Title: Systeme d'interface pour conducteur de reglage des parametres de commande de vehicule et commutateurs faciles a utiliser
Inventor: MILLER ROBIN MIHEKUN
IPC: B60N2/02
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'interface amélioré pour conducteur qui permet à l'opérateur de régler plusieurs paramètres du véhicule. Ainsi, l'opérateur peut régler les éléments nécessaires au moment du démarrage du véhicule, ce qui s'avère particulièrement important lorsque la voiture ne lui est pas familière, par exemple une voiture louée. Selon un mode de réalisation, le conducteur peut avoir un dispositif qui mémorise des valeurs désirées pour au moins quelques paramètres. Le dispositif peut alors transmettre les paramètres que désire l'opérateur à une unité de commande et les éléments du véhicule peuvent commencer à prendre les positions désirées alors que l'opérateur s'approche du véhicule. Selon d'autres variantes, l'invention concerne des commutateurs améliorés. Un commutateur rotatif pivote sur la jante du volant. L'opérateur peut aisément activer ce commutateur et cette opération ne le distrait pas de la route. Un second type de commutateur comprend un élément tactile. Ainsi, l'opérateur peut facilement établir un niveau souhaité rien qu'en touchant le commutateur. Ce commutateur présente des avantages particuliers pour les systèmes régulateurs de vitesse ou pour les systèmes de commande d'éléments du véhicule, tels que les fenêtres.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for wireless transmission of data through a communications channel between at least two local data sensors (for example automotive diagnostic data sensors or NVH sensors), which may include a primary data-processing function, and data-processing function (for example a PC) to receive data therefrom. The system provides for asymmetrical division of the communications channel on a frequency or time-division or packet-switching basis so that the corresponding asymmetrical data transmission requirement of the local data sensors are matched to the capacity of their respective sub-channels whereby a single channel is capable of transmitting all the required data. A particularly practical application is to noise vibration harshness analysis of wireless-transmitted data from three-dimensionally spaced NVH sensors enabling spacial pinpointing of vibration sources in automotive warranty analysis studies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for eliminating interference in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) radio receiver In the method, coded signals that are transmitted on subcarriers are received, reliability information generated for the signals being used in their soft decoding In accordance with the invention, the signal-to-interference ration of the subcarrier is used as the reliability information, the signal-to-interference ratio being defined by dividing the amplitude of the received signal by the interference amplitude. The interference amplitude is generated by calculating the deviation of the amplitudes of a set of selected signals from the average amplitude level of the set of signals. The average amplitude level of the set of signals is the mean value, median or some other statistical quantity indicative of the average level of the amplitudes of the set of signals. The deviation from the average amplitude level of the set of signals is the standard deviation, variance or some other statistical deviation-indicating quality of the set of signals. The amplitudes of the set of signals are selected from successive symbols in the time domain and/or from adjacent subcarriers in the frequency domain. The invention also relates to an OFDM radio receiver using the method.

Abstract: The present application discloses an improved mobile communications
architecture, in which each base station broadcasts not
only data which has been spread by that station's long code word,
but also (intermittently) code identification data which has not
been spread. The code identification data is a block code which
includes multiple symbols, so that multiple intermittent
transmissions are required to complete the transmission of the
code identification data. This transmission lets the mobile
station shorten the search for the base station's long code word
in two ways: the code identification data gives at least some
information about the long code itself; and the phase of the block
code gives at least some information about the phase of the long
code word.

Abstract: A system and method for improving microprocessor computer system out of order support
via register management with synchronization of multiple pipelines and providing for
processing a sequential stream of instructions in a computer system having a first and a
second processing element, each of said processing elements having its own state
determined by a setting of its own general purpose and control registers. When at any point
in the processing of said sequential stream of instructions by said first processing element it
becomes beneficial to have said second processing element begin continued processing of
the same sequential instruction stream then the first and second processing elements process
the sequential stream of instructions and may be executing the very same instruction but
only one of said processing elements is permitted to change the overall architectural state of
said computer system which is determined by a combination of the states of said first and
second processing elements. The second processor will have more pipeline stages than the
first in order processor to feed the first processor and reduce the finite cache penalty and
increase performance. The processing and storage of results of the second processor does
not change the architectural state of the computer system. Results are stored in its gprs or
its personal storage buffer. Resynchronization of states with a coprocessor occurs upon an
invalid op, a stall or a computed specific benefit to processing with the coprocessor as a
speculative coprocessor. In an alternative embodiment the foregoing process is
generalized for both processors allowing processors to forward and store architectural state
changes for future use as required by the other processor when at a later time the processor
which is permitted to change the overall architectural state of said computer system is
changed.

informational electrical signals to a computer. Each key 14 has an elastomeric
dome 40 for resisting downward movement of a keytop 28, 50 from an un-depressed
position to an actuation position and for returning the keytop 28, 50 to an un-depressed
position when the actuation force is released. Each dome 40 has a
collapsible side wall 44. The keys 14 are subdivided into groups 68, 70, 72, and 74
associated with the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger,
respectively. The collapsible side walls 44 of the domes 40 associated with the little
and ring fingers are thinner than the side walls 44 of the side walls associated with
the index and middle fingers so that less force is required to actuate the keys in
groups associated with the ring and little fingers than that required to actuate the
keys in groups associated with the index and middle fingers. Additionally the forces
required to actuate a group of peripheral and control keys is greater than
thatrequired to actuate the alphabetical keys.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for programming a non-volatile memory cell wherein the rate of current flowing through the cell is controlled via a current limiter coupled to the source node of the memory cell. The rate of current through the current limiter controls the programming current rate through the memory cell. The current limiter is controlled by an input which is dependant upon the setting of a current through an associated current mirror device. The current mirror current is controlled by a pre-defined input condition on a current source. The mirror current is used by a biasing circuit to generate a proportional input to the current limiter device. The current source thereby controls the current limiter rate. The current source can be formed from the same process as the memory cells and its output will thereby vary with the conductivity of the formed devices. This variation in the current source output, and hence the current limiter current, can be used to compensate for the comparable conductivity variations in the memory cells. The programming current rate can thereby be controlled, and can additionally be controlled according to process variations in the memory cell devices.

a setup screen for changing the contents to be changed
for elimination of that error is displayed on a
displaying section (15a) of a computer system. 
     In this way, when an error occurs, the user can
easily specify a factor (matters to be changed) in the
occurrence of the error to quickly and properly
eliminate that error. The technique is applicable in
dealing with the error detected through the power on
self test (22) in an information processing system
having a setup function based upon, for example, a
basic input output program (BIOS).
