Abstract: A blind equalization technique uses both the "constant modulus algorithm" (CMA) and the "multimodulus algorithm" (MMA) during blind start-up. This approach provides the basis for a "transition algorithm." One example of a transition algorithm is the CMA-MMA transition algorithm in which an adaptive filter simply switches from CMA to MMA. Other examples are variations of the CMA-MMA transition algorithm and are illustrated by the "Constant Rotation CMA-MMA" transition algorithm and the "Dynamic Rotation CMA-MMA" transition algorithm.

Abstract: Procédé et dispositif de compression conçus pour être utilisés dans un traitement de données d'images dans lesquelles des images à pixels bidimensionnels possèdent des valeurs respectives de profondeur absolue spécifiées pour chaque pixel, les données de profondeur devant être nécessairement comprimées préalablement à leur transmission ou à leur mémorisation avec les données d'images. Ce procédé de compression des données de profondeur par image consiste d'abord à déterminer des pièces de pixels contigus de l'image (90), ces pixels d'une pièce possédant les mêmes valeurs de profondeur ou des valeurs semblables, et à attribuer une valeur de profondeur commune à tous les pixels de la pièce. Les pièces de pixels possédant les mêmes valeurs communes de profondeur de pixel, ou des valeurs semblables, sont regroupées (92) et une valeur commune de profondeur est attribuée à tous les pixels des pièces regroupées de cette façon, la zone ou le nombre de pixels de l'image possédant cette valeur de profondeur étant ensuite déterminés (94) pour chaque valeur discrète de profondeur de pixel. La valeur de profondeur de chacun des pixels concernés est modifiée (100), pour la plus petite de ces zones, à la valeur discrète de profondeur existante la plus proche. La détermination de la zone la plus petite et la réattribution conséquente de la valeur de profondeur sont ensuite répétées jusqu'à ce que reste seulement un nombre N prédéterminé (par exemple, 16 ou 32) de valeurs discrètes de profondeur. La réattribution des valeurs de profondeur par rapport aux profondeurs de pixels contigus signifie que les données de profondeur réduites aux niveaux discrets N peuvent être ensuite codées par longueur de ligne, de manière à obtenir une diminution importante du volume des données de profondeur.

Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a mobile terminal (2) on which different communications applications (4a to 4d) may be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications (4a to 4d) via a satellite (12) to a network management centre (18) which provides different service adaptors (20a to 20d) which adapt the calls to different types of service provided over terrestrial networks (22), such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied during the call according to demand either from the relevant application (4) or from the network management centre (18). Multiple calls may be connected concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call. Efficient use is thereby made of the limited bandwidth available over the satellite (12), according to the instantaneous bandwidth requirements of different applications (4). For real-time calls requiring multiple slots per frame in a TDMA channel, the slots are mutually spaced apart to reduce delay.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for filling and sealing a pressure vessel with
high pressure gas using a sealing element which allows a gas fill and weld head
assembly to form a reliable, reusable gas tight seal with the surface of the pressure
vessel each time the filling and sealing operation is performed. The sealing element
is made of a relatively hard, gas impermeable material having a knife edge which
bites into the surface of the pressure vessel to form a gas tight seal between the
sealing element and the surface of the pressure vessel. As the sealing element is
made of a relatively hard, gas impermeable material, such as steel, the high pressure
gas and stall molecule gasses do not permeate into nor diffuse rapidly out of the
sealing element, and thus the integrity of the sealing element is maintained over
repeated use. The present invention is particularly suited for filling and sealing
airbag canisters, but may be used in any application wherein a pressure vessel must
be filled and sealed with high pressure gas.

Abstract: A vehicle power steering system (5) uses an electric motor (12)
to drive a pump (14) at a variable speed to provide power steering fluid at a
variable flow for power assist to operator steering efforts. The system has a
speed control (24) for the electric motor which derives a command speed
signal from a power steering load signal, senses motor speed and controls
electric power to the motor in response thereto to vary the speed of the
electric motor in the direction of the command speed signal. In a switching
region of the power steering fluid pressure signal, the speed control switches
(126) between a low speed for standby operation and a higher speed to supply
the power steering operation demands. The speed control modifies (128) the
switch-point load value in response to the power steering fluid temperature
sensor (48) to compensate for temperature dependent losses. Separate switch-points
are preferably provided for increasing and decreasing power steering
load to provide hysteresis; and both switch-points are preferably compensated.
