Patent EP-1430408-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NIEUWLAND ANDRE K
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: The electronic device (10) has a data communication bus (12) consisting of a plurality of substantially parallel conductors (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d). A control circuit (14) controls the values driven onto the conductors (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d). Transition dependent delay elements (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) are coupled between the control circuit (14) and the respective conductors (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) to delay certain transitions on the data communication bus 12. In particular, one of the opposite transitions on neighboring conductors e.g. a first conductor (12a) and a second conductor (12b) is delayed, thus reducing the power required to charge the mutual capacitance between the first conductor (12a) and the second conductor (12b). Consequently, a data communication bus (12) with reduced power consumption is obtained.

Inventor: BOUNAIX FABRICE MARCEL S
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: A device for performing gas absorption spectroscopy comprises a Herriott type multipass cell (10) having a center axle (74) and a housing (80A,80B) surrounding and spaced from the axle to provide a tubular sample cavity (84). The gas sample is pumped through the sample cavity via apertures (154,156) provided in opposed ends of the axle. A first mirror (44) and a second mirror (46) are supported at opposed ends of the axle. A light source e.g a laser or LED, is provided for emitting a light beam into the sample cavity via an entry aperture (30) in the first mirror, the light beam having a wave-length at which the preselected gas strongly absorbs. The beam is reflected between the mirrors for a number of times before exiting the cell via an exit aperture (48) in the second mirror and impinging on a detector (52). The device further comprises a reference detector (32) for monitoring the intensity of the unattenuated light beam and a detector for detecting the intensity of light transmitted through the second mirror after a single pass through the cell. The light source is operatively connected to a heat control assembly having a heat sink and the gas sample is passed past said heat sink to augment temperature control of the light source.

Title: Method for standardizing the operation control of mobile radio terminals
Inventor: HOLTSTIEGE ULRICH
IPC: H04M1/72469
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for standardizing the operation control of mobile radio terminals. According to the invention, an MMI client is installed in the mobile radio terminal, which communicates with an MMI server of a mobile radio network via a radio interface. In the MMI client, various operation procedures for carrying out functions of the mobile radio terminal are filed and the execution of the selected functions proceeds either on the terminal level by means of functional procedures filed in the mobile radio terminal and/or on the network level by means of functional procedures filed in the MMI server. The advantage of the invention is thus the fact that a subscriber to a mobile radio network does not have to acquire new operation procedures when changing to a different mobile radio terminal. The generic procedures can be tailored to the offer of the respective mobile radio network operator.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de transfert de signaux entre des antennes réseau à commande de phase. Ce système d'antennes réseau à commande de phase reçoit et démodule des signaux au moyen d'un récepteur. Les antennes réseau à commande de phase sont commandées électroniquement par un contrôleur. Une matrice de commutation d'antennes du contrôleur fait une sélection entre des signaux en provenance d'une antenne rendant la main et une antenne prenant la main. Un comparateur de phase compare les deux signaux et génère un signal d'erreur de phase proportionnel à la différence entre les angles de phase des deux signaux. On définit une différence d'erreur de phase négligeable selon laquelle un transfert d'antenne peut se produire sans provoquer la perte de verrouillage de phase concernant le signal d'antenne prenant la main. Lorsque le contrôle d'antenne signale un transfert et que l'erreur de phase est égale à la différence d'erreur de phase négligeable, un commutateur rapide effectue le transfert. Pour contrôler la consommation de courant, on demande l'alimentation d'une seule antenne à la fois.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a direct strand reduction installation for producing a metal strip, in particular a hot-rolled steel strip consisting of a continuous cast pre-strip, on pass lines comprising blooming trains (2) and finishing trains (3). According to the invention, the changeover from the blooming train (2) into the finishing train (3) is achieved in an energy saving manner and without additional equipment. To achieve this, the cast strand in the blooming train (2), which has a direct connection to a run-out of the continuous casting installation (1), is rolled to form a pre-strip and is subsequently coiled in a winding coil box (4) and only the thermal losses of the coils are compensated in relation to the initial pass temperature, by heating the coils in a continuous furnace (7).

Abstract: A system and a method to control the motion of envelopes within a postage
printing module to accommodate the use of slower print techniques and to achieve
high throughput in a mail processing system. Envelopes transported in a mail
processing system are diverted into two or more parallel print paths. At the parallel
postage printing modules envelopes are processed according to a motion profile in
which the envelope is decelerated from a transport velocity to a slower printing
velocity. After the printing operation has been completed, the envelope is accelerated
back to the transport velocity and transferred to a downstream module, where the
parallel print paths are merged back into a single print path. The print head is
preferably geared to operate in synchronism with the print transport. Further, upon the
occurrence of an error condition, such as a jam, the print transports for the parallel
paths are decelerated to a stop in such a manner as to preserve the spacing between
subsequent envelopes to be the same as if no error condition had occurred.
Displacement motion of the print transport during a stoppage or restarting is therefore
controlled as a predetermined function, or set of functions, of the displacement of other
modules in the system.

Abstract: A print timing signal is generated which has
1/n the previous cycle of the encoder output. The
print processing based on this print timing signal
allows the actual print processing to extend into
the next encoder cycle when the encoder cycle
varies due to carriage speed variations and other
causes, and corrects the print start trigger of
the next cycle and the print timing cycle on the
basis of a time difference (ΔT) by which the
actual print processing extends into the next
encoder cycle. When performing printing with high
resolution in particular, this printing apparatus
generates precise print timings, thereby improving
the print position accuracy of the print head and
performing high quality printing.

Abstract: A cartridge comprises a pair of housing portions having an opening
at a seam formed between the housing portions, a memory chip accessible via the
opening to permit electrical contact to be made with the memory chip, and a
protuberance projecting from one of the housing portions and welded to the other
housing portion within a cavity of the other housing portion. Since a flash which
is formed at the weld can spread towards the seam including in the vicinity of the
opening, the protuberance and the cavity are mutually dimensioned to restrict the
flash substantially to within the cavity. This prevents the flash from spreading
into the seam and bulging outward at least in the vicinity of the opening, which
could interfere with formation of the seam and making electrical contact with the
memory chip.
