Inventor: KROEGER BRIAN W
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2003-04-21
Granted: 2014-10-14
Abstract: A method of transmitting digital information uses the steps of forward error correction coding (56) a plurality of bits of digital information (54) using complementary pattern-mapped convolutional codes, modulating (62) a plurality of carrier signals with the forward error correction coded bits, and transmitting (76) the modulated carrier signals. The modulation can include the step of independently amplitude shift keying the in-phase and quadrature components of the QAM constellation using Gray codes corresponding to amplitude levels. Receivers for such signals are also described.

Title: Secure lamp base and socket
Inventor: KOVACS GEORGE
IPC: H01R33/08
Filed: 2005-02-02
Granted: 2012-07-24
Abstract: A lamp base (14) and mating socket (24) locking to prevent axial separation. A lamp base (14) has a locking bridge (18) with arms (32) extending between pairs of contact pins (16) spaced a distance from a surface of the lamp base (14) forming a gap (36). The contact pins (16) and locking bridge (18) extend through an opening (26) in the socket (24). Upon rotating the lamp base (14) relative to the socket (24), locking lands (30) extend under the arms (32) of the locking bridge (18) in the gap (36) preventing unintentional axial separation between the lamp base (14) and the socket (24). In one embodiment, a key notch (131) is formed in one of the arms (132) of the locking bridge (118) and a mating key pin (130) is formed on the socket (124) such that the lamp base (141) can fit within the socket (124) only in a single predetermined angular orientation. The locking bridge (118) extending between the contact pins (16) additionally protects the contact pins (16) from being damaged or bent. The present invention is particularly suited to environments susceptible to vibration or movement; for example, in the treatment of wastewater with ultraviolet radiation from gas discharge lamps.

Granted: 2008-12-16
Abstract: In a method for electronic tuning of the frequency of the read oscillation to the frequency of the stimulation oscillation in a Coriolis gyro (11) according to the invention, the resonator (2) of the Coriolis gyro (1') has a disturbance force applied to it such that the stimulation oscillation remains essentially uninfluenced, with the read oscillation being changed such that a read signal which represents the read oscillation contains a corresponding disturbance component. The disturbance force is in this case defined as that force which is caused by the signal noise in the read signal. The frequency of the read oscillation is controlled such that the strength of the disturbance component which is contained in the read signal is a minimum.

Abstract: The invention provides a toroidal intersecting vane machine incorporating intersecting rotors to form primary and secondary chambers (208, 202) whose porting configurations minimize friction and maximize efficiency.  Specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a toroidal intersecting vane machine that greatly reduces the frictional losses through meshing surfaces without the need for external gearing by modifying the function of one or the other of the rotors from that of "fluid moving" to that of "valving" thereby reducing the pressure loads and associated inefficiencies at the interface of the meshing surfaces. The inventions described herein relate to these improvements.

Abstract: An expandable tissue supporting device (20) of the present invention employs ductile hinges (32) at selected points in the expandable device. When expansion forces are applied to the device as a whole, the ductile hinges concentrate expansion stresses and strains in small well devined areas. The expandable medical device including ductile hinges provides the advantages of low expansion force requirements, relatively thick walls which are radio-opaque, improved crimping properties, high crush strength, reduced elastic recoil after implantation, and control of strain to a desired level. The expandable tissue supporting device includes a plurality of elongated beams arranged in a cylindrical device and connected together by a plurality of ductile hinges. Although many ductile hinge configurations are possible, the ductile hinges preferably have a substantially constant hinge cross-sectional area which is smaller than a beam cross-sectional area such that as the device is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter, the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the beams are not plastically deformed.
