Abstract: A method is provided for processing a composite digital audio broadcast signal to mitigate intermittent interruptions in the reception of said digital audio broadcast signal. The method includes the steps of separating an analog modulated portion of the digital audio broadcast signal from a digitally modulated portion of the digital audio broadcast signal, producing a first plurality of audio frames having symbols representative of the analog modulated portion of the digital audio broadcast signal, and producing a second plurality of audio frames having symbols representative of the digitally modulated portion of the digital audio broadcast signal. The first plurality of audio frames is then combined with the second plurality of audio frames to produce a blended audio output. A method is also provided for transmitting a composite digital audio broadcast signal having an analog portion and a digital portion to mitigate intermittent interruptions in the reception of said digital audio broadcast signal. The method comprises the steps of arranging symbols representative of the digital portion of the digital audio broadcast signal into a plurality of audio frames, producing a plurality of modem frames, each of the modem frames including a predetermined number of the audio frames, and adding a frame synchronization signal to each of the modem frames. The modem frames are then transmitted along with the analog portion of the digital audio broadcast signal, with the analog portion being delayed by a time delay corresponding to an integral number of the modem frames. The invention also encompasses radio receivers and transmitters which process signals according to the above methods.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for cell selection in a cellular telecommunication system. According to the invention, cell identification information is attached as a parameter to an RRC message initiating the state change of the mobile station to the cell-connected state. Advantageously, the network selects a cell to be suggested as the cell for use by the mobile station in the cell-connected state, and the network indicates said cell by attaching cell identification as a parameter to said RRC message. Consequently, the mobile station may make the final selection of the cell, and indicate the selected cell to the network by attaching cell identification information as a parameter to a second RRC message, such as the response message to the RRC message initiating the state change.

Abstract: A synchronous signal generator according to the present invention outputs a pulse with low jitter by setting the sine wave output of a crystal oscillator close to an ideal sine wave, and converting it into a pulse signal. By passing the sine wave output from the crystal oscillator of an oscillation frequency f through a filter unit having an equal center frequency f0, inputting output of a filter unit into a pulse converter, and converting the result into a pulse of a rectangular waveform, thereby obtaining an output signal. By configuring the filter unit by the crystal filter and setting it equal to the crystal oscillator in frequency-temperature characteristic, an output signal can be obtained with low jitter although the temperature changes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When a voltage level of a pulse-cut first clock signal inputted to a first clock terminal is reversed in the state where a first transistor is turned on and a second transistor is turned off, an anti-reversal circuit including a seventh transistor and an eighth transistor supplies a high voltage VDD to a node n 2 . In this way, a floating state of the node n 2 is avoided, and the voltage level of the node n 2 is prevented from being reversed. Accordingly, the second transistor will not be turned on in the interval, whereby electric potential of an output signal is stably maintained.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent damage to an electric motor and an inverter for driving the electric motor when the electric motor has a high rotating speed.  <P>SOLUTION: This hybrid vehicle driving control device comprises the electric motor, a rotating speed limiting index detecting part for detecting a rotating speed limiting index as an index for limiting the rotating speed of the electric motor, index determining processing means 92 for determining whether the rotating speed limiting index is higher than a threshold value or not, and engine torque limiting processing means 93 for limiting engine torque when the rotating speed limiting index is higher than the threshold value. When the rotating speed limiting index is higher than the threshold value, the engine torque is lower and so load on the electric motor is suddenly lower to prevent a driving wheel rotating speed from being higher with the extra force of an engine. As a result, the rotating speed of the electric motor is prevented from being higher than the maximum allowable rotating speed.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for purchasing a product from an automatic vending machine by means of a consumer's cellular telephone. The consumer requests a product available from the vending machine by dialing a specified telephone number which connects the consumer's cellular telephone to a server operated by a billing agency. The billing agency may include the provider of the product, the telephone company that provides the cellular telephone service, a credit card company, or a bank that has issued a debit card. The server recognizes the request for the product, creates a transaction record, and communicates a vend code to the consumer. The transaction record includes a billing record that the billing agency uses to bill the consumer for the requested product and an inventory record that the product provider uses in connection with restocking the vending machine. Upon receiving the vend code from the server, the consumer transmits the vend code to the vending machine. The vend code may be an RF code, an audible tone code, or a manual code. Upon receipt of the vend code from the consumer, the vending machine dispenses the requested product.

Abstract: A controller (40) for a moisture adjusting device (60) of the present invention reads out a target moisture content set in advance in a data table in accordance with a type of a planographic printing plate; determines, every predetermined control period, a moisture content of an overcoat layer (measured moisture content) based on a measured signal SW; and calculates a difference (deviation) between the measured moisture content and the target moisture content. For example, if the measured moisture content of the overcoat layer is lower than the target moisture content, the controller sets an adjusted moisture content which is higher than the measured moisture content and controls the humidity and the temperature within a humidity conditioning zone so that an interposing paper web (82) (protective sheet material) attains the adjusted moisture content within the humidity conditioning zone (36). <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to human medicine, and particularly with a pharmaceutical combination made up with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and a Growth Hormone secretagogue hexapeptide (GHRP); being useful to prevent tissue damages due to blood flow suppression as to enhance tissue repair following ischaemic damages. The aforementioned combination may be applied as a single pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, an individual may also receive both EGF and GHRP in a separate manner but within a single therapeutic regime to enhance cellular survival when organs are subjected to blood flow deprivation for a critical period of time. This combination attenuates reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and its associated cytotoxicity. It is useful to promote cellular survival when tissues or organs are exposed to prolonged ischaemic periods. The combination may be used as a prophylactic agent in those subjects prone to multiple organ failure (MOF) such as burn victims, multiple trauma patients, hypoxic neonates, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and necrotizing enterocolitis patients.
