Patent EP-0917339-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOLLENBACH KEITH EUGENE
IPC: G05F1/46
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: A DC termination device, particularly adapted for use in a device
coupled to a two wire telecommunications system, controls the tip-to-ring current
through the telecommunications device by means of a voltage controlled current source
(12). The control voltage for the voltage controlled current source is provided by digital
signal processing (14) of the tip-to-ring voltage such that the tip-to-ring current is
linearly proportional to the tip-to-ring voltage when the voltage is below a specified
threshold level, but is maintained constant when the tip-to-ring voltage is over the
threshold voltage. Preferably, the constant current is the minimum adequate current
needed for operation.

Abstract: The system has two measurement contact blades, which include the angle into which the rake and clearance angle of a saw tooth are fitted. A sensor measures the angle and rotational position of a measurement spindle fixed radially with respect to the saw blade. The system has a measuring spindle (36), which is fixed radially with respect to the saw blade, and can be hinged about an axis (46) parallel to a saw blade axis. Two measuring contact blades (41,42) are arranged on the measuring spindle and include an angle, into which the side slope and the clearance angle of the saw tooth (52) can be fitted. The measuring spindle can be positioned with low inertial torque and no arresting friction. A sensor measures the angular position of the measuring spindle, and produces a signal corresponding to the rotational position of the spindle, which is displayed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a blood clot detector which
includes a pressure transducer on an aspiration line to provide output
voltage data to a microprocessor corresponding to the vacuum level
during aspiration. The microprocessor integrates the vacuum readings
over time during the aspiration cycle to provide a pressure integral for
each test sample aspiration. A pressure integral is determined for an
unclotted aspiration and used as a reference for comparison with the
pressure integrals of each test sample aspiration to determine whether a
blood clot has interfered with the test sample aspiration. A valve (26) is
provided across an analytical line (50,60) and an aspiration line (20,30) to provide
selective communication between the aspiration line (20,30) and the analytical
line (50,60) or to prevent such communication. Communication between the
aspiration line (20,30) and the analytical line (50,60) permits transfer of a test sample
from the aspiration line (20,30) to the analytical line (50,60) if the test sample is
considered acceptable for sample analysis. Acceptability of the test
sample for analysis is based upon a predetermined difference between
the reference pressure integral and each test sample pressure integral.

thickness as that of the yarn F of the ground stitch. The yarn F is fed to the front
reed, and the yarn B is fed to the back reed. The sinker loops of the knitted loops
formed by the front reed become the ground stitch portion (X), which becomes a
channel for permeate, and the needle loops of the knitted loops and the chain portion
formed by the back reed become the convex portion (Y). Finally, the fabric is rigidified
by heating.

Abstract: Signal-to-noise ratio in medical ultrasound imaging is improved by using Golay-encoded excitation of a transducer array. Two orthogonal Golay pairs of sequences are transmitted to respective transmit focal zones. Start of transmission of the Golay pair to the second zone is delayed until shortly after the start of transmission of the Golay pair to the first transmit focal zone such that the two pairs of firings are overlapped in time. The receive filtering follows two parallel paths, one for each focal zone. Each decoding filter (52, 56) (also used for bandpass filtering) supplies its output signal to a vector summer (54, 58), the output signal of which is muffiplexed (60) to conventional B-mode processing (envelope detection, logarithmic compression and edge-enhancement filter), followed by scan conversion for display.

Abstract: A method, circuit and system for selectively and adaptively effecting level conditioning of selected samples of a read signal in storage technologies. A circuit embodying the present invention includes sample logic, arithmetic logic and conditioning logic. The sample logic receives samples and provides a main sample and one or more selected neighbor samples. The arithmetic logic compares the main sample to the neighbor samples toward determining satisfaction of selected conditioning criteria. If the selected conditioning criteria are satisfied, the conditioning logic selectively and adaptively effects level conditioning as to the main sample. A method embodying the present invention comprises obtaining level conditioning parameters in association with a reference field of the read signal; sampling the read signal at channel bit locations to provide a plurality of samples; selecting a main sample from the plurality of samples; selecting one or more neighbor samples from the plurality of samples, the neighbor samples being disposed at predetermined distances, in channel bits, from the main sample; comparing the main sample to each of the neighbor samples to determine satisfaction of selected conditioning criteria; applying, where the selected conditioning criteria are determined to be satisfied, level conditioning to the main sample, such level conditioning being responsive to the level conditioning parameters.

La sixième vitesse est une vitesse surmultipliée (la sortie de la boîte tourne plus vite que l'entrée), tandis que les cinq premières correspondent aux rapports de vitesses classiques. Le système d'engrenage à six vitesses et l'ensemble changement de vitesses peuvent être logés dans le carter d'engrenages d'une boîte cinq vitesses de gros bicylindre (Big Twin), sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier ledit carter. Cette caractéristique permet de convertir une boîte cinq vitesses de gros bicylindre en boîte six vitesses sans sortir ni changer le carter d'engrenages, en remplaçant un nombre minimum de composants.
