Patent EP-1026842-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TICE LEE D
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 2000-02-02
Abstract: A self-monitoring power supply can be incorporated into electrical
devices which are part of a multi-device communication system. The power supply
is energized by electrical energy received from a medium on an intermittent basis.
The self-monitoring circuitry assures that the device has sufficient energy for
carrying out its functions. Noise rejection and noise immunity can be enhanced in
such devices by circuitry which upon detection of a transmission start signal or a
clock pulse locks out data signals for a predetermined period of time and upon
detection of a data signal locks out transmission start or clock pulses for a
predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit which obtains a
driving power from a carrier onto which data has been piggybacked,
the semiconductor integrated circuit being characterized by
demodulating data by correctly discriminating it even when the
obtained power supply voltage has become overvoltage, and
characterized by effectively using the power supplied by the
carrier. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes: a two-voltage
rectifier circuit as a power source circuit 111; a voltage
regulator circuit 112 which exercises a control so that a power
with a higher voltage (VDDH) used for demodulating data does not
exceed a certain voltage value; a resistor 141; and a capacitor
142. With this construction, the voltage input to a regulator
circuit 1121 as the reference voltage changes in correspondence to
the change in voltage VDDH which is caused by the change in
amplitude.

Inventor: COPNER NIGEL
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2000-06-14
Abstract: An optical switch is disclosed having 4-ports. The switch consists of a first GRIN lens
having 2 ports (1 and 3) adjacent its outwardly facing end face, on opposite sides of an
optical axis of the lens. A second GRIN lens is disposed to receive light from the first
GRIN lens and has two ports (2 and 4) adjacent its outer end face, on opposite sides of an
optical axis. In a first state, a first port (1) from the first GRIN lens couples light with
port (2) of the second GRIN lens, and a second port (3) of the first GRIN lens
simultaneously couples light with another port (4) of the second GRIN lens. A movable
optical element, that when disposed in the path between first and second GRIN lens,
provides only a single connection between a port of the first GRIN lens (1) and a port of
the second GRIN lens (4) while preventing light from coupling between the other two
ports (2 and 3). Hence a 1 ½ x 2 optical switch is disclosed. Furthermore, the optical
switch is disclosed having multiple input and output ports. The switch consists of a first
GRIN lens having 2 ports adjacent its outwardly facing end face. A second GRIN lens is
disposed to receive light from the first GRIN lens and has two ports adjacent its outer end
face. In a first state, a first port from the first GRIN lens couples light with a first output
port of the second GRIN lens. In a second state, a movable optical element in the form of
a light transmissive wedge having a reflective surface, is disposed in the path between
first and second GRIN lens, providing a connection between a port of the first GRIN lens
and a second port of the second GRIN lens. In a third connect state, the reflective surface
of the wedge connects a port of the first GRIN lens and an output port in the same first
GRIN lens. Hence an N x M optical switch is disclosed.

Abstract: An improved implementation of pre-paid telephone calling cards uses a switch-based
intelligent network (IN) for automated processing of pre-paid calling card account
transactions. Calling card account number, corresponding PINs, account status
information and others are stored in tables maintained by one or several switches for
routing calls, each switch nominally including a Service Switching and Control Point
(SSCP), an Originating Call Processor (OCP), and a Terminating Call Processor (TCP).
In the preferred embodiment, each switch also contains an Operator Service System
(OSS) for allowing a telephone operator to direct call processing either by choice of the
customer (direct dial to the operator) or as backup to the automatic processing capability
of the SSCP. The system bails out to the OSS when one of the following occurs:
the customer demands a bailout; the customer fails to enter any information when
prompted; the customer enters incorrect or invalid information more than a predetermined
number of times; and the pre-paid calling card account balance is insufficient for
the customer's proposed telephone call.

Abstract: An installation includes a carding machine (1), and a distributor-layer (2) depositing the card (1) web (6) in a reciprocating motion on a delivery belt (8) moving transversely. The resulting intermediate lap (16) is conveyed to a needling loom (3) to produce a consolidated lap (24). A measuring station (28) scans the consolidated lap (24) profile and transmits it to a processing unit (32) where the profile is compared to a set reference input by a terminal (33). The variations in width cause a corresponding modification in the width deposited by the distributor-layer (2) by a link (36). The local surface weight variations cause a corresponding modification of the controls applied to the carding machine (1) capable of longitudinally profiling the web (6). The invention is useful for controlling an installation for obtaining a finished product.

Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, les produits chimiques de gravure sont calibrés pour réduire le changement apporté à l'état de la surface interne après un cycle de nettoyage. Dans un autre aspect, une recette de traitement est choisie aux fins de réduire la sensibilité du procédé de gravure aux conditions dans la chambre. Dans un aspect différent, des matériaux de surface de chambre sont choisis pour réduire au minimum les écarts entre les taux de recombinaison des radicaux libres sur les matériaux de surface et les dépôts de sous-produits formés sur les matériaux pendant le traitement.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device to limit the imbalance of a washing unit of a clothes
washer that has a laundry drum rotatably mounted in a tub and is suspended in the
machine housing to allow oscillation with springs, weights providing inertia, vibration
dampers and the drive motor, whereby several sensors distributed on the perimeter
of a tub detect the deflections due to imbalance in the spin cycle, and undertake
related countermeasures to limit the arising paths and forces. The washing unit is
prevented from overloading due to imbalances in the spin cycle independent of the
load in the laundry drum as follows: The sensors are perpendicular and/or parallel to
the rotary axis of the laundry drum, and they detect the displacements as well as the
phase shifts between the displacements, and control and/or regulating parameters
are fed to the spin cycle depending on the detected displacements and phase shifts
as well as the speed of the laundry drum and the drive motor.

Abstract: A method used in equalization processing is
provided, in which a reference signal is
received and a change point of transmission line
characteristics is detected. A basic frequency
signal of fluctuation period of the transmission
line characteristics is extracted, and
vectorized. The vector is adjusted such that

fluctuation interval of transmission line
characteristics is judged by comparing X
component of the vector with a reference value.
As a result, equalization processing is
performed in accordance with the fluctuation.
