Patent CH-621460-B (CH)
Inventor: MUTRUX CLAUDE
IPC: H02J7/02
Filed: 1977-12-23
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic timepiece provided with an electroacoustic transducer for transmitting acoustic signals to indicate a time of alarm, and also for receiving information in the form of acoustic signals to control different functions of the timepiece. Coded acoustic information is delivered to the transducer, for example, by a special apparatus intended for that purpose, and serve to control different functions of the timepiece through a watch and transducer control logic network. The logic network is interconnected with the frequency divider chain, a display control circuit, and a transducer. The logic network includes a selector which connects the transducer either to the output of an alarm logic circuit for delivering alarm signals to the transducer at the time of alarm, or to a transducer detector for transmitting the electrical signals delivered by the transducer acting as a microphone to a watch logic circuit. The watch logic circuit, in turn, controls the alarm logic circuit, the frequency divider chain, and the display control circuit of the timepiece.

Title: Paging area optimisation in cellular communications networks
Inventor: HOPKINSON JONATHAN NEIL
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 2001-08-29
Granted: 2005-06-22
Abstract: An automated process for allocating groups of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 to specific location areas is adapted to analyse communications traffic within said cells, associate penalty values reflecting the penalty of particular cell pairs being grouped into the same location area and assign cells to common location areas so as to mimimise a sum of the penalty values. The magnitude of a penalty value is dependant upon the paging load of a particular cell and on the relative degree of coverage overlap between two particular cell pairs. The invention is advantageous in that it does not require any skilled, manual input. It can be applied to cellular communications systems such as GSM, UMTS and IS95.

Title: Apparatus and method for encoding a multi channel audio signal
Inventor: GIBBS JONATHAN
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2007-09-25
Granted: 2012-05-23
Abstract: An encoding apparatus comprises a frame processor (105) which receives a multi channel audio signal comprising at least a first audio signal from a first microphone (101) and a second audio signal from a second microphone (103). An ITD processor 107 then determines an inter time difference between the first audio signal and the second audio signal and a set of delays (109, 111) generates a compensated multi channel audio signal from the multi channel audio signal by delaying at least one of the first and second audio signals in response to the inter time difference signal. A combiner (113) then generates a mono signal by combining channels of the compensated multi channel audio signal and a mono signal encoder (115) encodes the mono signal. The inter time difference may specifically be determined by an algorithm based on determining cross correlations between the first and second audio signals.

Granted: 1987-09-09
Abstract: A reusable heat-recoverable connecting device (20) has an annular driver member (22) and a circumferentially split annular spring biasing means (24) inside and generally concentric with the driver member (22). The spring biasing means (24) exerts an outward radial force against the inside surface of the driver member (22). The driver member is made from a heat-recoverable metal having a martensitic state and an austenitic state. The driver member (22) is expanded radially outward by the spring biasing means (24) when the driver member (22) is in its martensitic state to facilitate insertion of a substrate. The driver member (22) recovers to its non-expanded dimension when it returns to its austenitic state to cause engagement between the spring biasing means (24) and the inserted substrate.

Title: Oxygen converter steel refining process
Inventor: ARNO MARIO
IPC: C21C/
Filed: 1982-02-16
Granted: 1987-02-18
Abstract: In an oxygen converter refining process, desulphurisation and dephosphorisation of the iron bath is carried out using, apart from basic cpds. such as CaO, MgO and MnO contained in the flux or slag, sodium cpds. such as Na2O added in the form of sodium carbonate as a component of the converter charge. The sodium carbonate is pref. added as briquettes or granules of 5-100 mm. during oxygen blowing. The process gives improved desulphurisation and dephosphorisation since, when incorporated in the slag, Na2O has a very high equilibrium constant for desulphurisation and dephosphorisation reactions and Na ions have 1070 times the desulphurisation power of Ca ions. Additionally, both Na2CO3 and Na2O are suitable for use in oxidising environments and form silicates, sulphates and phosphates of low m.pt.

Title: Fluid foodstuffs consistency continuous adjustment
Inventor: SOMMI FRANCO
IPC: A23N/
Filed: 1987-07-29
Granted: 1990-01-05
Abstract: The system generates a digital pixel image in a framestore memory (20) by expanding run-length encoded data stored in a command memory (22). Each pixel has a variable characteristic such as its colour, or its depth in a 3-D image. The value of the characteristic for each written pixel is determined from the run-length encoded characteristic. The value of the characteristic for each pixel in the run is determined from a reference parameter which determines the initial value of the characteristic, and a difference parameter which represents the change in the value along the length of the run. The coordinates of the pixel runs may be determined from the coordinates of a preceding run. The initial location and run length for each run are determined relative to the preceding run by delta parameters associated with the current run. The system generates linear colour blends and automatically depth-clips images being written into the framestore (20).
