Abstract: A screen is described wherein one end of the screen frame is provided with an upwardly open channel profile and the other end with a similar but downwardly open channel profile, such that the outboard edge of an upwardly open profile will fit within the channel of a downwardly open profile provided along the edge of an adjoining screen frame, to enable two such screens to be connected together and to enable linear movement in a direction generally perpendicular to the line of engagement and generally in the plane of at least one of the two screens, to be transmitted from one screen frame to the other. The engagement of one profile by another also serves to close the gap between the two screen frames and prevent at least particulate material from passing therebetween. Preferably the engagement prevents liquid from passing therebetween. The engagement may comprise a lost motion connection so as to permit one frame to be hingeable relative to the other about the connection, but still provides a reliable force-transmitting connection to enable a rear screen frame to be removed from the support structure simply by pulling out the front frame of the pair. <IMAGE>

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting system capable of annunciating lamp replacement at optimum timing based on a luminous flux maintenance ratio of an actual lamp.  <P>SOLUTION: When a determination process of a replacement alarm of the lamp is started, a light modulation control part 4 modulates the light thereof to a specific light modulation level, thereafter measures the light output of the lamp 1 by a light sensor 3, and compares light output data D1 (a light output measurement value) from the light sensor 2 with a set value previously set. In this case, the set value is one having a predetermined ratio (a predetermined luminous flux maintenance ratio) with respect to the light output of the lamp 1 immediately after the replacement controlled to the specific light modulation level, and previously manually set in the control part 4. When the light output value is less than the set value, it is determined that the lamp should be replaced, and an alarm signal S3 is outputted to an alarm output part 5 to annunciate the alarm of the lamp replacement. When the light output measurement value is above the set value, it is determined that the lamp does not need to be replaced, and light modulation control is carried out to a ballast 2.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: A transverse element for a push belt for a continuously variable transmission comprises a supporting surface (16) for supporting a carrier of the push belt, and a pulley sheave contact surface (18) for contacting pulley sheaves of the continuously variable transmission. <??>A curved transition surface (17) is connected to the supporting surface (16), whereas a distance surface (41) is located between this transition surface (17) and the pulley sheave contact surface (18). The distance surface (41) is positioned lower than the supporting surface (16). When the transverse element collides with a relatively large collision element like another transverse element, protrusions may be developed exclusively on the distance surface (41). These protrusions are not capable of inflicting damage on a carrier which is to be laid on the supporting surface (16), because these protrusions do not protrude beyond the level of the supporting surface (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mobile station (10) and wireless system (32) operates in accordance with a method that has steps of: (A) during the operation of the mobile station, determining and storing a set (24A) of performance-related data (PPCs) in the mobile station; and (B) responsive to an occurrence of a triggering event, transmitting the set or a sub-set of the PPCs to a computer (33A) for analysis. The PPCs can be stored in physical counters and registers or in memory locations that are managed to function as counters and registers. The PPCs can include a count of dropped calls, and/or an indication of a result of a mobile station self-test mode of operation. The triggering event can be a receipt by the mobile station of a message to transmit the set or sub-set of the performance-related data, or a receipt by the mobile station of an input from a user of the mobile station, or an expiration of a timer, or at least one of the PPCs being equal to a threshold value. The step of transmitting the set or a sub-set of the PPCs can include steps of receiving the transmitted PPCs at a control center (33) associated with a network service provider and/or at a (remote) diagnostic center (38); and then analyzing the data with the computer (33A) to determine an indication of an occurrence of at least one of a fault in the mobile station, a fault in a system of the network service provider, or a no fault condition. An optional step transmits the determined indication to the mobile station. The analysis may further include determining statistical information regarding a population of mobile stations. For the case where the triggering event is the reception of a wireless message, the message may be in the form of an encrypted message to transmit the set or sub-set of the performance-related data. In this case the mobile station operates to decrypt the received message using an associated public key stored in the mobile station and to transmit the set or the sub-set of the performance-related data only in response to correctly decrypting the encrypted message. <IMAGE>

Abstract: It is constituted such that a function limitation is to be applied to a communication terminal apparatus of a mobile telephone terminal or the like at a place far from wireless key by a constant distance and it is also constituted such that after the function limitation is applied once, it is made impossible for the function limitation to be released until the communication terminal.  The transmission power is controlled in response to the state by utilizing a phenomenon that the communication possible distance between the apparatuses changes according to the amount of the transmission power wireless-communicated. Specifically, with respect to the transmission power on the occasion when a connection operation is carried out between the communication terminal apparatus and the wireless key, it is constituted for the transmission power from at least one of apparatuses such that the transmission power when releasing the function limitation is made smaller than the transmission power when applying the function limitation. Further, after the function limitation is released, the transmission power is again increased to the original transmission power when applying the function limitation.

Abstract: Mechanisms are known that allow receivers to control loudness of speech in broadcast signals but these mechanisms require an estimate of speech loudness be inserted into the signal. Disclosed techniques provide improved estimates of loudness. According to one implementation, an indication of the loudness of an audio signal containing speech and other types of audio material is obtained by classifying segments of audio information as either speech or non-speech. The loudness of the speech segments is estimated and this estimate is used to derive the indication of loudness. The indication of loudness maybe used to control audio signal levels so that variations in loudness of speech between different programs is reduced. A preferred method for classifying speech segments is described.
