Patent EP-0694883-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKURAI TAKASHI
IPC: G07B15/00
Filed: 1995-07-19
Abstract: After a vehicle-mounted unit determines that a vehicle has entered a toll chargeable area (101, 301), if communication is determined to be allowable through a flag F (102), communication operations are performed (103, 303) and after finishing communication operations, the flag F is set and communication operations thereafter are prohibited (104). Next, the unit determines if a travel distance N has exceeded a toll chargeable distance A (105, 307). The travel distance N is measured by counting the number of vehicular speed pulses received after the end of the communication operations (Steps 201, 202), and the toll chargeable distance A is set to be equal or greater than the travel distance needed by the vehicle to enter the communication area and leave it. If it is determined that travel distance N has exceeded toll chargeable distance (307), the flag F is reset, communication prohibition is released and communication thereafter is allowed (106).

Abstract: To transmit digital TV and/or radio signals in coaxial cable networks from a head station to subscribers, quadrature amplitude modulation with two orthogonal carrier signals is usually used. However, this method is not well suited for transmission in the return channel from the subscribers to the central station. Subscriber signals are transmitted in burst operation and at the receiver end there is not enough time for accurate phase carrier signal recovery. For carrier frequency transmission of digital signals in burst operation, therefore, the digital signals undergo a single band amplitude modulation before transmission. This modulation preferably raises the signals by more than two amplitude steps. The amplitude modulated signals can then be transmitted over coaxial cables (K1,..K8).

Abstract: An equalization apparatus for use in a television system includes a equalizer filter having a plurality of equalizer coefficients and an updating circuit. In the updating circuit, the equalizer coefficients are adjusted by using two computational terms: a CMA term; and a Cauchy term in order to effectively make the equalizer to converge to the global minimum of the coarse MSE function all the time. Both terms decrease to zero as the equalizer coefficients approach to a minimum, but in different ways: the first CMA term decreases to zero monotonously; and the value of the second Cauchy term fluctuates up and down, depending on the selected value for the Cauchy distribution function and thus temporary increases, although contained, are allowed during the process. A combination of the two terms with a proper choice for the weight factors prevents the equalizer coefficients from converging to a local minimum of the coarse MSE function and makes them converge to the global minimum thereof all the time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dough intended for use in producing bakery products is homogenized and advanced to extrusion nozzles 65 where it is cut into successive pieces 72 that fall onto a moving conveyor 68. The pieces are of precisely uniform weight because a constant pressure is maintained on the dough as it is forwarded by a metering pump 13 toward the nozzles. Apparatus for achieving such result includes an auger 32, a developer 36 positioned downstream from the auger, and a transition chamber 12 fed by the developer and located upstream from the metering pump 13. A pressure-measuring monitor 52 serves to control the rotational speed of the auger, thereby maintaining the dough under constant pressure within the apparatus.

Abstract: A process for making a vertical PNP transistor and a transistor made by the process includes providing a highly doped semiconductor substrate (10) of P conductivity type. A first lightly doped P-layer (12) is epitaxially grown on the substrate (10). An N+ type buried layer impurity (18) is introduced into a surface region of the first lightly doped layer (12) that will underlie and define an island in which the vertical transistor will be constructed. A second lightly doped P- layer (16) is epitaxially grown on the first lightly doped layer (12) and the buried layer impurity (18). An N+ type isolation impurity is diffused into the second layer to form wells to laterally enclose an island (22) of the second layer (16) above the buried layer impurity (18). An N type base impurity (28) is diffused into the island (22) region of the second layer (16), and a P type emitter impurity (30) is diffused into the base region (28). A collector resistivity adjusting impurity (25) may optionally be diffused into the second layer (16) to reduce the collector resistance of the PNP transistor that is formed. Various steps in the construction of the vertical PNP transistor, such as diffusing the isolation impurity (18), diffusing the base impurity (28), and diffusing the emitter impurity (30), may be performed simultaneously with corresponding steps of a BiCMOS process.

Abstract: A mixer section is combined with a post-mixer linearizer to counteract the nonlinear transconductance characteristics of the RF input section of the mixer thereby increasing the overall linear response of the mixer. The post-mixer linearizer has a response that is increasingly non-linear outside the non-linear operating range of the RF input section. This non-linear response compensates for the decreasingly non-linear response of the RF input section. Current mirrors in the post-mixer linearizer increase the rail-to-rail headroom of the mixer while maintaining high gain. An input driver is coupled to the mixer that provides quick switching transitions in the mixer to reduce noise effects. The mixer also includes a gain control circuit that provides linear-in-decibel gain control.

Abstract: The present invention includes a satellite based telecommunications system having an earth station network which enables user terminals to remain registered with a single visitor location register independent of satellite movement so long as the terminal remains within a fixed geographic location area. The preferred embodiment includes multiple earth stations which communicate with user terminals via coverage satellites. Each user terminal is registered with a single visitor location register. As the user passes between location areas, the user terminal re-registers at a new associated visitor location register. Earth stations and mobile-services switching center/visitor location registers (MSC/VLRs) are interconnected along a dedicated earth station network link. Communications data is passed along the earth station network link between MSC/VLRs and earth stations in a compressed and/or encoded format. Each MSC/VLR is interconnected along a terrestrial network link with a gateway and the public switching telephone network. Communications data is passed along the terrestrial network link in a decompressed and/or decoded format. Optionally, MSC/VLRs may be located physically remote from earth stations. When MSC/VLRs and earth stations are provided at a common physical site, a modem switch is provided to selectively interconnect the earth station and MSC/VLR and the earth station network link. Earth stations and MSC/VLRs communicate along the earth station network through wide area network interfaces.
