Patent EP-1374389-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PEHLKE DAVID
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: A branched power amplifier circuit includes two or more amplifier segments or branches, each with a corresponding lossy modulator. The branched power amplifier may be dynamically resized by enabling different ones of its branches, to deliver peak efficiency at a number of different amplifier output power levels. Each amplifier branch operates in a saturated mode and selectively amplifies an RF input signal. The lossy modulators provide either supply voltage or supply current modulation to corresponding amplifier branches, thus imparting highly linear amplitude modulation to the overall output signal generated by branched power amplifier, despite its saturated mode operation. The branched power amplifier circuit may be configured such that particular combinations of segments have peak efficiencies matched to the needs of one or more air interface standards used in wireless mobile communication systems.

Abstract: La conception de principe de machines électriques pourvues d'une structure d'enroulement sur des pièces polaires n'a pas varié depuis des décennies. Ces machines présentent, selon qu'elles opèrent en tant que générateur ou en tant que moteur, un rendement ou un couple limité et un rapport puissance/masse limité. L'invention propose une conception dans laquelle le stator ou le rotor est constitué d'un noyau toroïdal (1) fabriqué dans un matériau conducteur magnétique et présentant, entre des segments agissant comme pôles magnétiques (4) et selon une répartition régulière, des évidements (2) ou des zones (7) formant des méandres en saillie ou en retrait dans le sens radial. Des segments d'enroulement (3) d'au moins un enroulement ayant un axe d'enroulement situé dans le sens circonférentiel du stator ou du rotor sont enroulés dans ces évidements ou ces zones. Les distances entre des aimants permanents (5) de polarité contraire ou des pôles électriquement excités générant le champ d'excitation correspondent pratiquement à la taille des espaces interpolaires dans le stator ou le rotor. La machine selon l'invention présente un rapport puissance/masse significativement amélioré.

Abstract: Zur in vitro Verrnehrung von Zellen, welche auf einer Kulturfläche wachsen, wird vorgeschlagen, die Zellen auf Kulturflächen (1) auszusäen und in Kulturmedium zu kultivieren, wobei die Kulturfläche kontinuierlich oder periodisch vergrössert wird, ohne dass sie aus dem Kulturmedium entfernt wird. Für diese Kulturflächenvergrösserung werden die Zellen nicht von der Kulturfläche abgelöst und wird die Kulturfläche zwischen den Zellen vergrössert. Es können aber auch mindestens ein Teil der Zellen abgelöst werden und die Kulturfläche durch Überflutung weiterer Kulturflächenbereiche vergrössert werden. Die Kulturfläche einer beispielhaften Vorrichtung für die genannte Zellvermehrung ist die eine Seite einer expandierbaren Membran (6), die dadurch vergrössert wird, dass auf ihrer anderen Seite der Druck verändert wird. Die Zellvermehrung kann ohne manuelles Passagieren durchgeführt werden. Sie belastet die Zellen weniger als bekannte Zellvermehrungsverfahren und ist einfacher automatisierbar.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for recommending items of interest to a user, such as television program recommendations, before a viewing history or purchase history of the user is available. A third party viewing or purchase history is processed to generate stereotype profiles that reflect the typical patterns of items selected by representative viewers. A user can select the most relevant stereotype(s) from the generated stereotype profiles and thereby initialize his or her profile with the items that are closest to his or her own interests. A clustering routine partitions the third party viewing or purchase history (the data set) into clusters using a k-means clustering algorithm, such that points (e.g., television programs) in one cluster are closer to the mean of that cluster than any other cluster. A mean computation routine computes the symbolic mean of a cluster. For an item -based mean computation, the distance computation between two items is performed on the item level and the resultant cluster mean is made up of the feature values of the selected mean item. Thus, the one or more items that exhibit the minimum variance are selected as the mean of that cluster.

Abstract: A high speed system for embedding antenna wire within a non-conductive (e.g. plastic) sheet on which electronic chips are mounted for manufacturing a plurality of smart cards, or the like. The antenna wire is installed in the non-conductive sheet by an ultrasonic actuator that is moved up and down relative to the sheet. The movement of the actuator relative to the substrate is controlled by the interaction between a stationary voicecoil magnet and a voicecoil that is coupled to the ultrasonic actuator and moveable with the slide assembly. Antenna wire is fed to the ultrasonic actuator from an antenna wire dispensing spool via an idler assembly. The idler assembly includes an encoder which is responsive to an increase in tension in the antenna wire feed line. Depending upon the output of the encoder, the speed and rotation of the wire dispensing spool is controlled until the tension in the antenna wire feed line is eliminated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un élément de traitement de signal destiné à une application haute fréquence, permettant de réduire au minimum la distorsion introduite dans un signal d'entrée par un amplificateur principal. La distorsion produite dans l'amplificateur principal est présente dans un signal de retour provenant de l'entrée de l'amplificateur principal et également dans un signal principal provenant de la sortie de l'amplificateur principal. Le signal de retour est isolé du signal d'entrée pour former un signal d'erreur, puis soumis à un traitement en amplitude et en phase. Une comparaison du signal principal et du signal d'erreur au niveau d'un coupleur permet d'obtenir un signal de sortie linéarisé dont tous les produits d'intermodulation ont été éliminés. L'amplificateur peut éventuellement être remplacé par d'autres dispositifs à hautes fréquences non linéaires, tels qu'un mélangeur ou un contrôleur de gain/phase.

Abstract: A high-molecular flocculant rendered water-soluble by
conversion of cyano groups contained in a high-molecular material,
a method for producing the flocculant, and a method for efficiently
processing water using the flocculant. A high-molecular material
containing acrylonitrile as a monomer is processed safely to impart
hydrophilicity to the material and the resulting product is used for
water processing to contribute to environmental conservation. An
amino compound is added to a cyano group containing high-molecular
material to convert at least a portion of the cyano group
(-C≡N) into a molecular structure portion having an imidamino
structure and, if necessary, to convert at least the portion into one
of an acid salt, a quaternary ammonium salt or a hydrolyzate
structure portion to give a high-molecular flocculant. Alternatively,
a high-molecular material having cyano groups is hydrolysed to
convert the cyano group into carbamoyl groups, carboxylic groups
or their salts to give a high-molecular flocculant. This high-molecular
flocculant is charged alone or in combination with
commercial flocculants into the water for processing.

Abstract: An arrangement and a computer program product, for providing seamless IP
mobility across a security boundary between two domains, secure domain (105)
and insecure domain (107), is described. The invention comprises a novel
architecture of known network infrastructure components, inner system home agent (130)
and outer system home agent (102) along with enabling client software on the user device (103).
The specific client software as well as the novel architecture represents the invention.
Unlike state-of-art today, the method is based on the combined use of independent
IP mobility systems in each of the two domains. The key to the invention is client
software being able to operate with both mobility systems simultaneously. Moreover,
communication takes place in such a way that the ordinary remote access security solution
is in control of all access to the secure home domain of the user. The resulting method
provides secure and seamless IP mobility in any domain with independent choice of mobility
and security technologies. The invention does not require any significant changes
(adaptations nor extensions) to any IP mobility or security technology beyond existing
or upcoming standards. Nor does it require any significant changes to existing
infrastructure components. The mobility client software is the only component
that is affected, thus making the method client-centric, as opposed to a network-centric
approach that is otherwise the alternative. The invention applies both for the current
IPv4 family of standards as well as the forthcoming IPv6 family of standards.
The invention applies in particular for the Mobile IP and IPSec VPN standards
but is not restricted to these technologies. The invention is applicable for
any IP mobility and IP security protocols as long as they are based on the
same set of underlying principles.
