Abstract: A method for detecting an out-of-step in an electric power system in
which two power systems (1 1 ,1 2 ) are connected at both
sides of a transmission line (3). The method includes the steps of, a
voltage and current taking step for taking in a voltage and a current of
the electric power system at regular intervals, a phase angle difference
computing step for computing a phase angle difference between the
voltage and the current taken by the voltage and current taking step,
and an out-of-step judging step for receiving the phase angle
difference, for obtaining a change amount in the phase angle differences
at every measuring interval and for judging that an out-of-step occurs
between the two power systems in the electric power system when the
change amount in the phase angle difference is below a predetermined
threshold value for detecting sudden change in phase angle and the phase
angle difference is above a preset out-of-step judging phase angle
difference.

Abstract: A high operational speed clock extraction circuit,
which can be manufactured to be compact at low cost. In
order to reduce the operational speed of a phase
comparator, phases are compared between a signal obtained
by frequency-diving an inputted non-return zero signal by
m and a signal obtained by frequency-dividing an extracted
clock signal outputted from a voltage control oscillator
by n. In addition, in order to correctly compare phases
between the frequency-divided signals, edge pulses used
for phase comparison and produced based on the frequency-divided
input signals are divided by an edge pulse
selecting circuit according to cases, specifically between
a case of performing phase comparison for the rising edge
of a frequency-divided clock and a case of performing
phase comparison for the falling edge of the same. Then,
phase comparison is performed based on each of the edge
pulses. The output of each phase comparison is passed
through a low pass filter to control the voltage control
oscillator.

Abstract: A satellite communications technique is disclosed that
synchronizes the reception of numerous OFDM uplink signals
(108, 110) at a satellite (106) receiver and bulk processes
them in the satellite (106). In operation, the satellite
(106) receives an OFDM uplink signal (110) transmitted by a
CPE (104). The satellite 106 then compares the reception
timing of the symbols in the received OFDM uplink signal
(110) with a satellite timing reference, and generates a
timing correction. The satellite (106) provides a downlink
symbol clock as inherent structure in a downlink beam to the
CPE (104) and also transmits the timing correction in the
downlink beam. The CPE (104) uses the downlink symbol clock
in conjunction with the timing correction to generate an
uplink clock. The CPE (104) then transmits data in the OFDM
uplink signal (110) synchronously with the uplink clock.
Each CPE (102, 104) may be synchronized in this manner. In
addition, the satellite (106) may also periodically re-compare
the reception timing of the OFDM uplink signals (108,
110) with the satellite timing reference to generate new
timing corrections, if necessary, for the CPEs (102, 104).

Abstract: A method of collecting charging information relating to usage of the Internet by an Internet user. The method comprises constructing in a router of the Internet a routing table containing a set of destination address ranges and a set of respective next hop network nodes. Each address range in the routing table is assigned a cost class in dependence upon the route via which a packet must travel to an address within the range. Upon receiving a data packet from the network user, the destination address of the packet is identified by the router. The router then determines from the routing table the associated cost class. A corresponding cost class counter in the router is then incremented.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a support, an oxygen
storage-and-release member, and a noble metal. The support includes a zeolite,
whose silicon-to-aluminum (Si/Al) molar ratio is 150 or less, and a metallic oxide
support. The noble metal is loaded at least on the support and outside the pores of
the zeolite. Thus, no noble metal is loaded in the pores of the zeolite.
Accordingly, sulfates are inhibited from generating in the pores, and the pores are
inhibited from being closed by the sulfates. Hence, even after a durability test, the
catalyst keeps to exhibit a high HC adsorbing ability, and is improved in terms of
the NO x  purifying ability. Two processes for producing the catalyst are also
disclosed.

Abstract: In a procedure for the digital evaluation of the analogue
output signals from a resolver with at least two stator
windings, arranged perpendicular to each other on a stator, and
at least one rotor winding on a rotor able to rotate in
relation to the stator, a sinusoidal signal is applied to the
rotor winding and sine, respectively cosine shaped signals,
depending on the angular position of the stator in relation to
the rotor, are extracted from the stator windings. These
signals are further processed after conversion into digital
signals by application of the inverse tangential function, in
order to compute an angular value for the relative angular
position between the rotor and the stator. This angular value
is affected by a propagation delay time error, which is
compensated for by the introduction of a control loop. Because
of the inclusion of the control loop, both the angular velocity
of the rotor as well as its relative angular position can be
obtained without degradation by propagation time delay errors.

Abstract: A projector has a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image, a lamp for
illuminating the liquid crystal display panel, and a projection optical system for
projecting light modulated by the image displayed. The lamp is held by a member
whose position is variable to allow fitting of different types of lamp. The projector
acquires data related to the lamp currently fitted and controls the light emission of the
lamp on the basis of that data. The data includes the life of the lamp, so that the
projector prevents the lamp to be lit longer than its remaining life. The remaining life
is updated in accordance with how long the lamp has been lit. In addition to the
lamp that is lit, an auxiliary lamp may be fitted so that the lamp that is lit can be
switched to the auxiliary lamp as required. The lamp is formed into a single lamp
unit together with a reflector or a casing to prevent the user from touching the lamp.
The lamp is accessible for replacement only when it is in a predetermined position,
where the lamp is never allowed when hot.
