Abstract: A faucet mounted water filtration system (10) with a filter life
monitor includes a filter housing (12) with a flexible cap (14) which deflects
upon introduction of water into the housing. The deflection of the cap closes a
switch on an electrical circuit which counts the time the water is flowing through
the housing. Once a predetermined amount of time accumulates, the circuit
generates a message to inform the user that the filter needs replacement. The
invention further includes a selector switch on the electrical circuit for signaling
the circuit to count one of two predetermined amounts of time prior to
generating a message.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de sélection automatique d'un ensemble de fréquences dans un système de radiocommunication (22, 24) d'étage inférieur, partageant des fréquences avec un système radiocellulaire (10) d'étage supérieur en chevauchement, perturbant au minimum le système d'étage supérieur employant le saut de fréquence. La présente invention utilise les informations diffusées transmises par les stations radio de base (16) d'étage supérieur sur leurs canaux de commande de diffusion (BCCH), lesquels contiennent non seulement les fréquences porteuses (BCCH) des cellules voisines (12), mais également des informations relatives aux fréquences appliquées dans les cellules considérées (12A) pour les canaux de trafic à saut de fréquence. Avec ces informations diffusées, le système d'étage inférieur (22, 24) peut dériver la planification des fréquences dans le système d'étage supérieur, et il peut ensuite dériver un ensemble de fréquences destinées à être utilisées à l'étage inférieur, perturbant au minimum le système d'étage supérieur en chevauchement. L'avantage de cette technique est que seules des mesures sur les porteuses (BCCH) doivent être effectuées, lesquelles ne sont pas en chevauchement, présentent une puissance de transmission constante et ont un signal continu (non sporadique).

IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 1998-08-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de radiocommunication utilisé pour la transmission de données entre au moins une station de base et au moins une station éloignée. La station de base est en mesure de transmettre des signaux à la station éloignée et d'en recevoir de celle-ci, moyennant l'implantation de ladite station éloignée dans une zone prédéterminée. On attribue un ordre de priorité aux différents types de données à transmettre, et le type et la priorité propres à chaque transmission ultérieure sont déterminés et enregistrés. Ensuite on transmet les types de données ayant le degré de priorité le plus élevé avant ceux dont la priorité est la moins élevée. Lorsqu'il existe plusieurs stations de base, on utilise une pluralité de cellules de communication en chevauchement. Les stations de base émettent des signaux dans une première période de temps, et les stations éloignées émettent des signaux dans une seconde période de temps. Les stations de base sont reliées à un régisseur central qui synchronise les première et seconde périodes de temps utilisées par les stations de base dans des cellules adjacentes. Le nombre des transmissions dans chaque cellule est contrôlé, et la durée de chacune des deux périodes de temps susmentionnées est ajustée pour améliorer l'utilisation de la largeur de bande de transmission disponible. Les signaux émis depuis les stations éloignées vers les stations de base peuvent être transmis après un temps d'attente prédéterminé qui varie en fonction de la distance entre la station éloignée et la station de base.

Abstract: ATM transmitting apparatus for transmitting messages, such as frame relay packets, associated with a plurality of connections comprises ATM layer transmission equipment for receiving multiple messages, segmenting each received message into a plurality of smaller data units, such as 48 byte AAL SAR protocol data units, and multiplexing such data units into a single stream for transport over a physical interface. A scheduler receives messages from each of the connections and transfers the messages to the transmission equipment. The scheduler dynamically sets a transmission rate for each connection, and allocates each connection whose message is transferred to the transmission equipment a substantially maximal amount of bandwidth at any given time during the transmission of the message, to thereby minimize interleaving of data units from the various connections and reduce the average latency (per unit of message) in transmitting the messages across a network.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention includes a method for driving a
voice coil motor in response to signals from a feedback network that senses voice coil
motor velocity. The method includes steps of providing a drive signal to an H-bridge
for a first interval. At the end of the first interval, the H-bridge is placed in a high
impedance state. Following a pause for a second interval during which transient
voltages extinguish, a sample and hold circuit is coupled to the voice coil motor. The
sample and hold circuit measures a voltage from the voice coil motor that is directly
proportional to voice coil motor velocity and thus is directly related to head velocity.
After the sample and hold circuit measures the voice coil motor voltage, the input to
the sample and hold circuit is disabled. An output signal from the sample and hold
circuit is coupled to the feedback network and thus to the H-bridge. As a result, voice
coil motor and head velocity is more accurately controlled, reducing probability of
collision between heads and discs in a disc drive and thereby increasing reliability of
the disc drive.

Abstract: In a charge pump circuit, the issues of increase in
loss due to the backgating effect, increase in cost, risks of
latch-up and charge leak and the like, which would be involved
in achieving voltage reduction, are resolved with a simple
circuit structure. A pump cell 31 has nMOS transistors M1 - M3
and capacitors C1, C2. An auxiliary capacitor C is connected
to an input node IN, and further p-well portions of the nMOS
transistors M1-M3 are connected to this auxiliary capacitor C,
the nMOS transistor M3 is interposed between each p-well portion
and output node OUT, and the input node IN is connected to the
gate of the nMOS transistor M3. Thus, with a simple circuit
structure which involves only the use of the auxiliary capacitor
C, voltage difference of the push-down of the p-well voltage is
increased so that the deterioration of pump efficiency due to
the backgating effect in the voltage reduction of power supply
voltage is eliminated and that latch-up and charge leak are
prevented.

Abstract: A delta sigma modulator of at least second order includes correction means applied to each feedback loop in the modulator, to account for systemic nonlinear output distortions. Since the output distortion is nonlinear, the correction applied to each feedback loop is nontrivially different. Such a corrected delta sigma modulator may be used in a demodulator including an output digital to analog converter (DAC) to account for systemic imperfections in the pulses formed by the DAC. The corrected delta sigma modulator is also useful in correcting output errors associated with high quality multilevel demodulators and class D power amplifiers. The corrected delta sigma modulator may be one bit or multilevel.
