Patent EP-1626379-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAMPEL GERALD
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: A rescue device has a motion detector and a transceiver that operates either to transmit a locating signal, which can be tracked by others, or to receive and track a locating signal transmitted by another. A control logic circuit suppresses transmission of the locating signal by the transceiver unless a motion signal, generated by the motion detector responsive to the user's movement, indicates that the user has not moved for a predetermined time interval. Thus, the rescue device can transmit the locating signal when the user is motionless, providing notice that the user is immobile and aiding others in locating the user. When the receiver is operating, it guides the user in locating the source of a transmitted locating signal to aid the user in locating an immobilized person or a building exit. An override can be provided to allow transmission of the locating signal regardless of movement.

Abstract: A damper for vehicles is arranged with selectable or adjustable damping force characteristics that are essentially independent of other internal or external function factors in the damper. For this, fixing devices and a surrounding arrangement, piston (7) arrangement and piston rod (8) arrangement are utilized. In the event of a damping force arising on the arrangement's piston in a certain direction of the piston, an operating device with valves and pipes is arranged to ensure that there is an increase in pressure on the side of the piston facing towards the direction, while the pressure is essentially maintained on the side of the piston facing away from the direction. In addition, pressure-maintaining devices (22) are included that ensure that the pressure in the arrangement is maintained in the event of the occurrence of pressure-affecting parameters. The damper is preferably arranged with adjusting devices (17) that determine the damping force characteristics according to their setting. By means of the invention, a compact damper can be achieved, while at the same time the selected or adjusted damping force characteristics do not affect other factors in the damper.

Abstract: A weighted mean arrival time determines a delay offset of a fractionally spaced equalizer (350). The weighted mean arrival time is determined using path arrival times and energies from a Rake receiver (604). The difference between a weighted mean arrival time and a current delay offset is set to a difference X, in units of the equalizer tap spacing (608). If the difference X is greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to -1, then the current delay offset is updated by an incremental delay offset (610), (612), (614), (616) and the equalizer filter coefficients are shifted by a number of tap spacings (618), (620). Otherwise, the current delay offset is not updated and the filter coefficients of the fractionally spaced equalizer are not shifted (350). Adaptation of the filter coefficients and updates of the delay offset of the equalizer occur only during pilot bursts so as to minimize adaptation transients.

Abstract: A frame erasure compensation method in a variable-rate speech coder includes quantizing, with a first encoder, a pitch lag value for a current frame and a first delta pitch lag value equal to the difference between the pitch lag value for the current frame and the pitch lag value for the previous frame. A second, predictive encoder quantizes only a second delta pitch lag value for the previous frame (equal to the difference between the pitch lag value for the previous frame and the pitch lag value for the frame prior to that frame). If the frame prior to the previous frame is processed as a frame erasure, the pitch lag value for the previous frame is obtained by subtracting the first delta pitch lag value from the pitch lag value for the current frame. The pitch lag value for the erasure frame is then obtained by subtracting the second delta pitch lag value from the pitch lag value for the previous frame. Additionally, a waveform interpolation method may be used to smooth discontinuities caused by changes in the coder pitch memory.
