Abstract: An electrical connector has both grounded cables, such a coaxial or triaxial
cables, and ungrounded cables or lines. A metallic outer connector body (200) has
bores (270) for the grounded cables, which are held in place in the connector body
with retainer clips (400). The retainer clips snap into place in spaces (244) inside the
outer connector body and the contacts snap into the retainer clips. The center of the
outer connector body accepts an inner connector body 100, which is dielectric.

IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 2002-06-18
Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and a method of scan testing digital logic
circuits, in particular faults in circuit operation during operational transitions
in the circuit. The system is intended for use in testing a logic circuit which is
driven by high frequency oscillating means and an external clock, which
external clock during normal operation is used to time control of the operation
of the circuit; system disabling the external clock, synchronising testing means
with the internal oscillating means, performing testing on the circuit while the
external clock is disabled and re-enabling the external clock following testing.
In the preferred embodiment, the test clock is synchronised with a PLL. The
preferred embodiments address the difficulties with the conventional test
methodology by synchronising the test clock with the phase locked loop
internal to the IC. The advantages include: switching between external and
PLL clocks is always clean, so that there are no "runt" pulses which would
invalidate the test; there are no critical timings of external signals, so that it is
possible to run very high speed scan-based transition fault tests (say 500 MHz)
using low cost ATE capable only of modest speed (50 MHz) and pin edge
placement accuracy; and the synchroniser circuit allows for a pre-programmed
number of PLL pulses to be emitted to test faults which require several capture
cycles to produce and capture the relevant transition.

Abstract: To make a realistic digital photograph of a subject
composed of a moving element such as a waterfall or a
mountain stream, and still elements such as trees and
rocks surrounding the moving element, firstly photographs
of the subject are taken at shutter speeds involving an
estimated speed of the moving element, then digital
images of these photographs are indicated on a monitor of
a computer image processing system, and after selecting
at least one digital image having a desirable quality to
make a realistic photograph, color modification is
applied to this digital image to modify at least the
brightness (light condition) thereof to create a digital
image having a color condition (lightness, contrast,
chroma, color balance) such that the modified digital
image substantially matches the color condition of a
digital image of a comparative photograph having
realistic color condition. Accordingly, a digital
photograph having a realistic color condition can be
printed from the modified digital image.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multiplexing and demultiplexing optical signals. An
interleaver having a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer as a first stage is used as a
wavelength division multiplexer. This first stage is combined with one or more cascaded stages,
each having a beam splitter and an optical delay element. A light beam (702) including a number of
signals at different wavelengths is received. The beam is split such that approximately half of
each signal is contained in one of two sub-beams (707,715). One of the two sub-beams passes through a
delay element (710), which provides a phase shift. The two sub-beams are recombined and split again.
Each wavelength adds constructively or destructively in the new sub-beams such that the signals
are separated ― some wavelengths are in one of the new sub-beams, some are in the other. One
of these sub-beams is delayed, and the two are combined and split again, improving the
separation.

Abstract: A watermarking system comprises an encoding data processor operable to
generate at least one marked version of an original item of material by introducing one
of a predetermined set of code words into a copy of the original material item. The
encoding data processor is arranged to form other code words of the set by cyclically
shifting a first code word. The system includes a detecting data processor operable to
identify the code word in the marked material item. The detecting data processor is
operable to recover the code word from the marked material item and to form a Fourier
transform of the recovered code word and a Fourier transform of the first code word of
the set. The data detecting processor forms correlation samples by forming an inverse
transform of a combination of the recovered and the first code word. Each of the
correlation value samples provides the correlation value for one of the set of code
words. A computationally efficient way of calculating the correlation for each code
word in the set is thereby provided. As a result a time taken to detect a code word
present in a marked material item is improved. The watermarking system finds
particular application in identifying a point of distribution of pirate copies of video
material generated by capturing the watermarked image, using, for example, a
camcorder in a cinema.

Abstract: The present invention provides a blade-type tensioner system for a chain that can
easily improve spring properties. The blade-type tensioner includes a blade shoe and a
blade spring positioned on the back side of chain sliding surface of the blade shoe so as to
impart tension to a chain through the blade shoe. The blade shoe is pivotably supported
around a shoulder bolt inserted into a proximal end portion of the blade shoe, and a distal
end portion of the blade shoe is slidably supported on a supporting face provided in the
engine. Th distal end portion of the blade shoe contacts a flat, first supporting face at a
point. When tension in the chain is increased, the distal end portion contacts a concave,
second supporting face at a point which is continuous with the first supporting face. The
blade tensioner also includes a stop mechanism.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un illuminateur ophtalmique, qui comprend une batterie, une résistance électrique, un commutateur électrique et une diode électroluminescente. La résistance est placée en circuit avec la batterie; et le commutateur électrique est placé en circuit avec la résistance, de telle sorte qu'une énergie électrique traverse le circuit lorsque le commutateur est en position fermée. La diode électroluminescente est placée en circuit avec le commutateur et génère une énergie de lumière bleue qui, à son tour, crée une fluorescence dans un colorant à base de fluorescéine administré dans l'oeil du patient, lorsque le commutateur est en position fermée. Un élément optique (tel qu'une lentille ou un réflecteur, peut être placé entre la diode et l'oeil, pour augmenter l'énergie de lumière bleue atteignant l'oeil. Cette énergie peut être pulsée, pour que la diode génère la lumière bleue à une fréquence prédéterminée. L'utilisateur de cet illuminateur, par exemple un médecin, peut tenir le système dans la main pour actionner le commutateur (par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un bouton). Une loupe couplée à ce système fournit une image agrandie de l'oeil du patient, si nécessaire. La diode électroluminescente (ou la pluralité des diodes électroluminescentes) sont de préférence intégrées ensemble dans un logement annulaire, pour qu'un bouton active et génère l'énergie de lumière bleue, et l'utilisateur regarde au centre du logement, à travers une loupe pour voir l'oeil du patient.
