Abstract: A signal source generates a phase-modulated output signal responsive to a phase-modulation signal. A phase splitter splits the phase-modulated output signal into two or more phase-offset output signals. A switch provides a selected one of the phase-offset output signals from the phase splitter to a transmit amplifier circuit. Large phase transitions in the phase-modulation signal are detected and reduced to decrease modulation bandwidth requirements at the signal source. When a phase transition in the phase-modulation signal is reduced, the switch is coherently switched from one phase-offset output signal to another to substantially restore the full phase transition in the output signal presented to the transmit amplifier circuit. In this manner, the transmit amplifier receives substantially the same phase transitions as are in the original phase-modulation signal.

Abstract: A fruit juicer includes an additional switch that determines the speed at which the fruit juicer, i.e., the element that receives the fruit to be squeezed out, revolves. A button, disposed on the outer wall of the housing, actuates a microcontroller such that more power is supplied to the electric motor to make it revolve at a higher speed. The inventive fruit juicer, therefore, allows the juice to be squeezed out from the pulp already removed from the fruit.

Abstract: The present invention is addressed to a method of modulation wherein digital data streams are radio transmitted at a high level of efficiency and speed, and without a large continuous concomitant formation of side frequency phenomena. Thus, bandwidths assigned for this transmissional task are quite narrow, with data transmission speeds at the singular frequency of the RF carrier itself. This invention can send high-speed data in RF channels that are very narrow and that would ordinarily be considered useful only for very low speed data or analog voice. The purpose of this invention is to provide a means by which a radio frequency carrier, expressed, as a square wave can be amplitude modulated with maximum efficiency and speed with minimum phase delay and distortion. RF filtering is used to reduce the modulated square wave to its base band sine wave component after modulation. This circuit may be used to modulate the carrier (clock) at any frequency up to and beyond the carrier frequency itself. This is useful in the implementation of broadband wireless systems. This invention can also be used with multiple access systems.

Abstract: A calendar heap structure and method for sorting N timestamp (TS) values in an ATM fabric scheduler implemented in an access network element. The heap structure is implemented using a radix value (R) for grouping the N TS values into a number of groups. Validity bits associated with the TS values are hierarchically arranged in a tree having logR(N) levels, wherein the bottom layer's N bits correspond to pointers that point to linked lists of flows with respective TS values. Starting from the top level heap, each subsequent level's heaps are successively examined for determining which particular heap obtains a minimum value until a particular validity bit of the bottom level is reached, which validity bit points to the minimum TS. <IMAGE>
