Patent EP-0877347-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANDERSON DONALD D
IPC: G08B29/18
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: An alarm system which incorporates a plurality of highly sensitive, early
warning, smoke detectors (22) incorporates functionality for distinguishing
between detector signals in response to ambient smoke and detector signals in
response to the presence of non-smoke, fibrous materials. Detectors (22) are
spatially arranged in predetermined regions. Information concerning the
arrangement of detectors is stored in a common control unit. Additionally, a
performance history for each of the detectors is also stored in the control unit
(12). If one of the detectors exhibits a relatively large output which is large
enough to indicate a possible fire, a previously stored history from the outputs
of that detector is analyzed. If the previously stored history indicates a fire
related profile, such as a relatively gradual increase in smoke level over a period
of time, the signal from that detector is regarded as being indicative of smoke
and an alarm is indicated. If the signal from the detector shows a relatively fast
increase, from a very low level to an alarm level in a short period of time,
fibrous material may have entered the detector. The output from at least one
other detector in the same region is analyzed. If the second detector confirms the
presence of smoke, at least the first detector is regarded as indicating an alarm
condition. If the second detector does not indicate the presence of smoke, even a
very low level of smoke, the output from the first detector is regarded as being
due to a non-smoke condition, such as an intrusive fibrous material. The control
unit indicates the presence of a trouble or maintenance condition with respect to
that detector.

Abstract: In a television tuner system, a printed board is
disposed within a frame having a side plate. A tuner and an
intermediate frequency circuit are disposed adjacent to each
other on the printed board. The tuner has a mixer and a
local oscillator. The intermediate frequency circuit
includes at least a SAW filter having a plurality of
terminals. A first ground conductor is formed between the
tuner and the intermediate frequency circuit. A second
ground conductor is formed at a peripheral edge of the
printed board. The SAW filter is placed along the second
ground conductor in such a manner that the terminals of the
SAW filter are arranged substantially parallel to the side
plate. The local oscillator is disposed substantially on a
line extending from the arrangement of the terminals of the
SAW filter. With this arrangement, the distance between the
output terminals and the local oscillator is greater than
that between the input terminal and the local oscillator.
It is thus possible to inhibit local oscillation signals
from being accidentally input into the output terminals of
the SAW filter, which would otherwise cause the generation
of interruption signals, and also to maintain the
performance of the SAW filter by preserving its selectivity
characteristics.

Abstract: L'alimentation en puissance à mode commuté selon la présente invention fonctionne sur le principe du convertisseur auto-oscillant série et comporte un premier condensateur (C19) du côté primaire, auquel sont appliquées à la fois une tension modulée à la fréquence du secteur et une tension modulée à la fréquence de commutation de l'alimentation en puissance à mode commuté. Un courant qui est proportionnel à la charge et possède des harmoniques faibles est prélevé sur le secteur (UN) par l'intermédiaire du condensateur et par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit de correction de facteur de puissance (D15, L15, D17, C17), si bien que les normes futures pour les charges harmoniques sur le secteur sont respectées ou que lesdites charges sont considérablement inférieures aux normes. Le convertisseur auto-oscillant série peut, en particulier, être conçu en tant que convertisseur auto-oscillant série/parallèle, ledit convertisseur auto-oscillant oscillant essentiellement par l'intermédiaire du circuit accordé série en mode normal, et essentiellement par l'intermédiaire du circuit accordé parallèle en mode de faible puissance. Ledit convertisseur auto-oscillant série/parallèle est donc particulièrement adapté pour des dispositifs ayant un mode d'attente à faible puissance, tels que les téléviseurs ou les écrans d'ordinateur, par exemple.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés d'amélioration du tissu présentant une efficacité supérieure par rapport aux procédés de l'art antérieur. Ces procédés font appel à une canalisation mobile par rapport à un tissu transporté sous cette dernière pour conférer une faible énergie au tissu par passe, en plusieurs passes sur le tissu. Par exemple, une faible énergie par passe de 1/10 à 1/48 de l'énergie totale fournie en 10 passes, ou plus, permet d'obtenir de meilleurs résultats par rapport à l'amélioration traditionnelle obtenue avec des niveaux d'énergie totale supérieure fournie en un nombre de passe moins important. Cela se traduit par une meilleure efficacité d'amélioration et une réduction de l'énergie gaspillée, et permet également d'améliorer la couverture du tissu et de réduire son retrait. L'approche fondée sur une faible quantité d'énergie par passe et sur une approche à multiples passes peut être mise en oeuvre par un matériel amélioré dont la taille et les coûts sont réduits et qui simule un nombre de passes multiples sur le tissu. Selon un mode de réalisation, une machine transporte le tissu avec un mouvement alternatif sous une canalisation fixe, entre une paire de bobines d'enroulement/déroulement pour simuler un nombre de passes multiples sur le tissu. D'autres modes de réalisation utilisent un système de canalisation qui est animé d'un mouvement alternatif, d'une oscillation, ou d'un mouvement de rotation pour simuler plusieurs passes sur le tissu. D'autres variantes consistent à placer la canalisation en angle en formant une diagonale par rapport au sens de déplacement du tissu, à utiliser un nombre important de jets ou des doubles rangées de jets pour supprimer les motifs d'interférence, à utiliser des canalisations combinées en amont et en aval pour assurer une meilleure couverture du tissu, et à prévoir un déflecteur dans la canalisation à proximité de la rangée de jets pour générer des jets à fluctuation constante afin d'améliorer l'utilisation de l'énergie de renforcement.

