Abstract: The process and the corresponding phase or amplitude monopulse radar device are used for position measurement of a first target (TT1) and if need be, a second target (TT2) detected by the radar beam from the direction x1, y1; x2, y2. For a first measurement axis x (e.g. azimuth), the extended monopulse antenna (HA, PA) of the radar device has at least three subantennas (A, B, .OMEGA.) that are disposed in such a way, and have directional characteristic curves of such a nature, and whose signals are combined with one another and weighted in such a way that two antenna functions  FO1 (x) / Fs (x) = F1 (x) = F1p (x) + j F1q (x) , with F1p (x) or F1q (x) =  0 FO2 (x) / Fs (x) = F2 (x) = F2p (x) + j F2q (x) , with F2p (x) or F2q (x) = 0. are formed, which are linearly independent of each other, purely real or purely imaginary, and independent of target offset positions perpendicular to the first measurement axis. The function course of these antenna functions F1(x) and F2(x) is measured for the single-target case and the function values that are dependent upon the target offset position x are stored in the memory unit (MEM). Measurement values F1 ACT = F1p ACT + F1q ACT, in the two-target case with F1p ACT, and F1q ACT  = 0, F2 ACT = F2p ACT + F2q ACT, in the two-target case with F2p ACT, and F2q ACT  = 0 are determined according to the antenna functions F1 and F2 for the targets (TT1, TT2) of position x1 and x2 detected by the radar beam, after which a processor (PROC) takes the equation given below for the amplitude monopulse process (index A) or for the phase monopulse process (index ~) and solves it for the target directions x1 and x2 by using the stored function values:  -62-    For amplitude monopulse radar devices, the three subantennas (A, B, .OMEGA. or .OMEGA., C, D) that are provided for each measurement axis x;y, and whose main radiation directions are disposed in one plane, have a common phase center. For phase monopulse radar devices, the three subantennas (A, B, .OMEGA. or .OMEGA., C, D) that are provided for each measurement axis and whose main radiation directions are disposed in one plane and run parallel to one another, have phase centers that are disposed on a common line. The subantenna (.OMEGA.) which is respectively disposed in the center between the subantennas (A and B or C and D), is used as a reference element.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing automatic retransmission query (ARQ) functions in a communication system. A transmitter in the system applies an input data packet to a first convolutional encoder operating at a first rate to generate an inner code including multiple encoded packets.  The encoded packets are interleaved and applied to a second convolutional encoder operating at a second rate which generates an outer code including a transmit packet generated from each of the encoded packets. A first transmit packet is sent to a receiver, which decodes the transmit packet in a Viterbi decoder operating at the second rate to generate a decoded version of the first transmit packet.  The decoded version is inverted to provide a first provisionaldecoding of the input packet.  If a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) check of the first provisional decoding is passed, the receiver sends an ACK signal to the transmitter and no retransmission is required.  If the check is not passed, the transmitter sends one or more additional transmit packets, which are processed in a manner similar to the first transmit packet to generate one or more additional provisional decodings of the input data packet.  If a CRC check of a given one of these additional provisional decodings is passed, the receiver accepts it as the input packet and sends an ACK signal to the transmitter.  If non pass the CRC check, the receiver may combine decoded versions of the transmit packets, and apply the result to a Viterbi decoded operating at the first rate to generate another provisional decoding of the input packet.  This provisional decoding is accepted as the input packet if it passes a CRC check.

Granted: 2007-10-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunochemical method for qualitatively or quantitatively detecting an analyte in which first and second binding partners are brought into contact with the analyte and the binding of the binding partners to the analyte is detected using known methods. According to the invention, both the binding partners are prepared recombinantly in the same host using different vectors (V1 and V2) for expressing fusion proteins, with the first binding partner being expressed as fusion protein Fl in vector V1 and the second binding partner being expressed as fusion protein F2 in vector V2. The advantage of the novel method, which can also be employed for simultaneously determining several analytes, lies in the fact that its sensitivity and specificity are superior to those of known methods.

Abstract: The invention provides that a fastening device comprises a block (22) of plastics material of square cross section. It has a threaded bore (40) for the receipt of a bolt (20) which completes the fastening, and additionally, the block (22) has a through slot (26) extending from one end making the block (22) of U-shape so that it has legs (28, 30) and a base (32). This configuration is such that the legs (28, 30) can be sprung together so that they can be pushed into the end of a square sectioned cable ladder tube (12) to be connected at right angles to a cable ladder rail (10), whereupon they will spring apart so that projection on the legs engage in apertures in the tube walls and the block cannot be retracted. To secure the rail (10) to the tube end, the bolt is passed through a hole in the rail (10) and is screwed into the block, which is locked in the tube end. The advantages are pre-insertion of the blocks in the factory and simple assembly of the cable ladder on site, and secure connection joining of the rail (10) and tube ends (12).

Abstract: A frame of still picture data is captured at an instant specified by a user from video signals supplied from a given video source, such as a television receiver, a video camera, etc., and the image data is displayed.  When the user specifies an area of image to be cut out from the displayed still picture, the image data in the specified area is cut out and recorded as a cutout image.  Each cutout image recorded is displayed in the form of an icon.  When any of the icons is selected by the user, the corresponding cutout image data is read and pasted in a part to be changed in the original image data.  Thus an image can be easily created by user's choice.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une brosse à dents comportant une tête pourvue de soies et divisée en au moins deux parties (14, 16). La partie à extrémité libre (16), lorsqu'elle n'est soumise à aucune contrainte, est sollicitée, dans des conditions de fonctionnement normal, de manière à présenter un angle d'environ 15 DEG  par rapport à l'autre partie, et elle définit par conséquent une tête articulée. Les deux parties de la tête possèdent des extrémités qui se font face et qui sont reliées par une fine partie (30) de type charnière ou pont, intégrée aux deux parties de la tête, ledit pont ou ladite charnière formant une gorge entre les deux parties de tête adjacentes. La face supérieure de la partie constituant un pont est sensiblement en affleurement avec la face supérieure de la tête (opposée à la face portant les soies). L'espace entre les deux extrémités qui se font face est rempli d'un élastomère souple possédant une dureté Shore A comprise approximativement entre 5 et 30, et de préférence comprise approximativement entre 13 et 30. Cette construction à charnière définit une tête articulée à flexibilité limitée qui, lorsqu'elle est utilisée par un utilisateur adulte moyen, applique une force de brossage de 0,5 livres, et fléchit jusqu'à adopter une position sensiblement plate. Conformément à un second aspect de l'invention, chaque extrémité de la gorge se termine par une bride au niveau de son bord externe extrême, et la gorge, de même que la bride, est remplie d'un élastomère qui, en raison de la présence de la bride (32), résiste aux contraintes d'arrachement engendrées par le fléchissement de la charnière ou du joint.
