifying each cylinder in a multi-cylindered internal combustion engine uses of a disc (10) rotating synchronously with the camshaft (11). Protruding from this are as many angle marks (12, 13, 14, 15) as there are cylinders in the engine. One of these (15) is different in size from the rest, and is assigned to represent a specific cylinder. A Hall-effect sensor (16) monitors the time intervals (5) between the passage of each side of a mark and the next mark (R), with reference to the designated cylinder mark (15), and delivers a signal (S1) to a microprocessor (17). From the ratio of the time intervals to one another, each cylinder can then be identified by the computer, while the engine is running, and without any effect on the cylinders.

Abstract: A codeword generator (12) produces codewords in
the form of digital electronic signals which may be employed,
for example, in spread spectrum communications systems or
RADAR systems. The generator (12) effects a mixing ergodic
transformation (24) upon a suitable irrational number to
produce a complex number sequence. The generator truncates
(30) the complex number sequence to a predeterminded length,
thus forming a codeword. The generator then forms other
codewords within a family by permuting (28) this first
codeword. Other families of codewords may be generated by
employing another mixing ergodic transformer (32) to transform
the same irrational number or another suitable
irrational number.

Abstract: A system and method for changing the radiation pattern of
an antenna assembly (14) of a satellite (12) in orbit is provided.
The antenna assembly (14) includes a reflector antenna
(16) fed by a feed assembly (18). The reflector antenna transmits
and receives signals within a radiation pattern. The reflector
antenna (16) and the feed assembly (18) are movably
mounted to a sliding mechanism (24) so that they can be displaced
with respect to one another. The displacement causes defocusing
as the reflector antenna (16) is displaced from the
focus point. The defocusing causes the radiation pattern to become
more compact or broadened. Thus, the radiation pattern of
the satellite (12) provided with a single reflector antenna
(16) and a single feed element (22) may be changed while the
satellite (12) is in orbit.

Abstract: Dans un environnement DCE, un flux de données est formé d'une séquence d'objets demandés. L'ordre défini de la séquence d'objets est déterminé en fonction de la demande de données du client. L'ordre peut être un ordre par défaut ou, dans une variante, le serveur peut déterminer l'ordre en suivant les critères du client. Le serveur (17) peut, par exemple, rechercher des objets déjà transmis au client (13) dans le flux afin d'éviter le dédoublement d'objets. Dans d'autres cas, le serveur peut choisir un objet dans une classe d'objets en fonction de la qualité de l'objet, de sa largeur de bande, de l'emplacement du client et d'autres critères spécifiques au client. Le serveur compile et transmet le flux de données objet en temps réel ('à la volée') sur la base de ces critères. Le client assure la mise en mémoire tampon des données et les pauses nécessaires pour rectifier la dette de la mémoire tampon.
