Abstract: A strong three-dimensional icon is created for low-resolution displays such as
used in portable communication devices by alternating light and dark stripes, with some
stripes changing from light to dark and back to light to indicate a shadow, and other
stripes from dark to light and back to dark to indicate a highlight. Altogether, the light

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a gas turbine engine blade
spacer has an axially extending backbone (300), spaced apart forward, mid
and aft dovetail lands (302, 304 and 308), respectively, disposed along the
backbone, the backbone (300) and the forward, mid, and aft dovetail lands
(302, 304 and 308) having bottom curved backbone surfaces (310). Each of
the forward, mid and aft dovetail lands has a riser (312) that extends above
the backbone (300) and has a riser flat top (314). In the exemplary
embodiment disclosed herein, a spacer tab (320) extends generally axially
forward of the forward land (302) and includes intersecting axially and radially
extending tab apertures (316 and 318). A void (330) extends around the
backbone (300) and between the forward and aft dovetail lands (302 and
308) and the void filled with an elastomeric material (332). The spacer has a
constant shape and size cross-section between the forward and aft dovetail
lands. The invention has a particular use with circular arc dovetail slots and
roots for which the spacer is a circular arc shaped spacer and the backbone
(300), and the forward, mid and aft dovetail lands (302, 304 and 308) are
curved along a circular arc normal to and about a radial axis (RA). The
spacer tab (320) has a rectangular cross-section (321), extends axially out of
a forward face (322) of the forward land (302), and has a tab flat top (324)
that is co-planar with the riser flat tops (314) of the risers (312).

the starter motor (20) if the voltage detected by the voltage sensor (9) is
equal to or higher than a predetermined value and disallows a discharge
from the secondary battery to the starter motor if the voltage is lower than
the predetermined value.

Abstract: A longitudinally-coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave
filter (200) having a balanced-to-unbalanced conversion function, that
improves the degree of balance outside the pass band, and allows the
attenuation outside the pass band to be increased. In this surface
acoustic wave filter, at least three IDTs (204-206) are arranged along
the propagation direction of a surface acoustic wave, and among the
plurality of IDTs, the IDTs (204,206) on opposite sides are disposed in
an approximate point-symmetry about a central IDT (205). Thus,
substantially equal parasitic impedances are added to first (210) and
second (211) balanced signal terminals.

Abstract: A method for use by a speech decoder in handling bad frames received over a communications channel a method in which the effects of bad frames are concealed by replacing the values of the spectral parameters of the bad frames (a bad frame being either a corrupted frame or a lost frame) with values based on an at least partly adaptive mean of recently received good frames, but in case of a corrupted frame (as opposed to a lost frame), using the bad frame itself if the bad frame meets a predetermined criterion. The aim of concealment is to find the most suitable parameters for the bad frame so that subjective quality of the synthesized speech is as high as possible.

Abstract: The excess space and weight capacity that is typical of a launch of large satellites to high-energy
orbits, such as a geosynchronous orbit, is used to deploy small satellites at a substantially
lower-energy orbit, such as a low-earth orbit. An orbit-transfer vehicle (300) provides the navigation,
propulsion, and control systems required to transport a payload satellite (380) from a geosynchronous-transfer
orbit (GTO) to a predetermined low-earth orbit (LEO). Depending upon the particular
configuration, upon achieving the low-earth orbit, the orbit transfer vehicle either releases the
payload satellite, or remains attached to the payload satellite to provide support services, such as
power, communications, and navigation, to the payload satellite. To reduce the fuel requirements
for this deployment via the orbit-transfer vehicle, the orbit-transfer vehicle employs aerobraking
to bring the satellite into a low-earth orbit. The aerobraking is preferably performed at a nominal
altitude of 150km above the earth, where the atmosphere is dense enough to allow for a
reasonably sized drogue device, yet rare enough to avoid the need for special purpose heat-shielding
materials. In a preferred operation, the provider ofthe orbit-transfer vehicle identifies
and secures available excess capacity on geosynchronous-transfer launch vehicles, and allocates
the excess capacity to the satellites requiring low-earth orbit deployment, thereby providing a
deployment means that is virtually transparent to the purchaser of this deployment service.
