Patent EP-1339174-A2 (EP)
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: The present invention claims a multiple access spread-spectrum
communication system for dynamically changing a transmission rate of an
information signal received from a remote processing unit (RPU) over a
telecommunication line and transmitted to a subscriber through a first spread-spectrum
message channel of a plurality of spread spectrum message channels,
the system comprising
   a) a base station, connected to the RPU, which identifies an information signal
rate of the respective information signal and provides a modify signal
responsive to the information signal rate; comprising:
   a system channel controller which assigns the information signal and the
modify signal to respectively different ones of the plurality of spread-spectrum
message channels;   first information channel mode modification means connected to the system
channel controller and responsive to the modify signal for switching the
respective information signal from the first spread-spectrum message channel
supporting a first information channel rate to one other pre-determined spread-spectrum
message channel, the one other pre-determined spread-spectrum
message channel having a different information channel rate supporting the
identified information signal rate; and     b) a subscriber unit comprising:
   a first despreading means for recovering the respective information signal and
modify signal from the first spread spectrum message channel;   second information channel mode modification means responsive to the
modify signal for reassigning the first despreading means to a second
despreading means which supports the different information channel rate, the
second despreading means corresponding to the second spread spectrum
message channel.

Title: Authentication and authorization infrastructure system with notification function for issuance of certificate revocation list
Inventor: KAJI TADASHI
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2003-06-10
Abstract: If a CRL is cached for an increased speed of a
certificate validation process, when a certification
authority issues a CRL in an urgent situation, the accuracy
of the certificate validation result cannot be secured
because the cached CRL is not the latest one. This problem
is solved as follows. When it issues a CRL, the
certification authority sends a CRL issuance notification to
certificate validation servers. The certificate validation
servers that received the CRL issuance notification cache
the latest CRL. Thus, the accuracy of the certificate
validation result can be secured.

Abstract: An amplifier which is suitable for use as a radio frequency low noise amplifier
comprises first, second and third transconductance stages (1, 2, 3). The amplifier input
is connected to the inputs of the first and third stages (1, 3), whose outputs are
connected together in anti-phase so as to provide feedforward error correction. The
second stage (2) has inputs connected to the outputs of the first stage (1) and outputs
connected across a resistor (6) to current feedback inputs of the first stage (1) so as to
provide negative feedback. The first and third stages (1, 3) provide feedforward
distortion cancelling so as to improve the linearity of the amplifier. The negative
feedback provided by the second stage (2) further improves the linearity without
substantially increasing the noise figure of the amplifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement to reduce motion blur of images shown in non-stroboscopic display devices, in particular Liquid Crystal Display Panels (LCDs), Thin Film Transistor Displays (TFTs), Colour Sequential Displays, Plasma Display Panels (PDPs), Digital Micro Mirror Devices or Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays, in which motion vectors depending on moving components in each image of an input video signal are calculated, in which anti-motion blur filtering of the input video signal is performed based on the calculated motion vectors to produce an output video signal, and in which images are generated on said display device depending on said output video signal. In order to provide an improved spatial filtering with less noise enhancement and less noise modulation, it is proposed that edge characteristics in each image of the input video signal are determined and that anti-motion blur filtering is further based on said determined edge characteristics. In this way, spatial filtering is concentrated on significant parts of an image only, and both noise enhancement and noise modulation are reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a variable displacement
compressor has an information detector and a controller. The
information detector detects information about the thermal
load on the refrigeration circuit. The controller determines
a target value that reflects the displacement of the
compressor based on the information about the thermal load
detected by the information detector, and outputs the target
value as a command value. When determining that the
compressor is in a heavy load state based on information
about a load on the compressor, the controller changes the
command value to a value that causes the displacement of the
compressor to become smaller than a displacement that
corresponds to the determined target value.
