Patent EP-1484674-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZHANG XIAOPIN
IPC: H03L7/093
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A fractional-N frequency synthesizer is suggested. The
synthesizer uses the Delta-Sigma frequency discriminator to
convert the high frequency signal to digital format. The
main feature of the invention is that the feedback error
signal is generated by comparing the output bit stream from
the discriminator with a bit stream digitally generated by
performing Delta-Sigma modulation to the required fractional
number. This makes the fractional spurious maximally reduced
and be much predicable. Other synthesizer performance could
also be very good as the result of low noise from a very
simple high frequency circuit and the flexibility and
precision from the maximally application of digital signal
processing technique. Besides, the structure is especially
suitable for adding the wideband modulation simultaneously.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for forming a roaming network list that
identifies roaming arrangements between network operators of a cellular, or other
mobile, communication system in which different networks are operated by different
network operators. The roaming network list is dynamically created
through detection, at a detector, of positional information of mobile nodes that
operate pursuant to communications with different ones of the networks of the
communication system. An associator associates mobile nodes, by their home
networks, with networks with which the mobile nodes are capable of communicating.
Associations made by the associator are used to form the roaming network
list. Subsequent access to the list permits the roaming arrangements, dynamically
determined, to be ascertained.

Abstract: In addition to a fluid or gas for inflating a preform in a tool cavity a second medium is introduced and/or removed from two or more areas between preform and cavity wall. Each partial flow is controlled so that excess pressure slows the approach of a preform to the wall in areas(I,II) where preform and wall make first contact and vacuum is created in areas(III,IV) where the preform and wall are last to make contact to accelerate preform movement towards the wall. A balance between preform approach and freezing stages is achieved which minimizes wall thickness variation around the periphery.  During preform inflation extraction of the second medium from the area between tool wall and preform is controlled. Air, which may be heated, is used for both preform inflation and control of preform expansion. Air enters the tool cavity via bores, slits, inserts with bores or slits and/or inserts of permeable sintered material. Volumetric flows of the second medium are controlled in relation to the thermoplastic material, inflation pressure, molding size and shape and/or wall thickness.

Abstract: A differential linear fractional N-synthesizer includes a phase and frequency
detection module, a linearized charge pump, a low pass filter, a voltage controlled
oscillator, and a fractional N divider feedback. The phase and frequency detection
module is operably coupled to produce a differential charge-up signal, a differential
charge-down signal, or a differential off signal based on phase and/or frequency
differences between a reference oscillation and a feedback oscillation. The feedback
oscillation is generated by the fractional N divider feedback, which divides an output
oscillation by a divider value to produce the feedback oscillation. The linearized charge
pump includes a 1 st  current source, a 2 nd  current source and a modulation module. In
response to the differential off signal, the modulation module produces a modulated
differential off signal that causes the 1 st  and 2 nd  current sources to produce a zero current
signal in an alternating fashion. The low pass filter is operably coupled to attenuate the
high frequency signal components produced by the modulation module of the linearized
charge pump and to pass the positive, negative or zero current signals to produce a
filtered signal. The voltage control oscillator produces the output oscillation based on the
filtered signal.

Abstract: A device or 'dongle' (30) is provided for controlling communications between a Subscriber Identity Module (or SIM) (12), such as of the type used in a GSM cellular telephone system, and a computer, such as a Windows-based PC (10). The SIM (12) can be authenticated by the telephone network, in the same way as for authenticating SIMs of telephone handset users in the network, and can in this way authenticate the user of the PC (10) or the PC (10) itself. Such authentication can, for example, permit use of the PC (10) for a time-limited session in relation to a particular application, which is released to the PC (10), after the authentication is satisfactorily completed. The application may be released to the PC (10) by a third party after and in response to the satisfactory completion of the authentication process. A charge for the session can be debited to the user by the telecommunications network and then passed on to the third party. The dongle (30) provides additional security for the authentication data stored on the SIM by requiring a PIN to be entered and/or by only being responsive to requests received from the PC (10) which are encrypted using a key, which requests are generated by a special PC interface driver (38).
