Abstract: An air conditioning system which has a plurality of
indoor units installed inside of a predefined space for
performing air conditioning and an outdoor unit installed
outside of the space for controlling the indoor units, and a
method for controlling the same. The indoor units store
unique production numbers assigned respectively thereto in
manufacturing processes thereof, and the outdoor unit
recognizes the production numbers of the indoor units and
automatically sets addresses in the indoor units on the basis
of the recognized production numbers. Therefore, in an
installation process, an installer need not personally set
addresses in the indoor units one by one, resulting in greater
convenience of installation. Further, as compared with
conventional air conditioning systems, a period of time
required for the address setting and an error occurrence
probability can be reduced.

IPC: G06F11/27

Abstract: Embedding a logic analyzer in a programmable logic device allows signals to be
captured both before and after a trigger condition (breakpoint). A logic analyzer
embedded within a PLD captures and stores logic signals. It unloads these signals for
viewing on a computer. Using an electronic design automation (EDA) software tool
running on a computer system, an engineer specifies signals of the PLD to be monitored,
a breakpoint, total number of samples to be stored, number of samples to be captured
after the breakpoint occurs, and a system clock signal. The EDA tool automatically
inserts the logic analyzer into the electronic design of the PLD which is compiled and
downloaded to configure the PLD. Using an interface connected between the PLD and
the computer, the EDA tool commands the embedded logic analyzer to run. Signals are
stored continuously while running in a ring buffer RAM memory. Once the breakpoint
occurs, more samples are captured if desired, in addition to those signals captured before
breakpoint. The EDA tool directs the logic analyzer to unload the data from its capture
buffer for display on a computer. The breakpoint and sample number can be changed
without recompiling. A JTAG port controls the logic analyzer. Inputs and outputs of the
logic analyzer are routed to unbonded JTAG-enabled I/O cells. Alternatively, a user-implemented
test data register provides a JTAG-like chain of logic elements through
which control and output information is shifted. Stimulus cells provide control
information to the logic analyzer, and sense cells retrieve data from the logic analyzer.

Abstract: A new type of dry connector for wood and concrete mixed structures is
proposed. In particular, the connector is to be utilized to strengthen historic
floors but it can be used also to strengthen recent and new structures. 
     The connector consists of a metal pin (1) which is conceived in such a way
as to permit a strong engagement in wood by means of a threaded stem (3)
and this is the reason why no auxiliary stirrups are required while the
solidarization of the connector with concrete is permitted by the adherence
between the connector head (2) and concrete. The connector head can be
shaped like a hexagon or square or it can be a cut head or other suitable
type of head depending on the requirements. 
     Preferably, the head (2) shows a lower narrower neck that anchors the
concrete and forms a screwing part to screw the connector in the beam.

Abstract: A method to construct and detect a binary transmit signal is
disclosed. The method is based on the assumption that certain decision
errors are less severe than other decision errors, as e.g. in
transmission schemes employing ARQ. To this purpose, the important
information (e.g. the acknowledgement ACK) is transmitted with high
power, whereas the less important information (e.g. the
non-acknowledgement NACK) is transmitted with reduced power. An
asymmetric modulation scheme is obtained. The detection threshold to
decide at the receiver which of the two signals was transmitted is
chosen such that the reliability of a detected ACK signal is higher than
that of a detected NACK signal. The scheme has the advantage that the
average power consumption decreases and further that in multi-user CDMA
systems the average interference is reduced.

Abstract: In a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) pre-purification process for a feed gas
prior to its introduction into a cryogenic distillation unit, at least four adsorbent beds
are used. There is performed on each bed the steps, performed in a cyclical manner, of feed,
blowdown, purge and repressurisation in a repeating sequence. Optionally, a bed-to-bed
pressure equalisation step is employed in the process. The resulting process
provides for continual repressurisation during the cycle and a constant flow rate of
purified feed gas to the distillation unit.
