Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à déterminer le rayon de courbure d'une roue de véhicule, destinés à être utilisés pour le réglage et pour d'autres opérations de diagnostic ou d'entretien. On fixe une cible pouvant être balayée optiquement à une roue du véhicule. On effectue une mesure dans une première position au moyen d'un système de vision artificiel, tel qu'un mécanisme de réglage tridimensionnel. Le véhicule est mis en mouvement sur une courte distance, puis une seconde mesure est effectuée. Les différences linéaires et angulaires entre les valeurs de la première et de la seconde mesure sont utilisées pour calculer et enregistrer une valeur de rayon de courbure. Les valeurs de réglage résultant du réglage du véhicule motorisé sont modifiées sur la base des valeurs de rayon de courbure. On peut également obtenir et enregistrer une valeur d'angle plan destinée à ajuster les valeurs de réglage.

Abstract: An electrical device for evaporating a volatile liquid (for example an air freshener) into a room employs a wick (14) which extends upwardly from a container of the volatile liquid. A ring heater (16) is in the vicinity of the end of the wick and assists the evaporation. Vapor escapes from the device through an aperture (10) in a casing above the wick. The vapor emission rate is controlled by a user, who operates a control member in the casing, to alter the vertical position of a tubular body (18). Vapor may flow from the wick to the exterior through the tubular body (18) and then through the aperture (10). However, in all positions of the tubular body vapor may also flow to the aperture, and thence to the exterior, by an auxiliary route, not through the tubular body. It is found that the provision of this auxiliary route for vapor significantly improves the performance of the device. The tubular body (18) may have an upper surface (31) comprising a wall (32) and apertures (33). The wall (32) together with the apertures (33) ensures that any non-evaporated volatile liquid is directed back towards the heater.

Abstract: There is provided a data communication apparatus and method in a multi-carrier CDMA communication system. A transmitting device determines whether a supplemental channel is transmitted. If the supplemental channel is transmitted, the transmitting device assigns the supplemental channel to each of all FAs having different carrier frequency bands and the other channels including a fundamental channel, a dedicated control channel, and a common control channel to one of the FAs. A receiving device determines whether the supplemental channel exists in input channel signals. If the supplemental channel exists, the receiving device despreads supplemental channel signals in each of the FAs, connects the despread supplemental channel signals to a supplemental channel decoder, despreads the other channels in one of the FAs, and connects the other channel signals to corresponding channel decoders.

Abstract: To minimize power dissipation in a line driver (3) in a central office (CO) for driving a DSL connection to a network terminal (NT) with a predetermined maximum constellation size, the central office (CO) supplies the line driver (3) with a predetermined supply voltage during a training sequence, and transfers data with a predetermined power spectral density in all available channels. The network terminal (NT) measures the signal-to-noise ratio of each channel, and transfers information to the central office (CO) about channels having signal-to-noise ratios that enable transfer of data. The central office (CO) reduces the power spectral density to a lowest possible value that still enables transfer of data in all channels having signal-to-noise ratios above a predetermined threshold as set by the maximum constellation size, calculates a sum of power to be transmitted in said channels, converts said sum into a corresponding line driver output voltage, and reduces the line driver supply voltage in correspondence thereto.

Title: Optical noninvasive blood pressure sensor and method of calibration
Inventor: KHAIR MOHAMMAD
IPC: A61B5/021
Filed: 2001-05-10
Granted: 2008-04-09
Abstract: A blood pressure sensor includes a source of photo-radiation, such as an array of laser diodes. The sensor also includes a two-dimensional, flexible reflective surface. The reflective surface is nominally positioned relative to the radiation source such that the radiation travels in a direction normal to the reflective surface. The reflective surface is placed adjacent to the location on the patient where the blood pressure data is to be acquired. Radiation from the source is reflected off of the reflective surface onto a two-dimensional array of photo-detectors. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure fluctuations in the patient are translated into deflections of the patient's skin. These deflections cause corresponding deflections in the two dimensional reflective surface. The associated movement of said flexible reflective surface due to blood pulsation causes scattering patterns from said reflective surface to be detected by the two dimensional array of photo-detectors. The output from the array of photo-detectors is calibrated to blood pressure in mmHg during a calibration procedure to obtain a set of calibration relationships for one or more of the individual detectors. The calibration relationship are then used during acquisition of blood pressure data to arrive at blood pressure data.
