Abstract: Telephone apparatus (101) enables the approximately simultaneous transmission and reception of audio (e.g. from 251) interleaved with image (e.g. from 231) and graphical annotation (e.g. from 233) signals, in data packet form, over an analog line (102) which connects the apparatus to a switched telephone network (103). The audio data packets are transmitted at a periodic rate, during a first time interval, and the image and annotation data packets are transmitted during a second time interval, following the first time interval, enabling the simultaneous output of voice, image and annotation data at the receiver site. Control data packets, as needed, are also transmitted during the second time interval for end-to-end apparatus control. One feature enables the transmission of audio data packets at a first periodic rate, when in an image transmission mode, and at a second periodic rate, faster than the first periodic rate, when not in the image transmission mode.

Abstract: A dental prophylaxis and water conservation device for in-home use. The device includes a tank coupled to the household water supply line and adapted to receive water which causes air contained within the tank to be pressurized. The water and air from within the tank are connected by lines to a handplece which discharges both mediums simultaneously. Water leaving the tank passes through a container having an abrasive material which is picked up by the water and also discharged. The tank is further coupled to a plumbing fixture, such as a shower head. This enables the tank to be used as a water conservation device by allowing cold water to be purged from a hot water line into the tank, and subsequently used to provide water to the plumbing fixture. To recycle the purged water, the present invention entrains the water from within the tank as water from the supply line is being provided to the plumbing fixture.

Abstract: To prevent concentration of load in a certain semiconductor power switching element. A diagnosis circuit (PC) of a module (10a or 10b) compares a sensing signal (SSE) for example, which is sent out from a sensing circuit (Se) and is proportional to the collector current of an IGBT element, with a reference voltage, and judges presence or absence of abnormality in the collector current. If abnormal, a shutdown signal (S SD ) is sent out to a shutdown circuit (SD), and the IGBT element is cut off, and simultaneously an abnormality detection signal (S F01  or S F02 ) is sent out to the other module (10b or 10a). The diagnosis circuit (PC of the module (10b or 10a) receives the abnormality detection signal (S F01  or S F02 ), and sends out the shutdown signal (S SD ) to the shutdown circuit (SD), thereby shutting down the IGBT element. Since the transmission timing of both shutdown signals (S SD ) coincides, the both IGBT elements are cut off at the same time. Therefore, due to earlier shutdown of one IGBT element, concentration of load in the other delayed IGBT element may be avoided.

Abstract: In a system with a spread spectrum transmitter and receiver employing composite spreading codes, the transmitter spreads, in a spreading part, a baseband modulated signal by a short code from a short code generator and a long code from a long code generator with a longer chip period than that of the short code and then transmits the spread baseband modulated signal. The receiver despreads a spread baseband received signal in a receiving part by a pair of short and long codes in one despreading part to obtain a baseband modulated signal of a direct path and despreads the spread baseband received signal by the pair of short and long codes delayed by a multipath delay time difference in the other despreading part to obtain a baseband modulated signal of a delayed path, and the baseband modulated signals thus obtained are diversity-detected to obtain a detected baseband signal.

L'utilisateur peut n'avoir aucune connaissance des autres langues. Chaque document de la base de données est soumis à un ensemble de phases de traitement dans le but de produire une représentation conceptuelle, non liée à une langue, du contenu dudit document. Ceci est normalement effectué avant que l'interrogation ne soit entrée. L'interrogation est également soumise à un ensemble (éventuellement différent) de phases de traitement dans le but de produire une représentation conceptuelle, non liée à une langue, du contenu de l'interrogation. On peut également soumettre interrogations et documents à une analyse supplémentaire afin de disposer de représentations terminologiques supplémentaires, notamment une extraction des termes et expressions riches en information (tels que les noms propres). Les documents sont mis en correspondance avec les interrogations sur la base de leurs contenus de niveau conceptuel, et éventuellement sur la base de la représentation terminologique. La représentation de l'interrogation est ensuite comparée à la représentation de chaque document de manière à produire une mesure du rapport existant entre le document et l'interrogation.
