Patent EP-0789225-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HAMBERGER WERNER DIPL-ING
IPC: B62D1/28
Filed: 1997-01-30
Abstract: A process for identifying the curve of a road from a digital map uses digitally-given coordinate points (N1-N5) on the length of road in question. By these the road is dived into segments (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z5), with most points (e.g. N2, N3) representing both the end of one segment and the beginning of another. From this information it is possible to identify which segments correspond to a basic curve in the road, determined by the angle (alpha 2, alpha 3) between two successive points and the length of road between them. By progressive processing, using a geometric form (d) such as the curve of the circumference, from the start-point of this first segment to the end-point of the last segment, the radius (R) of the actual curve can be discovered.

Abstract: Given a large number of memory banks (101-103) in an
expandable memory system, the amount of capacitive loading on the memory
bus (40, 38) may be excessive. If the memory controller (14) is designed to
operation with a heavily loaded memory bus, the system is non-optimum for a
lightly loaded system. The present invention dynamically inserts a one-half
clock delay (503,506) if the memory bus (40,38) loading is determined to be
heavily loaded. By delaying both RAS and CAS by one-half of a clock cycle,
there is no need to degrade the system performance when the system is lightly
loaded.

Abstract: A method of accurately circumferentially orienting the output shaft of each of a plurality of oscillating gob distribution drive units (S) with respect to one another and with respect to a support device (T) used to support a plurality of gob chutes. A fixture (10) having a slot (22) extending therethrough is secured to the output shaft of each of the drive units and in a fixed circular position relative thereto. The positions of the output shafts are adjusted to bring the slots into alignment with one another by inserting the shank portion (42) of a zeroing bar (40) into the slots of the fixtures, and the position of the support device is circumferentially adjusted to bring a recess therein into a predetermined circular orientation with respect to a step end portion (46) of the zeroing bar. The support devices are then vertically positioned with respect to one another by positioning the position bars (64) of a step fixture (60) into recesses (26) of the fixtures, the step fixture having portions that are adapted to engage the support devices when the support devices are properly vertically positioned.

Abstract: An implantable antitachyarrhythmia device having
the capability of detecting multiple tachyarrhythmias,
such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular
fibrillation and capable of delivering multiple
therapies, such as antitachycardia pacing, cardioversion
and defibrillation. In order to assist the physician in
understanding the progress of the device toward
detecting a tachyarrhythmia and to better understand the
operation of the therapy provided by the device, the
device transmits information related to these functions
on a beat by beat basis, as a supplement to marker
signals associated with paced and sensed heart events.
The information telemetry regarding detection allows the
physician to determine how the particular R-R interval
preceding the telemetry has effected the internal counts
or other diagnostic parameters required to accomplish
tachyarrhythmia detection. Similarly, in conjunction
with stimulus pulses, the device transmits information
indicative of which of the available therapy regimens is
presently in effect.

Abstract: The method involves producing a useful signal by subtracting an estimated echo from an input signal which has an echo path response. The echo path response produces a non-linearity between amplitude and phase. The real echo is produced by subtracting the useful input signal from the input signal and generating an error signal. An adaptive filter is updated as a function of a signal which minimises the error. The next echo is calculated by adaptively filtering the useful signal. A bandpass filter is used to filter the real echo signal.

Abstract: Système et procédé de rétreinte d'une extrémité supérieure (10) d'un récipient métallique réduisant l'incidence de défauts tels que plis et renflements au cours du procédé de rétreinte, consistant à effectuer une première opération de réduction du rayon de cette extrémité supérieure sur une première distance, puis à réduire progressivement le rayon de la partie supérieure et à effectuer une pluralité d'opérations de réductions ultérieures sur l'extrémité supérieure. Pour plus d'efficacité les opérations de réduction ultérieures sont réalisées de telle sorte que l'ampleur de la réduction de rayon appliquée précédemment soit inférieure à l'ampleur de la réduction de rayon appliquée ultérieurement. Dans ces conditions, les accroissements de l'épaisseur des parois se produisant au cours des opérations de réduction ultérieures seront mises à profit pour permettre une réduction radiale supérieure lors des étapes suivantes, et renforceront la réduction radiale effectuée au cours des étapes précédentes, ce qui réduit le risque de défauts tels que renflements et plis.
