Abstract: The invention relates to cable protection arrangements for or on conduit arrangements which are to be laid underground, can be connected to buildings or the like and consist of a plurality of conduit sections (5-8). Each conduit section consists of at least one cable protection tube (23) composed of an insulating material and of one or more conductors or cables (31) which are incorporated or drawn therein. Each individual cable protection tube is provided with an electrically conductive metallic screen (24) which, in terms of its dimensions and the specific electrical conductivity, is capable of carrying lightning current and is externally surrounded by a conductive external jacket (25). Instead of the latter, a protective layer which simultaneously forms the screen and the protective layer and consists of highly conductive plastic, can also be provided. Contacting and connecting means (32, 37) are provided for the electrical and mechanical connection of the cable protecting tubes to the conduit sections which are also formed hereby, to one another and to buildings etc. The cable protection tubes may be either integral (23) or may be composed of two shell-like halves. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods of diagnosing peripheral nerve damage, including diagnosing and monitoring chronic back and cervical pain are disclosed. The methods involve subjecting a body fluid sample from a patient suspected of having chronic lumbar or cervical pain and peripheral nerve damage to two-dimensional electrophoresis or an immunoassay and measuring relative amounts of protein or proteins which increase or decrease in concentration as compared to a standard control. A preferred method employs an Apo-E variant as a marker of peripheral nerve damage. Also disclosed are kits for use with the diagnostic methods.

Date Jul. 23, 1992.A magnetostrictive element, which may be of rectangular shape, is positioned next to a hard magnetic biasing element field with patterns recorded therein which bias the magnetostrictive element to resonate at selected frequencies, particularly harmonics of the fundamental frequency, in response to an alternating interrogating magnetic field at the same frequencies. Data may thus be encoded by selecting the frequencies at which the element will resonate. In addition to resonance at different harmonics, resonance in different modes, particularly longitudinal, transverse or flexural modes may be produced. The device may be applied to article identity systems, such as security systems but also has many other applications.

A terminal voltage is applied to the machine, the shape of which is defined by the characteristics of the machine. The waveform of the terminal voltage converts from a sinusoid to a square wave, with a maximum voltage equal to the maximum available voltage, at defined switch-over times. Based on the switch over times, the resulting terminal voltage wave can be square, completely sinusoidal, or a combination of both.

Abstract: A protocol for fiber-optic communication systems, or other communication systems based on transmission of unipolar pulses having wide dynamic range provides for information to be transmitted in packets having a predictable time slot for each transmitter. The receiver for such protocol has a first relatively long RC time constant mode conditioned for reception of data packets whose time of arrival is well predictable and a second relatively short RC time constant mode conditioned for reception of asynchronous randomly received packets. In the relatively long RC time constant mode, each packet includes a preamble having a first clamp interval in which no pulse is transmitted, and a second clamp interval in which a continual pulse is transmitted. A transducer on the receiver translates the packets of pulses into differential electronic signals on first and second outputs. First and second coupling capacitors, receive respective outputs of the transducer and AC couples the signals to respective second terminals of the capacitors. First and second switches connect the second terminals of the respective coupling capacitors to ground during the first and second clamping intervals, respectively, of the preamble. By clamping the outputs of the transducer to ground during the first and second clamping intervals, a DC level for each incoming packet is instantly established independent of the magnitude of the incoming packet. In the asynchronous mode, relatively low impedance discharge paths are established to reduce the time constant of the receiver. An output circuit, connected to the second terminal of each of the first and second coupling capacitors, supplies sequences of digital output signals in response to the differential signals.

Abstract: The lifting plate (16) of a lifter (10) can be moved up and down by means of a hydraulically actuated lifting device (12). The back rest (18) can be pivoted forwards and backwards by means of a pivoting device (19) which is likewise operated hydraulically. Both working devices (12, 19) are connected to a multi-valve housing (20) which is located below the lifting plate (16) and does not have any manually operated devices. By contrast, the actuation takes place hydraulically via remote control.

Abstract: In the course of increasing improvement of the transmission quality in broadcast media, the introduction of digitisation is also intended for sound radio. For this reason, a digital transmission method called "Digital Audio Broadcasting" (DAB) has been developed. In this method, the programmes offered are transmitted, for example, in common-frequency mode throughout the country. In order to be able to distinguish between certain transmitters or regions, however, it is known to let different transmitters transmit different identifications on additional single-carrier frequencies which are regionally different. The novel method makes it possible to transmit information which is regionally different in addition to the current sound radio programme. This does not require any additional transmission bandwidth. In the receiver, this information, if necessary supplemented by other information stored in the receiver, can be indicated to the user or used inside the device. As a result, traffic radio announcements, for example, can be transmitted to the user as required, or a message can be output stating in which geographic region the user is currently located. The novel method can be used in digital audio broadcasting. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high quality low bit rate audio codec having a reproduced voice quality that is comparable to that of a full rate codec compresses audio data sampled at 8 Khz, e.g., 64 Kbps PCM, to 4.2 Kbps or decompresses it back to the original audio or both. The accompanying degradation in voice quality is comparable to the standard 8.0 Kbps voice codes. This is accomplished by using the same parametric model used in traditional CELP coders but determining, quantizing, encoding, and updating these parameters differently. The low bit rate audio decoder is like most CELP decoders except that it operates in two modes depending on the received mode bit. Both pitch prefiltering and global postfiltering are employed for enhancement of the synthesized audio. In addition, built-in error detection and error recovery schemes are used that help mitigate the effects of any uncorrectable transmission errors. <IMAGE>
