Abstract: A method of joining a magnetic armature of an electromagnetic actuator to
a shaft is provided. The method includes holding the armature stationary while
spinning the shaft. The spinning shaft is then pressing against the stationary

Abstract: Method and apparatus for optimizing the processing
of join queries based on join cardinality. Embodiments
implement the methods in query optimizers in relational
database management systems. A good join order for a
multiple join query is found with a metric that compares
the relative merits of candidate join orders as a whole.
Embodiments estimate the join selectivity of foreign key
- foreign key joins, where both participating tables are
foreign keys with respect to a primary or unique key of
one primary table. A graph representation of a query is
processed to estimate the join cardinality of an
arbitrarily large number of filters and joins, including
any combination of primary key - foreign key joins and
foreign key - foreign key joins.

Abstract: A safety device is provided for a power tape cutter to
prevent accidents. In the power tape cutter which leads
out adhesive tape T through an outlet 5 and cuts it to a
required length using a power blade 7, a movable shutter
15, which inhibits a user's fingers from being inserted
into the outlet, is disposed outside the power blade 7 at
the outlet 5. Due to the presence of a spring 16, the
shutter naturally tends to close of its own accord. The
movable shutter is provided with a retaining section 20
which retains the movable shutter, locking it in the open
position and unlocking it when a device driver responds to
a signal to start cutting the adhesive tape. The movable
shutter is also provided with a power blade drive switch 30
which operates in conjunction with the movable shutter 15
when it is substantially closed, the operation of the power
blade drive switch 30 causing the power blade 7 to start to
cut the adhesive tape. When the power blade 7 returns to
its original position after it cuts the adhesive tape, the
movable shutter is opened so that it can return to a state
where it is locked in the open position.

Abstract: In a fiberoptical network, for example in a LAN, spread spectrum modulation is used, for example CDMA, by providing an electrical digital data signal to spreading means comprising a multiplier (41) also receiving the spreading code. Then a modulation is made of the spread signal at radio frequencies, the signal being multiplied (49) by a subcarrier wave generated in an oscillator (47), whereby the data signal is carried on an RF subcarrier. A control channel signal from a control unit (53) is added (51) to the modulated signal, so that the control signal will be located in the baseband. The added signal is converted (55) to an optical signal transmitted on an output fiber. The control channel signal can be TDMA-modulated using collision detection. Making spectrum spreading in the electrical domain allows the use of standard components developed for example for mobile telephone systems. No wavelength control and no optical filters are necessary, which allows a low cost system to be constructed. Alternatively the spread-spectrum data signal can be located in the baseband and the control channel on a subcarrier or both the data and the control channel can be put on subcarriers.

Abstract: To set a consistent characteristic lateral profile in a paper web, the weight cross section profile is measured and adjusted by setting the sectional pulp density at the stock inlet. The lateral formation profile is then set by amending the specific pulp throughput at the delivery jet of the stock inlet. Simultaneously or subsequently, the dimensions of the delivery jet are increased or decreased at points where there is a raised pulp throughput. The change in the delivery jet is proportional to the change in the specific pulp throughput and, after setting, the flow is at the required lateral speed profile. At least one of the setting steps is effected by a control circuit. Additional chemicals are added pref. at the edge zone, to delay and/or increase the water extraction rate from the pulp. The variations in the specific pulp suspension flows are through sectional extraction or addition of a fluid in the Z-direction, together with filling materials where there are zones with a higher throughput. The technique is especially for a paper making machine with a double fourdrinier.

Abstract: A guard interval correlator suitable for the calculation of
a guard interval correlation and a correlation producing method
therefore are disclosed. A first delay delays an input value by the
length of a guard interval while a subtractor subtracts a correlation
delayed by one clock from a delayed output. An adder adds the input
value and the delayed output. Further, a second delay delays the
resulting sum by one clock to thereby output a correlation. This is
successful to prevent the circuitry from being scaled up without
degrading the accuracy of the correlation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flame sensor having dynamic sensitivity
adjustment, wherein the sensitivity of the flame detector can be adjusted by varying the
gain of a signal conditioning circuit associated with the flame detector. The flame detector
includes a photodiode (D4), such as, for example, a silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode, that,
when exposed to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of from about
190-400 nanometers, and preferably within the ultraviolet range, generates a photocurrent
proportional to the radiation intensity. The output of the photodiode is processed and
amplified by signal conditioning circuitry (U1A, U1B, Q2) to produce a signal indicative
of the presence of a flame. Moreover, a cutoff wavelength for silicon carbide photodiodes
is preferably in the range of about 400 nanometers, which renders the photodiode "blind"
to potentially interfering blackbody radiation from the walls of the turbine.
