Title: Receiver for digital broadcast signal including transmitter identification information
Inventor: KATSUMOTO HIROSHI
IPC: H04B1/26
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver is provided which can reliably receive transmitter identification information.      The carrier-dependent components of the DAB broadcast signal are derived by an FFT circuit 32. Carrier-power detectors 41 and 50 calculate a carrier-power value by using the carrier-components of a NULL symbol and PRS. A correction amount determining circuit 51 determines a correction amount. In accordance with the correction amount, a correction circuit 52 corrects a carrier-power value of each carrier. A TII decoder 42 judges a transmitted carrier in accordance with the corrected carrier-power value of each carrier, and decodes the transmitter identification information in accordance with the judged transmitted carriers.

Title: Process control network with redundant field devices and busses
Inventor: BURNS HARRY A
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: Functional elements within a two-wire, loop-powered, two-way digital communications environment are interconnected using selective redundant connections and selective redundant functional elements. The redundant functional elements and redundant connections provide a smooth transition from operation of a primary process loop element to a secondary process loop element in the event of a failure of the primary process loop element. Redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant pair of field devices or a redundant bus pair having a primary bus and a redundant bus. In a first case, rcdundancey is selectively implemented using a single set of communication media (202 in fig. 6), such as a single communication loop, but implementing redundant functional elements (204, 206), such as field devices, so that recovery is achieved upon failure of a functional element but not upon failure of the communication media. In a second case, redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant set of communication media (302, 303 in fig. 7) in addition to use of redundant devices (304, 306) so chat recovery is attained both for a failing device and a failing communication media. In a third case, redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant set of communication media (402, 403 in fig. 8) but using a single device (404) so that recovery is attained for a failing communication media but not for a failing device.

Patent CA-2268549-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEUFT BERNHARD
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: Primary mechanical vibrations are generated in a container wall (12) to determine parameters in closed containers. The secondary vibrations caused by the primary mechanical vibrations of the container wall (12) in the container (10), which take place in the are between the closure (12) and the liquid, are recorded and analyzed, whereby the parameters are determined on the basis of recorded frequency progression of said vibrations.  Further, the primary vibrations of the closure (12) can also be recorded and analyzed, whereby the inner pressure prevailing inside the container (10) can be determined on the basis of the frequency of said primary vibrations. The frequencies of the primary and secondary vibrations can be determined by conducting a frequency spectrum analysis. The secondary vibrations can be recorded independently from the primary vibrations so that only those vibrations occurring within a timed measurement window are recorded, within which the primary vibrations have already abated.

Inventor: DE PASCHOAL GLAUCIO ROBERTO
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 1999-05-31
Abstract: Back centuries ago mankind had dreamed of having means of transportation faster than horse drawn vehicles. It is well known the many attempts made right after the discovery of the steam engine, in 1839, the first electric automobile built by Robert Anderson of Aberdeen, Scotland, and the following ones that failed due to the excessive weight of the vehicle, poor quality of the first stage batteries, short range of operation and above all the cruel competition of the internal combustion engine vehicles which became so popular as they were very light, faster and running much more miles between refueling than those clumsy machines. Time has changed, and they had never imagined that those mechanical dream wonders would bring the planet to an unbreathable environment with catastrophic changes in climate conditions, negative effects on human and animal health, public and private property, besides other disasters caused by fire, oil spills, explosions, etc. This invention of mine is a modest contribution attempting to try to invert the situation and move technology to apply the same efforts focused on perfecting those polluting machines into a clean energy vehicle and gradually replace them.
