Patent EP-1332619-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHAFFER JAMES D
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing personalized supplemental programming content that enhances primary programming content. Enhanced program content is automatically and selectively triggered in accordance with a viewer profile. The viewer profile provides a numerical representation indicating the viewer's level of interest a number of attributes. A disclosed viewer preference learning process dynamically adjusts the numerical representations set forth in the viewer profile based on the viewer's acceptance or rejection of enhanced program content. The viewer's profile is thus automatically adjusted by observing the viewer's reactions to presented enhancement content. The inferences contained in the viewer profile that automatically trigger the display of individual enhanced program content are strengthened or weakened based on the viewer's acceptance or rejection of enhanced program content, or based on an inferred determination as to whether the viewer enjoyed presented enhanced program content.

Abstract: A microwave amplifier and more particularly to a microwave amplifier configured as a
Doherty amplifier. The amplifier includes a carrier amplifier, a peak amplifier, a Lange coupler
at the input of the amplifiers and quarter wave amplifier at the output of the amplifiers. In order
to further increase the efficiency, the Doherty amplifier is formed from HEMT/HBT technology
to take advantage of the low-noise performance of HEMTs and the high-linearity of HBTs to
form a relatively efficient amplifier that functions as a low-noise amplifier at low power levels
and automatically switches to high-power amplification for relatively high-impact RF power
levels.

Abstract: A vibration damper 46 for a gas turbine engine has
convergent friction surfaces 48a and 48b and is located
radially inward of the platforms 20a and 20b of two
adjacent turbine blades. The angle subtended by the
friction surfaces 48a and 48b is smaller than that
subtended by the angled faces 22a and 22b associated with
the platforms 20a and 20b. The centre of mass of the damper
46 lies in a plane bisecting the angle subtended by the
friction surfaces 48a and 48b. In use the damper 46 is
urged radially outwards by centrifugal force so that at
least one of the friction surfaces 48a and 48b makes planar
contact with at least one of the angled faces 22a and 22b.
Vibrational energy is dissipated by the resultant sliding
movement between the friction surfaces 48a and 48b and the
angled faces 22a and 22b. A secondary vibration damping
mechanism arises from the oscillation of the damper 46
between the platforms 20a and 20b.

Abstract: A circuit and method are disclosed for reducing soft
errors in dynamic memory devices using error checking and
correcting. In an exemplary embodiment, a memory device
includes a dual port memory having a first port for
externally-initiated memory access operations and a second
port for handling memory access operations associated with
error checking and error correction operations. An error
module, coupled to the second port of the dual port
memory, performs an error checking operation on words read
from the dual port memory. An error controller, coupled
to the error module, controls the error module to perform
error check operations on each word sequentially read from
the dual port memory through the second port thereof. The
error checking is performed substantially in parallel with
externally-initiated memory access operations performed
using the first port of the dual port memory. The error
module may also generate a corrected word for a word that
is detected by the error module as having a correctable
error. The error controller may replace in the dual port
memory the word having the correctable error with the
corrected word.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système d'interaction web permettant à un téléphone mobile d'avoir une interaction automatique avec des ressources web. Ce système d'interaction web comprend un moteur de recherche qui fonctionne sur des données de format XML, translatées à partir de données obtenues à partir d'un site web, le moteur de recherche analysant les événements XML en événements SAX qui sont ensuite interrogés par le moteur de recherche. Des moteurs de recherche traditionnels analysent XML dans un arbre de modèle objet de données (DOM) et non les événements SAX; les arbres DOM peuvent toutefois occuper un espace  mémoire important. D'autre part, les événement SAX peuvent être interrogés au fur et à mesure que l'analyse avance (c.-à-d. qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'attendre la construction d'un arbre DOM entier avant d'effectuer les interrogations). Ne pas avoir besoin d'attendre la totalité d'un document web pour télécharger est un avantage majeur, sinon il se formerait un important goulot d'étranglement.

Abstract: A fuel injector (11) supplies liquid fuel to a catalytic combustor (9) of a fuel reforming device during startup of a fuel reforming device. A controller sets the injection amount (Qf) for liquid fuel to a first injection amount (Qf1) during a predetermined time (t1) after starting fuel injection. After the predetermined time, the injection amount (Qf) is set to a second injection amount (Qf2) which is larger than the first injection amount (Qf1). When the elapsed time after starting fuel injection is smaller than a value (t1), the discharged amount of uncombusted fuel is reduced by setting the injection amount (Qf) to a minimum injection amount (Qf1) which allows ignition and combustion in the catalyst.
