Abstract: A digital receiver, for example for digital terrestrial systems, comprises an analog
single-conversion zero intermediate frequency down-converter 12. The down-converter
12 is of the quadrature type and produces quadrature baseband signals I and Q of the
desired RF channel. Digital-analog converters 18, 19 convert the baseband I and Q
signals into the digital domain, where they are up-converted to near zero intermediate
frequency by an up-converter 24, 25, 26, 27,28 and demodulated by the demodulator
29. Quadrature balance which may be degraded in the down-converter 12 is restored in
the up-converter 24-28 by means of a phase adjuster 27 which is controlled by an
algorithm 33 which monitors bit rate errors at various points in the demodulator 29.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus and systems, for processing
text that includes coded (character based) and noncoded (image based) representations of
text. The invention includes deriving a correction factor from a coded representation of a
second unit of text and an original noncoded representation of the second unit of text, and
modifying a representation of a first unit of text in accordance with the correction factor,
where a common font typeface is attributed to both the first and second units. The collection
factor can be calculated by rendering a coded representation of the second unit of text in the
font typeface to generate a rendered representation, calculating a reference ratio from the
rendered representation and an optical density of an original noncoded representation of the
second unit of text, and inverting the reference ratio to calculate the correction factor. Where
the first unit of text includes a word, the optical density of the word can be adjusted by
modifying a bitmap representation of the word, where pixels are added to, or removed from,
the bitmap, or the bitmap is left unchanged, according to the value of the correction factor.

Inventor: CHACHICH ALAN C
IPC: F16H57/00
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif destinés à améliorer les caractéristiques de marche d'une boîte de vitesse, qui consistent à comparer les conditions de marche détectées à des seuils et/ou à des conditions extérieures à la boîte de vitesse et à ajuster une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques de ladite boîte. On peut, par exemple, rétablir le niveau d'huile correct en injectant de l'huile dans la boîte de vitesses. On peut également refroidir la boîte de vitesse si la température détectée est supérieure à une valeur de seuil. Un autre moyen d'améliorer les caractéristiques physiques de marche de la boîte de vitesse consiste à appliquer des techniques de suppression des vibrations sonores ou diverses méthodes propres à modifier les indices de rigidité des matériaux. L'invention concerne également un procédé et un dispositif permettant de déterminer si les détecteurs utilisés dans un système de surveillance de dispositif fonctionnent correctement avant de se prononcer sur une défectuosité dans le dispositif même. Il est ainsi possible de réduire le poste entretien en limitant le nombre d'indices renvoyant à une défaillances et, par là même, d'accroître la fiabilité du système de surveillance.

Abstract: Dans un dispositif de refroidissement, l'huile est renvoyée de l'évaporateur au carter par mise en contact pour échange thermique du mélange réfrigérant lubrifiant-liquide de l'évaporateur du refroidisseur avec le lubrifiant du système relativement plus chaud du fait que ce lubrifiant s'écoule du carter à son point d'utilisation par le compresseur du refroidisseur. L'huile s'écoulant du carter au compresseur dégage suffisamment de chaleur dans le mélange réfrigérant lubrifiant-liquide pour induire la percolation dudit mélange, cette percolation produisant suffisamment d'énergie pour expulser les bouchons du mélange réfrigérant lubrifiant-liquide du point d'échange thermique au carter de lubrifiant du refroidisseur, ce qui permet à l'huile d'être renvoyée de l'évaporateur en vue de sa réutilisation dans le compresseur.

Abstract: A diaphragm type carburetor which has a purge system to remove air
and fuel vapor from the carburetor and to fill it with liquid fuel prior to starting an
engine fed by the carburetor. The purge system has a primer valve actuated by
moving a choke valve of the carburetor to its closed position to inject a small volume
of liquid fuel into a throttle bore to provide a richer fuel and air mixture to the engine
to facilitate starting it. Desirably, the small volume of liquid fuel is injected into the
throttle bore in response to closing of the choke valve without requiring any additional
steps such as depressing a button on the carburetor, to do so. Preferably, the choke
valve is carried on a shaft which has at least one detent formed therein to provide a
camming surface which actuates the primer valve as the choke valve is rotated from its
open position to its closed position. Preferably, the choke valve shaft has a pair of
detents. The primer valve is partially received by one detent when the choke valve is
fully opened to close the primer valve and prevent any fluid flow therethrough. A
second detent partially receives the primer valve to also close the primer valve after
the choke valve has been moved to its fully closed position. The camming surface is
disposed between the two detents relative to the movement of the choke valve to
temporarily open the primer valve and inject the desired quantity of liquid fuel into the
throttle bore to assist starting the engine when the choke valve is moved between its
open and closed positions.
