Abstract: A system and method for determining timing offset errors in a low earth orbit satellite system based upon Doppler and Doppler rate of change is provided. A user terminal determines first and second timing offsets respectively associated with first and second satellite beams from respective first and second satellites. Next, the user terminal determines the Doppler and Doppler rate of change associated with the first and second satellite beams. A timing offset is estimated from the measured Doppler and Doppler rate of change and is then compared with the user terminal's own determined timing offset. If the comparison does not produce a value within a predetermined threshold, a beam identification error is declared.

Abstract: The present invention relates to automatic exposure control implemented in imaging by electromagnetic radiation, in particular to automatic exposure control in film-based mammography, which is based on a completely new approach as compared with the solutions currently in use, which utilize adjustment curves and/or tables constructed on the basis of empiric tests. The new approach includes modeling into the AEC system the radiation spectra obtainable from the radiation source as a function of its operating parameters and attenuation of the spectrum as the radiation traverses components of the imaging apparatus. By measuring the thickness of the object to be imaged and knowing the initial spectrum and its calculable behavior, a correspondence between the AEC signal and the desired darkening of the image can be achieved which is based on true density of the object being imaged.

Abstract: A method for handover a mobile unit from a first base station to a second base station in a wireless communication systems employing smart antenna technology. Following trigger events of a handover, the mobile station generates a physical signal sounding pulse transmitted by an isotropic antenna. The sounding pulse may consist of a common sequence of symbols or a specific sequence of symbols that uniquely identifies the mobile station. A series of sounding pulses can be sent according to a power ramping procedure until a base station has focused a communications beam toward the mobile. Receiving base stations provide feedback information upon detection of the sounding pulse allowing the mobile unit and/or base station to form communication beams toward each other. A mapping protocol may also be utilized by the communication system.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the driving mechanism of winding needles which dispense wire to form the wire coils of a dynamo-electric machine component. Generally, such wire winding is achieved by providing translational, rotational, and radial motions to the winding needle relative to a reference structure of the component. The present invention provides wire winding solutions for causing the winding needles to accomplish predetermined motions with respect to the component so that wire is predictably positioned on the component to form the wire coils. In particular, the present invention provides a driving mechanism with coaxial hollow shafts that impart the necessary motions to the winding needle. The inner shaft is able to mirror the rotation of the outer shaft to provide rotational motion to the winding needle. The outer shaft is able to impart both translational and rotational motion via coaxially disposed rotatable sleeves driven by motors.

Abstract: At least a winding of a stator stack 2 is molded by injecting a fused resin molding material into a space formed between a top mold and a bottom mold member. When the stator stack 2 of the resolver, which is annular and includes a coiled winding 7, is sandwiched between the top mold member 10 and bottom mold member 20, a movable disc 12 is urged by a spring device 13, into close engagement with the bottom mold member 20. While the movable disc 12 is closely engaged with the bottom mold member 20, the stack 2 of the resolver is sandwiched between the bottom mold member 20 and the top mold member 10. This method prevents the generation of gaps between the stator stack 2 and mold 10, 20 due to unevenness of the thickness in the stator stack 2. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high side current monitor circuit includes an op amp which is coupled across a sensing element which carries a current Isense and develops a shunt voltage Vsense. A feedback transistor driven by the op amp output conducts an output current Iout through a resistor to a current output node necessary to make the op amp inputs equal, such that Iout is proportional to Isense. Iout is conducted through a resistor to generate a ground-referred voltage proportional to Vsense. When the common mode voltage of Vsense is greater than the op amp's breakdown voltage, a discrete transistor is connected between the current output node and ground to stand off the voltage across the amp. The monitor circuit is arranged such that it can be powered with a limited fraction of the common mode voltage when used with a discrete transistor, and is self-biased when used without a discrete transistor. <IMAGE>
