Patent EP-1089526-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH DAVID L
IPC: G10L21/057
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: There is disclosed a telephone device (20) including a tone generator for
generating a sequence of tone signals over a predetermined frequency range. A speaker
(38) converts the tone signals to audio signals. A feedback mechanism (50 or 60) is
provided for a listener hearing the audio signals to indicate audiological sensing of the
audio signals. The listener responses are stored in a memory (44) as an audiological
profile. A processor (44) converts the audiological profile to a set of tap weights also for
storage in the memory. When an incoming call is present, a filter receives the set of tap
weights and the incoming call signal. The filter provides an output that is a filtered
version of the incoming signal to drive the speaker. The telephone device (20) may be a
wire-line, cellular, cordless, internet, PC-based telephone, telephone handset or telephone
answering device.

Abstract: Retracting needle syringe (20) includes barrel (22) having chamber (24), open proximal end (25) and open distal end (26). The plunger has an elongated cavity (34) in its distal end and a sealing cover element (35). Needle assembly (40) includes needle cannula (41) having inner hub with distal end connected so that the lumen is in fluid communication with the chamber. A flange on the inner hub is connected to an outer hub and a spring is contained between the hubs.

Abstract: In an air cycle machine (ACM), a turbine (T) is driven by an
engine bleed air (BA), and the turbine power is mechanically
transmitted to a compressor (C) to compress the engine bleed air or
open air. An electric motor (M) may be provided to electrically
drive the compressor, if necessary, to thereby serve as an
auxiliary power for the turbine power. The air cycle machine is
used for an air conditioning system for an aircraft, wherein open
air or engine fan air is raised in its pressure by taking advantage
of the compressor (C) driven by the turbine power to use as a
ventilation air. Therefore, a consumption of the engine bleed air
having a high energy level can be efficiently reduced.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ink jet printing
apparatus and a preliminary ejecting method. In both a
full-line and a serial printer, the amount of ink passing
through nozzles of print heads (1K, 1C, 1M and 1Y) is
sometimes decreased below a normal value before and during
actual printing. In the printer of present invention, a
preliminary ejecting operation is performed taking the
opportunity in which the amount of ink passing through
nozzles is decreased below a normal value. Then, the
amount of ink passing through nozzles recovers to the
normal value at an ink ejection after the preliminary
ejecting operation. Since only a small amount of ink is
ejected through the nozzles during the preliminary
ejection operation, dots formed on a print sheet (3) are
not noticeable. Further, it is unnecessary to move the
print heads (1K, 1C, 1M, and 1Y) to a home position where
an ejection recovering process is executed to remove ink
having an increase viscosity.

Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2001-06-25
Abstract: Uplink traffic channel allocation is realized by utilizing a dedicated control
channel in which a prescribed portion of the control channel resource, for example,
frequency, time slot or the like, is reserved for transporting the uplink traffic channel
requests. Both the base station and the particular mobile unit know the prescribed
portion of the control channel resource a priori. Consequently, when the particular
mobile unit transmits an uplink traffic channel request via the prescribed portion of the
control channel resource there is no need for adding any control header information,
thereby minimizing overhead. Furthermore, the length of the uplink traffic channel
requests can be optimally chosen without constraints imposed by other control
message schemes. Reduced overhead coupled with the prescribed portion of the
control channel resource arriving quite frequently reduces latency in the particular
mobile unit acquiring an uplink traffic channel. In one example, delivery of adequate
uplink traffic channel request information to the base station, while minimizing the
adverse impact of losing requests, is ensured by persistently transmitting the requests.
Specifically, after the mobile unit transmits a first request, it transmits a second or
even a third request instead of waiting to receive a response message from the base
station and/or waiting for a timer to time out. By the mobile unit using such a
persistent request transmission scheme, the base station can readily determine the true
value of the received request by eliminating the transmission loop delay effect, thereby
allowing a sensible assignment decision to be made.
