Abstract: Circuit d'interface pour ligne téléphonique bifilaire, comportant un circuit d'attaque (10) assurant l'alimentation en courant continu par l'intermédiaire de la ligne (13), un générateur de tension commandée (14), un circuit détecteur (12) servant à contrôler le courant de ligne, un circuit de commande (15) commandant une tension de sortie (CV) du générateur de tension, et un circuit commutateur (11). Le circuit de commande commande le circuit commutateur de manière qu'il produise, à titre de tension d'alimentation (DV) pour le circuit d'attaque, une tension de batterie (BV) lorsque la ligne est à l'état ''combiné accroché'', ou la tension commandée de sortie du générateur de tension lorsque la ligne est à l'état ''combiné décroché'', cette tension de sortie étant commandée de manière à assurer une limitation du courant à l'état ''combiné décroché''. Le circuit de commande commande également le circuit commutateur de manière qu'il fournisse de manière sélective la tension commandée de sortie du générateur de tension, sous forme de tension de signalisation, à l'un au moins des fils (TV, RV) de la ligne, afin de permettre la signalisation à haute tension, par exemple par l'actionnement d'une sonnerie, par l'intermédiaire de la ligne. On décrit les configurations préférées du circuit commutateur.

Title: Instrument pour inciser, ablater et coaguler des tissus
Inventor: DANIEL STEVEN A
IPC: A61B18/04
Filed: 1992-04-03
Abstract: Instrument pour inciser, ablater et coaguler des tissus, présentant une tige (4) en matériau ferromagnétique soudée par fusion à la base d'une pointe conique (2) en cuivre, la partie de la tige adjacente à la base de la pointe conique ayant un diamètre inférieur à celui de la base, de manière à former autour de la tige une région dans laquelle vient se loger une bobine emboîtée (8) de fil laquelle, lorsqu'elle est reliée à une source de courant constant à haute fréquence, chauffe la tige et la pointe à une température proche de la température de Curie de la tige ferromagnétique. A mesure que l'on s'approche de la température de Curie, la tige devient essentiellement non magnétique; l'échauffement diminue pour atteindre une température inférieure à la température de Curie, et le cycle se répète. Grâce aux excellentes interfaces d'échange de chaleur produites par soudage par fusion, l'énergie appliquée aux tissus ou à d'autres charges qui peuvent être non biologiques est régulée étroitement par l'autorégulation de la température. Un manchon ferromagnétique est placé autour de la bobine pour concentrer le flux magnétique dans la tige. Un manchon externe espacé radialement du manchon ferromagnétique et constitué d'un matériau relativement non thermoconducteur s'étend depuis la base de la pointe en s'éloignant de cette dernière pour former le manche de l'instrument.

Abstract: Il est proposé un système antiblocage comportant au moins deux micro-ordinateurs et au moins deux circuits d'entrée/de sortie, lesquels non seulement se surveillent mutuellement, mais aussi surveillent le fonctionnement d'autres composants du système antiblocage. En présence de tensions défectueuses dans le système antiblocage, ou en cas d'erreurs lors de la transmission de signaux, le système d'antiblocage est fiablement mis hors circuit. Grâce à l'intégration d'une pluralité de fonctions de surveillance, en particulier dans les circuits d'entrée/de sortie, ainsi que grâce à la structure redondante du système d'antiblocage, on obtient un niveau de sécurité très élevé, malgré un nombre réduit de composants nécessaires et les faibles coûts de fabrication qui en résultent.

Patent EP-0570984-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BLAUVELT HENRY A
IPC: H04B10/58
Filed: 1993-05-21
Abstract: Noise and distortion due to scattering and reflection in a fiber-optic communications system are suppressed by modulating the optical frequency of (chirping) a laser light source to broaden the spectrum of the laser light output. The broader spectrum spreads the noise produced by an unchirped source over a broader band. A noise and distortion suppression system includes a chirp signal generator coupled to the signal path of an RF input signal carrying information to modulate the laser optical output. In some cases, the frequency of the chirp generating signal may result in second-order intermodulation products falling within the information band. In such cases, the RF input signal is predistorted to offset the expected distortion products.

Filed: 1993-04-27
Abstract: The compensation device is used in an optical network where signals are transmitted from a main station (M) to one or a plurality of user stations (US1 to US3). It compensates for analogue optical signal distortion caused by laser chirp of a laser in the main station (M) which generates said analogue optical signal and fiber dispersion of the fiber link over which the optical signal is transmitted. 
     The device includes a distance measuring device (R) generating a result signal (MS) indicative of the distance between the main station and the user stations and which is possibly already available in the network to perform ranging when the latter network is also used to transmit digital signals from the user stations to the main station using Time Division Multiple Access. It also includes a processing circuit (PC) which in response to a given laser chirp and the result signal, provides a tuning signal (V) to tune the bias voltage of a varactor diode (VD) which is part of the compensation circuit inserted in the electrical signal path. 
     In an optimal implementation the measuring device (R) and the processing circuit (PC) are located in the main station (M), whilst the varactor diode (VD) is located in each user station.

Abstract: The beginning of a segment within a track of a record carrier, having a plurality of frames in each segment, is identified by detecting the presence of a control mark at a given position near the beginning of a frame, and the absence of a control mark at an adjoining position at which a control mark will be found in all other frames of the segment. The other frames of each segment are free from a mark at the given position. The next bit position containing a mark, after the given position and its adjoining position, is the clock bit position used for bit clock synchronization. An apparatus for reading these marks may include a qualification circuit for evaluating the magnitude of the difference in detector output at the given bit position and the adjoining bit position.

Abstract: A communications system query processing element, for example a home location register for a mobile communications system, includes a plurality of application processors (QP-1, QP-2, QP-3). First data such as permanent data (PD-a, PD-b, PD-c) relating to a plurality of mobile subscribers (subscription information etc.) is available at all application processors, whereas second data such as temporary data (TD-a, TD-b, TD-c) relating to the plurality of subscription is partitioned between the application processors. Queries are allocated via a transaction bus (BUS) to an available application processor. If it is not the correct one for the subscriber originating the query, it is redirected via the transaction bus. This arrangement permits a linear growth in terms of database to be achieved with increasing numbers of subscribers by the addition of application processors as necessary and in a manner not involving a processing bottleneck (Fig. 5).
