Abstract: A method of using relative steering wheel angle of an
automotive vehicle, vehicle yaw rate, and vehicle speed to
determine whether the vehicle is travelling forward or
backward. Forward and backward steering wheel angles are
calculated from vehicle speed and yaw rate (22). A
difference between relative steering wheel angle and forward
steering wheel angle (10), and a difference between relative
steering wheel angle and backward steering wheel angle (12)
are calculated. The difference between relative steering
wheel angle and forward steering wheel angle is filtered
(14), and a difference between the filtered and the
unfiltered difference between relative steering wheel angle
and forward steering wheel angle is calculated to obtain a
forward net difference (18). The difference between
relative steering wheel angle and backward steering wheel
angle is filtered (16), and a difference between the
filtered and the unfiltered difference between relative
steering wheel angle and backward steering wheel angle is
calculated to obtain a backward net difference (20). While
repeatedly performing the foregoing steps, forward net
difference values derived from the forward net differences
are accumulated (24), and backward net difference values
derived from the backward net differences are accumulated
(26). The travel direction is determined by comparing the
accumulation of forward net difference values and the
accumulation of backward net difference values (28).
Absolute steering wheel angle and road bank angle can also
be calculated.

Abstract: In a fiber-optical WDM-transmission system channel switching is used to achieve a
high transmission capability and/or quality in spite of the polarization mode dispersion
experienced by pulses propagating along an optical fiber. The WDM-channels having best
transmission properties among the available WDM-channels are used to transmit
high-priority traffic, the remaining channels being used for e.g. low-priority traffic. The
high- and low-priority information arrives on input lines (3, 4) and is switched in a
cross-connect element (7) coupling the high-priority information to the best channels and
the other information to the other channels, the channels being combined in a multiplexer
(9) to be injected in the transmission fiber (1). The light propagating in the fiber is
divided into the respective channels by a demultiplexer (11) which are converted to
electrical signals by receivers (15) and provided to a cross-connect element (13) switching
the channels carrying the high-priority information to output lines (17) and those carrying
the low-priority information to other output lines (18). The receivers provide a measure
of the transmission quality of the received channels to a control unit (19) which sends
signals to the cross-connect elements controlling the switching thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for estimating an amplitude of a readback signal obtained from a data storage medium and input to a gain modifying amplifier involves sensing an amplifier output signal in response to a readback signal applied to the amplifier. An amplifier control signal is produced which is representative of a difference between the amplifier output signal and a reference signal. A compensation signal associated with a temperature coefficient of amplifier gain is generated, and an estimate signal indicative of the amplitude of the readback signal is produced using the compensation signal. The estimate signal is representative of readback signal amplitude when the estimate signal has a magnitude equivalent to that of the difference signal and a polarity opposite that of the difference signal. Generating the compensation signal may further involve generating a first compensation signal having a magnitude proportional to absolute temperature and generating a second compensation signal having a magnitude independent of temperature. The first and second compensation signals may be selectively used to cancel temperature related gain and polarity variations in the amplifier control signal. A circuit for estimating an amplitude of a readback signal includes a variable gain amplifier, a temperature compensation circuit, and a comparator, all of which have an equivalent temperature profile and are provided on a common IC substrate. The circuit, which further includes an N-bit DAC and a logic circuit, may be implemented in a disk drive system.
