Patent EP-1033783-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOCHWALD BERTRAND M
IPC: H01Q21/22
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: We disclose a system for sending wireless communication signals on at least
one downlink wavelength and receiving wireless communication signals on at least
one uplink wavelength, wherein there is a ratio  r  equal to the larger divided by the
smaller of these wavelengths. The system comprises a receiver operative to receive
signals imposed on a carrier having the uplink wavelength, a transmitter operative to
transmit signals imposed on a carrier having the downlink wavelength, and an array
of independent antenna elements. 
     The array comprises a first and a second sub-array. One sub-array is
electrically coupled to the transmitter, such that transmitted signals can be radiated
from it, and the other sub-array is electrically coupled to the receiver, such that
signals to be received can be extracted from it. 
     The sub-arrays are geometrically similar to each other with a relative scale
factor equal to the wavelength ratio  r . 
     The sub-arrays have at least one common antenna element.

Abstract: A directional coupler for a modem has a high common
mode noise rejection characteristic with low transmit
signal leakage, and reduced distortion of components mixed
with a received signal. A primary filter network is
connected to a communications circuit. The primary filter
network has an output connected to an input of an
amplifier. A feedback network is connected between the
input and output of the amplifier. The primary filter
network, the amplifier and the feedback network are
arranged to provide a virtual ground at the input of the
amplifier, and a filter characteristic which attenuates
frequencies in the transmit signal band. The advantage is
reduced component count while providing excellent transmit
signal rejection and reducing received signal distortion.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrical storage capacitor system (3)
that efficiently initializes itself to its initial state during
pause intervals between charging/discharging cycles of operation
without providing any special initializing cycles. The capacitor
system (3) comprises capacitors connected in series to store
electricity, a variation decision means for judging the amount
of variation in amount of charge between the capacitors, an operation
decision means for judging whether the capacitors are being charged
or discharged, and a initializing charging means for charging
the capacitors to initialize themselves to their initial state
according to the results of decisions made by the variation decision
means and by the operation decision means. The variation decision
means judges the amount of variation in the amount of charge among
the capacitors according to the output voltage from the capacitors
connected in series when any one of the capacitors is fully charged.
The operation decision means makes a decision as to whether the
capacitors are being charged or discharged with large current
and a decision as to whether the charge level is within a given
tolerable level. The initializing charging means comprises
parallel monitors for causing the charging current to bypass the
capacitors at a first set voltage and voltage detection means
for detecting a second set voltage used to judge that the
initializing charging has ended. The second set voltage is higher
than the first set voltage.

Abstract: A photoacoustic gas sensing system (16) includes either separate lasers or an
arrangement of emitters (18,20) and filters (38,40), to provide infrared energy within at least two
distinguishable frequency bandwidths, modulated at two or more associated and
different modulating frequencies. The modulated energy signals illuminate a gas cell (42)
containing a mixture of gases that experience temperature and pressure fluctuations
responsive to the radiant energy. An amplified (64) microphone signal, produced responsive
to the pressure fluctuations, is detected at the different modulation frequencies to
provide two or more detector signals in digital form. These signals are processed in
combination with predetermined constants derived by calibrating the system, to generate
two or more concentration values corresponding to the individual gases involved. The
system can utilize a photoacoustic cell with walls formed entirely of a polymer that is
both gas-permeable and transparent to the infrared radiation. If desired, a temperature
sensor (76) and a pressure sensor (79) near the cell provide respective signals (78,82) based on ambient
temperature and ambient pressure. These ambient condition signals are used to provide
concentration measurements corrected for changes in ambient temperature and pressure,
including pressure differences due to differences in elevation. Temperature and light
sensors (70) can be included to reduce temperature-dependent and time-dependent variations
in sensor calibration.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a NOx sensor for
accurately detecting the total concentration of nitrogen
oxides in a measured gas without being affected by
interference gases. The sensor comprises a gas
treatment chamber (5) arranged at the prior stage of the
gas detection chamber (3), an inorganic porous member (25)
loaded in the gas treatment chamber, and a NOx conversion
pumping cell (14,15) and/or an oxygen supplying pumping
cell which supplies oxygen into the gas treatment chamber.
When the measured gas is introduced in the gas treatment
chamber, the interference gases contained in the measured
gas are effectively oxidized by the supplied oxygen under
the assistance of the catalytic activity of inorganic
porous member. The total amount of the nitrogen oxides
is measured in the gas detection chamber while NOx in the
measured gas are converted into a single component (NO 2 
or NO) by the NOx conversion pumping cell after the
interference gases are oxidized.

Abstract: In a process to form a stitch, a sewing machine has a supply of thread (11) withdrawn over a roller (13) aided by a roller power drive. The torque applied to the roller is regulated especially in accordance with the stitching program data for each individual type of stitch. Also claimed is a sewing machine with a clutch (31) drive to the roller (13). The roller clutch is engaged by thread movement of the roller. The roller is powered by the needle plunger drive shaft (41), moving the swivel lever (43) and rod (42) synchronised with the needle action. When thread is static the clutch ensures that torque can only be applied in one direction via the gear (39,40) to the roller (13). Because the same time lapse for each cycle is always the same irrespective of the stitch length, the roller turns at higher speeds for longer stitches than shorter. The clutch is regulated in accordance with the type of stitch required and maintains the thread tension irrespective of the stitch length.
