Abstract: A media converter for converting between electrical and optical signals is provided. The media converter includes an electro-optical transceiver configured to convert an optical signal into an electrical signal and vice--versa. The electro- optical transceiver includes an optical signal port connectable to a plastic optical fiber, the optical signal port for sending and receiving the optical signal along the plastic optical fiber; and an electrical signal port for sending and receiving the electrical signal. The media converter also includes a plurality of means for electrically conveying the electrical signal. A switch is in electrical communication with the electrical signal port of the electro-optical transceiver and with the plurality of means for electrically conveying the electrical signal, and is configured to direct the electrical signal from the electro-optical transceiver to any one of the means for electrically conveying the electrical signal and vice-versa, thereby facilitating bi-directional communication. The media converter can also have a telephonic network access port connectable to a telephone cable, which includes a pair of power carrying wires for carrying electrical power. A power supply is in electrical communication with the switch and the electro-optical transceiver, and power supply wiring electrically couples the telephonic network access port to the power supply for powering the media converter by transmitting power from the power carrying wires to the power supply when the telephone cable is coupled to the network access port. Beneficially, by obtaining power from the telephonic network, a low voltage telecommunications technician is able to install the media converter within a building, thereby allowing for relatively inexpensive installation.

IPC: H02K1/06
Filed: 2010-12-06
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement to set up and to ensure an air gap in an electric machine, like a generator. According to the invention the electrical machine contains a stator arrangement (108, 208, 308) and a rotor arrangement (114, 214, 314). The rotor-arrangement (114, 214, 314) rotates around a longitudinal axis (A). At least parts of the rotor arrangement interact with parts of the stator arrangement to generate electrical power. An air gap is defined by the distance between the parts of the rotor arrangement and the parts of the stator arrangement. The parts of the stator arrangement are opposite to the parts of the rotor arrangement along a certain length. The cross-section of the air gap changes along this length, so the air gap is not uniform in view to the referred length.

Abstract: A method for processing and controlling sound signals in a hearing aid is provided. The method comprises estimating a first and a second signal level of an electric input signal based on a first and a second signal level estimator adapted for responding according to a first and a second speed respectively, where the second speed is lower than the first speed and where the estimated second signal level is subtracted from the estimated first signal level, thereby forming a third signal level. Subsequently a first and a second compressor gain control output are determined in a first and second compressor based on said third and second signal level respectively. Then the first and second compressor gain control outputs are summed and hereby a net gain control signal is created. Finally the electric input signal is amplified in accordance with the net gain control signal and thereby creating an electric output signal. The invention also relates to a hearing aid operating according to said method.

Abstract: This invention relates to new insights into the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancers by analyzing the genes altered in 24 pancreatic tumors. First, we determined the sequences of 23,781 transcripts, representing 20,583 protein-encoding genes, in DNA from these tumors. Second, we searched for homozygous deletions and amplifications using microarrays querying one million single nucleotide polymorphisms in each sample. Third, we analyzed the transcriptomes of the same samples using SAGE and next-generation sequencing-by-synthesis technologies We found that pancreatic cancers contain an average of 63 genetic alterations, of which 49 are point mutations, 8 are homozygous deletions, and 6 are amplifications. Further analyses revealed a core set of 12 regulatory processes or pathways that were each genetically altered in 70 % to 100 % of the samples. The data suggest that dysregulation of this core set of pathways is responsible for the major features of pancreatic tumorigenesis.
