Abstract: Disclosed is an improved two-piece SIM card-receiving connector (1) comprising a housing (2) having terminals (5) mounted therein, and a card holder (3) having a card-receiving section (18) for receiving the SIM card. The card holder (3) is slidably mounted to the housing (2) by way of ledges (26a,26b,27a,27b) formed on side edges of the card holder (3) guided within channels (9) formed along both sides of the housing (2). The housing (2) includes a lock lever (13) having a latch projection (15) extending therefrom. The latch projection engages a corresponding recess (28) formed on the card holder (3) to lock the card holder and housing in an assembled condition. The two-piece construction allows the housing to be easily and automatically assembled to an underlying circuit board, and the sliding assembly of the card holder to the housing provides "self-cleaning" of the terminals during both assembly and removal of the card holder to the housing.

Abstract: An integrated digital circuit is protected from reverse engineering by fabricating all transistors of like conductivity (2, 4, 6, 30; 12, 14, 16, 32) with a common size and geometric layout, providing a common layout for different logic cells, connecting doped circuit elements of like conductivity with electrically conductive doped implants (C) in the substrate (38) rather than metalized interconnections, and providing non-functional apparent interconnections that are interrupted by non-discernable channel stops (CSO) so that all cells falsely appear to have a common interconnection scheme. The camouflage is enhanced by providing a uniform pattern of metal leads (8, 18, 28, 34) over the transistor array, with a uniform pattern of heavily doped implant taps (ST, DT) from the transistors for connection to the leads; undesired tap-lead connections are blocked by channel stops.

Title: Timing recovery scheme for packet speech in multiplexing environment of voice with data applications
Inventor: SHLOMOT EYAL
IPC: G10L19/06
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: Multiple speech bit-stream frame buffers 11, 35 are used between the controller 30 and the speech decoder 10. Whenever excessive or missing speech packages are detected, the speech decoder 10 switches to a special corrective mode. If there is too much, the buffered frames are played out fast; if there is too little the buffered frames are played out slowly. For the fast play, some speech information has to be discarded, while for the slow play some speech-like information has to be synthesized. The speech may be handled in sub-frame units, which may be 52 samples at a time. Low energy, silent or unvoiced sub-frames, which also indicate non-periodicity, are detected and manipulated 129, 130. Moreover, the decoded signal is manipulated at the excitation phase 125, 130 before the final LPC synthesis filter 140, resulting in a transparent perceptual effect on the manipulated speech quality. Additionally, the buffers 11 are enlarged such that the problem caused by controller 30 asynchronicity is eliminated. Further, for bulk delay caused by multiplexing data and speech transmissions, the buffers 11 maintain the smallest number of speech packets 32 necessary to prevent buffer 11 underflow during a data packet transmission while minimizing speech delay and preserving data transmission efficiency.

Abstract: Fuel is supplied by a pump into a high pressure part, and fuel feed to cylinders is controlled by solenoid valves. In the case of failure, fuel is supplied in an angled sector, in which the supply does not influence the torque. This is in the lower dead centre area of the cylinder concerned. The supplied fuel volume causes a pressure drop in the high pressure part. The volume of fuel supplied causes a flow limiter in the part to stop the fuel flow. This applies only to the faulty cylinder. Supply is within an angled sector of 100 degrees and 200 degrees crankshaft after the upper dead centre of the cylinder concerned.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission with a reduced axial dimension according to the present invention, the axial length of the mission case is maintained with a view to ensuring a mounting portion of the valve body. Despite a reduced axial length of the rear cover, load based on the operation of the brake is appropriately confined to the inside of rear cover. An extending portion 16f protruding toward the inside of the mission case 15, to which the multi-plate brake B5 is securely fitted, is formed on the rear cover 6. Due to the hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic servo 77, the piston 76 is caused to extend to operate the brake B5. Then, a force arises in such a manner to detach the cylinder 75 serving to support a reaction force from the extending portion 6f to which the pressing force from the above-mentioned piston 76 is applied. However, since the cylinder 75 and the extending portion 16f are both formed in the rear case 16, said detaching force is confined to the inside of the case 16 without being applied to the mission case 15.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objet étage amplificateur comprenant une paire différentielle (T1, T2) et accompagné d'une échelle de résistance (R1...R2n) aux bornes des deuxièmes électrodes de commande de ladite paire différentielle. Des prises placées aux emplacements des miroirs le long de l'échelle de résistance (R1...R2n) sont connectées de façon à pouvoir être commutées sur le premier et le deuxième transistors de source de courant (T3, T4), les électrodes e commande de ces transistors étant connectées aux premières électrodes principales des transistors formant la paire différentielle. Les commutateurs étant placés en série avec les transistors de source de courant (T3, T4), l'influence de l'impédance non linéaire des commutateurs est réduite à un niveau négligeable, dans la mesure où l'impédance de sortie des transistors de source de courant (T3, T4) est nettement supérieure à l'impédance des commutateurs. On obtient ainsi une impédance à conversion linéaire, qui résulte en un étage amplificateur à gain commutable et à distorsion réduite.
