Patent EP-1236212-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KEHRLI ARNOLD P
IPC: H02J3/18
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: The invention features a system and approach for minimizing the step voltage change as seen by the utility customer as well minimizing transients imposed on the fundamental waveform of a normal voltage carried on a utility power network when a reactive power source (e.g., capacitor bank) is instantaneously connected to the utility power. The reactive power source is adapted to transfer reactive power of a first polarity (e.g., capacitive reactive power) to the utility power network. The system includes a reactive power compensation device configured to transfer a variable quantity of reactive power of a second, opposite polarity to the utility power network, and a controller which, in response to the need to connect the shunt reactive power source to the utility power network, activates the reactive power compensation device and, substantially simultaneously, causes the shunt reactive power source to be connected to the utility power.

Abstract: The metamodel has a statistical core model containing entity classes. These are described by attributes and operations. Operations determine behavior of instances of entity classes, especially attribute states, and are allocated process classes or program code. The metamodel contains a dynamic core model containing process classes described by activities. The activities describe the course of the process, by relation back to operations coupled by branching and/or conditions and/or sequences and/or loops and/or mutual synchronization. In a first stage, in which a model is based on the metamodel, only the elements for description are used, in that the so-described entity classes are built up as corresponding structures of a target language, and the process classes and their activities are employed until all operations are represented by program code. The code is embedded in branches and/or conditions and/or sequences and/or loops and/or synchronization. In a final stage the model arises from authorization of the metamodel. An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment, software and data medium.

Abstract: The invention in accordance with one aspect is a method of determining aging of a
light emitting device (11) which is capable of selectively emitting light having
different wavelengths corresponding to different channels for light transmission as
a function of tuning current supplied to the device. A tuning current is applied to
the device (11), which results in a wavelength corresponding to a desired channel.
The slope of a curve, which is light power from the device (11) as a function of
tuning current, is determined by dithering about the applied tuning current. The
determined slope is compared with a prior determined value in order to detect any
change from the prior value. The voltage derived from a light signal passing
through an optical filter (16) can also be measured and compared to a prior value.
These values may be used to determine aging of the device (11) and the filter (16).

Abstract: A device is provided for storing signals in minimal format, which includes a
controller for processing signals and a non-volatile storage medium. The device
provides output signals in one of a plurality of digital formats. The output signals
may be video signals, encrypted data, etc. In one embodiment, the device provides
video signals in one of two digital video Standards, DV and MPEG-2, each Standard
providing for discrete cosine transform (DCT) compressed signals which include
macroblocks containing a plurality of DCT blocks. When raw video signals are
received by the device, the DCT blocks are quantized according to one of the two
quantization methods defined by the respective Standard, i.e., either DV or MPEG-2
and stored on the non-volatile storage medium in a minimal storage format consisting
of DCT coefficients. Further, when signals are received in DV or MPEG-2 formats by
the device for storage, such signals are decoded to obtain DCT coefficients and stored
on storage medium in this minimal storage format. Upon a request for output of such
stored signals, the controller selectively encodes the data in minimal storage format
to either DV or MPEG-2 formats and outputs the encoded data to the requestor.

(100) for decoding and restoring OFDM signals from the
antennas (510,550), a beam coefficient calculating unit
(200) for calculating channel property information
inclusive of a signal to noise rate and calculating a beam
coefficient for forming a beam in a configuration
optimizing reception sensitivity from the channel property
information, and a receiving beam processing unit (300)
for controlling the corresponding antenna (510,550) to
form a beam in a configuration corresponding to the beam
coefficient from the beam coefficient calculating unit.
When the device is to also operate in a transmission mode,
a transmitting signal generating unit (600) for modulating
a transmission-intended signal into a transmitting signal,
and a transmission beam processing unit (700) for
controlling the antenna according to the beam coefficient
from the beam coefficient calculating unit are also

can be flexibly changed by calculating the beam
coefficient from the detected signal during the decoding
of a receiving signal, thereby improving accuracy of the
receiving signal. In addition, when a signal is
transmitted by the beam formed by the beam coefficient
calculated from the receiving signal, a direction of a 
receiving unit receiving the transmission-intended signal
is considered to improve accuracy of the transmitting
signal.
