Abstract: Transmitting to a user an advertisement when the user is
initially establishing communication with an Internet provider via a digital
switching system. A server within the digital switching system transmits
the advertisement. This advertisement may take a multitude of forms
including a multimedia message that includes sound and video. In
addition, when the user transfers from one web site to another web site, a
server within the digital switching system responds to this action by
transmitting an advertisement to the user until the new web site responds.
The digital switching system may be a broadband hybrid optical cable
digital switching system. In addition, the digital switching system may also
be an all digital fiber system which provides optical fiber directly to the
home or office of the user. The server in the digital switching network can
send additional information if a customer indicates during the transmission
of an advertisement that they wish additional information from the
advertiser. The ability of an advertiser to pinpoint the recipients of their
advertisements so precisely will make the capability extremely valuable for
advertisers.
Patent EP-1045237-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UCHIYAMA HARUYOSHI
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical-fiber characteristics measuring
apparatus that does not require frequency conversion of pulse light which enters an optical
fiber to be measured, and does not restrict the cycle period of the pulse light, thereby
ensuring fast measuring of the characteristics of the optical fiber. This apparatus
comprises an optical directional coupler (2), an optical pulse generator (3), a balanced-light
reception circuit (10), a signal generation section (20) and a mixer (23). The optical
directional coupler (2) branches coherent light into first and second coherent lights. The
optical pulse generator (3) converts the first coherent light (2a) into pulse light (3a) which
in turn enters an optical fiber (8) to be measured. Returned light (6b) whose frequency is
shifted from that of the first coherent light (2a) by a predetermined frequency through
reflection and scattering in the optical fiber (8) to be measured enters the balanced-light
reception circuit (10). The balanced-light reception circuit carries out balanced-light
reception of the second coherent light and the returned light and converts the resultant
light into an electric signal (12a). The signal generation section (20) generates an RF
(Radio Frequency) signal whose frequency is equal to the predetermined frequency. The
mixer (23) mixes the electric signal (13a) and the RF signal (21a) to thereby detect the
shifted frequency.

Abstract: A method for preserving the alveolar ridge surrounding a presently extracted root socket by backfilling the socket with bone graft material and installing an implant in the root socket area either immediately before backfilling or after backfilling and a delay in which new bone is allowed to grow into the bone graft material. In one embodiment, the dental implant is installed apically into the root socket immediately following root extraction. The open area of the root socket surrounding the implant is then backfilled with bone graft material immediately after implant placement. The implant is preferably a threaded implant (but it can be a cylinder-type) which is placed approximately three to six millimeters apically to said root socket. The bone graft material comprises synthetic bone alloplast such as Bioplant(R) HTR(R) and is hydrated using the patient's own blood obtained from the patient's bleeding extraction socket after penetration but prior to insertion of the bone graft material and the implant into said root socket. As an alternate embodiment, the presently extracted root socket is filled with bone graft material and primary or non-primary closure of the extraction site is performed. Bone-growth is promoted in the root socket by the bone graft material for 2-12 months. Then, after sufficient bone growth has been promoted, an implant is installed in the extraction site area in the normal manner.

Abstract: In optical transmission of a radio-frequency signal such as a microwave signal and millimeter-wave signal, a radio-frequency circuit for distortion compensation results in complex adjustment and very expensive. For betterment, the radio-frequency transmitter with the function of distortion compensation of the present invention takes the following structure. 
     An electrical signal is branched into two by a branch part, and one of the resulting electrical signals is converted into an optical signal by a first optical transmission part. The optical signal is then branched into two by a first coupler. One of the resulting optical signals is converted into an electrical signal in a first optical-electrical conversion part. Based on this electrical signal and the other of the electrical signals branched by the branch part, a distortion component is extracted as a differential component. In a second optical transmission part, the distortion component is then inverted in phase, and then converted into an optical signal. A delay part delays the other of the optical signals branched by the first coupler by a predetermined length of time, and the delayed optical signal is coupled with the optical signal outputted from the second optical transmission part in a second coupler.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus designed to easily and precisely drive a brushless motor by means of
sensorless controlling even in a low-speed range. When the motor (1) at rest is started, phase
excitation is performed twice such that two different phases are excited. A commutation
reference point is set at a position at which the rotor has stopped after the second-time
excitation. A position detector outputs pulses in response to a movement of an object driven by
the motor (1). The pulses output from the position detector are monitored and commutation is
controlled on the basis of the number of pulse edges as counted starting from the commutation
reference point. For example, the number of pulse edges output during a period starting from the
commutation reference point and ending at a point of time at which commutation should be
performed is measured in advance. When the number of pulse edges with reference to the
commutation reference point becomes equal to the above predetermined number, it is determined
that commutation timing has reached, and commutation is performed.

Abstract: A pacemaker or other cardiac stimulation device (10) is configured
to predict the onset of vasovagal syncope and administers pacing therapy
to prevent the syncope from occurring. Prediction of the onset of
vasovagal syncope is based upon an analysis of the contractility of the
heart muscle. In an example described herein, the contractility of the
heart muscle is detected and compared with the average contractility. If
the current contractility exceeds the average contractility by a
predetermined threshold, a high risk of vasovagal syncope is thereby
detected and the heart is paced at a vasovagal syncope prevention rate
which may be, for example, 20 to 40 beats per minute faster than a
previous heart rate. The contractility of the heart is determined, for
example, by measuring the impedance of the heart tissue or by
measuring the movement of heart tissue in the wall of the heart or by
pressure using an accelerometer. The contractility is averaged over a
period of time to determine the average contractility.

Abstract: A system for dual thresholding digital barcode processing. A light reflected
from a barcode is captured by a photodetector to produce a photocurrent. The
photocurrent is converted to a voltage, amplified and filtered to produce a photovoltage.
The photovoltage is differentiated to form a first derivative signal and the first
derivative signal is converted to a digital first derivative signal and processed to
identify logic transitions represented by the barcode. The processing system subjects
the photosignal to Gaussian filtering and differentiates the digital first derivative signal
to form a second derivative signal. The digital first derivative signal is compared
against a positive and a negative threshold and the second derivative signal is examined
to detect zero crossings. When a positive peak of the first derivative exceeds the
positive threshold and the second derivative undergoes a negative zero crossing within
a predetermined time before or after the positive peak exceeds the positive threshold, a
negative logic transition is identified. When a negative peak of the first derivative
exceeds the negative threshold and the second derivative undergoes a positive zero
crossing within a predetermined time before or after the first derivative exceeds the
negative threshold, a positive logic transition is identified.
