Patent EP-0719058-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COHEN LEONARD GEORGE
IPC: H04Q1/14
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: The present invention includes a system for tracing jumpers used in an exchange to cross-connect optical fibers or wires served by the exchange. The system includes an exchange housing receptacles with optically-encoded data associated with each receptacle or a group of receptacles. The optically-encoded data for a receptacle(s) uniquely identifies the physical location of the receptacle from any other receptacle in the exchange. Also, this optically-encoded data can include the type of jumper and/or length of the jumper to be used with the receptacle, the correct routing of the jumper through the exchange, the traffic to be carried on the jumper and/or the identity of the physical location of the receptacle to be connected to the other end of the jumper. Likewise, the jumpers each have optically-encoded data formed thereon that uniquely identifies the jumper or jumper end and distinguishes the jumper from any other jumper used in the exchange. The optically-encoded data associated with the jumper can include the type of jumper, the length of the jumper, the proper routing of the jumper through the exchange and/or the traffic to be carried on the jumper. If no jumper is to be connected to a particular receptacle, a cover with optically-encoded data can be attached to a receptacle to indicate that no jumper is connected to the receptacle. The system of this invention also includes a hand-held optical scanner that can be used by an operator to scan the optically-encoded data associated with a receptacle(s) and the optically-encoded data of a jumper(s) connected to the receptacle(s), and transmits the optically-encoded data signals to a computer of the system of this invention. The computer can generate a display of the physical location of a receptacle(s) in association with the identity of the jumper(s) and connected thereto, so that an operator can diagnose misconnections of the jumpers between receptacles in the exchange. Further, the computer can store verification data that can be compared with optically-encoded data signals from scanning with the optical scanner, to determine whether the proper jumper has been connected to a receptacle, whether the jumper is of appropriate type or length for the cross-connection and whether the jumper or receptacle is associated with traffic that is of interest to the operator, for example.

Abstract: A powered down communication device locates a wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment by examining frequency bands while powered down until a frequency band having a acceptable service provider is located. The frequency bands are examined in an order specified by a stored search schedule. An acceptable service provider is identified by comparing the identity of a service provider specified by an identifier received from a band being examined with a list of acceptable service providers. The communication device then registers with the acceptable service provider when powered up.

Abstract: An electronic engine controller (10) for an internal combustion engine (100) develops an estimate of air charge by receiving a signal from an air meter (117) positioned in an intake manifold (101) of the engine. The signal is indicative of mass flow rate of air past the meter. In one embodiment EEC (10) develops an air charge estimate by developing a first pressure value which is indicative of the pressure in the intake manifold (101). A pressure correction term is then generated and added to the first pressure value to generate an improved estimate, which takes the dynamic response of the air meter into account, of pressure in the intake manifold. The air charge estimate is then developed from the pressure estimate. In another embodiment, a first mass value, which is indicative of the mass of air in the intake manifold (101) is developed. A mass correction term is then generated and added to the first mass value to generate the improved estimate.

Abstract: A circuit for maintaining the magnitude of a radio frequency (RF) signal at at least one predetermined level employs a detection circuit (16) coupled to an RF signal generator (10) by a four port coupling device (12). An impedance inverter (30) in series with a diode (D3) is connected between the load termination (L) of the coupling device (12) and ground. This series combination approximates a short circuit as the output signal power approaches a predetermined low amplitude threshold, and approximates an open circuit as the output signal power approaches a predetermined upper amplitude threshold, so that gain is provided to signals received by the detection circuit below a first amplitude level and attenuation is provided to signals received by the detection circuit above a second amplitude level. The circuit requires substantially less power than conventional circuits, so that only 1%-2% or less of the output of the amplifier (10) need be diverted for reliable operation, even for RF output power levels of the order of a fraction of a milliwatt.

Abstract: A first stream of argon-enriched oxygen is separated in a first rectification column 4 so far as to form oxygen vapour further enriched in argon, a second stream of argon-enriched oxygen is introduced into a second rectification column 6 operating at a lower pressure than the first rectification column 4. A vapour flow upwardly through the second rectification column 6 is created by reboiling in reboiler-condense 44 liquid separated therein. The further-enriched oxygen vapour is condensed in the reboiler-condenser 44 by indirect heat exchange with said separated liquid. One stream of the condensed further-enriched oxygen vapour is employed as reflux in the first rectification column 4. A third argon-enriched oxygen stream is introduced in liquid state into an intermediate mass exchange region of the second rectification column 6. An argon product is separated in the second rectification column. The argon concentration of the third stream is greater than that of the second stream but less than that of the argon product, and the third stream is taken from the condensed further-enriched oxygen vapour or from other liquid in the first rectification column 4.

Abstract: A closed-loop missile tracking system (10) employs a missile (12) with a thermal beacon (22) and an optical beacon (24). A target designator (40) defines a boresight from a missile firing location, such as an aircraft, to a target. The closed-loop missile tracking system (10) employs a first tracker (48) and a second tracker (64) with a forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor (52) to track the displacement of the optical beacon (22) and thermal beacon (24) from the boresight. The first tracker (48) generates a first set of azimuth and elevation error signals. The second tracker (64) further includes a video demultiplexing interface (70) which transforms serial multiplexed video signals, which are output by the FLIR sensor (52) and contain a field with M rows and L columns of pixels, into a demultiplexed parallel video signal. A video thermal tracker (VTT) (58) selects the N adjacent horizontal rows of pixels and generates a second set of azimuth and elevation error signals therefrom. The VTT (58) selects at least one of the first set of error signals, the second set or a combination thereof to guide the missile (12). If battlefield conditions such as smoke or electro-optical jamming affect the signal-to-noise quality of the first set of azimuth and elevation error signals, the VTT (58) selects the second set of error signals or a combination of the first and second error signals. The trajectory of the missile (12) is continuously corrected to align the thermal beacon (24) and/or optical beacon (22) with the boresight.

Abstract: Techniques for applying attenuation to audio signal frames in MPEG and similar compression systems are described, together with a method for mixing such signals without decompression. Each entry in a data frame (F) has an associated scale-factor index (SF), identifying a respective entry in a sequentially arranged and spaced table of scale-factor values. The attenuation technique (20), which suitably precedes mixing for at least one channel involves simple addition to scale factor index values to refer to a different scale-factor value. Respective sub-band data groups from each channel are compared in terms of their respective scale factors and following scaling the data for the two groups is added together. The scale-factor table spacing, which suitable corresponds to a 1dB attenuation, is used for quick scaling of the results of the addition if overflow is determined to have occurred.
