Abstract: A signal processing apparatus (1) comprises an analogue RF receiver (2) which has a local oscillator (7). The analogue receiver (2) receives in use a first electrical signal from antenna (4) at a carrier frequency, which signal is modulated by a digitised modulating signal to provide a second electrical signal having an amplitude representing an instantaneous logic level of the digitised modulating signal. The apparatus further comprises a digital processor (13) for processing the second electrical signal and providing an output signal in response thereto. The digital processor is controlled in use by clock signals provided in response to actuation of a local oscillator of the analogue receiver.

Abstract: A vehicle transmission control system in which a central control unit (36) issues signals to an associated main drive clutch actuator (22,38) and to ratio actuating means (25) to effect changes in the operative ratio of an associated transmission (12) in accordance with a predetermined shift point map. When the shift point map indicates that the ratio shift is appropriate, the system tests for fluctuations in the position of an associated engine accelerator pedal (19) and only actions the shift if the degree of fluctuation of the accelerator pedal position is judged acceptable. The acceptable level of accelerator pedal fluctuation preferably varies with engine speed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical amplifier capable of adjusting the gain curve to a desired shape. This invention also relates to a fiber light source capable of producing desired output spectrum. The method to use passive wavelength filters for the gain flattening of erbium doped fiber optical amplifier is well known. However, the disadvantage with this method is that the gain curve varies depending on input optical signal power, gain level or changes in surrounding temperature. However, the optical amplifier of the present invention provides desired shapes of gain curves at various gain levels in spite of the reconfiguration of optical communication networks or the changes in driving conditions since the amplifier includes an active wavelength tunable filter and a gain detection system. The fiber light source of the present invention operates without external input light, producing spectrum-sliced output light from amplified spontaneous emission.
