Patent EP-0703708-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PLADEK ROBERT B
IPC: H03G3/02
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: To prevent particular transmission equipment (not shown) from artificially increasing low level audio signals (8) to a predetermined allowable level, such signals are first summed (in 15) with a stabilization signal (32) having a predetermined frequency to form a composite audio signal (16). Moreover, the stabilization signal has a level that prevents any increase in signal level that may be artificially imposed on the composite signal during the processing of the composite signal by the transmission equipment. Once the composite signal has been so processed, then the stabilization signal is removed therefrom and the original audio signal is outputted to associated transmission media.

Abstract: A fluid displacement apparatus comprises a valve plate member dividing into a first chamber and a second chamber comprising a discharge chamber. A passage is formed in the valve plate member and communicates the first chamber with the discharge chamber. An elastic valve member is disposed on the valve plate and is capable of bending to open and close the end opening of the passage. The valve retainer member is secured to the valve plate together with the elastic valve member by a securing means and has a curved portion formed at a extreme portion of the valve retainer member. The valve seat includes a recessed portion offset from end surface of the valve plate. The recessed portion includes a inclined portion and a wall portion extending therefrom. A first distance formed between a beginning portion of the curved portion of the valve retainer member and the securing means is greater than a second distance formed between an edge portion of the recessed portion of the valve seat and the securing means. Noise and vibration caused by the striking of discharge reed valve against the valve seat and the retainer member are thus decreased.

Abstract: Programmable time delay apparatus includes a plurality of similar components (10) which determine the total time delay of the apparatus. These components have gate units (31 0 -31 n , 32 0 -32 n , 33 0 -33 n , 34 0 -34 n ) coupled thereto which, in response to a control signal (b 0 -b n ) applied to each component, either electrically couples the component to the apparatus or electrically removes of the component from the apparatus. In a first embodiment, the control signals (b 0 -b n ) place time delay components (10) in a series configuration, the total time delay being the sum of the time delays of each series-coupled component (10). In the second and third embodiment, the resistors (47 0 -47 n ) and the capacitors (53 0 -53 n ), respectively, are coupled in a capacitance charging circuit (47 0 -47 n , 43; 52, 53 0 -53 n ), the coupled elements controlling the charging rate and, consequently, the time delay of the apparatus. By coupling the apparatus in a ring configuration (Fig. 6), a counter unit (63), counting the number of signal delays through the delay apparatus (61) can lengthen the programmed time delay.

Abstract: A pipelined data processing system has a jump prediction mechanism for predicting the outcomes of jump instructions. The prediction mechanism includes a jump prediction memory which provides the predictions. The jump prediction memory is addressed by a jump signature, formed by adjustably selecting bits from an address value and from a jump path value. The address value is based on the address of the jump instruction and the jump path value is based on a history of recently executed jump instructions prior to said jump instruction. A mode register is used to indicate, for each bit of the jump signature, whether that bit is to be selected from the address value or from the jump path value. Adjustment of the contents of the mode register allows fine tuning of the jump prediction mechanism to optimize performance.

Abstract: An OFDM receiver determines (12; 27) the pulse response of a radio channel and locates (13; 14) its starting point, end point and the maximum and its value. The difference between the end point and the starting point gives the length of the pulse response. A guard interval time corresponding to the guard interval separating the OFDM symbols is set (17; 18) in the receiver in such a manner that it covers the most significant components of the pulse response. A slow and monotonous temporal shift of the pulse response between measurement rounds indicates an error in the sampling frequency. The error is corrected (23; 31) in such a manner that the pulse response shift is compensated for.
