Patent GB-932611-A (GB)
Abstract: 932,611. Binaural systems. TELEFUNKEN G.m.b.H. Sept. 9, 1959 [Sept. 9, 1958], No. 30729/59. Class 40 (4). In a sound-reproducing arrangement for the selective reproduction of monophonic or stereophonic signals there are provided two loudspeakers which receive high frequencies during both monophonic and stereophonic reproduction and at least one further loud-speaker which receives low frequencies only during stereophonic reproduction but low and high frequencies during monophonic reproduction. " Low frequencies " are frequencies which have substantially no effect upon the localization of the source of sound in stereophonic reproduction, e.g. frequencies up to about 300 cycles/second. Fig. 1 shows two amplifiers 1, 2 which may be connected through switches S 1 , S 2  to a stereophonic pick-up 3 or to a monaural radio tuner 4. The outputs are applied through high-pass filters 5, 6 to loudspeakers 7, 8 reproducing high frequencies. Connections to loud-speakers 9, 10 are through switches S 3  to S 6  which connect low-pass filters 11, 12 for stereophonic reproduction and disconnect them for monaural reproduction. Switches S 1  to S 6  are ganged together, Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the loudspeakers in a cabinet. A single loud-speaker 13, Fig. 3, replaces the two loud-speakers 9, 10 and is connected in series with amplifiers 1, 2. Alternatively, amplifiers 1, 2 are connected in parallel with loud-speaker 13. Loud-speakers 7, 8 may radiate obliquely outwardly, Fig. 4 not shown. In another arrangement, output valves 14, 15, Fig. 5, are connected in push-pull to transformer 16. Capacitor 17 in parallel with the primary winding is switched in by switch S for stereophonic reproduction to shortcircuit signals above 300 c/s. and switched out for monaural reproduction.

Title: Verifying geometry of a part
Inventor: HAHS JNR CHARLES A
IPC: G05B19/401
Filed: 1994-01-18
Abstract: A method for determining, visualizing and analyzing discrepancy between a fabricated part and a computer model of a part comprises the steps of creating the computer model of the part (802), creating a digitized data base of the fabricated part (804), and then translating, rotating, scaling and merging the computer model and the digitized data base (806). Then, the distance from at least one digitized data point of the fabricated part to the computer model is 810 determined (810). Subsequently (814), vectors depicting the discrepancy between the computer model and the digitized data base are created. The vectors are then categorized based on magnitude and direction of the discrepancy (814), (818), (822). Finally, the discrepancy is represented or displayed (828). <IMAGE>

Title: Method of implementing a Common Interface over an IEEE 1394 Bus
Inventor: BARRY RICHARD JOHN
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1998-04-24
Abstract: A method of implementing a Common Interface over an IEEE 1394 serial bus comprises setting up at least two isochronous channels over the bus for transmitting/receiving a transport stream to/from a Conditional Access Module (CAM).

Title: A device for angular measurement and angular coordination.
Inventor: OTT KARL
IPC: F02P7/067
Filed: 1998-08-27
Abstract: A device is described for the rotation angle measurement and angular coordination of a rotatable element (10, figure 1) wherein, utilizing influenceable properties of a sensor arrangement (12, figure 1), a property produced or influenced by the rotatable element, for example a magnetic property, is detectable. This associated sensor arrangement is constructed such that it emits a signal which is clearly dependent upon the angular position and prior to its further processing is converted into a pulse-width modulated signal (19, figure 2). From the pulse duty factor of this pulse-width-modulated signal a following calculating device determines the actual angular position. In a further embodiment such a device is used for rotation angle measurement and angular coordination in an internal combustion engine comprising an absolute camshaft sensor 24 and a crankshaft incremental sensor 20, a clearly defined angular coordination between camshaft angle and crankshaft angle can also be determined by the associated control device 30 of the internal combustion engine.
