Patent JP-2000509224-A (JP)
IPC: H03D7/00
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: A system and method for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal in a RF bandwidth over a low bandwidth medium, e.g., in-building cabling, which has a transmission bandwidth below the RF bandwidth. The system has a unit for receiving the RF signal and a global reference oscillator for distributing a global reference tone of high stability to the entire system. Local oscillators are controlled by adjustment signals derived from this global reference tone to deliver RF reference tones of high stability required for mixing the RF signal to obtain an intermediate frequency (IF) signal which is fed through the low bandwidth medium. The global reference tone is preferably delivered through the same low bandwidth medium to desired locations, such as remote coverage sites in a network for cellular communications, cordless telephony, local RF communications, interactive multi-media video, high bit-rate local communications.

Abstract: The single power conductor carries audio and a serial data bus. The microphone's amplifier (101) is connected to the conductor (108). The incoming audio signal rides on the DC supply voltage from the radiotelephone. The supply voltage, through a voltage regulator (103), supplies power to the amplifier (102) and a microprocessor (105), used to transmit the serial data message on the conductor (108). Both the amplifier (102) and the voltage regulator (103) are isolated from the power conductor (108) by a FET switch (104) that is controlled by the microprocessor (105). The switch (104) is turned off, isolating the circuitry when the microprocessor (105) is transmitting. <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 22, 1996The invention relates to a device for obtaining, in the manufacture of a high-strength composite, an indication the reinforcement layer of the composite has been wetted throughout by the matrix material of the composite. The reinforcement layer is of the type which mainly consists of fibers or fiber bundles which do not become translucent or transparent when wetted by the matrix material, such as carbon or aramide fibers or fiber bundles. The matrix material of thermosetting plastic is applied in a liquid state in the manufacture according to, for instance, the technique of hand lay-up. The reinforcement layer includes indicating fibers which become translucent or transparent when wetted by the matrix material. A good indication is obtained if the indicating fibers have such properties that they become translucent only when the adjoining reinforcing material has been completely wetted throughout. Preferably the indicating fibres are uniformly distributed across the reinforcement layer and in an amount that does not affect the properties of the composite significantly.
