IPC: H04W36/32
Filed: 2001-11-19
Abstract: A transceiver station and method for use in a cellular radio communication
system providing communication between a mobile station and a serving one of
a plurality of base transceiver stations each defining a cell of the system are
described. The transceiver station is operable to make measurements and
calculations relating to candidates of the base transceiver stations to select
which of the candidates should be the serving base transceiver station. The
transceiver station is characterised in that it is operable to calculate for each of
the candidate base transceiver stations a direction of movement of the mobile
station relative to the base transceiver station and to select the serving base
station using information comprising the direction calculations. The transceiver
station may be operable to calculate from the direction information the length of
time it will be in each cell and to select a serving base transceiver station
accordingly. The transceiver station which carries out the calculations may be
the mobile station itself, although it may alternatively be a fixed transceiver of
the system, e.g. a system controller.

Abstract: A method for determining stiffness of a composite laminate plate (10)
entails disposing a device (18) for generating an acoustical pulse against a surface of the
plate and disposing a detecting device (20) against the same surface spaced a known
distance (d) from the pulse-generating device, and using the pulse-generating device to
emit a pulse so as to create an extensional wave in the plate. The detecting device is
used to determine a time of flight of the wave over the known distance, and the wave
velocity is calculated. A Young's modulus of the plate is determined based on the
wave velocity. Methods for both anisotropic and quasi-isotropic laminates are
disclosed.

Abstract: A data processing device has a memory with writeable and erasable locations, such as a flash memory. The memory locations are store WOM codewords (Write Once Memory codewords in which successive generations of data can be encoded by setting bits from zero to one only). A data encoder encodes a received data value in a new codeword from the WOM code, as a function of the received data value and a previous codeword stored in the currently selected location. When the WOM codeword is exhausted the data encoder selects a new currently selected location from a logical series of locations and stores the new codeword in the new currently selected location. When all locations are exhausted a reset circuit resets a content of the locations in the logical series. On reading the currently selected location is read and decoded.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes permettant de contrôler, de façon non invasive, des caractéristiques physiologiques du sang d'un patient. Pour déterminer la concentration des constituants sanguins, il suffit de comparer l'absorbance du rayonnement avec différents paramètres, tels que la longueur du trajet optique et la pression sanguine. Pour faire varier la pression, il suffit de modifier la hauteur des sondes par rapport au coeur du patient. Pour déterminer le pH sanguin, il suffit de comparer l'absorbance du sang avec différentes longueurs d'ondes. Ces méthodes permettent également de déterminer avec précision la température du sang et, par conséquent, la température centrale du patient. Les méthodes de l'invention permettent également de déterminer, de façon non invasive, des caractéristiques du débit cardiaque et de la pression sanguine.

Abstract: A signal of a whole audio frequency band is input to
input lines CHL and CHR having band-split digital band
pass filters BFL1 to BFLn and BFR1 to BFRn, attenuators
ATL1 to ATLn and ATR1 to ATRn, delay elements ZL1 to ZLn
and ZR1 to ZRn, and adders 21 to 24, thereby causing
speakers 25 and 26 to generate sounds. The reproduced
sounds are picked up by microphones 27 and 28 placed at
listening positions. The obtained pick-up signals PR and
PL are passed through band-split digital band pass filters
BFL1' to BFLn' and BFR1' to BFRn' which are set to the
same bands as those of the band-split digital band pass
filters BFL1 to BFRn, to generate test data DL1(t) to
DLn(t) and DR1(t) to DRn(t). On a basis of the test data,
an interaural correlation coefficient ρRL is calculated.
Attenuation factors of the attenuators, and delay times of
the delay elements are adjusted so as to approximate the
interaural correlation coefficient ρRL to a target
interaural correlation coefficient ρRL' which is
previously acquired on a basis of a transfer function of a
target reproduced sound field.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un assemblage amovible pour des disjoncteurs en boîtier moulé. En général, un système de disjoncteur à enfichage direct comporte une base d'enfichage à laquelle le mécanisme amovible est fixé. La base présente une plaque droite et une plaque gauche. Un disjoncteur peut se déplacer entre cette plaque droite et cette plaque gauche. De plus, le disjoncteur est connecté de manière à pouvoir être rétracté à la base d'enfichage par l'action du mécanisme amovible. Le mécanisme amovible de la présente invention comprend un arbre connectant la plaque droite à la plaque gauche qui apporte une certaine rigidité au système et permet d'équilibrer le disjoncteur au cours de son déplacement. Lorsqu'une vis de réglage du zéro est insérée dans le mécanisme amovible, puis employée en vue de faire tourner une vis de commande connectée dans ce mécanisme, on empêche ainsi un coulisseau placé près de la vis de commande de tourner, celui-ci étant pris en tenailles entre les deux plaques. En conséquence, le mouvement est transformé en déplacement linéaire et sera ensuite utilisé afin de déplacer le disjoncteur en position d'enclenchement et de désenclenchement avec la base d'enfichage.

Abstract: A pressure exchanger for simultaneously reducing the pressure of a high pressure liquid and pressurizing a low pressure liquid. The pressure exchanger has a housing having a body portion; with end elements at opposite ends of the body portion. A rotor is in the body portion of the housing and in substantially sealing contact with the end plates. The rotor has at least one channel extending substantially longitudinally from one end of the rotor to the opposite end of the rotor with an opening at each end. The channels of the rotor are positioned in the rotor for alternate hydraulic communication with 1) high pressure liquid and 2) low pressure liquid, in order to transfer pressure between the high pressure liquid and the low pressure liquid. Because of the high pressures and the high angular velocities, this is a highly cavitation prone structure, In order to prevent cavitation, there are one or more grooves in one or both of the end plates. These grooves bleed pressure out of the channels, for example to a lower pressure channel or to a sealing volume between the end piece and the rotor.
