Abstract: The portable radio message receiver comprises a receiving aerial and circuit (4,5) for messages transmitted in coded format, and a central processing unit (6) for processing these messages and decoding them. A control memory (14) contains at least one number called the validity data, representing a certain sum of money. The central processing unit is arranged to progressively decrement the validity data as a function of the use of the device. This ultimately prevents further use of the message receiver when the validity data has fallen below a predetermined level. A further system may be provided for re-charging the validity data in memory, in order to give the unit a further period of operation after conclusion of the first charged period.

Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A solid catalyst containing a potassium component and
an iron oxide component, which is such that the ratio of the
pore volume of pores therein having a diameter of from 20 to
100 nm to that of pores therein having a diameter of up to 100
nm falls between 0.7/1 and 0.9/1 and which is stable to
oxygen-containing vapor, is favorably used as a
dehydrogenation catalyst in producing vinyl-aromatic
hydrocarbons from alkyl-aromatic hydrocarbons. The catalyst
has high initial activity and good initial selectivity and its
life is long. In addition, it is easy to handle. The catalyst
may be produced by reducing a potassium component-containing
iron oxide composition with hydrogen at a temperature falling
between 350 and 600°C, and then oxidizing it with an oxygen
molecules-containing vapor at a temperature falling between
250 and 500°C.

Abstract: An emergency stop switch mechanism for a robot which can take
an emergency position when an external operation force is released
and when a strong external operation force is applied. When the robot
operation is started, a main lever La is pushed down from the OFF
state with a normal external operation force. Since an elastic biasing
force S2 is sufficiently larger than S1, a second ancillary lever Lc is
pushed by a plunger PL and is turned downward together with a first
ancillary lever Lb. A movable contact element ME of a contact
mechanism section CM is moved to the ON position by the second
ancillary lever Lc, so that the ON state (motion permitting state) is
established. If emergency stop becomes necessary, the pressure of the
main lever La is released from this state, or a specially strong force is
applied to the main lever La. When the former is selected, the
movable contact element ME is returned to the OFF position. When
the latter is selected, a strong torque is applied to an axis AX2, so that
the first and second ancillary lever Lb and Lc become in a bent state.
As a result, the OFF state is established, by which the robot is stopped.

Abstract: A digital finite impulse response bandpass filter is described. Analog to digital conversion (A/D) of an input signal uses a Sigma-Delta ( SIGMA - DELTA ) converter, resulting in a digital sequence representation of the input signal. A low-pass FIR filter convolves the binary sequence to produce a low-pass vector, and a digital comb filter defined by at least one set of weighted and time-shifted unit impulses convolves the low-pass vector with the comb filter weights. An envelope detector detects a bandpass envelope of the digital FIR bandpass filter. Also described is a filter bank of a plurality of such digital FIR filters arranged in parallel. A square root of a sum of squares of the convolution products of the low-pass vector with the comb filter weights is calculated to estimate the bandpass envelope. The square root of the sum of two squares is estimated by determining the greater of the roots of the two squares and the lesser of the roots of the two squares, calculating a sum of one half the lesser of the roots of the two squares and one half a product of the greater of the roots of the two squares and the square root of three, and selecting whichever is larger between the greater of the roots of the two squares and the sum of one half the lesser of the roots of the two squares and one half the product of the greater of the roots of the two squares and the square root of three.
