Patent EP-0485900-A3 (EP)
Title: Subscriber equipment provided with a read/write memory with at least two variable size memory fields
IPC: H04M1/65
Filed: 1991-11-08
Abstract: To an increasing extent in subscriber equipment, device combinations, usually comprising a telephone set, answering machine, facsimile machine, cordless telephone etc., are connected to the main subscriber line. As studies have shown, it should also be possible in future device combinations to convey a message from the temporarily absent subscriber to a calling subscriber. The circuit costs and other expenditure required for this purpose are essentially determined by the read/write memory used. To ensure that the user, while retaining his customary mode of operation, for example his manner and speed of speaking, can input messages for a calling subscriber in a serial read/write memory, the size of the memory areas can be varied according to the length of the messages to be stored within fixed limits predefined by the control device in such a way that the occupied physical memory areas are connected to one another in seamless fashion. Furthermore, a forward-backward counter is connected to the read/write memory and to the control device, which counts backwards during the writing operation and forwards during the reading operation, while the respective counter reading is shown on a segment or matrix display. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0525544-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for time-scale modification of signals
IPC: G10L21/04
Filed: 1992-07-17
Abstract: Method for time-scale modification ("TSM") of a signal, for example, a voice signal, wherein starting positions of blocks in an input signal, referred to as analysis windows, are varied and an output signal is reconstructed by overlapping analysis windows using fixed window offsets, i.e., the duration of overlap between analysis windows is fixed during reconstruction. This is done by searching for segments of the input signal which are similar to the previous portion of the output signal. In one embodiment of the present invention a cross-correlation is used as a similarity measure to evaluate such similarity and the cross-correlation uses a fixed, predetermined minimum number of samples. The starting position of the analysis window which results in the greatest similarity in overlapping regions is determined as the starting position which provides the largest value of cross-correlation in the overlapping regions. Several cross-correlations are evaluated by shifting the analysis window over a predetermined number of samples, removing the first shifted samples in the evaluation each time, and using the same, predetermined number of samples in the evaluation to determine the "best" starting position for an analysis window. Finally, the predetermined number of samples from the beginning of the analysis window are averaged with the predetermined number of samples from the end of the previous portion of the output signal and the remaining samples in the window are appended to the averaged segment of the previous portion of the output signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Office size instrument sterilization system
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 1992-03-11
Abstract: The body portion (A) of a small portable sterilizer has a face panel (46) against which a door (B) is selectively closed. The face panel defines an access opening for a sterilization chamber (10) which receives a cassette (C), an access opening for an anti-microbial concentrate chamber (20) which receives a powdered or other sterilant concentrate, and an outlet opening (50) from a microbe filter which filters microbes from incoming rinse water. The face plate and the door define fluid flow channels (48, 52) therebetween for selectively directing sterilant solutions and rinse solutions among the anti-microbial concentrate chamber, the sterilization chamber, and the microbial filter. The cassette is configured to ensure that it is inserted into the sterilization chamber with a unique orientation such that its fluid inlet apertures (114) and outlet apertures (124) are at preselected locations. The door includes generally U-shaped projections (116) which abut an outer surface of the cassette in the sterilization chamber partially surrounding the fluid inlet apertures. The U-shaped projections ensure that the cassette is seated in the sterilization chamber and provide a well which directs the circulating fluids into the cassette inlet apertures. A pair of gaskets (56, 86) surround the active portion of the face panel. A vacuum pump (90) selectively draws a vacuum in an annular region (88) between the gaskets, which vacuum locks the door against the face plate in a sealed, closed position. To assure a fluid tight seal, the gaskets are O-rings which are pressed by the vacuum into V-shaped grooves (82, 84). <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for inspecting a printed circuit board
Inventor: WASSERMAN HAROLD
IPC: G01N21/84
Filed: 1993-02-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for inspecting articles such as printed circuit boards doubles the transport rate for the article under inspection, and modifies the manner in which acquired video images are processed to account for this change in rate. Primarily, this involves two modifications to existing video processing systems including a change in synchronization for obtaining the frames which are to be processed, and a selective exposure (i.e., shuttering) of the video cameras to the images which are to be acquired in order to avoid the acquisition of plural images in a single frame. Once acquired, the video images are stored and processed making use of techniques which substantially correspond to those previously employed by existing inspection devices of this general type. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0629065-A3 (EP)
Inventor: GUN LEVENT
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: In a packet communications network, the addition or deletion of a
connection to the network by a user is governed by a link traffic metric
which represents the effective capacity of each link in the network which
participates in the packet connection route. A new connection (or deletion)
is represented by a compatible metric which allows updates in the link
metric by simple vector addition or subtraction. Separate link metrics for a
plurality of classes of service permit a much higher efficiency in the exploitation
of the link bandwidth than is possible with a single link metric. A
packet network using multiple link metrics and efficient metric updating
techniques provides increased packet throughput while, at the same time,
preserving all class of service guarantees.

amplified and input into a computer  (45)  as unfiltered,
amplified voltage signals. The signals are converted into
a power spectrum and selected groups of frequencies and
their amplitude are compared with acceptable amplitudes for
the frequencies generated by various rotating parts of the
machine. When at least one of the amplitudes for different
frequencies is greater than at least one of the acceptable
amplitudes for the frequencies generating different
rotating parts of the machine, the computer outputs an

Abstract: A power transmission system, particularly a hydrostatic-mechanical power transmission system for industrial and farming vehicles and the like, comprising a first train (4,5,6) of constantly meshed gears which are adapted to selectively connect, through a first pair of clutch units (15,17), the prime mover (2) (of the vehicle) to a hydrostatic pump (12) and/or to a hydrostatic motor (14); and a second train (8,9,10) of gears which are adapted to selectively connect, through a second pair of clutch units (16,18), the hydrostatic motor (14) or the pump (12) to the output shaft (11), thus providing a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) known in the art as I<2>. A mechanical transmission (19) with two or more speed ratios is provided downstream of the hydrostatic transmission (1) and, in addition to duplicating the speed interval of the hydrostatic unit several times, it allows to provide, one or more times, two purely mechanical speed ranges by alternately closing one of the first pair of clutch units (17,18) and the contiguous clutch unit (15) of the second pair (15,16) and then closing the other two. When the second clutch unit (16) of the first pair is also closed under mechanical power transmission, a hydrostatic braking condition is produced which can be modulated by adjusting the displacements of the hydrostatic pump (12) and of the hydrostatic motor (14), which are rotated simultaneously. <IMAGE>
