Patent EP-1104045-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WU JUI-YU
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2000-11-23
Abstract: An electromechanical high load separation device for providing a reliable means
of separation for high-load, mission-critical applications, e.g., deployment of solar panels
and high-gain antennas on a satellite. The load separation device provides a structural
support for a bolted joint that can be remotely scparated by transmitting an electrical
signal without the use of explosive initiators. When a separation or deployment is
desired, a power supply is remotely triggered to transmit an electrical signal to the
separation device. This signal will energize both or either one of the two spools, which
would cause them to separate. This in turn allows spring-loaded plungers to drive
through the spools, resulting in mechanical actuation. The actuation will physically
release a threaded rod and its attachment, completing its function.

Title: Disk drive apparatus and motor thereof
Inventor: GOTOU MAKOTO
IPC: G11B19/20
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: A disk drive apparatus reproduces an signal from
a disk and/or records an signal on the disk. First and second
power amplifying parts form current paths to three-phase
windings so as to rotate the disk. A position detecting
part produces a position signal in response to a rotation
of a rotor. An activation operation block includes a time
measuring part, a first timing part, a second timing part
and a signal producing part, and controls active periods
of the first and second power amplifying parts in response
to the position signal. The time measuring part measures
a time interval T0 which responds with the position signal.
The first timing part changes the state of a first state
signal at an interval of a first adjust time T1 (proportional
to T0 and less than T0/2). The second timing part changes
the state of a second state signal at an interval of a second
adjust time T2 (proportional to T0 and less than T1/2).
The signal producing part produces a slope signal which
responds with the second state signal and then produces
first and second activation control signals which responds
with the slope signal and the first state signal. The
activation operation block controls the first and second
power amplifying parts responding with the first and second
activation control signals. Therefore, an excellent disk
drive apparatus with reduced acoustic noise and reduced 
vibration can be realized by using only one position signal
of one position sensor.

IPC: H04L69/40

Abstract: Upon detection of a trigger, such as the exceeding of an error threshold or the direction of a user, a diagnostic link system enters a diagnostic information transmission mode. This diagnostic information transmission mode allows for two modems to exchange diagnostic and/or test information that may not otherwise be exchangeable during normal communication. The diagnostic information transmission mode is initiated by transmitting an initiate diagnostic link mode message to a receiving modem accompanied by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The receiving modem determines, based on the CRC, if a robust communications channel is present. If a robust communications channel is present, the two modems can initiate exchange of the diagnostic and/or test information. Otherwise, the transmission power of the transmitting modem is increased and the initiate diagnostic link mode message re-transmitted to the receiving modem until the CRC is determined to be correct.

Le condensateur se décharge dans la borne d'alimentation pour fournir du courant additionnel en réponse à la demande supplémentaire de courant. Après chaque variation d'état le condensateur est déconnecté de la borne et chargé à un niveau suffisant pour satisfaire à la demande anticipée de courant de la prochaine variation d'état du dispositif.
