Patent EP-0670649-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GRECCO JOSEPH
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1995-02-06
Abstract: A Group Exchange Port (GXP) is disclosed which provides an organized technique for passing control of live objects (e.g.; a telephone call, a robotic arm, flying aircraft, etc.) from a first application operating on and processing the object to a second such application. In accordance with the invention, a Group Exchange Port is provided where buyer applications register there willingness to accept control of the system and sellers may "advertise" an object for sale. When a suitable buyer (i.e.; one that has the proper resources for servicing and controlling the active system) is found, control of the object is passed from the seller to the buyer. Importantly, the GXP requires that control of the object always be maintained by one and only one application, that control not be passed to an application which cannot properly service and/or control the system, and that an application presently controlling the system does not relinquish such control until a new application accepts such control. The technique allows loosely coupled applications to work with the same object.

Abstract: An inkjet print cartridge (10) comprises a substrate (28) having a plurality of ink firing chambers (130) along a top surface of said substrate and a first outer edge (86) in close proximity to the ink firing chambers. The ink firing chambers are arranged in first and second arrays and with the firing chambers spaced so as to provide 600 dots per inch printing. An ink channel connects an ink reservoir with the chambers, and include a primary channel (52) connected to the reservoir and to a secondary channel. The primary channel (52) allows ink to flow from the reservoir, around the first outer edge to the secondary channel so as to be proximate to the ink firing chambers. A separate inlet passage (132) for each chamber connects the secondary channel with the chamber for allowing high frequency refill. A group of firing chambers in adjacent relationship forms a primitive (P1-P14) in which only one chamber is activated at a time. A circuit (78) on the substrate connects to the firing elements, while a second circuit (36) on the cartridge connects to the first circuit means, for transmitting firing signals to ink firing elements at a frequency greater than 9 kHz.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des virus d'insectes capables de tuer au moins un insecte nuisible cible plus rapidement que les virus précédemment connus. L'invention concerne également la séquence ADN responsable de ce phénotype d'accélération létale. On obtient une meilleure vitesse létale lorsque le virus de la présente invention contient également un gène egt non fonctionnel permettant de réduire le phénomène d'alimentation de la larve infectée, de bloquer sa croissance et de faciliter l'accélération létale de l'insecte infecté. Un virus d'insecte à accélération létale choisi comme exemple spécifique est le brin V-8 du AcMNPV. Le phénotype d'accélération est situé sur un fragment MluI à EspI des unités 1.93 à 3.27 de la carte du génome du AcMNPV, et sa séquence est fournie ici avec le SEQ ID NO:.... V8vEGTDEL est le dérivé inactivé par egt du V8 du AcMNPV; la combinaison de l'accroissement de la virulence du génotype du V-8, par exemple, avec l'inactivation du gène codant l'ecdystéroïde glycosyle transférase procure d'autres améliorations (telles qu'une meilleure diminution du délai létal après infection). En outre, un tel baculovirus à déficience Egt peut encore être modifié pour exprimer une protéine affectant l'ecdysis. L'invention concerne également des procédés de production de virus d'infection à accélération létale, des compositions insecticides améliorées et des procédés améliorés de lutte contre les insectes.

Abstract: In a system and method that overcomes the deficiencies of prior television/multimedia system integrity monitoring schemes a remote field component (109) receives a test signal from a given source (105) via a particular signal path (112), and, in response, provides feedback indicative of the received test signal to the source via a standard voiceband telephone connection (110,111). This enables the invention to facilitate simple, economical real-time testing/monitoring of television/multimedia distribution systems. The invention is particularly suited to television/multimedia systems that employ terrestrial cables (112) as a means to distribute signals to end-users or remote nodes (108), but can also be applied to wireless signal distribution systems.

Abstract: A continuously variable V-belt transmission (1) includes a lateral pressure control valve (40) for controlling the lateral pressures of a drive pulley (5) and a driven pulley (8), and a controller (60) for controlling the lateral pressure control valve. The controller (60) calculates a target belt transmission torque (T BLT ) by adding a predetermined marginal torque (T K ) to a transmission torque (T IN ) calculated based on a signal detected from a driving condition of a vehicle, and obtains, by means of a signal converter, a control signal for controlling the lateral pressure control valve. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to prevent slippage between the belt and pulleys and to produce a most appropriate clamping force even when the lateral pressure control oil pressure is varied due to secular and environmental changes in the pulley lateral pressure control valve, whereby the transmission is rendered durable, efficient in fuel consumption and highly reliable.

Abstract: A digital receiver uses a local oscillator to down-convert an orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexed signal that has been modulated by differential
phase-shift keying, and performs further processing to obtain a differentially
demodulated array of phase values. According to a first aspect of the
invention, the digital receiver detects a carrier offset, applies a corresponding
phase correction to the values in the array, then shifts the entire array by an
amount corresponding to the carrier offset. As a result, the local oscillator
need be tuned only in a frequency range equal to the subcarrier spacing.
According to a second aspect of the invention, the local oscillator is tuned
within a range equal to the subcarrier spacing multiplied by a certain integer,
the array is shifted by a multiple of this integer, and the phase correction is
eliminated.

Abstract: In an infrared data-receiving circuit wherein an output
electric current of a photodiode is current-to-voltage
converted by a preamplifier and, after having been amplified
by an amplification circuit, is subjected to a waveform-shaping
operation in a comparator by using a predetermined
threshold value, the threshold voltage, upon receipt of a
low signal voltage, is set at the average value Vav that has
been formed by two LPFs and, upon receipt of a high signal
voltage, is also set at a shift value that has been obtained
by allowing the voltage, which has been generated by
shifting of a level shift circuit, to be sampled by a peak-hold
circuit constituted of a differential amplifier. Thus,
the apparatus is allowed to deal with a wide dynamic range.
Moreover, in this arrangement, a single capacitor may be
commonly used for an integrating operation in the LPFs and
for a holding operation in the peak-hold circuit so as to
provide a simple construction that is preferably applied to
an integrated circuit. Consequently, in the infrared data-receiving
circuit that uses the output from the photodiode
by subjecting it to the waveform-shaping operation, it
becomes possible to deal with a wide range of level
differences by using a simple construction.

Abstract: A heartrate monitor of the invention includes a
signal receiver adapted for being coupled to at least one
sensor coupled to a medical patient, for providing an ECG
signal and a pacemaker detection signal. A pacemaker
activity checker, responsive to the pacemaker detection
signal and the ECG signal provides first and second

occurrence of a QRS complex in the vicinity of the
pacemaker detection signal, and the second output signal
indicating the occurrence of an overshoot in the vicinity
of the pacemaker detection signal. An overshoot
validator, responsive to the ECG signals and the second
output signal indicates the validity of the indicated
overshoot. A QRS detector, responsive to the ECG
signal, indicates the occurrence of a QRS complex in the
ECG signal. A logic combining means, responsive to at
least the first output signal, the output of the
overshoot validator and the output of the QRS detector,
determines a combined QRS detection signal, that
accurately indicates the occurance of QRS's. A heartrate
determining means responsive to the combined QRS
detection signal provides an accurate indication of the
heartrate for the medical patient.
