Patent EP-1168639-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CLAXTON SHIMEN K
IPC: H04B1/26
Filed: 2001-06-13
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: An optical fiber system (22-26, 39, 50) that enables
direct board-to-board optical communication is described.
The optical fiber system (22-26, 39, 50) does not require
data transmission through the backplane (12) and,
consequently, avoids the complexity and possible
communication delays that would be required if data
transmissions had to go through the backplane (12). The
optical fiber system (22-26, 39, 50) includes a positioner
(40, 52) that is configured to urge opposite ends of two or
more optical fibers (42) respectively toward opposed optical
devices (28-38) that are coupled to facing sides of adjacent
printed circuit boards (14-20) coupled to a common backplane
(12). The optical fiber system (22-26, 39, 50) may be
installed and removed quickly and easily, and may be readily
retrofitted into existing computer systems.

Abstract: The invention provides a means of reducing the force required for fitting a lever
connector. A connector 20 is divided into partitioned housings 22L and 22R. The
timing of the fitting operation differs for each of the partitioned housings 22L and 22R,
thereby causing the time at which peak fitting resistance occurs to differ. The peak
fitting resistance being dispersed over the period between the beginning and the ending
of the fitting operations of the two partitioned housings 22L and 22R. As a result, the
overall peak value of the fitting resistance (the force required for the fitting operation)
is reduced for the connector as a whole.

Abstract: A gas sensor element consists of an oxygen pump cell, an
oxygen monitor cell, and a sensor cell. The oxygen monitor cell
measures the concentration of the oxygen molecules within the gas
cavity which is fed back to the oxygen pump cell for keeping the
concentration of oxygen molecules within the gas cavity constant.
The sensor cell ionizes a specified oxygen containing gas and
produce a signal indicative of the concentration of the specified
oxygen containing gas within the gas cavity. The oxygen monitor
cell and the sensor cell are disposed at substantially the same
location in a direction of flow of the gasses, thereby minimizing a
difference in concentration of oxygen molecules around the oxygen
monitor cell and the sensor cell for eliminating an error of the
signal outputted from the sensor cell arising from a variation in
concentration of oxygen molecules within the gas cavity.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include a housing,
a contact, a secondary lock, a grommet, a backplate, a
bolt, a contact removal tool, and a splash guard. The
housing includes openings which receive the contacts.
The grommets are positioned in cavities at the rear of
the housing. The housing and backplate are designed so
that the grommets are subjected to compressive forces in
order to enhance the sealing characteristic of the
grommets. As the contact is inserted, a locking tab
engages an opening in the contact and prevents the
contact from being removed from the housing. The
secondary locks will increase the retention of the
contact in the electrical connector. In addition, the
secondary lock may include a feature which permits the
partial insertion and retention of the secondary lock
prior to insertion of the contact. The secondary lock
also assures that the contacts have been properly
inserted. The electrical connector may also include a
splash guard which would assist in deflecting water from
the rear of the electrical connector. The electrical
connector may also include a removal tool which may be
used to remove contacts from the electrical connector.
The removal tool can be stored in the backplate or the
housing.
