Patent EP-1164550-A3 (EP)
Inventor: GOTOU YASUHIRO
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: A system for monitoring statuses such as presence or absence of
abnormality and lifetime of a machine component such as, for example, a bearing
having rolling elements includes a plurality of determining units 4 each
connected with a plurality of sensors 3, and a control means 5 connected with the
determining units 4. Each sensor is disposed on the machine component 1 of
the associated rolling bearing for detecting an influence signal resulting from
passage of the rolling element induced in the machine component 1. Each
determining unit 4 determines according a process set-up condition the presence
or absence of an abnormality, lifetime and others of the machine component 1
associated with the sensor 3 in reference to an output signal from such sensor 3.
The control means 5 collects a result of determination performed by each
determining unit 4. In this way, with a simplified structure, monitoring can be
achieved at a low cost, precisely and efficiently.

Abstract: A first signal is read from a first track of a recording medium.
A second signal is read from a second track of the recording
medium which neighbors the first track. A filter processes the
second signal into a filtering-resultant signal according to a
controllable filtering characteristic. A first subtracter operates for
subtracting the filtering-resultant signal from the first signal to
generate a subtraction-resultant signal. A peak detector generates
peak-point information representing a timing at which the level
represented by the first signal peaks. A temporary decision circuit
implements a temporary decision about the subtraction-resultant
signal. A second subtracter generates an error signal indicative of a
difference between the subtraction-resultant signal and a signal
representative of the result of the temporary decision at a timing
equal to the timing represented by the peak-point information. The
filtering characteristic of the filter is controlled in response to the
error signal.

Abstract: A cartridge (101) for separating a desired analyte from a fluid sample includes a sample port (103) and a sample flow path extending from the port through the body of the cartridge. The sample flow path includes at least one flow-through component (122), e.g. filter paper or a microfabricated chip, for capturing the desired analyte from the sample as the sample flows through the cartridge. The cartridge also includes an elution flow path for carrying elution fluid through the component (122) to release captured analyte from the component into the elution fluid. The elution flow path diverges from the sample flow path after passing through the component (122). Flow controllers (41A and 41B) direct the remaining fluid sample into a waste chamber (139) after the sample flows through the component (122) and direct the elution fluid and eluted analyte into a reagent chamber (141) and reaction chamber (143). The continuous-flow design of the cartridge permits the rapid processing of a fluid sample that is larger in volume than any interactive region within the cartridge, allowing increased sensitivity in the detection of low copy concentrations of analytes, such as nucleic acid. A preferred embodiment relates to a device for lysing components of a fluid sample, the device comprising inter alia, an ultrasonic transducer.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of cell level scheduling for handling
unicast traffic in routing devices, for example, crossbar switches. This is
achieved by the provision of support for multimedia and real-time traffic in
large bandwidth routing devices known as terabit routers. Each terabit router
has a plurality of ingress line interface cards (210, 212, 214, 216), a plurality
of egress line interface cards (220, 222, 224, 226) and a cell based cross-bar
(202). Each ingress card has a plurality of queues, a different queue for each
of the egress cards respectively. The cross-bar (202) is controlled by a cross-bar
controller (204) in association with a bandwidth controller (206). In
operation, a target rate matrix is maintained over a set period. At the
beginning of each period, a matrix of numbers of cells queued to be
transmitted is calculated in accordance with the target rate. For each
successive cell slot within the period, a configuration is found which matches
the cell number matrix by servicing only queues which have non-zero cell
counts. At the end of the period, the cell counts are all zero.

Abstract: A satellite command system (10) and method that provides satellite
commanding using remotely-controlled modulation of telemetry parameters
on-board a satellite (30). Software is provided on each of the redundant processor
units (15a,15b) that creates separate DMA command input pathways (19a,19b) to the redundant
processor units. A command translator (32) is used at a ground station (31) to
translate a command that is to be implemented on the satellite into a form
ready for modulation. The command information is uplinked to the satellite
by remotely manipulating (modulating) a quantity that can be measured by
the on-board computer using its telemetry collection functions. The software
implemented in processor units recognizes the modulation and processes it
to reconstruct the command. The reconstructed command is passed to the
processor unit, which then executes the command.

Abstract: A method of verifying the defect management area (DMA)
information of an optical disc. The method verifies that DMA
information is properly generated or updated after a recording
and reproducing apparatus, which records or reproduces
information on or from an optical disc with DMA information,
performs a process in a test mode for testing the generation or
update of DMA information. The method includes reading the
generated or updated DMA information and verifying the
generated or updated DMA information using reference DMA
information which is predetermined for the test mode and
providing the verified result. Accordingly, it is easily
verified that the recording and reproducing apparatus exactly
generates or updates defect information by performing various
test modes using different test discs having predetermined
defect information, which has no relation with actual defects,
instead of using a disc having the actual defects.
