Patent EP-0562782-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIDSON JAMES A
IPC: A61F2/70
Filed: 1993-03-19
Abstract: The invention provides an interpositional coupler for inserting between modules of a modular medical implant, wherein the modules are fabricated of compositions having different electrochemical potentials, to reduce or prevent the flow of a galvanic current and thereby reducing or preventing this contribution to corrosion of the prosthesis. The coupler may be of an insulative type comprising a zirconium/zirconium alloy core coated with blue-black zirconium oxide or nitride or any metal coated with amorphous diamond-like carbon. Alternatively, the coupler may be of a dual composition type with each of the compositions having essentially the same electrochemical potential as the module to which it couples.

Abstract: A data processing and transmission network includes plural information processing systems and shared sub-systems remote from the information processing systems. Each shared sub-system includes an I/O bus (36) and a plurality of I/O bus interface logic circuits (38, 40, 42) coupled to the bus. Each interface logic circuit is coupled to one of the system processing devices (P1) via a bidirectional fiber optic link (18, 24, 30), and thereby couples its associated processing device to the I/O bus. Further fiber optic links couple each system processing device to the I/O bus of each remaining sub-system through an associated I/O bus interface logic circuit. Each sub-system further includes multiple I/O devices (90, 92), each device coupled to a device controller (86, 88) which in turn is coupled to the I/O bus. The bus interface logic circuits and device controllers incorporate arbitration circuitry (44, 46, 48, ... 94, 96) and communicate with one another via their associated I/O bus to resolve contentions for control of the bus at the sub-system level rather than at the system processor level. These features provide a network with a high degree of redundancy, substantially reduced data access times, and flexibility in network configurations. Regardless of network size, each sub-system I/O device is equally available to all system processing devices, and each system processing device is transparent to the other system processors.

Abstract: A diversity antenna communiation system for mounting on and use with a mobile body. The system includes at least two receiving systems having different propagation paths from one another. During the transmission, a radio wave is radiated. Upon reception, the reception levels of each receiving system are monitored to control reception. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the output signals of those receiving systems momentarily not in use are attenuated by a certain degree in order to reduce the switching frequency between receiving systems having substantially the same output level. According to a second embodiment of the invention, the output signals of those receiving systems momentarily not in use are compared with a first threshold level which is different from a second threshold level with which the momentarily used input signal is compared.

Abstract: Radio equipment such as car telephones, service transceivers and the like are increasingly being installed in motor vehicles. Such equipment makes the user quite independent and more mobile. This advantage also necessarily entails a safety risk in that the concentration and reaction to the road traffic of a vehicle driver using such equipment deteriorate since, in most cases, he must hold a receiver in his hand for operating the transceiver and thus then only has one hand for steering the vehicle. This is remedied by so-called hands-free talking devices in which speaking is done via a permanently mounted microphone and listening is done via a loudspeaker. The invention describes a device which is of simple construction and enables a loudspeaker to be used which is already available in the motor vehicle for an audio device. The device is of very small construction and is installed so easily that, in particular, it is also suitable for subsequent installation in a motor vehicle. Due to the use of the installed loudspeaker, the quality of reproduction is very good. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image forming apparatus uses as an image-forming agent an ink containing toner having charged particles. The recording head (1) of the image forming apparatus has an insulating substrate (4) formed with discharge electrodes (2), and an insulating upper plate (13) formed with a common electrode (14). The discharge electrodes (2) and the common electrode (14) oppose each other, and a gap serving as an ink supply passage (20) is formed between them. The supply passage (20) is connected to an ink supply/recovery mechanism (100), and the ink (6) is supplied from this mechanism to the supply passage (20). A platen roller (114) serving as a counter electrode set at the ground potential is provided ahead of the distal end of the supply passage (20). A recording medium (108) is placed on the surface of the platen roller (114) so as to face the recording head (1). A voltage is applied between the discharge electrodes (2) and the common electrode (14) to form an electric field in the supply passage (20). Thus, a toner concentration difference is formed in the ink (6) as a toner preliminary gathering process. The toner preliminary gathering process increases the toner agglomerating efficiency at discharge points (DP).

Abstract: As a negative film 2 having a multiplicity of perforations provided therein at equal intervals is being transferred, its perforations are detected with a detecting means 4 which in turn produces a corresponding pulse signal. The pulse signal is then fed to a controller 5 which in turn calculates the number of clock pulses for each 40 pulses of the pulse signal and determines a transfer distance per clock pulse. Meanwhile, the reference transfer distance is obtained from an interval between the perforations x 40. A difference between the actual transfer distance and the reference transfer distance is calculated and used for controlling the rotating movement of drive rollers 3.

Abstract: A transmission power control method in a mobile satellite communication system implementing accurate control of transmission power of a base station by obtaining an average received signal level at a mobile station at high accuracy. The mobile station measures an average received signal level Q k  in a predetermined period (step SP2), and informs the base station of the average received signal level Q k  and an actual measuring time T k  (step SP3). The base station calculates a total measuring time t k  which is the sum total of the actual measuring time T k  (step SP16), a corrected average received signal level R k  associated with the average received signal level during the total measuring time t k  (step SP18), and a measuring error ΔD k  (step SP17), and controls the transmission power on the basis of these values (step SP21). Estimating the measuring error ΔD k  in the total measuring time t k  longer than the individual actual measuring time T k  makes it possible to reduce the measuring error, thereby implementing highly accurate transmission power control.

Abstract: The invention provides a nonvolatile random-access memory using memory cells consisting of a ferroelectric capacitor and a switching transistor. The memory has two memory blocks each of which has memory cells arranged in rows and columns, word lines, bit lines, a plate line, sense amplifiers and reference voltage generators. The memory includes a plate line voltage control circuit which impresses supply voltage to the plate line of one memory block and ground potential to the plate line of the other memory block during a transition period preceding to read or write operation and then connects the two plate lines to thereby keep the connected plate lines at an intermediate voltage between supply voltage and ground potential. To retard fatigue of the ferroelectric material by repeated polarization in positive and negative directions, the memory can optionally be operated in a volatile mode.
