Patent EP-0799896-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH JOHN L
IPC: G01N33/72
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: A reagent test strip is adapted for use in a blood glucose meter. A sample of whole blood is applied to one surface of a matrix on the strip and the meter measures the reflectance of the opposite surface of the matrix at about 635 nm and 700 nm and calculates from the reflectance the concentration of glucose in the sample. The portion of the applied sample that penetrates the matrix and is visible from the testing surface does not absorb to any appreciable extent at 700 nm. Nevertheless, the glucose-containing sample interacts with the components of the reagent-containing matrix to cause a change in reflectance at 700 nm that simulates the effect of the blood color. As a result, the strip can be used in meters that measure glucose concentration in whole blood samples in the presence of optically visible hemoglobin.

Abstract: A DS-CDMA transmission method capable of improving the accuracy of channel estimation using pilot symbols by eliminating cross-correlation between pilot symbols inserted into code channels in CDMA multiplexing carrying out fast signal transmission. In each frame assembler (11), the pilot symbols, which are used for channel estimation for coherent detection, are inserted into coded information data on code channels at fixed intervals, and then the data is modulated by the modulator (12). The modulated data symbols in each code channel from the modulator (12) are spread by the spreading modulator (13), the pilot symbols are spread using a spreading code, whereas the information symbols are spread using different spreading codes assigned to respective code channels. The spread signals of the code channels are summed up by the adder (14) to be transmitted.

Abstract: The construction of a film on a wafer (14), which
is placed in a processing chamber (112), may be
carried out through the following steps. A layer of
material is deposited on the wafer. Next, the layer
of material is annealed. Once the annealing is
completed, the material may be oxidized. 
Alternatively, the material may be exposed to a
silicon gas once the annealing is completed. The
deposition, annealing, and either oxidation or silicon
gas exposure may all be carried out in the same
chamber, without need for removing the wafer from the
chamber, until all three steps are completed. A
semiconductor wafer processing chamber (112) for
carrying out such an  in-sutu  construction may include
a processing chamber, a showerhead (136) a wafer
support (116) and a rf signal means. The showerhead
supplies gases into the processing chamber, while the
wafer support supports a wafer (14) in the processing
chamber. The rf signal means is coupled via a matching
network to the showerhead (136) and the wafer support
(116) for providing a first rf signal to the
showerhead and a second rf signal to the wafer
support.

Abstract: A chart used for assessing oxidative stress is prepared, wherein a numerical
figure representing the degree of excess or deficiency of an indicator substance
indicating oxidative stress in humans is shown in the ordinate, and a numerical figure
corresponding to the standard value recovered from normal subjects is also shown in the
ordinate, while the items of such indicator substances are grouped in damaging
substances, water-soluble antioxidants, fat-soluble antioxidants, and antioxidant
enzymes to be shown in the abscissa. By numerically representing the ratio of the
measured value of each indicator substance in a test subject to the standard value and
recording the resulting numerical figure on the chart, the degree of excess or deficiency
of the indicator substance indicating the extent of oxidative stress in humans is
collectively shown in the chart, whereby the degree of excess or deficiency of the
indicator substance in a test subject can be analyzed in a simple procedure.

Abstract: The wireless system includes one or more payphones (12) from which users may initiate payphone calls. A mobile switching center (16) connects telephone calls initiated from wireless payphones to external telephone systems (18) such as the publlic switch telephone network (PSTN). To meter charges incurred during the telephone call within an external system, the external system transmits periodic metering pulses (52, 54) to the mobile switching center. Each pulse is representative of a predetermined amount of money associated with the telephone call. The rate at which the periodic pulses are transmitted to the mobile switching center depends upon the current billing rate and may be affected by, for example, the time of day. Rather than the forwarding all of the metering pulses to the wireless payphone, therefore consuming a portion of the bandwidth available for wireless telephone calls, the mobile switching center (16) calculates a steady state billing rate from the metering pulses, then transmits only the steady state billing rate to the wireless payphone (12).

Abstract: This new unit controls the path of a workpiece chuck in motion. The chuck is part of an orbital welding system, especially for plastics. The chuck is fastened to springs and displaced by electromagnets. It describes a planar, elliptical orbit. The electromagnets are fed by a frequency converter. In the new control system, a desired value generator (1) calculates the vector of motion corresponding to the required shape of the path of motion. This is supplied both to a phase comparator (2) and to a desired and actual value comparator (3). This subtracts the measured from the desired vectors of motion to obtain the error value. This is then transformed (4) into the system of rotary co-ordinates used by the two-dimensional path controller (5). From the control error, this unit forms the complex modulation factor (m) used to zero the error. The peak amplitude of the desired vector of motion is compared (6) with that of the measured value. This is supplied to an amplitude controller (7) for the oscillation. this determines the desired amplitude of the voltage vector such that the control error at the input of the amplitude controller is zeroed. A desired voltage generator (8) calculates the actual voltage vector from the desired voltage vector and the modulation factor (m). This is supplied to the power section adjusting the output voltage of a frequency converter, so that it corresponds to the desired voltage vector. Preferably a phase controller (9) adjusts the phase of the desired value generator ( DELTA  m) such that the phase error ( DELTA ) calculated (2), is averaged to zero. The frequency of the voltage tensor (Fe) is so adjusted by the frequency controller (10) that the phase ( DELTA  ) error calculated (2), is averaged to zero. The operational mode can be switched over between the two controllers cited immediately above.

Abstract: A method and various structures are described for reducing excess
photon noise in short coherence light sources, such as broadband superfluorescent
fiber or superluminescent diodes, for example. The method contemplates
splitting the light source signal into a plurality of components, thereby splitting,
and reducing, the photon noise or "beat noise" as well as the light intensity. Each
component travels in a separate path having a unique time delay which is longer
than the coherence time of the light source. The light from each separate path is
recombined at an output end, prior to detection, causing the signal to get back to
its original intensity, while keeping the total beat noise at a reduced level. The
paths may be created using different length polarization maintaining (PM) fibers,
different length optical fibers, or multi-mode fibers having several propagation
modes propagating at different rates.
