Abstract: A signal receiver (300) has a tuner (301), which receives an RF_IN signal and outputs a desired IF_OUT intermediate frequency signal to a demodulator (311). The demodulator (311) sends to the processor (321) a digital stream of a desired signal TS. The processor is connected to the tuner (301) and the demodulator (311) via control signal lines S1 and S2, through which it transmits various commands, for example, setting a specific AGC characteristic or tuning to a specific frequency. The processor (321) comprises a tuner controller (322), which comprises an input filter identifier (323), which identifies the passband of the input filter for a desired signal. The processor (321) has also a desired signal level detector (325), a detector (326) of the strongest signal level in a given band on the basis of the tuner gain and a controller (327) of AGC characteristic on the basis of the strongest signal level and the desired signal level.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un concasseur comportant un premier dispositif de concassage (4) et un second dispositif de concassage (5) définissant entre eux un espace de concassage (6). Un dispositif de mesure (12, 13) sert à mesurer la charge instantanée s'exerçant sur le concasseur pendant au moins un laps de temps, le but étant d'obtenir un certain nombre de relevés. Un dispositif de calcul permet de déterminer une valeur qui est représentative de la charge instantanée mesurée la plus élevée pendant chaque laps de temps. Un dispositif de commande (11) est conçu pour comparer la valeur représentative à une valeur recherchée et pour doser la charge imposée au concasseur en fonction des résultats de ladite comparaison. Ce type de commande procure un concassage plus efficace et atténue les risques de panne du concasseur.

Abstract: The invention concerns a circuit arrangement for the operation of transmitting and receiving devices (T/R devices) at an antenna. A plurality of T/R devices can be operated for the most part without loss relative to the transmission and receiving powers and almost without mutual influencing of the signal branches of the devices by means of this circuit arrangement. For this purpose, circuit modules for compensation of attenuation (compensators) are disposed between the common antenna and each T/R device. All transmitting and receiving branches of the compensator are connected with the antenna by means of one interconnection unit. The transmitting branches are brought together via passive combiners with the interconnection of an isolator in each case, whereby the output power of their transmission amplifiers is increased in order to equilibrate the attenuation in the combiners. Incoming signals are distributed via splitters to all receiving branches of one frequency band of the compensator, whereby their attenuation is compensated for by an amplifier of the interconnection unit. The interconnection unit has a duplex switch for the separation of the signal paths for each frequency branch.

Abstract: In an apparatus for processing banknotes or other sheet-like objects, the banknotes are conveyed along a transport path, thereby passing sensor means. A transmission and a reflection image of the banknote are captured by illuminating the banknotes and measuring the transmittive and reflective light intensity of light with a high resolution. Based on these images, a validation of the banknotes is carried out. After the validation, a double feed detection is performed by evaluating the transmission and the reflection intensities for a predefined set of test spots with a two-dimensional evaluation. If it is decided on double feed, the banknotes are rejected. Otherwise the banknotes are accepted and further processed. Because of the additional dimension in the evaluation compared with known double detection methods, the invention enables a more robust double note detection also in cases with different degrees of soiling of the banknotes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of a vascular tree from two-dimensional X-ray projection images (A, B, C) that are taken from different spatial directions. On a first projection image (A) at least one reference point (CA) is specified. The gray-value profiles along the epipolar lines (EB, EC) for said reference point (CA) in other projection images (B, C) are then projected on the projection line (L) of the reference point (CA) and added there punctiformly to form a sum profile (S). The sum profile (S) has an extreme, for example, a gray-value minimum, at the position of the space point (C3D) belonging to the reference point (CA). In this way, it is possible to reconstruct semiautomatically a vascular tree from X-ray projections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for converting power from a power input to an output power supply, where a first feedback circuit is connected from the output terminal to an error amplifier, which error amplifier is connected over electric isolation means to an input at a control circuit, which output is connected over driver means to the input of the semiconductor switches. The scope of the invention is to reach a high effective and fast responding switch mode power supply in changing the mode of operation depending on the actual demand. This can be achieved with an apparatus or method if modified so that the apparatus further comprises a second feedback circuit leading a signal from a serial resonance capacitor to a reference input terminal at the control circuit, which second feedback circuit contains a signal depending on the actual current in the coil. This way, it can be achieved that the signal at the second feedback input at the control circuit now partly is under influence of the signal that depends on the current flowing through the coil of the transformer. The current flowing through the first coil of the transformer is depending on the current flowing through the output of the power supply. This means that at high load, a very powerful signal will be transmitted through the second feedback at the control circuit that will change the operation of the circuit into a charge mode operation. As the load on the output is reduced, the influence of the second feedback signal will be reduced, and the influence from the charge mode is reduced and the operation mode is changing back into frequency mode of operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for use in low frequency vibration energy harvesting (VEH) and with actuators requiring a low deflection force. The apparatus includes a piezo flexure that is loaded with a compressive pre-load force to place the piezo flexure under compression. The piezo flexure may be supported at an intermediate point or at one end thereof. The compressive pre-load force produces flexes the piezo flexure into one or the other of two stable positions, these positions being offset on opposite sides of a longitudinal centerline representing the position of the piezo flexure that would be produced without the compressive pre-load force applied thereto. The compressive pre-load effectively provides a negative spring constant which "softens" the piezo flexure and enhances a responsiveness of the piezo flexure to low frequency vibration energy. The piezo flexure also operates over a much wider frequency bandwidth than conventional systems incorporating a tip mass.
