Abstract: Les retransmissions de trames NAK (à accusé de réception négatif) s'opèrent au moyen d'un canal de retransmission (103-105). En particulier, les trames NAK sont retransmises à des unités éloignées demandeuses (113-115) sur un canal (103-105) différent du canal (109) sur lequel elles ont d'abord été diffusées vers les unités éloignées (113-115). Comme la retransmission de trames à mauvaise réception se fait sur un canal autre que le canal multidiffusion en voie descendante, le débit de la transmission en voie descendante n'est pas réduit au moment de la retransmission. Il en résulte une bien meilleure transmission des données vers les unités qui ne nécessitent pas de retransmission de données.

Inventor: WYSE STANLEY F
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: Une erreur en quadrature se produit dans des gyroscopes vibrants en raison de défauts de fabrication, qui permettent à l'élément de détection (masse étalon) d'osciller autour d'un axe qui n'est pas orthogonal par rapport à l'axe de sortie. Cela crée une oscillation autour de l'axe de sortie qui présente une composante de l'accélération de la vibration de l'élément de détection. Cette oscillation de l'axe de sortie, qui est en phase avec l'accélération entraînée de l'élément de détection, est dite couple de quadrature car elle déphasée de 90 degrés par rapport à l'accélération induite par la vitesse angulaire. Pour éliminer cette oscillation d'axe de sortie, la présente invention génère des forces sinusoïdales sur la masse de vibration en appliquant des tensions de courant continu sur les électrodes de captage de la masse de vibration. Ces forces créent un mouvement de contre vibration autour de l'axe de sortie qui annule l'oscillation de l'axe de sortie générée par l'axe d'oscillation non orthogonal.

IPC: H03B5/26

Abstract: Disclosed is a Wien-Robinson oscillator in which a negative feedback branch and a positive feedback branch are arranged between the output of an operational amplifier and the reference potential. Said negative feedback branch comprises two serially connected resistors, the common switching point of which is connected to the inverting input of the operational amplifier. The positive feedback branch is formed by two serially connected RC members, the common switching point of which is connected to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier. Keeping the amplitude of the output voltage of the oscillator constant requires additional measures which increase the technical complexity of the circuit. In order to stabilize the output voltage of the oscillator while reducing the technical complexity, a third resistor is disposed between the end of the positive feedback branch, which is located opposite the reference potential, and the output of the operational amplifier. The common switching point of the positive feedback branch and the third resistor is connected to a positive and a negative auxiliary voltage supply via diodes of opposite polarity. The amounts of the two auxiliary voltage supplies are identical while the diodes are poled such that said diodes limit the voltage of the common switching point. Such oscillators are used for feeding inductive or capacitive displacement sensors, for example.

Abstract: A work pleasantness evaluating device and method for
evaluating the pleasantness of a work of any type such as
steering of a vehicle by a driver. Myogenic potentials of
a pair of muscles symmetrically present in a human body,
produced by a myogenic activity of the human body during a
work are measured and amplified. From the time-series
waveforms of the pair of the amplified myogenic potentials,
a synchronous contraction waveform of the pair of muscles
is generated. From the information on the intensity of the
generated synchronous contraction waveform or the
information on the frequency at a predetermined intensity
range, the level of the pleasantness of the work is
evaluated. The synchronous contraction waveform is
generated such that, for example, the time-series waveforms
of the pair of myogenic potentials are full-wave rectified,
and the rectified time-series waveform having the smaller
signal value out of the rectified time-series waveforms at
the same time is used as the synchronous contraction
waveform.
