Patent EP-1147817-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ESTELLE PETER W
IPC: B05D1/26
Filed: 2001-03-17
Abstract: An electrically operated fluid dispenser for dispensing a pattern of
viscous fluid onto a substrate during a run mode. The dispenser is turned off
and does not dispense the viscous fluid during a standby mode of operation.
The dispenser includes a dispenser body having an outlet (34) and an armature (60)
disposed in the dispenser body for movement between an opened position
allowing a fluid flow from the outlet and a closed position preventing the fluid flow
from the outlet. A coil (70) is mounted adjacent the armature and selectively
generates an electromagnetic field for moving the armature between the opened
and closed positions. A controller includes different apparatus and methods for
using the coil as a heater as well as providing other heat transfer devices on the
dispensing valve to maintain a constant temperature either, during only the run
mode or, during both, the run and the standby modes. 
     The above dispensing valve heating control facilitates a design of
an electrically operated fluid dispenser having a body with a fluid passage
intersecting first and second sides of the body and a dispensing outlet in fluid
communication with the fluid passage. The dispenser includes a heater and has
feed member mounted to the first side of the body with one end of the fluid
passage in the feed plate fluidly connecting with one end of the fluid passage in
the dispenser body. The dispenser also has a cap mounted to the second side
of the dispenser body to terminate the fluid passage on the second side of the
dispenser body.

Abstract: In a voice communication system 1, a gateway server 4 receives IP
packets from the Internet, converts PCM voice data in the IP packets into
AMR encoded voice data frames, and transmits to a mobile terminal 7.
During the propagation to the gateway server 4, there is a possibility of loss
of IP packets and crucial bit error in IP packets. In that case, the gateway
server 4 puts "No data" data on frames as voice encoded data for the IP
packets in question and sends it to the mobile terminal 7. The "No data"
data is a target of concealment.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for calibrating a mathematical model of a
component using prototype full-field experimentally collected
deformation/strain data. Specifically, the method involves obtaining actual
experimental field data using strain sensitive coating material and then
mapping said data on a CAD mesh model. The analytical mesh model is then
compared to a finite element model that is based on theoretical values
referred to as boundary conditions. The finite element model boundary
conditions are then calibrated to reflect the values derived from the
experimental field measurements. Once calibrated, the model can be used to
optimize design of components.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding a picture is provided. 
     A plurality of input picture
data are stored, and the quantity of the information of the input
picture data from the plural stored picture data is evaluated
for detecting a scene change. A GOP of a preset unit length, made
up of a picture formed by compression by intra-frame coding and
a picture formed by compression by inter-frame predictive coding,
is selected based upon a scene change detection output and the
input picture data is encoded in a pre-set manner in accordance
with the selected GOP. By detecting a scene change and selecting
the intra-frame coding as a compression method responsive to
scene change detection, the compression efficiency is raised at
a scene change portion of the input picture data where the
correlation between previous and succeeding pictures is lowered.

IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2001-03-05
Abstract: Vulnerability of an optical network to channel impairments or the like, is
addressed by utilizing real-time monitoring and control of one or more prescribed
optical channel impairments. The one or more impairments are compensated for
by employing an optimization process in the optical network such that the optical
signals from the source or sources of the impairments are controllably adjusted at
any particular node in the network. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the
optical signals are attenuated more or less at the source node of the associated
optical channel, e.g., wavelength  λ,  in order to optimize performance of the
corresponding optical channel in the network. This is realized by employing a
variable optical attenuator at the λ laser source of optical channel having the
impairment. More specifically, in a particular embodiment of the invention, the
optical signal impairment is measured at a receiving node and the source node of
the associated optical channel is determined. Then, a control message is
transmitted to the identified source node indicating that a variable optical
attenuator associated with the corresponding optical channel light source, e.g., λ
laser source, is to be adjusted to insert more or less attenuation as the case may be.
This measurement and adjustment process is iterated until the corresponding
optical channel yields optimum performance for the impairment being measured.

Abstract: A method for filtering digital data using techniques
normally utilized for data compression prior to
transmission or storage. These techniques include
codebooks and codewords as found with vector quantization
and the approach of using look-up tables as found in
hierarchical vector quantization. The method described
herein achieves exemplary filtering results by using the
above techniques in an overlapping fashion rather than
being directed in the usual manner so as to achieve data
compression. The codewords thus generated by this series
of overlapping look-up stages are approximations of the
input data neighborhoods. The method achieves filtering by
the processing and applying of a mapping function to these
output codewords, thereby associating filter output values
to the input digital data.
