IPC: A44B11/25
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: A seat belt buckle (12) includes a latch mechanism (20) and a field effect device (26). The latch mechanism (20) includes a latch (42) which is movable into and out of a locking position in which it engages a seat belt tongue (16) to interlock the tongue (16) with the latch mechanism (20). The field effect device (26) provides a first output if the seat belt tongue (16) is not interlocked with the latch mechanism (20) and provides a second, different output if the seat belt tongue (16) is interlocked with the latch mechanism (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Protection circuits for preventing an internal
circuit on a semiconductor substrate from being destroyed due to
an excess voltage are formed on the output end and input
end of an internal circuit. The protection circuit on the
input end has a gate electrode (15) comprised of a band-like
conductive film. This gate electrode (15) is grounded
and has a shape zigzagging in a waveform with crests and
troughs alternately appearing in a planar view. A drain
diffusion layer (14) connected to an output end of the
internal circuit is formed in one of two diffusion regions
of the surface of the semiconductor substrate that are
defined by the gate electrode (15), and a source diffusion
layer (16) grounded is formed in the other region. The
source diffusion layer (16) and the drain diffusion layer
(14) are formed integrally with each other, so that the
protection circuit on the input end is substantially
constituted by one buffer transistor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a jacquard
pattern control mechanism for a circular knitting
machine in which knitting instrumentalities (26) are
selected in accordance with a jacquard pattern and are
moved between three positions, namely, welt, tuck and
knit positions, by a selector jack (34), a rocker base (41) a
rocker bar (44) pivotally mounted on the rocker base and
control cams (32,38,48) for controlling the knitting
instrumentality, selector jack, rocker base and rocker
bar. Electromagnetic selection mechanisms (53,55,56)
attract selected portions of the rocker bar (44) to
determine to which position the knitting
instrumentality will be moved. The
selection mechanisms are more compact and have shorter
strokes to permit selection of all types of knitting
instrumentalities and all three positions without
reducing the number of yarn feeds.

IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the boundaries of guard
intervals of data symbols being received in a coded orthogonal frequency division
multiplexed signal. Temporal samples separated by an interval of an active interval
of a data symbol are associated in pairs, and difference signals obtained. The
dispersion of a first comparison block of difference signals is determined, and
compared to the dispersion of a second comparison block of difference signals, the
second comparison block being displaced from the first comparison block by n
samples. An F ratio is calculated for the dispersions of the two blocks. F ratios are
iterated in a succession of comparison blocks, and a signal representing the F ratios
subjected to peak detection. The peaks represent the boundaries of the symbol's
guard interval. This information is utilized in synchronizing an FFT window for
subsequent signal reconstruction.

Abstract: In ein Übertragungnetz ( NET ), z.B. ein Koaxialkabelnetz mit Rückkanal,
werden beispielsweise stationäre Störsignale von Radiosendern eingestrahlt,
die die Übertragung von breitbandigen Signalen, z.B. Daten, im
Rückkanalfrequenzbereich beeinträchtigen, da sie im selben
Frequenzbereich liegen. Die Sende-/Empfangseinheit ( SE1 ) einer Endstelle
( END ) beinhaltet eine Empfangseinheit ( EMP1 ) zum Empfang von
Frequenzwerten von stationären Störsignalen, die in die
Übertragungsstrecke eingestrahlt werden, einen Speicher ( MEMO1 ) zur
Speicherung der empfangenen Frequenzwerte sowie einen Generator
( SG1, NG1 ) zur Generierung einer Spreizfunktion mit spektralen
Nullstellen bei Frequenzwerten, die in Abhängigkeit von den gespeicherten
Frequenzwerten ermittelt werden und einen Multiplizierer ( MUL1 ) zur
Multiplikation der zu übertragenden breitbandigen Signale mit der
generierten Spreizfunktion mit spektralen Nullstellen. Die spektralen
Nullstellen werden derart generiert, daß bei einer Multiplikation der
Spreizfunktion mit den spektralen Nullstellen mit den einzelnen Störsignalen
jeweils wenigstens eine der spektralen Nullstellen im Frequenzbereich der
breitbandigen Signale liegt, so daß bei einer Entspreizung der
breitbandigen Signale in einer Zentrale ( ZE ) die Beeinträchtigung durch
die Störsignale reduziert wird.

Abstract: For accurately determining, in real time, the collapse
of a thermoplastic workpiece (34) processed in a press, such as
an ultrasonic welding apparatus (10) or a vibration welding
apparatus (10), a two-phase method is used. In the calibration
phase signals are generated which are responsive to the
yielding or displacement of the movable press portion
relative to the substantially stationary portion arising
from forced engagement of the workpiece within the press.
The force responsive displacement value is stored. 
     In the subsequent workpiece processing phase, when the
workpiece collapses due to the softening and flowing of
thermoplastic material as the workpiece is coupled to
vibrations, the previously stored force responsive displacement
value is recalled as a correction signal and subtracted from
the newly obtained displacement signal related to the same
force. The result of the subtraction is a true on-line
signal indicative of the collapse of the workpiece as it
occurs.

Abstract: A multi-drop per spot printing system delivers ink drops from different
droplet ejectors to reduce printhead signature. By dividing the ink density of ink
pixels or spots between different sources so that more than one discrete drop of
ink is required to fill a given pixel on the recording media, the probability of
generating artifacts created by droplet ejector misdirectionality and variations in
drop size are minimized. In operation, the multiple drop per spot printing system
provides a first and a second set of droplet ejectors that is defined using a single
printhead or a plurality of printheads. A first quantity of ink required for a
preselected pixel location on a recording media is deposited by a droplet ejector
using the first set of ejectors. Subsequently, a second quantity of ink required for
the preselected pixel location on the recording media is deposited by a droplet
ejector using the second set of ejectors.
