Patent EP-0446667-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUMBS ALFRED DR
IPC: G01K7/18
Filed: 1991-02-20
Abstract: A temperature sensor (40) has in a measuring window (20) electrically conductive interconnects (21), which are applied in a meandering fashion using thin-film technology to an electrically insulating substrate (32) having a low radiation absorption, and whose end points (16, 17) are connected to a measuring element circuit. When projected on to the plane of the substrate (32), the covering ratio of the total surface of the interconnects (21) to the surface of the measuring window (20) is less than 20 per cent, so that the interconnects (21) can release absorbed radiation without interference with other interconnects (21). Either the area ratio of the sum of the surfaces of the measuring window (20) and of the substrate (32) surrounding the measuring window (20) to the edge surface (23) surrounding the substrate in the measuring window region (22) is greater than 4 to 1, or the substrate (32) is essentially etched away (36) under the interconnects (21) in the measuring window (20). The cross-sectional surface of the reversing loops (34), resting on the substrate (32), of the interconnects (21) is then larger than the cross-sectional surface of the interconnects (21), so that a resistive effect on the interconnects (21) due to the temperature of the substrate (32) is effectively prevented. This temperature sensor (40) can be used to measure temperatures in the range between -70 DEG  and +50 DEG Celsius under normal pressure up to a pressure of a few millibars and under direct insolation with a radiation error of less than 0.2 DEG Celsius. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A control apparatus for an electric rolling stock makes it possible to use a single associated train in a variety of transit services including an express transit service to an accommodation train service. The apparatus comprises an induction motor (4) controlled by an inverter (3). For an express transit operation (over a long inter-station distance), the ratio of output voltage and the frequency of the inverter is decreased to thereby increase a command current in a variable voltage/variable frequency region. For the accommodation train operation (over short inter-station distance), a control pattern reverse to the above is adopted. The electric rolling stock can adapt itself to the running conditions. Besides, problem of over-heating of the induction motor (4) can be solved successfully.

Abstract: The semiconductor memory device according to the present invention have a memory cell array consisting of a plurality of memory cells provided in array form and a plurality of bit lines and word lines connected respectively to the plurality of memory cells, an I/O lines consisting of a first wiring and a second wiring connected to a predetermined number of bit lines out of the plurality of the bit lines via a selection circuit, and a clamping circuit which is activated at the time of read and includes first means that connects the first wiring and the second wiring when the potential of the first wiring exceeds the potential of the second wiring by more than a predetermined voltage value, and second means that connects the first wiring and the second wiring when the potential of the second wiring exceeds the potential of the first wiring by more than the predetermined voltage value. 
     With the construction as described above, even when a potential drop is generated in the I/O lines during the transition period, a marked drop in the potential of one of the wirings can be prevented by the clamping operation between the two wirings that constitute the I/O lines. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the destruction of data in the memory cells, and to enhance the reading speed of the next data because of the small value of the potential drop of the wiring.

Abstract: A television receiver has a switched mode power supply (TP29, LP36) for regulating output voltages including the B+ output to a flyback transformer (FBT), by generation of output pulses to a power transformer (LP36). A controller (20) for the power supply is coupled in two feedback loops, one responsive to a pulse width modulator (92) coupled to the flyback transformer and the other comparing the output voltage with an internal reference (in 34) for free running operation. The first feedback loop takes precedence and is active in the run mode of the television receiver. In the standby mode when horizontal rate pulses are absent, the second feedback loop takes over. The second feedback loop has a different reference level than the first, such that when switching from the run mode to the standby mode a transition interval occurs in which no pulses are output by the controller, thereby causing the B+ voltage to the flyback transformer to fall. During this transition interval, horizontal scanning signals continue at falling amplitude, and a signal is input to the kinescope drivers (84), thereby collapsing the picture and draining the ultor voltage on the screen anode (C sc ). The reoccurrence of controller pulses when the output voltage of the power transformer (LP36) has fallen to the new lower reference level is used to positively switch operation of the receiver at the conclusion of the transition interval.

Abstract: A data center provides a rate table to a user. The rate table is communicated to the mailer along with a hash code. The hash code is based on information from the rating table. The hash code provides a unique number based on the rating table provided. The algorithm within a secure device and to which the rate table is loaded regenerates the hash code based on the information received from the rate table and compares the transmitted hash code with the generated hash code. A comparison is made of the received hash code and the generated hash code to verify that the rate table data has not been intentionally or unintentionally corrupted. The transmitted hash code may be encrypted by the data center and when received decrypted by the mailer. The encryption decryption process establishes authenticity of the data center if desired. 
     The generation of a hash code based on the stored rate table and a comparison with a stored hash code previously transmitted can be initiated prior to postage printing and used to insure proper rating. Printing is enabled only after the rating process has been properly implemented. The hash code and rating information may be printed on the mail piece such that a verifying party can reconstruct the rating process and determine if rating inaccuracy occurred. Various rating inaccuracy for a particular user can be stored by the verifying party to detect a recurrence of rating errors. Rating profiles for particular users or group of users may be stored to enable generation of user profiles.

Abstract: The user interface in an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is is dynamically controlled, based upon the level of confidence in the results of the ASR process. In one embodiment, the system is arranged to distinguish error prone ASR interpretations from those likely to be correct, using a degree of confidence in the output of the ASR system determined as a function of the difference between the confidence in the "first choice" selected by the ASR system and the confidence in the "second choice" selected by the ASR system. In this embodiment, the user interface is arranged so that the explicit verification steps taken by the system as a result of uncertain information is different from the action taken when the confidence is high. In addition, different treatment can be provided based upon the "consequences" of misinterpretation as well as the historical performance of the system with respect to the specific user whose speech is being processed. In another embodiment, after an ASR system interprets an utterance, the confidence in the interpretation is assessed, and three different interactions with the user may then occur.
