Patent EP-1091539-A2 (EP)
Inventor: D SOUZA WINAND
IPC: H04M1/02
Filed: 2000-10-03
Abstract: A portable device comprising a housing and an electro-acoustic transducer.
The housing has a first surface with an outlet for the egress of an acoustic
signal when in a loudspeaker mode and a second surface with an outlet for
the egress of an acoustic signal when in an earpiece mode. The electro-acoustic
transducer is located within the housing and converts an electrical
signal input to the transducer into an acoustic signal. The transducer is
operable to output acoustic signals when in the loudspeaker mode or the
earpiece mode, the audio path between the transducer and the outlet for the
egress of an acoustic signal when in the loudspeaker mode being less
attenuated than the audio path between the transducer and the outlet for the
egress of an acoustic signal when in the earpiece mode.

Title: Variable optical delay lines with a micro electro-mechanical system
Inventor: BISHOP DAVID JOHN
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A variable optical delay line using MEMS devices. A reflector on a
micro machine linear rack is positioned and spaced from an input source and/or an
output to receive and reflect input light waves toward the output. The distance
between the reflector and the input and output is variable and thereby enables
selective path delay compensation of the input light wave signals. Other disclosed
embodiments utilize pivoting MEMS mirrors and selective adjustment of the mirror
pivot angles to provide the selective path delay compensation required in a light
wave system.

Abstract: A method and an equalizer is described for the adaptive equalization in a real- or
complex- data transmission system, characterized by operating independently of the
phase of the signal at the input of the equalizer but dependently of decided data. The
equalizer comprises a FIR filter whose coefficients vary with time according to a
determined cost function (J) given by
 
where  E {·} indicates
the averaging operation in relation to the symbols. In the event of combination of two or
more signals in space diversity, the method allows for the coherent demodulation
downstream of the equalizers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for computational
determination of ground fault distance in an electric power
transmission network connected into a ring configuration
utilizing the information available, e.g., from the numerical
measurement data obtained by means of a multifunction
protective relay. According to the method, the fault is detected
and the faulted sending end (6) is identified, the fault resistance
to ground is computed, and the faulted sending end (6) is connected
to form a looped ring with one of the sound sending ends
(5). According to the invention, the zero-sequence voltage, the
line-to-neutral voltages and the zero-sequence currents of the
sending ends connected into a looped ring are measured, plus
one line-to-line voltage to obtain a phase reference for phasor
synchronization, the looped ring is released after the
measurements, the phases of the measurement signals are
referenced to the line-to-line voltage and frequency components
different from the fundamental frequency are filtered away,
whereupon the RMS values of the signals are computed based
on the thus obtained fundamental-frequency components of the
signals, and the fault distance is computed, whereupon the
faulted line section can be disconnected.

IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A device for the analysis of an optical wavefront includes an array (ML) of microlenses (Li), and signal processing elements. Each mircolens (Li) defines a subaperature (Spi), and focuses an elementary surface of the wavefront, intercepted by the subaperature, for forming a spot (Ti) on the detector. For each subaperature (Spi), a zone (Zi) of assumed localization of the spot is defined. The processing unit makes it possible to establish a measurement file associating to each subaperature the position of this spot. The structure of the array (ML) presents one or several local variations. By comparing the contribution of these local variations taken from the measurement file, with their contribution taken from a reference file, the displacement between the subaperature from which a detected spot is derived and the subaperature that defines the zone of assumed localization wherein the spot is located is measured.

Abstract: Le gestionnaire de mémoire intelligent sert à combiner les dispositifs physiques non homogènes contenus dans un sous-système de mémoire, afin de produire un dispositif logique présentant une nouvelle et unique qualité de caractéristiques de service répondant aux critères des principes directeurs appropriés dans le cadre du présent objet de données. En particulier, s'il n'existe actuellement aucun dispositif logique approprié pour stocker le présent objet de données, le gestionnaire de mémoire intelligent définit un nouveau dispositif logique utilisant les définitions de dispositifs physiques et/ou logiques existants comme modules pour conférer les caractéristiques appropriées afin de remplir les conditions des principes directeurs. Le gestionnaire de mémoire intelligent utilise des valeurs pondérées qui sont affectées à chacun des dispositifs logiques définis pour produire la solution optimale, compte tenu des principes directeurs considérés, dans un algorithme d'adaptation optimal à n dimensions. La définition du dispositif logique obtenu est ensuite mise en oeuvre par l'interconnexion dynamique des dispositifs logiques qui ont été utilisés comme modules du dispositif logique nouvellement défini, afin de stocker l'objet de données.
