Patent EP-0803993-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ERVING RICHARD HENRY
IPC: H04B7/216
Filed: 1997-04-22
Abstract: Switching of traffic channels within spread spectrum beams is
performed in a satellite without buffering of the individual signals. Individual
satellite beams carrying spread spectrum user RF signals from a plurality of
customer premise equipments are received by radio receivers of a satellite switch
and downconverted to IF signals. Traffic channel recovery is performed
immediately after the down conversion and digital encoding and decoding is
performed to route each channel to an appropriate outbound satellite beam. Traffic
channel recovery is by despreading and filtering followed by respreading to uniquely
identify each user signal so it may be recovered at its end destination. Further
spreading uniquely identifies the user signal with an outbound satellite beam going
to the intended destination of the user signal.

Abstract: Hitherto, when speech data is quantized, since a
quantum is determined irrespective of a deviation of a
distribution of the speech data, an error of an output
probability calculation by quantization is large and a
recognition rate deteriorates. According to the
invention, to solve the subject of the prior art, a
quantization range of speech data is obtained, an
integral value of an output probability of the
quantization range is obtained by using an output
probability distribution of statistic models of speech
data which has previously been obtained, a quantum is
determined so as to equally divide the integral value,
and a quantization code book is formed, thereby
reducing an error of an output probability due to the
quantization and enabling a recognition rate to be
improved.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining actual liquid volumes in vessels in an incubator rotor that experiences vertical run-out as it rotates past stations that fill the vessels with liquid. Air pressure is used to determine the height of the bottom of each of the empty vessels, and then the height of the liquid that fills the vessels, so that the difference in height is converted into volume to compare with the desired and expected volume for the operation that does the volume-filling. Also a method for determining and correcting for the variations in height of a rotor as it wobbles when rotating past a particular critical circumferential position. In this method, the steps comprise sensing a reference surface of each vessel in the rotor that is to be filled during the use of the rotor in an incubator, as a tare height of the vessel, so that the effect of the vertical run-out is known and corrected for by the computer. Air pressure is used to detect the reference surface, either from a vessel-wash probe connected to the source of air pressure, or a separate sensor probe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A motor terminal voltage or IPM input voltage necessary to
achieve a target operating point (T*, N) is computed based on
torque command (T*) and motor revolution (N). When the
computed voltage (V) exceeds an actual battery voltage (VB), a
booster is inserted between the battery (12) and IPM (14), and
the battery voltage, after being boosted, is applied between
the direct current terminals of the IPM (14). Since the motor
terminal voltage can be made so as to not exceed the boosted
voltage even if the motor terminal voltage rises along with a
rise in revolution (N) and speed voltage (ω•E0), field
weakening control becomes unnecessary.

Abstract: The distance between a moving character and a
fixed character which are displayed in a pseudo-three-dimensional
space on a display monitor screen is calculated
by identifying one of polygons which make up the fixed character
and which contains a point of planar coordinates representing
the position of the moving character, and calculating
the distance between the moving character and the
polygon which has been identified. A polygon representing a
mark associated with the moving character is applied to a
plane of a polygon of the fixed character by determining a
normal vector which is normal to the plane of the polygon at
a predetermined position thereon, determining a first vector
contained in the plane of the polygon perpendicularly to the
normal vector, determining a second vector contained in the
plane of the polygon perpendicularly to both the normal vector
and the first vector, and determining the rotation matrix
from the normal matrix, the first matrix, and the second
matrix.

Abstract: An analog FIFO memory device allowing for the suppression
of the adverse effects produced by fixed pattern noise,
generated inside an analog FIFO memory, on signal components.
First and second analog multipliers are respectively provided
on the input and output sides of the analog FIFO memory. In
synchronism with the inputs/outputs of signals to/from the
analog FIFO memory, a non-inverting operation and an inverting
operation are alternately and repeatedly performed on the
input signals and the output signals. Then, although the
signal input/output characteristics of the analog FIFO memory
are not changed, the fixed pattern noise generated inside the
analog FIFO memory is modulated by the second analog multiplier.
As a result, the spectrum of the fixed pattern noise,
which originally has a lower frequency, is shifted to have a
higher frequency. That is to say, since a signal band can be
separated from the fixed pattern noise in terms of frequency,
the fixed pattern noise can be eliminated by a low pass filter.
Consequently, even when the analog FIFO memory device of
the present invention is applied for delaying TV signals, the
resulting TV image quality is not deteriorated.

Abstract: A fuel filter assembly (22) employs a hand primer (10) and a
disposable filter cartridge (18) mounted to a header (14). The filter cartridge
(18) has a filter element (36) which defines an interior chamber (42) for
receiving the filtered fuel. The hand primer includes a diaphragm (48) which
cooperates with the header to define a reservoir (46) and a valve plate (66)
having a plurality of orifices and an axial opening for providing fluid
communication between an exit passage of the header and the reservoir
(46) and between the chamber (42) and the reservoir (46), respectively. A
first check valve (118) is mounted in the opening and a second check valve
(140) is mounted in an axial bore in the first check valve. The first and
second check valves (118, 140) are moveable between an open position for
allowing flow through the orifices of the valve plate (66) and orifices in the
first check valve (118), respectively, and a closed position for preventing
such flow. The filter assembly (22) is primed by pushing the diaphragm (48)
downwards, creating a high pressure which moves the first check valve
(118) to the open position and the second check valve (140) to the closed
position, causing trapped air to be expelled through the orifices and the exit
passage. Removing the downwards force allows a spring (64) to return to
bias the diaphragm (48) upwards, creating a low pressure which moves the
first check valve (118) to the closed position and the second check valve
(140) to the open position, and drawing fuel from the interior chamber (42).

Abstract: An object of the invention is that a terminal at the
transmitting end can easily designate an active unit of a
terminal at the receiving end, and that the terminal at the
receiving end can easily activate the active unit thus
designated. A CPU (2) compares an object ringing pattern (RA)
sampled at the time of outputting a ringing tone with a
plurality of predetermined reference ringing patterns (RB),
and controls a print controller (12) in such a manner as to
select and activate a recording paper cassette corresponding
to a reference ringing pattern (RB) matching the sampled object
ringing pattern (RA) with reference to a setting table included
in a RAM (4). Consequently, the information-transmitting end
of information grasps correspondences between the ringing
patterns and the recording paper cassettes in the facsimile
apparatus (1) at the information-receiving end of information.
The transmitting terminal can thus select a ringing pattern for
communication while at the same time easily designating a
recording paper cassette of the facsimile apparatus (1), which
can easily activate the designated recording paper cassette.
