Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: A mobile station (10) and wireless system (32) operates in accordance with a method that
has steps of: (A) during the operation of the mobile station, determining and storing a set
(24A) of performance-related data (PPCs) in the mobile station; and (B) responsive to an
occurrence of a triggering event, transmitting the set or a sub-set of the PPCs to a
computer (33A) for analysis. The PPCs can be stored in physical counters and registers or
in memory locations that are managed to function as counters and registers. The PPCs
can include a count of dropped calls, and/or an indication of a result of a mobile station
self-test mode of operation. The triggering event can be a receipt by the mobile station of
a message to transmit the set or sub-set of the performance-related data, or a receipt by
the mobile station of an input from a user of the mobile station, or an expiration of a
timer, or at least one of the PPCs being equal to a threshold value. The step of
transmitting the set or a sub-set of the PPCs can include steps of receiving the
transmitted PPCs at a control center (33) associated with a network service provider
and/or at a (remote) diagnostic center (38); and then analyzing the data with the
computer (33A) to determine an indication of an occurrence of at least one of a fault in
the mobile station, a fault in a system of the network service provider, or a no fault
condition. An optional step transmits the determined indication to the mobile station.
The analysis may further include determining statistical information regarding a
population of mobile stations. For the case where the triggering event is the reception of
a wireless message, the message may be in the form of an encrypted message to transmit
the set or sub-set of the performance-related data. In this case the mobile station
operates to decrypt the received message using an associated public key stored in the
mobile station and to transmit the set or the sub-set of the performance-related data only
in response to correctly decrypting the encrypted message.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method and system for automatic gain equalization in a WDM optical communication system, which provides for using Automatic Gain Equalizers (AGEs) to pre-tilt the spectrum and get both gain flattening and Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) flattening: the AGEs are periodically inserted in the amplification chain, for pre-compensating the tilt that will accumulate down the line (pre-emphasis). 
   Optical Spectrum Monitors (OSM) are placed some amplifiers downstream, measure the OSNR and send this data back to the relating AGE. For each wavelength the difference between the OSNR and the minimal OSNR over the spectrum is computed and added to the previous attenuation at this wavelength. The new attenuation spectrum is normalized and is used to control the AGE.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for flow estimation using
synthetic aperture imaging. The method uses a Synthetic Transmit
Aperture, but unlike previous approaches a new frame is created after
every pulse emission. In receive mode parallel beam forming is
implemented. The beam formed RF data is added to the previously created
RF lines obtained by the same transmit sequence. The apparatus comprises
a pulser (1) to generate a pulsed voltage signal, that is fed to the
emit beam former (2). The emit beam former (2) is connected to the
emitting transducer array (3). The ultrasound is reflected by the object
(4) and received by the elements of the transducer array (5). All of
theses signals are then combined to focus all of the beams in the image
in both transmit and receive in the beam processor (6)
and the simultaneously focused signals are used for updating the image
in the processor (7). The update signals are used in the velocity
estimation processor (8) to correlate the individual measurements to
obtain the displacement between high-resolution images and thereby
determine the velocity.

IPC: C21D11/00
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: Dans un procédé pour la fabrication d'une bande en acier multiphase laminée à chaud comportant une opération de refroidissement ultra-rapide, on effectue cette opération de refroidissement ultra-rapide après un refroidissement laminaire de la bande sur la table de refroidissement conventionnelle du laminoir, et avant le bobinage final de la bande. Le refroidissement laminaire constitue un premier refroidissement lent, à la sortie du train finisseur, à partir de la température de fin de laminage jusqu'à  une température intermédiaire d'environ 750  DEG C à 500  DEG C; ce premier refroidissement détermine la fraction de la première phase (ferrite) dans l'acier. Le refroidissement ultra-rapide (> 150  DEG C/s), qui fige la structure ainsi obtenue, abaisse la température de la bande jusqu'à la température de bobinage, comprise entre environ 600  DEG C et la température ambiante, à laquelle on effectue un second refroidissement lent qui conduit à la formation de la seconde phase (bainite ou martensite).

Abstract: The viscosity of a puncture-preventing sealant (7) is set
in a range of 25 to 35 dPa•s. and a thixotropy index is set in
a range of 6.5 to 11.0, the sealant (7) being filled in a sealant
chamber (6) defined to extend along an outer periphery of an
air chamber (5) in a tire (T). When the tire (T) is being rotated
by traveling of a vehicle, the viscosity of the sealant (7) is
reduced by a stirring action provided by a vibration or a
centrifugal force of the sealant (7), whereby the sealant (7)
can be diffused uniformly in the sealant chamber (6). When the
vehicle has been stopped and the stirring action has been
extinguished, the viscosity of the sealant (7) is increased,
whereby the sealant (7) is maintained in a state in which it
has been diffused uniformly in the sealant chamber (6) without
flowing downwards in the sealant chamber (6) by gravitation.
Therefore, even when the vehicle is travelling at a high speed,
the generation of a vibration and a noise can be prevented. In
this manner, the puncture-preventing sealant is provided, which
has such a nature that the sealant is easy to flow due to a low
viscosity during traveling of a vehicle, and the sealant is
difficult to flow due to a high viscosity when the sealant is
left to stand.
