Abstract: A fiber blending, opening and cleaning arrangement which includes a feed section
for delivering a blend of fibers onto a first opening and blending operation,
comprising an array of parallel opening and blending rolls rotating in one direction
and arranged along an incline and in adjacent positions. The fibers are passed

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method of measuring a physiological variable in a body. A basic idea of the present invention is to measure a physiological variable in a body by means of employing a sensor (314) which is arranged to be disposed in the body for measuring the physiological variable. The sensor must be provided with a supply voltage in order to be operable. Therefore, a control unit (322) disposed outside the body provides this supply voltage to the sensor. The control unit also receives, from the sensor, via a wired connection (311), signals that represent the physiological variables that are measured. The control unit is arranged with a communication interface (401, 701) and a modulator (301) for wireless communication of the measured physiological variables for presentation purposes.

Abstract: A multiplier circuit has an encoder (205; 12) and a
partial product bit generating circuit (14). The
encoder (205; 12) receives a multiplier bit signal (bj)
and is used to output a plurality of encode signals. The
partial product bit generating circuit (14) receives the
encoded signals along with a multiplicand bit signal (ai,
/ai) from each digit place and is used to generate a
partial product bit for each digit place. The partial
product bit generating circuit (14) has a first selection
circuit (201, 203) which is used to select a logically
true signal from among the encode signals in accordance
with a value of the multiplicand bit signal. Therefore,
the circuit can be reduced in size by reducing the number
of necessary elements without sacrificing its high speed
capability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the reproduction of a television signal on a distant reproduction device. The received television signal is encoded and transmitted in a digital data format over a communication link to the reproduction device. The reproduction device decodes the received video information for display on a display screen. The present invention is particularly intended for use in mobile vehicles, coaches and trains, where the signal strength of a received television signal during travel is continuously varying and signal distortions occur frequently. In order to reduce the effect of signal distortions on the perceived image and audio quality, the present invention inserts a compressed pre-stored video or audio data into the data stream transmitted from the television receiver to the reproduction device upon detection of a television signal distortion. Thus, the decoding procedure at the display device can be maintained in spite of a received a television signal of insufficient signal strength.

Abstract: A beam is reflected and/or transmitted by a sample with a coating. The path of the beam has a unitary path part where the beam is affected by the coating but is split into parallel sub-paths in a fixed (sample independent) part of the apparatus, components of the beam with different directions of polarization being passed through the sub-paths. A spectrum is determined of ratio's between intensities of the components after they have been affected by the sample, and from the spectrum of the ratio's coating properties are determined. Typically a polarizing splitter is used to split the beam after it has been affected by the sample and the beam is chopped in the sub-paths. After chopping the beam may be recombined before being passed to a detector. The detector may be shared between different arrangements of splitters-choppers-combiners. The beam may be passed to and from the sample through the same splitter.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of finding a reliable optimum
value of a measurement condition in an NMR measurement. This method
starts with gaining NMR measurement data while varying the value
of the measurement condition to be optimized. Then, a certain
property is extracted as a numerical value from the measurement
data. A plot is made along varied value of the measurement condition
to create a curve. A model equation coincident with the measurement
condition, its range, and the certain property extracted as a
numerical value is established. Curve fitting is done in which
constants of the model equation are varied such that the equation
agrees the created curve. The constant values of the model equation
and their standard deviation are obtained by curve fitting. An
optimum value of the measurement condition is obtained from the
results.

It contains two groups of wheels that are arranged perpendicular to one another, i.e. four rows of wheels form a quadrate. Within each group, the wheels turn in the same direction. There are two schemes to carrying out the "four-direction moving": 1, the height of one of the two groups of wheels can be changed; and 2, the conventional circular wheels are replaced with circular eccentric or elliptical or noncircular (e.g. polygonal) wheels so that one group of wheels will not impede movement when the other group of wheels is turning by virtue of the longer diameter of the turning wheels.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, an apparatus and method for managing an uplink communication between a network and a plurality of terminals is achieved by transmitting a response condition parameter from the network to the plurality of terminals subscribing to a multicast service. The parameter is associated with controlling the uplink communication of the plurality of terminals. The terminal then applies the response control parameter to a predetermined test and responds to the network if the terminal determines that it is qualified to respond to the network in response to a result of the predetermined test. The network evaluates whether the parameter needs to be transmitted to the plurality of terminals and whether the parameter needs to be updated based on at least part of responses received by the network.
