Title: Narrow band interference suppressor
Inventor: NAKAI NORIYUKI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2005-03-10
Abstract: A compact narrow band interference suppressor. The
narrow band interference suppressor includes a plurality of
interference signal elimination circuits, a frequency
compensation circuit, an AGC amp, and an AD converter that
are connected in series. Each interference signal
elimination circuit includes a mixer for synthesizing a
local oscillation signal of a variable frequency oscillator
to eliminate an interference signal with a band elimination
filter. The frequency compensation circuit includes a mixer
for synthesizing a signal having a frequency generated by
the variable frequency oscillator to restore the signal to
the frequency band of the signal input to the narrow band
interference suppressor by the variable frequency
oscillator. The AD converter converts the polarity of the
signal in accordance with the number of times the signal
passes through the mixer.

Inventor: PHIPPS ANTHONY BERNARD
IPC: G01N3/20
Filed: 2005-09-06
Abstract: Rotatable discs combined with turbine blades in engines must be tested for critical life analysis. Thus, consideration must be made as to life expectancy for such components as a result of tensile circumferential hoops as generated by the weight of blades under rotation as well as compressive axial stress as a result of thermal gradients during initial warm up. Previous testing arrangements have considered tensile circumferential hoop stress but not compressive axial stress combinations such as "Von Mises" stress. By provision of bend structures 13, 223 a bending moment is created about a base 2, 22 formed in a test component 1, 21 such that a bending moment force 4, 24 creates a bending moment in the test component 1, 21. This bending moment results in a compressive axial stress reminiscent of that in a practical turbine engine disc as a result of initial thermal gradients. In such circumstances a more realistic testing of the component 1, 21 representative of a practical disc/blade combination is achieved.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to control output power from a switching power supply, For example, a switching regulator according to aspects of the present invention includes a switch (S1 120) to be coupled to an energy transfer element of a power supply. A controller (145) is coupled to the switch (S1 120) to control a switching of the switch to regulate an output voltage and an output current at an output of power supply output. A feedback circuit (160) is coupled to the controller (145). The feedback circuit (150) is coupled to receive a feedback signal from the output (Uo 150) of the power supply. Combinations of the output voltage and the output current correspond to output region (U FB  155). At least one unregulated output region is a self protection auto-restart region. Within at least one unregulated output region, the switching regulator provides continuous output power at substantially the maximum output power of the switching regulator. Each output region corresponds to a magnitude and duration of the feedback signal.

Abstract: Interface destinée à l'excitation ou la détection sélective de cellules neuronales dans un réseau neuronal biologique. Cette interface comprend une membrane présentant un certain nombre de canaux passant à travers la membrane. Chaque canal contient au moins une électrode. Des cellules neuronales dans le réseau neuronal biologique poussent ou migrent dans les canaux, de façon à venir en étroite proximité avec les électrodes. Une fois qu'une ou plusieurs cellules ont poussé ou migré dans un canal, une tension appliquée à l'électrode dans ce canal y excite sélectivement la ou les cellules neuronales. L'excitation de cette ou ces cellules se transmettra alors à tout le réseau neuronal (c'est-à-dire les cellules et axones) associé à la ou aux cellules neuronales stimulées dans le canal. Une interface alternative génère une excitation des cellules via un agencement d'éléments en forme de piliers électriquement conducteurs sur un substrat. Ces éléments présentent des côtés isolés sur le plan électrique et des surfaces supérieures exposées en vue de générer une excitation sélective des cellules.
