Abstract: A moisture sensing assembly (10), adapted for mounting on the inner surface (14) of a vehicle window or windshield (12) to control vehicle accessories such as windshield wipers (30), maximizes the window area being sensed while minimizing the size of the overall assembly. In the preferred embodiment, moisture on the outer window surface (14) is detected by stacked rows of infrared energy receiving sensors (170) spaced in angular relationship from stacked rows of infrared energy emitting diodes (39). The emitter diodes (39) and sensors (170) are preferably carried in separate emitter and detector mounting blocks (100,140) slidably fitted in a rigid carrier (52). The sensor (170) row closest to the window (12) receives energy from the diode emitter row (39) farthest from the window (12) and vice versa. Energy barrier walls (122,150) are provided in the diode and sensor support (100,140) for blocking energy reflected by the inside window surface (14). The assembly (10) is adapted for use with an electrical circuit (34) which operates one emitter diode row (39) and its corresponding sensor row (170) while the other emitter and sensor rows (39,170) are deactivated to prevent interference and false reflected signals from the other emitter row (39). Removable attachment to the window (12) with a circular member (210) provides ease of installation and improved positioning and orientation of the sensing assembly (10).

Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of workstations (10,20,30) interconnected by a network (40). Each workstation (10,20,30) has at least one server program (415,510,520,530) which processes user events input to the workstation (10,20,30) from suitable input means (210,220,230) and also controls the display (200,201,202) of the workstation (10,20,30). One or more of the workstations also contains a client program (430,600). The server program (415,510,520,530) of each workstation (10,20,30) transmits processed user events to the client program (430,600) which then processes them. The client program (430,600) may then control some (more than one) or all of the workstations (10,20,30) on the basis of user inputs to any one of the workstations (10,20,30). Thus, for example, the client program may be arranged to generate corresponding windows on the display (200,201,202) of each workstation (10,20,30), so that any of the workstations (10,20,30) may control the display (200,201,202). A priority order among users may be used to resolve conflicting instructions. In this way, a greater efficiency of use of shared resources can be achieved.   Of course the sytem may also be operated with a one-to-­one connection of a server program (415,510,520,530) and a client program (430,600).

Abstract: A two-piece transceiver housing for a mobile telephone comprises an open-topped box (1) and a separate lid (2) both made of conductive material, specifically diecast aluminium. A plurality of flat projections (9) are formed integrally on the underside of the lid (2). These projections are arranged to bear internally against the side wall (5) of the box when the lid is in place to prevent radio frequency radiation escaping from the housing without the need for a separate sealing component. The projections have a tapering curvilinear or rectilinear profile. This helps to distribute the stress and enables the projections (10) to suffer slight deflection without breaking even when they are made of cast aluminium which is relatively brittle.

Abstract: An event driven wake-up system for controlling current consumption by a microcontroller that controls a data input device used to enter data to a data processing system is provided. The wake-up system include a data input device, such as a keyboard, that is responsive to an external event, such as depression of a key on the keyboard, by providing a signal indicative of the occurrence of the external event. The microcontroller responds to the external event by generating a data character that corresponds to the signal received from the data input device and provides that data character to the CPU of the data processing system. The microcontroller includes means for sensing inactivity at the data input device and for entering the microcontroller into a reduce current consumption mode when such inactivity is sensed. Wake-up logic responds to an input signal from the data input device and/or from the data processing system when the microcontroller is in the reduced current consumption mode by providing a wake-up signal that removes the microcontroller from the reduced current consumption mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for optically detecting and evaluating scattered light which is scattered on at least one particle moving through a volume (2) to be measured, to which primary light (3) is applied, is modulated in a spatially alternating light/dark field, generating a pulse-shaped scattered- light signal on which a beat is superimposed, and which is converted into a correspondingly modulated pulse-shaped electrical measurement signal for the purpose of evaluation in a photo receiver (9). To simplify and improve the generation and evaluation of the modulated scattered-light signal of moving particles, it is proposed according to the invention that the volume to be measured (2) is essentially uniformly illuminated with the primary light (3) and is optically imaged on an optical element (7) arranged outside the volume to be measured and having spatially alternating light transparency or reflection capability, and that the scattered light emanating from the volume (2) to be measured is modulated at the external optical element (7), generating the scattered-light signal, and is supplied in this form to the photo receiver (9). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A spread spectrum communication system for direct sequence transmission of digital information having a modulation format which is particularly suitable for indoor communication within residential, office and industrial structures. The modulation format combines BPSK or MSK spreading with FM carrier modulation by data bits and a carrier frequency shift whose magnitude is related to both a chip rate and a spreading sequence length. The carrier, chip clock and data clock are all synchronous and the sequence length is an integral submultiple of the bit length. The system reduces the frequency error between the transmitter chip clock and the receiver chip clock to permit the elimination of a code phase tracking loop in the receiver to reduce the receiver complexity. The receiver has an extended dynamic range which makes possible the reception of very strong signal without an automatic gain control loop (AGC) as well as reducing the time needed for code phase acquisition. The transmission system is highly resistant to CW jamming and short distance multipath effects.

Abstract: A first clock signal of f1 in frequency is converted into a second clock signal having a frequency of f2 =            n       m              f1. The first clock signal is converted by a tank circuit (12) and a converter (13) into an R-bit first phase signal (ϑ1) indicating the phase of the first clock signal. The first phase signal is multiplied by n (mod 2 R ) by a multiplier into a second phase signal (ϑ3). The second phase signal is supplied to a digital phase-locked loop (PIL) (3) consisting of a subtractor (15), a low-pass filter (LPF) (16), a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) (17) and a multiplier (18). The multiplier in the digital PIL (3) multiplies by m (mod 2 R ) a third phase signal, indicating the phase of a second clock signal which is the output of the NCO (17), to generate a fourth phase signal. The subtractor (15) generates a signal representing the phase error between the second and fourth phase signals. This phase error signal is filtered by the LPF (16) to control the oscillating phase of the NCO (17). A clock generating circuit generates, on the basic of the third phase, signal, the second clock signal.
