Inventor: ISOYAMA SHIGERU
IPC: B23K37/047
Filed: 1994-06-15
Abstract: The invention comprises a continuous hot rolling method in which a rear end portion of a preceding metal block and a fore end portion of a succeeding metal block are cut and the metal blocks are joined to each other by heating and pressing followed by a finish rolling. A region of each metal block is restrained from a clamping position to the end portion thereof in order to prevent a change in level of the metal blocks in heating and pressing the piece. The end portions of the metal blocks can be thus prevented from deformation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radio station for transmitting
and receiving signals. A transmitting part of the radio
station exhibits an impedance which is matched to an
impedance of an antenna (7) at frequencies used for
transmitting the signals. A receiving part of the radio
station exhibits an impedance being matched to an impedance
of the antenna (7) at frequencies used for receiving the
signals. Switches (6, 8) are used for switching the
transmitting or the receiving part to and off the antenna
(7). The impedances are matched using matching networks (5,
9). These matching networks consist of passive elements
and/or transistors. As passive elements discrete or
distributed elements are employed.

IPC: H04N21/2383
Filed: 1992-03-26
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between the first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into two, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: This invention discloses an optical waveguide having a hybrid core. A first waveguide (41) having a glass core is coupled to a polymer waveguide (42) disposed adjacent and parallel thereto. The refractive index of the polymer is varied by applying heat to the region. In the absence of applied heat the device acts as an MMI coupler and when heat is applied, the refractive index difference of the glass and the polymer increases yielding a suppressed MMI. By the application of sufficient heat, the refractive index of the polymer can approach the cladding, the device acts as a simple glass waveguide. Other embodiments disclose the application of a voltage to an EO polymer or physically compressing a polymer region to effect a refractive index change within the polymer.

Abstract: The system uses the vehicle radio and amplifier to provide the amplified broadcast of the telephone call. The mobile telephone (100) is provided with a radio transmitter circuit (112), such that one can listen on a nearby radio receiver to the voice of the distant caller during a telephone conversation. The mobile telephone is also provided with a circuit for transmission of RDS signals which is able to switch on to an appropriate radio frequency which has been determined in advance. Within a vehicle, when a call is received in hands-free mode, if the user decided to pick up the call, the telephone transmits and RDS signals to the vehicle radio which is then re-tuned to the predetermined frequency. Once the call is established, the voice of the distant caller is then broadcast over the vehicle radio.

Abstract: A method of estimating the pitch of a speech signal (2)
comprises the steps of dividing the speech signal into
segments, calculating for each segment a conformity function,
and detecting peaks in the conformity function. The
method further comprises the steps of estimating an average
distance between said peaks, and using the estimated
average distance as an estimate of the pitch. In this way
a method less complex than prior art methods, and thus
suitable for small digital signal processors, is provided.
The method also avoids the pitch halving situation.
When the method is based on the fact that the identified
peaks in the conformity function show a periodic
behaviour and that the true pitch period actually corresponds
to the distance between the peaks, a simpler algorithm
is achieved which provides the true pitch period
independent on the occurrence of pitch halving, pitch
doubling, etc. A similar device is also provided.

Abstract: A method is provided for reducing or preventing the adhesion of polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes to fibrinogen such as might occur at the situs of a vascular injury due to disease or a surgical operation such as balloon angioplasty or a vascular transplantation by administration of a composition containing an effective amount of a Clf40 or Clf41 protein from the ligand-binding region of the ClfA protein from staphylococcal bacteria. The use of Clf40 or Clf41 compositions can inhibit adhesion to fibrinogen at the endothelial level so as to treat or prevent undesirable conditions associated with vascular injury, including the development of atherosclerotic plaque or inflammation. In addition, the present invention provides methods of isolating and purifying the Clf40 and Clf41 regions, as well as methods of using compositions containing these proteins in the treatment or prevention of infectious irritations or disease conditions caused by staphylococcal bacteria. Further, the invention contemplates the development and use of vaccines and antibodies based on the Clf40 and Clf41 protein regions, and the use of Clf40 and Clf41 in various methods including the generation of an immune response against these proteins, the enhancement of the immune response against staphylococcal bacteria, and the  increase in the phagocytic capacity in the host to counter infection.

Abstract: An improved position encoder system for providing an output signal representative of the position of a movable body, relative to a reference position, includes at least one magnetic element fixedly attached to the movable body. The system further includes a first spatially orthogonal fluxgate sensor pair and a second spatially orthogonal fluxgate sensor pair for detecting the magnetic field. The first sensor pair is disposed adjacent to the polar axis at a first predetermined distance, and the second pair is disposed adjacent to the polar axis at a second predetermined distance, preferably twice the first predetermined distance. The system further includes a signal processor for receiving a signal from the first sensor pair and a signal from the second sensor pair. The signal processor produces an output signal that corresponds to a predetermined combination of the signal from the first sensor pair and the signal from the second pair, such that a resulting relationship between the output signal and the position of the movable body is substantially linear. Motion of the movable body may be rotational or linear, such that the encoded position is angular or linear. Proper placement of the sensors along the magnetic element of a linear position encoder enables a range of motion significantly beyond the total length of the magnetic element. Eccentric placement of the magnetic element on a rotatably movable body provides a substantially linear position-to-output signal relationship with relatively little processing of the resulting sensor signals.
