Title: Twin coupling device
Inventor: LEE HYEONGCHEOL
IPC: B60K23/08
Filed: 2002-01-11
Abstract: A coupling device 10 has a holding element 14 coupled to an output shaft 22 and a rolling element 12. An annular cam 16 is coupled to an input shaft 24 and the rolling element 12. A piston 20 is coupled between the rolling element 12 and a pressure chamber 18. An engine rotates the input shaft 24, which turns a ring gear 66 transferring the rotational movement to a carrier 64. The output shaft 22 is connected to a wheel of a vehicle. If the rotation of the input and output shafts is the same , then the rolling element 12 remains stationary, if there is in a difference in rotation speeds eg, when a wheel skids, the rolling element 12 revolves around the annular cam 16 which moves the rolling element in an axial direction, causing a pressure increase in a chamber 18 via a piston 20. Further difference in the relative rotation of the two shafts 22,24 causes an further increase in pressure, until the pressure is sufficient to resist axial movement of the rolling element 12, which prevents any more relative rotation and causes the two shafts 22,24 to rotate together at the same speeds. There may be a number of rolling elements 12 and pressure chambers 18, bearings may be added to the carrier 64, and an electric control unit 52 may be provided to control resistance of the relative rotation movement via a control valve (48, fig 4).

Patent GB-2397957-A (GB)
Title: Target detection
Inventor: LYCETT SAMANTHA JANE
IPC: G01S13/524
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A method for processing returns from a sensor, such as a radar system, in order to identify targets is provided. The method uses a track before detect routine to integrate (add) data from several scans in order to give better discrimination. In running the track before detect routine however a number of possible target motions are postulated and the data are added with relative shifts corresponding to each such postulated motion. A result above a threshold may then be indicative of a target present and moving with the postulated velocity. The method gives more accurate target detection as the combined data at the correct target motion postulate is more consistent than transient noise and clutter. Once a target has been identified it can be removed from the data set and the search continued for additional targets.

Title: Speech recognition in mobile telecommunication systems
Inventor: XUAN QING
IPC: G10L19/012
Filed: 2003-07-21
Abstract: After a speech or voice call has been initiated between mobile terminal (MS 30) and the mobile telecommunications network (BTS 16, BSC 30, TRAU 50 and MSC 32), voice or speech data is then exchanged in a conventional manner between the MS 30 and the base transceiver system BTS 16. To improve speech recognition it is desired in accordance with the present invention to deactivate the background noise (comfort noise) generation feature of MS 30. An activate speech recognition mode ("activate SRM") message is sent from the automatic speech recognition module (ASR 52) to BTS 16 via transcoder and rate adaption unit (TRAU 50), base station controller (BSC 20) and BTS 16. The transmission of the activate SRM signal between BTS 16 and MS 30 is more problematic because the voice or speech data transmitted between these components is of a standard format and altering that standard format would result in any MS not capable of entering a special speech recognition mode, in which the automatic noise generation function is deactivated, incompatible with the network. In accordance with the invention, a special activate SRM signal is embedded within the speech or voice data which does not affect the speech or voice content data but which is interpretable by an appropriately configured MS30, and which causes the MS30 to deactivate the automatic noise generation feature thereof.
