Patent EP-0400776-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 1990-02-22
Abstract: A marine seismic surveying method utilizes two 
vertically spaced marine streamers (18,20) each having a 
plurality of seismic detectors (22,24) contained therein, 
and a seismic energy source (16) positioned at or near the 
surface (38) of a body of water (10) to generate seismic 
waves (30,32,34) which propagate into earth formations 
(26,28) below the water and reflect back up to be detected 
at each streamer. Seismic waves also reflect from the 
water/air interface back down toward the streamers. The 
seismic waves detected at two selected vertically displaced 
seismic detectors (22,24) are combined to form a sum signal 
which is then combined with a scaled time integral of a 
difference signal to form a resultant signal which preserves 
either the upgoing or downgoing seismic waves. In a 
preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sum 
signal and the integral signal are both filtered to remove 
DC bias and low frequency components prior to the 
combination. Additionally, the time integral of the 
difference signal is preferably scaled by balancing the 
power therein with the power in the sum signal, thereby 
automatically adjusting for variations in detector spacing 
which may occur. In one embodiment of the present 
invention, the upgoing signal and downgoing signal are time 
shifted and combined to maximize the resultant signal-to-­
noise ratio.

Title: Control method to limit the driving force of a drive, in particular for a door or a swinging wing and associated security circuit
Inventor: BUERGI DANIEL
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1993-10-05
Abstract: In order to create an improved control method for limiting the drive force of a drive, especially of a door drive or rotary wing drive, and to create an associated safety circuit which, with a very much higher level of safety, precludes the production of excessively high drive forces and moments, a redundant safety circuit is provided for calculating the torque of an electric motor. The torque is in this case normally calculated once for the electrical DC motor, from the current intensity. The torque is determined independently of this from the electric motor set of characteristics, using the rotation speed and the setting for full-load operation or partial-load operation of the electric motor. In the event of a discrepancy between the values, a suitable current-limiting circuit or interruption circuit can be activated. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0820205-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04W12/00
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: A method and system for detecting a voice channel grab by a pirate in a
cellular telephone network. Initially, RF signals transmitted to and from an authorized
cellular telephone over the control and voice channels are monitored to track call
processing activities and obtain various data that are used to detect potential voice
channel grabbing attempts. The data may include such things as RSSI, change power
output messages and responses, and hook-flash signal. From the data, the system
looks for two events. A first event is a unexpected change or an absence of an
expected change in the voice channel RF signal indicating that the pirate may be
transmitting on the voice channel. The first event may be any one or more of the
following: (1) a sudden upward shift in the voice channel RSSI; (2) a unexpected
phase shift of either the RF signal or the SAT signal contained in the RF signal; and
(3) an absence of an expected shift in the RSSI that corresponds to the change power
level message from the network. The second event is receipt of a message indicative
of a request to establish a new telephone connection such as a hook-flash message
initiating a call conference. When the unexpected change in the RF signal and the
message indicative of the request to establish the new telephone connection are
detected, the system determines that the voice channel assigned to the authorized
cellular telephone has been grabbed by the pirate. When the system determines that
the channel grab has occurred, it prevents the pirate from establishing the new
telephone connection by preventing receipt of dialed digits or terminating the
connection on the voice channel.
Patent EP-0740998-A3 (EP)
IPC: C08J7/02
Filed: 1996-04-30
Abstract: An automated means for hydrating a molded 
hydrophilic contact lens is provided in which a first 
robotic assembly removes a plurality of contact lens 
molds from a production line carrier, each of the lens 
molds having a contact lens adhered therein. The first 
robotic assembly transports the molds to a first staging 
area where the lens molds are sandwiched between a lens 
mold carrier and a top chamber plate to form a first 
hydration carrier. A first rotary transfer device then 
hands the first hydration carrier to a second robotic 
assembly which immerses the first hydration carrier in a 
hydration bath to hydrate the lens and to release the 
lens from the lens mold. While the lens is immersed in 
the hydration bath, each lens is transferred from its 
respective mold to a lens transfer means found within 
the top chamber plate. After a predetermined period of 
time, the second robotic assembly removes the first 
hydration carrier from the hydration bath and hands the 
hydration carrier off to a second rotary transfer device 
which rotates the first hydration carrier and aligns it 
for transfer to a third robotic assembly. The third 
robotic assembly then carries the top chamber plate and 
contact lenses through a series of steps in which the 
lens mold carrier and lens molds are removed from the 
top chamber plate. The lenses carried on the lens 
transfer means are then flushed and transported for 
assembly with a hydration base member to form a second 
hydration carrier for processing the lens in subsequent 
extraction stations. The second hydration carrier is 
then transported through a plurality of flushing or  
 
extraction stations wherein fresh deionized water is 
introduced into the hydration chambers at each hydration 
station to flush leachable substances from the hydration 
chamber. At each flushing station, fresh deionized 
water is introduced into the hydration chamber to remove 
previously extracted impurities and the products of 
hydrolysis. A final robotic dis-assembly device 
separates the top chamber plate and lens transfer means 
from the hydration base member, to provide fully 
hydrated lenses in a concave lens holding means ready 
for transfer to inspection and packaging stations.
