Title: Regulator device for the application of pressure to anti-G-pilot trousers
Inventor: MECKES RUEDIGER
IPC: B64D10/00
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a regulator device for the application of compressed air to anti-G-pilot trousers to reduce the effects of acceleration forces on the pilot. Flight manoeuvres with a rapid transition from negative to positive acceleration over a wider range than previously are possible with the invention. For this purpose, the regulator device is provided with a regulator means 5-10 for detecting acceleration changes from negative to positive values. In the case of changes in the rate of acceleration above a predetermined value, the regulator causes an additional time-dependent application of pressure which decreases with time. This design results in an additional time-dependent application of pressure to the anti-G pilot trousers in the case of rapid load changes from negative to positive accelerations, thus making it possible to counteract too rapid a flow of blood from the enlarged blood vessels in the upper half of the body during such transitions. The regulator device works preferably with pneumatic control branches 13,14 which act by means of a valve control chamber 4 on a main valve 15 which sets the pressure at the regulator outlet 12.

Title: Power saving method for scanning input signals in a wireless telephone
Inventor: HOKAO TOMOAKI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: The telephone intermittently monitors for a received signal. If during a given period of time (a 'third' period of time), longer than the monitoring period (the 'first' period of time), no signal is received, the monitoring period is increased to save power. If, however, during this new, longer, monitoring period (the 'second' period), a signal is received, the mode is returned to the original, shorter monitoring period. In another embodiment, if an input signal is received during the third period of time, the strength of the signal is measured at a 'first mode keeper'. If the signal strength is at or above a threshold value then the first, shorter monitoring period is maintained. Also described is a computer program for causing a computer to control the operation of this system.
Patent GB-2331673-A (GB)
Title: Method of freeing a voice channel in a radio telecommunications network
Inventor: LOO WILLIAM
IPC: H04W16/06
Filed: 1997-07-11
Abstract: A method is disclosed of freeing a voice channel in a congested first cell (Cell B) in a cellular telecommunication system upon demand and without dropping an ongoing call. The method begins by identifying a second cell (Cell D) that neighbors the congested first cell, identifying a first mobile station (M2) operating on a voice channel in the congested first cell near the boundary of the second cell, and forcing a handoff of the first mobile station from the congested first cell to the second cell, thereby freeing the voice channel. If the second cell is also congested, the method identifies a third cell (Cell E) neighboring the second cell and identifies a second mobile station (M3) operating in the second cell near the boundary of the third cell. The method then forces a handoff of the second mobile station from the second cell to the third cell, thereby freeing a second voice channel located in the second cell. Finally, the method forces a handoff of the first mobile station from the congested first cell to the second cell, utilizing the second voice channel, thereby freeing the first voice channel in the congested first cell.

Title: Flash memory architecture and rewrite method
Inventor: LAI JEFFREY
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A flash memory architecture comprises master-slave FAT (file allocated table) and logical pages. The logical pages are defined subject to the number of erasable blocks at the flash memory (Fig. 2). When rewriting the flash memory, an index is set up corresponding to allocated blocks, and, whereas in the prior art, a whole file block would need to be erased before rewriting, according to the invention, the renewal content and the content in the original allocated block are combined and then written in a new allocated block. At the same time the index is modified and aimed at the new allocated block, enabling the new allocated block to substitute for the original allocated block, so as to eliminate the operation of erasing the whole file allocated block and the possibility of a file loss due to power failure, system down, or a replacement of the flash memory.
