Abstract: Controlling margins in a DSL modem pair is based on collected operational data. The operational data is analyzed and at least one of the modems in the modem pair is instructed to use a margin-related parameter value to assist the modem pair in meeting a margin target, such as a margin limit imposed by a DSL  standard or the like. A controller, such as a DSM Center, a "smart" modem unit and/or a computer system can collect and analyze the operational data and generate one or more margin-related parameter values. The margin-related parameter value may be a PSD-related value, such as the MAXNOMPSD, MAXNOMATP  or PSDMASK parameter used by various ADSL systems, and may be a shaped spectral mask and/or caps or limits on bit loading for use in transmissions between the modems. In some cases, preference bands can be imposed to direct modems to favor and/or avoid certain frequencies in the modem's usable band(s). The operational data may include historical data relating to prior performance of the modem pair and prior margin compliance. A distribution of margins also may be based on operational data and may be estimated as a function of data rate. Using the estimated margin distribution, a distribution of performance parameters also is calculated, including the probabilities of line outages and probabilities of one or more error parameters exceeding minimum levels. Data rates and/or performance-related parameters may be set on the basis of the estimated performance of the system using various margin settings and levels.

Abstract: A light emitting diode lighting device and system that can be used for illuminating the interior and/or exterior of vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, signage or buildings is provided. It includes a voltage feedback constant current power supply circuitry and high power LEDs. The printed circuit assemblies are firmly mounted onto a continuous or semi-continuous mounting channel case that also works as a heat sink. By this means, it not only increases the reliability of the LED lighting tube but also it provides sufficient heat dissipation capability for the heat generated by the LEDs. Since the operating temperature of the LEDs is controlled and stays in cool condition, it dramatically increases the LED's lifetime and efficiency. The end caps of this LED lighting device are fully compatible with existing conventional fluorescent light fixtures and can directly replace those fluorescent lighting tubes in vehicles, mass-transit, watercrafts, aircrafts, signage or buildings with minimal modifications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the non-destructive examination of a test body by means of ultrasound, whereby ultrasound waves are injected into the test body by means of one or more ultrasound transducers and ultrasound waves reflected inside the test body are received by a plurality of ultrasound transducers and are converted to ultrasound signals. The ultrasound signals are detected in individual measurement intervals and are stored individually and are accessible to offline evaluation after termination of the measurements. The inventive method allows to subsequently synthesize any acoustic irradiation angle and focusing in the physically possible volume range of the test body from the stored ultrasound signals by using corresponding reconstruction algorithms, thereby eliminating the need for additional ultrasound measurements.
