Abstract: A packet transfer device that can be easily realized even when a number of input ports is large. Each input buffer temporarily stores entered packets class by class, and outputs packets of a selected class specified by the control unit, while the control unit determines the selected class of packets to be outputted from the input buffers according to a packet storage state in the packet storage units of the input buffers as a whole for each class. Each input buffer can temporarily store entered packets while selecting packets to be outputted at a next phase, and the control unit can specify packets to be selected in the input buffers according to an output state of packets previously selected in the input buffers as a whole. Packets stored in the buffer can be managed in terms of a plurality of groups, and each packet entered at the buffer can be distributed into a plurality of groups so that packets are distributed fairly among flows. The packets belonging to one of a plurality of groups are then outputted from the buffer toward the output port. A packet transfer at the buffer can be controlled by issuing a packet transfer command according to a log of packet transfer commands with respect to the buffer and a packet storage state of the buffer.

Abstract: A phase error detecting method applied to a VSB receiver or a QAM receiver includes the steps of recovering Q-channel data by digitally filtering transmitted I-channel data, correcting the phases of the I-channel data and the Q-channel data according to a fed-back phase error, deciding an I-channel level value approximating the phase-corrected I-channel data among predetermined I-channel level values, obtaining a phase error value by subtracting the decided I-channel level value from the phase-corrected I-channel data, and multiplying the sign of the component of the difference by the difference, and applying a weight from a predetermined weighting function to the phase error value, and outputting the value as a weighted phase error value. Thus, the reliability of phase error detection can be increased.

Abstract: The method involves selecting required data on engine parameters from a mapped table. The data is passed to a decoder in a separate memory. The decoded data is sent to a second memory. A reference signal is generated for use as one input to a multiplier. A vibration detector signal is used as the other input to the multiplier. The multiplied signal is then rectified. The rectified signal is integrated. The integrator is then set to zero with a signal from the decoder. A presence or absence of the signal is determined based upon a comparison of the integrated signal with a given threshold.

IPC: G01B5/30
Filed: 1997-10-17
Abstract: A twin beam displacement transducer. The transducer utilizes two thin, flexible beams. The two beams either lay intimately on top of one another or both lay intimately on opposite sides of a common spacer. One of the beams, the neutral beam, is rigidly attached to the housing on one end and to the moving object on the other end. The other beam, the sliding beam, is rigidly attached only to the moving object. The other end of the sliding beam is free to move. As the object moves, both the neutral beam and the sliding beam bend. Such bending causes longitudinal displacement of the free end of the sliding beam within the housing. This motion is measured and correlated to the motion of the object, and an electrical output signal is created which is proportional to such motion.
