Abstract: A testing and cut-off device for a telephone or computer line to connect two incoming strands to two outgoing strands, comprises a testing well inside which are located a first couple of terminals corresponding to the two incoming strands and a second couple of terminals corresponding to the two outgoing strands, and a pivotal cover for closing the well. These two couples of terminals are insulated from one another, when the cover is open. Each terminal is accessible from the outside by a testing plug. The device further comprises electrical contacts in the cover for interconnecting the terminals when the cover is closed. Said interconnection means in the pivotal cover also comprise means for galvanically linking the latter with an additional electrical component outside the well when the cover is closed.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de refroidissement, et plus particulièrement un appreil et un procédé de refroidissement de l'air rejeté d'une enceinte, qui permettent à l'enceinte de présenter une charge thermique neutre dans une chambre qui la contient. Le refroidissement de l'air rejeté supprime la nécessité d'augmenter la capacité de conditionnement de l'air ambiant de façon à tenir compte de la chaleur ajoutée à la chambre par le dispositif électronique installé dans l'enceinte. L'appareil et le procédé de l'invention réduisent en outre la possibilité de condensation de l'humidité à l'intérieur de l'enceinte, ce qui donne un système de refroidissement plus efficient que ceux obtenus par des dispositifs et techniques antérieurs.

Abstract: A sliding-window multi-carrier communication system is described, wherein the carriers are orthogonal in a local sense, but not necessarily in a global sense. In one embodiment, the system allows a reduction of the length of the basis function time as compared to conventional OFDM systems. In some circumstances, the symbol time can be reduced almost to the basis function length even though the delay spread from channel-to-channel is significant. In one embodiment, a discrete Fourier transform DFT is used in the sliding-window receiver. In one embodiment, the DFT produces M outputs (one output for each of M channels) for each time-domain input. In one embodiment, the DFT produces outputs for M channels from N samples, where N is a basis function length. In one embodiment, the sliding-window receiver provides an adjustable basis-function length. In one embodiment, the basis-function length can be separately selected for each channel. In one embodiment, the sliding-window receiver provides independent equalization for each channel by extracting equalization information from a packet header.

Abstract: A secondary station has a receiver capable of resolving signals received (504,510) as a plurality of multipath signals from a plurality of base stations during a soft handover process. In order to decode and act upon the received signals in a very short period of time, an initial subset of received multipath signals is processed (506) to provide an estimate of the action needing to be taken by the station, which action is then implemented by the station (508). Later arriving signals are processed separately (512) and used to update the estimate, as a result of which the action already taken may be corrected (514). Such a secondary station is particularly suitable for decoding and acting upon power control commands included in received signals in a UMTS system, for which a very limited period of time is provided by the UMTS specification.

Granted: 2006-11-15
Abstract: Catheters and methods for their use are presented that provide automated delivery of cells to structures in the body such as degenerative or weak muscle. The catheters contain one or more sensing components and a system for delivery of cells such as autologous myogenic cells. The sensing component(s) triggers automatic discharge of the cells upon detection of a body surface that needs repair. The discharge of cells may occur through an automated lancing mechanism that alleviates operator error from manual injection timing. During use, an operator can position the catheter end to a structure in need of cellular repair, and the device can automatically discharge cells at a location and time as determined by conditions sensed at the catheter end. A catheter and system is particularly useful for repair of degenerative and or weak heart muscle, such as that found after a myocardial infarct. The catheters and methods of their use also may be used for cellular repair of other interior body structures, particularly muscles such as bladder, intestine, stomach and diaphram. The catheters provide greater use of myogenic cell therapy for heart disease, while avoiding complications of open heart surgery.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés d'actionnement de soupape de moteurs hydrauliques destinés à des moteurs à combustion interne. Ces systèmes font appel à une soupape proportionnelle de manière à réguler l'écoulement d'un fluide de travail jusqu'à et depuis un actionneur hydraulique commandant la position de la soupape du moteur. La position de la soupape proportionnelle est commandée par des soupapes à vitesse rapide afin de commander plusieurs paramètres des soupapes du moteur, notamment les vitesses de décollage et d'atterrissage des soupapes du moteur. Le retour de toutes les soupapes à une position de départ connue entre des évènements de soupape du moteur permet d'éviter l'accumulation d'erreurs dans le positionnement de la soupape proportionnelle. L'invention concerne également des modes de réalisation faisant appel à des distributeurs à tiroir cylindrique pour les soupapes à vitesse rapide et pour la soupape proportionnelle, ainsi qu'au rappel par ressort et au rappel hydraulique de la soupape du moteur. Un tiroir cylindrique ayant une forme spéciale, dans la soupape proportionnelle, permet d'obtenir un meilleur contrôle du fonctionnement de la soupape du moteur.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transform coding method efficient for music signals that is suitable for use in a hybrid codec, whereby a common Linear Predictive (LP) synthesis filter is employed for both speech and music signals. The LP synthesis filter switches between a speech excitation generator and a transform excitation generator, in accordance with the coding of a speech or music signal, respectively. For coding speech signals, the conventional CELP technique may be used, while a novel asymmetrical overlap-add transform technique is applied for coding music signals. In performing the common LP synthesis filtering, interpolation of the LP coefficients is conducted for signals in overlap-add operation regions. The invention enables smooth transitions when the decoder switches between speech and music decoding modes. <IMAGE>
