Patent EP-1418755-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIS BRUCE
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: An electronic program schedule system which includes a receiver for receiving
broadcast, satellite or cablecast television programs for a plurality of television
channels and a tuner for tuning a television receiver to a selected one of the
plurality of channels. A data processor receives and stores in a memory
television program schedule information for a plurality of television programs
to appear on the plurality of television channels. A user control apparatus, such
as a remote controller, is utilized by a viewer to choose user control commands
and transmit signals in response to the data processor which receives the
signals in response to user control commands. A television receiver is used to
display the television programs and television program schedule information. A
video display generator receives video control commands from the data
processor and program schedule information from the memory and displays a
pop-up hint in overlaying relationship with the program schedule information
in at least one mode of operation of the television programming guide. The data
processor controls the video display generator with video control commands,
issued in response to the user control commands, or in response to a
predetermined period of user inactivity to display pop-up hints for the user's
current position in the guide in overlaying relationship with the program
schedule information.

Abstract: The routing method between networks has a radio network with routers and a designated router, each router carrying a digital word base. At the network radio level, each router transmits a request to the designated router. The router responds sending the contents of the digital word base to all or the majority of routers. When the router receives the message a Hello message is sent to search for neighbors. The router then transmits to all the other routers the digital word base contents, synchronizing with the neighbors.

Abstract: The sinusoidal frequency generator comprises a voltage controlled oscillator circuit. The oscillating circuit is a gyrator (114) formed from two trans-conductance amplifiers (201,202) whose bias points are fixed by the control voltage (Vfilt) in order to regulate the oscillation frequency.  The sinusoidal frequency generator comprises an oscillator circuit controlled by a control voltage (Vfilt). A digital synthesiser circuit (100) generates a variable frequency signal. A phase comparator (111) comprising first and second inputs receives the output signal of the digital synthesiser and a return signal. A load pumping circuit (112) receives the output signal of the phase comparator and generates the control voltage (Vfilt). The oscillating circuit is a gyrator (114) formed from two trans-conductance amplifiers (201,202) whose bias points are fixed by the control voltage (Vfilt) in order to regulate the oscillation frequency. The gyrator may easily be integrated within a phase control loop in order to create a converter changing a square signal into a sinusoidal frequency.

Abstract: New cross-laminates are formed of films of which at least two are uniaxially or unbalanced biaxially oriented, in which the main direction of orientation in one of these films crosses the main direction of orientation in the other one, having modifications, made in a suitable pattern, of the surface properties of the two films on the surfaces which are inside the laminate and are bonded to each other. The internally arranged surface layers of the films comprise an array of strands (101, 102) of coextruded material and the films are arranged so that the arrays of the two films cross one another. The strands may be used to control adhesion between the films and reduce the tendency to delaminate on repeated flexing, making a laminate suitable for use as a tarpaulin. Alternatively, especially in combination with provision of embossment of at least one of the films whose main layer is transparent to form striations (103), colored strands may confer interesting visual effects on the laminate viewed from the side of that film which may make the laminate appear thicker than it actually is.
