Patent EP-1154185-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BADDERS SCOTT L
IPC: B29C48/153
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A hose includes a tube assembly (12) surrounded by a textile reinforcement (36)
that is surrounded by a cover assembly (20). The tube assembly (12) includes an inner
non-foamed layer (14) that is surrounded by a foamed layer (16) that is surrounded by
an outer non-foamed layer (18). The textile reinforcement (30) surrounds the outer non-foamed
layer (18) of the tube assembly (12) and preferably consists of a first spiral
threading (32) and a second mesh threading (34). The cover assembly (20) includes an
inner non-foamed layer (14) that is surrounded by a foamed layer (16) that is
surrounded by an outer non-foamed layer (18). The adjacent relationship of the
outer non-foamed layer (18) of the tube assembly (12) and the inner non-foamed layer (14)
of the cover assembly (20) provide a substantial increase in adhesion between the
two assemblies. Further, this configuration reduces the tendency for water
seepage between the layer or plies that can cause bubbles and separation.
Still further, the present configuration allows the foam layers to be blown with
lighter densities for softness and reduced weight while not compromising hose
integrity. Even further, the present configuration improves hose strength with a
concomitant reduction in the amount of textile reinforcement (30).

Title: Linear amplifying equipment
Inventor: MATSUOKA AKIHIKO
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: In a transmission power amplifying unit used for radio communications, a non-linear distortion compensator is provided before its main power amplifier. The compensator compensates the main power amplifier for non-linear distortions so as to perform non-linear distortion compensation prior to power amplification of a transmission signal. The transmission signal that has undergone the non-linear distortion compensation is amplified by the main power amplifier. The phase of either the output of the amplifier or the transmission signal is controlled and these two signals are synthesized so that they are in opposite phase. This operation can reduce non-linear distortion components generated in the main power amplifier and thus power consumption of the amplifier. As a result, power consumption of the auxiliary amplifier is reduced and efficiency of power used in the linear compensated amplifying equipment can be improved.

Abstract: The Overhauser effect is a technique for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of nuclear
magnetic resonance signals. Electron spin resonance is set up for example in a contrast
agent 14 injected into a patient by means of a transmitter 3 at the end of a probe 1 to excite
an area 15. The excited electrons couple to MR active nuclei and increase the population
in the higher energy level. Then, when an NMR signal is transmitted and received via coil
5, more MR active nuclei return to the ground state and create a bigger, enhanced, signal
detected by the coil 5, hence promoting increased signal-to-noise ratio on an image formed
on the monitor 9. In the invention, the Overhauser effect may be applied to an intraoperative
situation by means of probe 1 which is inserted, for example, into a patient in a
region of interest. According to a preferred feature, the transmitter 3 is also used for heat
treatment such as ablation by means of oscillator 16 in order to destroy diseased tissue, and
the temperature dependence of the enhanced NMR signal, corrected for migration of the
contrast agent by the ESR signal reflected back along the central conductor 3 into the
detector 13, is used to control the temperature and hence the heat treatment operation.

Abstract: An equalizer and equalization method, as well as a receiver and
reception method, are provided which have little deterioration
of the error rate characteristic even at a low oversampling rate. This
address the problem of symbol synchronization and demodulation
processing at a high oversampling rate, which occur with QAM
signals. The equalizer works on a detection signal, obtained by
detecting a transmission signal which has known symbol patterns. The
equalizer is constructed of a frame/symbol synchronization
circuit (207), which reproduces symbol timing, by detecting the known
symbol pattern; an equalization processing section (203), which obtains
an equalization signal, by weighting signals extracted from the
detection signal at predetermined intervals; a pilot symbol
pattern generator (205), which generates a reference signal
identical to the symbol pattern; a subtracter (206), which
generates an equalization error, by subtracting the equalization signal
from the reference signal, and a weight control circuit (208), which
updates weights, based on the detection signal and equalization error.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimising signal
reception for a broadcast data receiver. Broadcast Data
Receivers are used to receive digital data transmitted from a
remote location, process the same and then generate video,
audio and auxiliary services. However the Broadcast data
receiver is typically located in a household and can be
susceptible to general and/or local conditions which affect the
reception of the data signals at different frequencies. The
present invention provides a method for optimising the signal
reception at the broadcast data receiver location by allowing the
analysis of amplitude gain control levels of the broadcast data
receiver and then selecting the amplitude gain control levels
and/or other levels which optimise the quality of the received
signal at each frequency.
