Abstract: The method involves exchanging information between transmitting - and reception arrangements comprised in component blocks, where usage data is sent to and received from a superior unit. When a first type of usage data is received the units access individually associated time channels of a time-multiplexed system formed on a data bus. The units access at least one common time channel, available to all units when a second type of usage data is received. A collision detection channel is formed for each of the common time channels on an collision detection bus forming a loop, connected to all units, for the avoidance of collisions during the access on a common time channel. The units send out the usage data on the collision detection channel apart from on the common time channel, and they receive the data again in a backward direction. The units interrupt or continue the usage data transmission dependent on if the data, transmitted back on the collision detection channel, are changed through coincidences with data sent out simultaneously by other units. The exchange of information between the building units (SLM) occurs in time channels, which are formed on the collision detection bus (CD-B).

Abstract: In a conveyance path made up of guide plates which
guide a copy sheet to the transfer region between the
photoreceptor and the opposing transfer device and a second
guide plate for conveying the copy sheet to the fixing
rollers, the guide plates and the fixing rollers including
the pre-fixing guide, which all will be in contact with copy
sheets, are grounded via a common resistor having a high
resistance. An adjuster resistor is interposed in series
between the common resistor and the guide plates positioned
before transfer which are closer from the transfer region
compared to the fixing rollers. When a copy sheet resides
across the transfer region with both sides in contact with
the guide plates and fixing rollers or with one side in
contact, the total current that flows during a transfer
operation is practically determined by the common resistor
which has a high resistance. Accordingly, the flowing
current can be limited within a certain range, thus it is
possible to stabilize the transfer potential and hence to
achieve a stabilized transfer operation.

Abstract: The filter circuit has a delay circuit (3) with at least two memory cells. There is a first matching circuit (1) to which is fed an image signal consisting of a sequence of individual image dots, and whose output signals are superimposed in a superimposition stage (4), with a filtered image signal as its output. The matching circuit introduces to the image signal approximately the same amplitude change as does the delay circuit, and the difference in the delay of their output signals corresponds to a reference value. The unfiltered image signal is fed to a second matching circuit (2) which introduces approximately the same amplitude and delay changes to the image signal, as the first matching circuit. A changeover circuit (6) alternatively de-activates the second matching circuit or the delay circuit to switch the operation of the comb filter on and off.

Abstract: A method of reading data from a disc carrier having a spiral information track comprising reading data from the track into a solid state buffer memory to allow for a continuous replay of the information when shocks cause misalignment of the reading head and the track. After a shock the reading head is recovered to a position ahead of where the shock commenced and as soon as good data is detected it is written to the buffer memory in a location which leaves a gap between the currently written data and that written before the shock occurred. When the disc rotates so that the reading head is radially in line with the position when the shock commenced it is moved into that position and the gap in the buffer memory is filled with the data which was missed during the shock. The application of the method to a shock FIFO for a CD Audio player is described.

Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: Cette invention présente un certain nombre d'architectures de complexité réduite destinées à désétaler des signaux de communications à spectre étalé à séquence directe. Dans une première architecture de désétalement pour une unité de retrait de séquence, les échantillons complexes reçus à éléments espacés sont inversés en fonction de la phase traitée d'une séquence d'étalement complexe. En outre, les valeurs d'échantillons en phase et à quadrature de phase sont commutées entre elles en fonction de la phase traitée. Dans une deuxième architecture de désétalement, dans une unité de retrait de séquence, les échantillons complexes reçus à éléments espacés sont traités dans le domaine logarithmique, où la phase de la séquence d'étalement complexe est ajoutée à la phase détectée, et le signal complexe qui en résulte est ensuite reconverti en coordonnées cartésiennes. Dans une troisième architecture de désétalement pour un corrélateur, les opérations de retrait de séquence et de corrélation sont effectuées dans le domaine logarithmique où on calcule la moyenne arithmétique des amplitudes et des phases du signal complexe résultant et on les reconvertit en coordonnées cartésiennes. Dans une quatrième architecture de désétalement, également pour un corrélateur, les opérations de retrait de séquence et de corrélation sont effectuées dans le domaine logarithmique à l'aide d'un calcul de moyenne circulaire. Dans une cinquième architecture de désétalement, également pour un corrélateur, où des séquences constituantes multiples sont combinées les unes aux autres pour former une séquence globale et où l'une de ces multiples séquences constituantes est partagée par tous les canaux, un retrait de séquence commun est prévu pour retirer la séquence partagée de tous les canaux. Les signaux qui en résultent sont ensuite envoyés à plusieurs corrélateurs individuels pour effectuer le retrait de séquences spécifiques de canaux.

modules on the network. A postal security device (40) (PSD) is coupled directly to a
local one of the client printer modules (20, 22). The PSD (40) includes unique
identification, postal value storage and a digital signature generator. The client
printer modules (20, 22) function as a postage metering network (10) wherein one of
the client printer modules remote to the PSD (40) requests evidence of postage
payment from the PSD (40) through the local client printer module for concluding
postage metering transactions. The local client printer module functions as a stand-alone
meter when requests for evidence of postage payment from the PSD are
initiated at the local client printer module. The local client printer module initiates
local requests for evidence of postage payment to be printed at the local client
printer modules and receives remote requests for evidence of postage payment
from the remote client printer modules. The remote requests include identification
of the remote client printer modules. The local client printer module sends each
request for evidence of postage payment to the PSD (40) and receives from the
PSD (40) the evidence of postage payment including a digital signature
corresponding to each request for evidence of postage payment;. The local client
printer module sends the evidence of postage payment to the remote client printer
modules in response to the remote request, and prints the evidence of postage
payment in response to the local request.

Abstract: Video and audio data of a plurality of
received programs and a common information ECM are
recorded to a recording medium. A recording position
of the program. is written on a management table. When
reproducing a desired one of the recorded programs, the
ECM is also reproduced together with the video and
audio data. The data to retrieve the desired program
and an individual information EMM are transmitted
through a broadcasting wave. To descramble the
reproduced video and audio data, the reproduced ECM and
the received EMM are used. Since the individual
information EMM is the latest information, even if
there is a time lag between the recording time point
and the reproducing time point, the reliability of the
conditional access is not deteriorated.
