Inventor: WANG ARTHUR W
IPC: H04B7/195
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: A communication system (40) has a plurality of ground stations
(54) for communicating communication signal to a plurality
of satellites located in an inclined elliptical subgeosynchronous
orbit (34) with respect to the earth (10). The
plurality of satellites (32) operate in a service area (52) in
a synchronized manner to provide continuous coverage to the
service area (52). The satellites (32) generate a plurality of
beams with variable beamwidths to obtain a substantially uniform
cell size covering the service area. A user terminal
within the service area receives communication signals from the
satellite (Fig. 2).

Abstract: Apparatus for developing synchronization of an intermediate layer of signal such
as the transport or multiplex layer of a multi-layered compressed video signal,
includes at the encoding end of the system apparatus (13,23,25) for including a
time stamp reference, such as a count value from a modulo K counter (23), and
provision for a differential time stamp which may be updated by the transit times of
respective (e.g., multiplexing) circuits as the signal transits such circuits. At the
receiving end of the system a counter (27) is responsive to a controlled receiver
clock signal and the count value of this counter is sampled at the arrival of the
time stamps embedded in the transport layer. The time stamps and the differential
time stamps are retrieved from the signal and combined to form a corrected time
stamp. The differences of successive sampled count values of the receiver
counter are compared with the differences of corresponding successive corrected
time stamps to provide a signal to control the receiver clock signal.

Abstract: A receiver (10) for a wireless telecommunications system that provides relatively wideband signal processing of received signals without increased signal distortion so that multiple received signals can be simultaneously processed. The receiver (10) includes a specialized LNA (16), frequency down-converter (18) and ADC (20) to perform the wideband signal processing while maintaining receiver performance. The frequency down-converter (18) employs a suitable mixer (28), BPA (32), attenuator (34), and transformer (36) that are tuned to provide the desired frequency down-conversion and amplitude control over the desired wideband. The down-converter devices are selected depending on the particular performance criteria of the ADC (20). A specialized digital channelizer (22) is included in the receiver (10) that receives the digital signal from the ADC (20), and separates the signals into the multiple channels. In one embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a single down-conversion process, and the ADC (20) employs delta-sigma processing to provide digital conversion over the complete frequency band. In an alternate embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a double down-conversion process so that a less complex ADC (62) can be used.

Abstract: A control valve used for a variable displacement type
compressor. The compressor has a crank chamber (5), a
discharge pressure zone, and a supply passage (28). The
supply passage (28) connects the crank chamber (5) to the
discharge pressure zone. The control valve is located in the

The valve body (41) is exposed to the pressure of the supply
passage (28). The valve body (41) moves in accordance with
the discharge pressure such that the displacement is varied to
counter changes of the discharge pressure. The direction in
which the valve body (41) moves in response to an increase of
the discharge is the same as the direction in which the valve
body (41) moves when the pressure of the supply passage (28)
increases.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of manufacturing an internal lining of
polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) for an elastomer expansion joint or similar flexible
couplings, whereby one or more unsintered tapes of PTFE or a PTFE-based material
is/are wound around a rotary-symmetrical, non-cylindrical, positive forming tool
whereby the tapes form a lining comprising a number of PTFE layers in a form
which essentially corresponds to the desired internal shape of the elastomer
expansion joint or a similar flexible coupling member, whereafter the lining is
sintered and subsequently removed from the form by collapsing the self-locking shell
of the forming tool by removing at least one retention member of the forming tool.
The invention also relates to a forming tool for use in connection with the method.
Hereby, it is possible to manufacture the lining in any kind of rotary-symmetrical
shape. The form removal after the sintering process takes place by taking the forming
tool apart. According to the invention, it is not necessary to carry out a mechanical
deformation of the PTFE material which means that by using a method according to
the invention, a more stable lining in any rotary-symmetric shape and with
significantly improved chemical barrier properties may be obtained.

Abstract: A slot machine comprises a central processing unit (CPU) and a reel
mechanism. The CPU operates the slot machine and randomly determines a game
outcome in response to a wager. The reel mechanism includes a motor, a symbol-bearing
reel, and a reel driver. The motor includes a rotatable shaft, and the reel is
mounted to the shaft. The reel driver includes a local microcontroller distinct from
and coupled to the CPU. The reel driver is coupled to the motor to cause the motor to
rotate the reel. The CPU issues high-level commands to the reel driver related to
rotation of the reel. The high-level commands may, for example, include a start spin
command for starting rotation of the reel and a stop command for stopping the reel at
a specified position. However, to free up the CPU for other tasks, the local
microcontroller performs low-level reel driver operations related to the rotation of the
reel. The low-level reel driver operations may, for example, include sampling a state
of the reel in real time, performing calculations, and responding with control changes.