Abstract: Un étudiant utilisateur d'un ordinateur client fait appel à un processus d'apprentissage pour développer ses aptitudes cognitives et un superviseur utilise un second ordinateur client pour surveiller à distance les progrès de l'étudiant. Le processus d'apprentissage présente différents types de stimuli à l'étudiant et enregistre les réponses de l'étudiant associées aux stimuli. En outre, le processus d'apprentissage forme des données d'évaluation à partir des réponses de l'étudiant, lesdites données d'évaluation représentant une corrélation entre les réponses de l'étudiant associées aux stimuli respectifs et des données de réponses correctes préétablies associées aux stimuli respectifs. En outre, le processus d'apprentissage modifie son propre comportement en fonction des données d'évaluation de manière à personnaliser le comportement du processus d'apprentissage aux aptitudes cognitives de l'étudiant. Les réponses de l'étudiant sont téléchargées dans une base de données globale des étudiants à laquelle peut accéder un superviseur. Le superviseur interroge cette base de données globale pour en extraire des réponses de l'étudiant qu'il analyse. Le superviseur peut utiliser ultérieurement cette analyse aux fins d'une consultation directe avec l'étudiant ou peut conseiller des changements de comportement du processus d'apprentissage dans le but de développer plus efficacement les aptitudes cognitives de l'étudiant.

Abstract: In order to support both signalling processing on a per channel basis and multiple adaptation protocols, an interface (10) is modularised principally by function. Incident channels (60-62, Ch 0 -Ch n ) are applied to a routing device (16) that consults a connection map (64) to determine an appropriate path, via an interface (90), for signal processing of each channel, as shown in FIG. 2. Modularised processing platforms (70-74) each contain a number of signal processors (80-86), with each processing platform providing an additional level of indirection with respect to channel handling. In this latter respect, one of the signal processors (86) on each platform is assigned to distribute channel processing to appropriately configured other ones of the signal processors and such that signal processing functions may be distributed between the other ones (80-84) of the signal processors. The present invention is particularly useful in relation to a narrowband-broadband interface to support differing adaptation protocols that require different signal processing functions and also to vary signal processing capabilities on a per call basis.

Abstract: In an apparatus for checking the condition of bank
notes, each note (46) is individually transported past a
brush (42) whose bristles (44) are in contact with one
face of the note. A piezoelectric bi-morph vibration
sensor (50) is attached to the brush, the voltage output
from the sensor being dependent on the amplitude of
vibration of the bristles of the brush brushing against a
note. The poorer the condition of a note, i.e. the
rougher that its surface is, then the greater will be the
amplitude of vibration of the bristles. Thus, from the
voltage output of the sensor (50) it can be determined
whether a note is of an acceptably good condition.
