Patent EP-1171793-B1 (EP)
Inventor: DULTZ WOLFGANG
IPC: G03B21/14

Granted: 2002-10-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for reducing the speckle that is formed on a projection display when a coherent light source (1) is used. Before being projected, the light coming from the light source strikes an electrically controllable optical element (4) with a spatially inhomogeneous index of refraction and penetrates said optical element, whereby the index of refraction within the period of projection is temporally altered. This leads to the averaging out of the speckle pattern on the projection screen (6). A multimode light source is preferably used for illumination and/or the light coming from the light source is split into several spatial modes in order to increase the effect. The light from the light source is preferably split by being coupled into a multimode light-conducting fibre. Said optical element is advantageously a liquid crystal element consisting of at least two liquid crystal layers, to which a position-dependent voltage is applied in order to produce a position-dependent index of refraction and whose birefringence is compensated by the appropriate alignment of the layers in relation to each other.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de radiocommunications possédant un canal d'accès aléatoire destiné à l'émission de données d'une station secondaire vers une station primaire alors que la station secondaire n'est pas occupée dans une communication. Une station secondaire souhaitant utiliser une ressource de canal d'accès aléatoire émet un préambule codé doté d'une signature correspondant à la ressource requise. En réponse, la station primaire peut émettre un accusé de réception positif correspondant au préambule reçu, indiquant qu'un canal est disponible, ou bien un accusé de réception négatif, indiquant que la ressource n'est pas disponible. Un premier ensemble de signatures est utilisé afin de coder des accusés de réception positifs et un second ensemble de signatures l'est pour coder des accusés de réception négatifs. Les deux ensembles de signatures possèdent la propriété rendant compte qu'une absence de signature dans un ensemble est l'inverse d'une signature dans l'autre ensemble, ce qui permet d'éviter la possibilité d'une émission simultanée d'accusés de réception positif et négatif avec des signatures inverses l'une de l'autre.

Abstract: An electro-acoustic communications unit (10) such as a mobile telephone and a telephone handset or headset. The unit has a receiver transducer (12) generating sound signals from a first side (15) of the transducer, and the sound signals are output from the unit through one or more openings (17) in the housing (11). The transducer (12) is secured to a structure of the unit with its first side facing away from that structure. The transducer can thereby be placed at any desired location in the unit including in particular other structures than the housing wall, and a volume in the housing is included in the sound path from the transducer to the user's ear. The telephone can thus be very compact and still be leak-tolerant.

Abstract: The technique of amplifier sharing is implemented in a system designed to accommodate transmit diversity. In one embodiment of the invention, the amplifiers (670 and 675) are shared 1) to amplify a first and a second diversity-encoded signal, each of which represents the information of a first signal that is to be transmitted using transmit diversity, and 2) to amplify a second signal to be transmitted without using transmit diversity. The first and second diversity-encoded signals are used to form a first and a second composite signal. Each composite signal is amplified in a different one of two power amplifiers (670 and 675). Each amplified composite signal is then used to form an amplified first diversity-encoded signal and an amplified second diversity-encoded signal. The first and second composite signals can also be formed using the second signal. Each composite signal is then amplified in a different one of the two power amplifiers (670 and 675) and the two amplified composite signals are used to form an amplified second signal. In another embodiment of the invention, the first and second composite signals can be formed in the digital domain. Each composite signal is digitally pre-distorted and then modulated onto a transmission frequency signal, such as an RF signal. Each pre-distorted composite signal is then amplified in the respective amplifier (670 and 675). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved brassiere is disclosed that provides a high level of comfort, wide ranging adjustability and improved breast support while minimizing fatigue and improving the posture of the user using a support system which includes strategically attached shoulder straps which cross in the back at a unique swivel. Each shoulder strap is detachably attached at one end to the top of a breast cup, and attached at the opposite end to the side of the opposite cup. An adjustable coupling is provided between the cups. The adjustable swivel includes a pair of pivotally attached short flat hollow sleeves for slidably receiving the shoulder straps. Because the shoulder straps are slidably disposed in the sleeves of the swivel, it will move up or down slightly as the wearer moves, stretches, bends over, etc. In the preferred embodiment, no boning, wire or elastic is used. Instead, cotton piping is used around the lower breast cups for support, wide cotton belting is used for the straps, and the entire framework of the brassiere is constructed of a sturdy cotton fabric that is interlined with fusible fleece and lined with cotton flannel for comfort.
