Patent GB-978751-A (GB)
Abstract: 978,751. Pulse modulation systems; transponder apparatus. INSTITUT FRANCAIS DU PETROLE DES CARBURANTS ET LUBRIFIANTS. Jan. 20, 1961 [Jan. 20, 1960], No. 2461/61. Drawings to Specification. Heading H4L. In a multiplex pulse communication system a central station transmits repetitive cycles of spaced interrogating pulses by radio to a plurality of spaced substations, e.g. seismic prospecting stations, which each send back position-modulated pulses using the interrogating pulse as a reference. Each substation is allotted a particular combination in a matrix arrangement so that signals are sent back in time division multiplex on a common carrier frequency. An extra pulse between positions 1 and 2 of the cycle is sent from the central station for synchronizing and other positions are used for supervisory purposes. The matrix at the central station comprises two counter chains operated by pulse frequency dividers, similar arrangements being used at the substations, Fig. 1 (not shown). The pulse position modulator at the substations is of the type in which a sawtooth wave and the signal to be transmitted are supplied to a comparator circuit which supplies an output pulse when the two signals are of equal amplitude, Fig. 13 (not shown). The resulting position modulated pulse resets a bi-stable device at the interrogator-receiver which had been set by the interrogating pulse appropriate to the particular substation thus producing a duration modulated pulse which is supplied to a utilization circuit via a low pass filter. Adjustable delays may be included in the matrix connections for each substation at the central station in order to compensate for the transmission time of the interrogating signal for " go " and " return." Similar compensating delays may be included at the spaced substations to compensate for the different distances from the central station. The interrogating pulses may be lengthened at the central station for supervisory purposes by means of a monostable multivibrator, Fig. 15 (not shown) the lengthened pulses being selected at the substation receiver as by comparison with a sawtooth wave of predetermined duration. When a substation receiver is synchronized correctly the additional synchronizing pulse is blocked by a gate circuit controlled by position 1 of the matrix circuit at the substation, but on loss of synchronization the additional pulse causes cycling until the correct position is reached.

Title: Logic analysis subsystem in a time-sliced emulator
Inventor: SARNO TONY R
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A logic analysis subsystem in a time-sliced emulator. The logic analysis subsystem "reconstructs" signals that were previously reduced by the compiler and allows the user to set breakpoints and triggers using these and other signals of the emulated circuit. The present invention includes a "logic analysis subsystem compiler" and "logic analysis subsystem hardware." The logic analysis subsystem compiler is either a subpart of the regular emulator compiler or is a standalone compiler. It compiles the design to be emulated and generates control instructions for the logic analysis subsystem hardware. The logic analysis subsystem hardware is incorporated into the time-sliced emulator to receive signals generated by the emulator during emulation. When the logic analysis subsystem operates, the control instructions cause the logic analysis subsystem to reconstruct previously reduced signals received from the emulator. These signals (along with the signals received from the emulator) may be used by the user to set breakpoints and triggers in the logic analysis subsystem.

Title: Telephone set having automatic incoming call acknowledgement detection and automatic call reorigination section
Inventor: OGAWA NOBUYUKI
IPC: H04M1/2749
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: Telephone sets connected together over a radio channel are enabled to allow a telephone set of a calling party to readily identify whether or not a call acknowledgment from a receiving party has been detected. After a call has been originated by way of a keyboard 22 of a radio telephone set, a call acknowledgment signal detection section 17c monitors a call acknowledgment signal transmitted from the calling party by way of a base station 30. When the call acknowledgment sound signal is output from an audio output section 21. Further, a specific screen color is displayed on a display section 20. If no call acknowledgment signal from the receiving party is detected and the call acknowledgment detection section 17c determines that no call acknowledgment from the receiving party has been detected, a call is automatically re-originated by means of an automatic call originating function, thereby enabling easy identification of a call acknowledgment. Further, since the call is automatically re-originated if no call acknowledgment from the receiving party is detected, the operations required by the calling party are simplified.

Title: Changeover reluctance generator device
Inventor: AASAA BAAWAAKU RADAN
IPC: H02P9/40
Filed: 1993-01-26
Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a switching reluctance generator device which can restart the generating action, without the need for a large-sized power source if there is a short circuit fault. CONSTITUTION: A switching reluctance generator device, which includes a converter 27' to connect the DC voltage to a switching reluctance generator through a DC exciting bus 62 (or exciting node) so as to excite the switching reluctance generator, has a separate generator bus 60 for supplying the output voltage Vg of the switching reluctance generator. A generator bus 60 is provided separate from the DC exciting bus 62, so that the average current iav generated by the switching reluctance generator may be substantially irrelevant to the output voltage Vg of the generator. As a result, after an occurrence of overload, overload is supplied to remove the fault (for example, through a fuse), and the switching reluctance generator can restart the generating action, without the need for a relatively large-sized power source for exciting the generator again.
