Patent EP-0843056-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NELSON THOMAS J
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 1997-10-08
Abstract: Disclosed is laminate flooring (10) and other articles with tongues (26) and
grooves (16) for joining sections of the flooring or articles and a method of making
the tongue and groove joints. The lower surfaces (28,18) of the tongues (26) and
grooves (16) are indexing surfaces for aligning the  wear surfaces (12) of the flooring sections.
The tongues (26) and grooves (16) are made such that when the tongue (26) is fully inserted
into the groove (16), a continuous space is formed between the upper surface (27,17) of the
tongue (26) and groove (16). The grooved edges (25,15) are cut at an acute angle to the surface (12).
This provides a space between the upper surfaces (27,17) of the tongue (26) and groove (16) and
between the edge surfaces (25,15) above the tongues (26) and grooves (16) toward the wear
surfaces (12) of the flooring sections. Glue in the joint, upon curing, resists
penetration of moisture and increases the strength of the joint.

Abstract: A process for bending a thermoplastic skinned honeycomb
core panel (65) includes clamping a planar portion of the panel
between upper and lower platens to hold the panel against
movement parallel to the plane of the planar portion. A
linear band of a face sheet on one side of the panel is
heated with a heater bar to soften resin in the face sheet
and disbond adhesive holding the face sheet to the honeycomb
core. The heater bar is lifted away from the face sheet,
forming the linear band into a bubble separated away from the
honeycomb core. A distal leg of the panel, outboard of the
clamped portion, is bent around a heated anvil (70) along an axis
parallel to the linear band to form a bend having an inside
radius, with the bubble coinciding with the inside radius.
The bubble collapses around the inside radius and forms an
overlapping flap (340) of face sheet material. The overlapping
flap of face sheet material is pressed in a fold between the
anvil and the bent leg of the panel, and the leg is held in
the bent position while resin in the flap freezes in the
fold.

Abstract: A method and device determines the metric value threshold used in a
Viterbi synchronization evaluation circuit which enables to synchronize with a
correct coding rate when multiple coding rates exist in the input signal to a
Viterbi decoder. A first coding rate setting unit sets a coding rate for which the
metric value threshold may need to be identified, and a second coding rate
setting unit sets a coding rate other than the coding rate set by the first coding
rate setting unit. A metric value threshold setting unit decreases values
gradually from the maximum metric value threshold as the
synchronous/asynchronous state of the Viterbi decoder is monitored by a
synchronous/asynchronous monitor in order to find the minimum metric value
threshold where the Viterbi decoder is not completely synchronized (limit for
judging asynchronicity). This minimum value is determined as the metric value
threshold for the coding rate set by the first coding rate setting unit.

Abstract: A protection facility is provided for use in an optical communications
node that communicates with another optical communications node via first
and second bi-directional communications paths respectively serving as a
service path and protection path, in which a filter filters signals respectively
received over the service and protection paths and generates a main signal
and a complementary signal for each of the paths. A control unit then
generates a Loss of Signal (LOS_A) indication for the service path if a SUM
signal or DIFF signal respectively derived as a function of a sum of the main
and complementary signals generated for the service path and difference
between the main and complementary signals generated for the service path
is less than a respective threshold value. A switch then invokes protection
switching responsive to the presence of the LOS_A indication.

Abstract: A local exchange emulator for transmitting and receiving telephone line data comprises a
plurality of serial data sequencers and global serial communication means, the plurality of
serial data sequencers each being interfaced with the global serial communication means.
Each serial data sequencer has a time division multiplexed I/O port for interfacing with a
plurality of subscribers in use and digital signal processing means for taking measurements
associated with data processed by the emulator. The digital signal processing means has first
and second serial I/O lines, the first serial I/O line being connected to the I/O port for direct
data transfer therewith, and the second serial I/O line being connected to the global serial
communication means, the first serial I/O lines each being time division multiplexed to the
same order as the I/O port. In that way, the emulator is operative on all of the time slots
defined on the I/O port. That allows full real time operation of the emulator in a manner
similar to that of a local exchange. The global serial communication means is time division
multiplexed into a plurality of time slots. The time division multiplexing may be consistent
