Title: Receptor para uso em uma estação de comunicação de um sistema de cdma, e, processo de recebimento de pelo menos um de uma pluralidade de canais através de uma interface de ar de cdma
Inventor: OZLUTURK FATIH M
IPC: H04B1/7115
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: "RECEPTOR PARA USO EM UMA ESTAçãO DE COMUNICAçãO DE UM SISTEMA DE CDMA, E, PROCESSO DE RECEBIMENTO DE PELO MENOS UM DE UMA PLURALIDADE DE CANAIS ATRAVéS DE UMA INTERFACE DE AR DE CDMA" Sistema de comunicação de espectro de espalhamento digital empregando demodulação de multicaminhos coerente auxiliada por piloto efetua uma redução substancial nos overheads de piloto global e de piloto atribuído. O sistema e processo usa um sinal de dados modulados de QPSK de descarregamento pelo que os dados modulados são removidos e a portadora recuperada é usada para estimativa de fase e de amplitude de canal. O sinal resultante (119) não tem modulação de dados e é usado como um sinal de pseudo piloto (119). Em conjunto com o sinal de pseudo piloto, o enlace de múltiplas entradas travado em fase (157) é empregado, eliminando, adicionalmente, erros devido ao deslocamento de portador por intermédio do uso de uma pluralidade de sinais de pseudo piloto. Um sinal de piloto  (135) é requerido para resolver ambig³idade de fase absoluta, mas em uma magnitude grandemente reduzida.
Patent BR-9914457-A (BR)
Inventor: SOANE DAVID S
IPC: C08F259/00
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: This disclosure describes a processing approach for the rapid and efficient in-situ polymerization of specially prepared precursor mixtures to achieve near-net-shape production of objects/articles with exact dimensions. The process relies on the use of polymerizable compositions comprised of a mixture of a dead polymer, a reactive plasticizer and an initiator, which compositions are semi-solid-like prior to curing and induce low shrinkage upon curing as a result of their partially polymerized nature prior to processing. The partially polymerized nature of the precursor mixtures also allows extremely impact-resistant objects/articles to be fabricated. Other desirable engineering property attributes can similarly be achieved via the judicious blending of starting ingredients in formulating the polymerizable (curable) mixtures.

Patent GB-2361336-A (GB)
Title: Degree of outlier calculation device, and probability density estimation device and histogram calculation device for use therein
Inventor: YAMANISHI KENJI
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: Degree of outlier of one input data is calculated by an amount of change in a learned probability density from that before learning as a result of taking in of the input data. This is because data largely differing in a tendency from a so far learned probability density function can be considered to have a high degree of outlier. More specifically, a function of a distance between probability densities before and after data input is calculated as a degree of outlier. Accordingly, a probability density estimation device appropriately estimates a probability distribution of generation of unfair data while sequentially reading a large volume of data and a score calculation device calculates and outputs a degree of outlier of each data based on the estimated probability distribution.

Title: Extracting frames representative of a shot from a sequence of frames
Inventor: HASS NORMAN
IPC: G11B27/11
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A method for obtaining a representative sequence of frames 340E from a sequence of shot frames 200 comprising the steps of extracting frames from the sequence at a selection interval and storing the selected frames in a buffer 340A and then, when the buffer is full, culling frames from the buffer at a buffer interval and increasing the selection interval by multiplying the original selection interval by the buffer interval. Preferably after culling frames for the buffer the remaining frames are compacted 340C to retain the order of the selected frames. These steps are repeated so that a representative sequence 340E of frames is obtained, with the selected frames being spaced at regular intervals in the original shot sequence, by processing the sequence only once and without knowing the length of the sequence in advance.

Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: Different customer markets, particularly in private mobile radio (PMR) systems, e.g. police, electricity companies, etc, have generally been served by different radio models, which are programmed via a codeplug specific to the model. Each customer can set up the different features required using radio service software (RSS) which is time consuming and results in a configuration that has not been pre-tested. The invention uses market-specific default options 312. A radio programming apparatus includes programming means operably coupled to a memory element, e.g. codeplug, associated with a radio communication unit. The programming means includes at least one market-specific default option 312, e.g. factory default, public safety, transportation, airport, security, hospital, taxi, power, off-shore, service company, maritime 312. The programming means programs the memory element with at least one radio parameter value associated with the at least one market-specific default, e.g. radio frequency channel, talk group, identity code of radio, number of digits in telegrams, private line frequencies, user programmable function keys, call forward, emergency settings. A user may modify the radio parameters provided by the default option. The radio service software (RSS) can be provided as a computer program element such as a program on a CR-ROM or as over-the-air-download. An on-line help text or manual regarding the options may also be provided.

Patent GB-2367703-A (GB)
Title: Controlling the usable range of a buffer
Inventor: MIHARA KANJI
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: An upper limit of a usable range of a VBV buffer is determined from a preset delay time of the VBV buffer and a designated bit rate. A target bit quantity of a picture (j) and a data occupancy quantity of the VBV at the time when a picture (j+1) is coded are calculated, and the target bit quantity T(j) for coding the picture (j) is corrected so that the data occupancy quantity of the VBV of the picture (j+1) constantly falls within the limited range. By this, even when a low coding bit rate is set, the delay due to the VBV buffer of a predetermined delay time or longer does not reach a prescribed delay time or longer. Thus, an MPEG encoder suitable for a live broadcast in which the problem of delay time is not desired can be realized.

After forming, the formed pieces are settled for a period of from 10 to 20 seconds by leading them along an elongated conveyor. After dusting, the formed pieces are battered, preferably further settled for a period of not less than 20 seconds, at least partially cooked and frozen.

Title: Compressor motor having two sets of windings
Inventor: BUSH JAMES W
IPC: H02P25/04
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: A system includes a motor mounted within a housing and a compressor pump unit. A single-phase PSC motor includes a switch assembly 36 which selectively connects primary 28 or alternate 42,48 windings. During normal load operation, when maximum efficiency is desired, the switch is placed in one position, then during high load operation, when maximum torque output is needed at maximum a load point, the switch is placed in the closed position. In effect, the number of main winding turns is decreased and the motor is strengthened. As the auxiliary capacitor 40,46 are also now connected in parallel, the net effect is an increase in the total auxiliary capacitance, which also serves to strengthen the motor. Another embodiment provides a switch for a three-phase WYE connected motor (see fig. 4). In yet another embodiment, a three phase delta connected motor switch is provided (see fig. 5).

Title: A probabilistic record linkage model derived from training data
Inventor: BORTHWICK ANDREW E
IPC: G16Z99/00
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: A method of training a system from examples achieves high accuracy by finding the optimal weighting of different clues indicating whether two data items such as database records should be matched or linked. The trained system provides three possible outputs when presented with two data items: yes, no or I don't know (human intervention required). A maximum entropy model can be used to determine whether the two records should be linked or matched. Using the trained maximum entropy model, a high probability indicates that the pair should be linked, a low probability indicates that the pair should not be linked, and intermediate probabilities are generally held for human review.
