Abstract: A non-interference method of determining the frequency characteristics of a cable television (CATV) system adds an RF test pulse to an RF video signal in the vertical interval between equalizer pulses. A gated receiver (40) coupled to the distribution system (20) receives the RF video signal only during the vertical interval and extracts the envelope of the RF test pulse, with the sync pulses being attenuated. RF pulses of different frequencies within each channel of the CATV system are used to determine the frequency characteristics of each channel.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing image artifacts caused by over-ranging or clipping of the data collected in a tomographic scan fits a geometric model to the in-range data of each projection. The geometric model is sized to the in-range data by summing all of the data of the projection to obtain a value of the total slice volume. This geometric model is used to compute the slope of the over-range data from the last point of in-range data and this extrapolated data is substituted for the over-range data. The correction process is implemented in pipeline form by convolving an over-range mask indicating which data is in-range and which data is over-range with a box car convolution kernel which produces a trapezoidal correction mask. This correction mask, multiplied by the uncorrected projection data provides the appropriate slope to its clipped portions.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing atrial competition during sensor-driven operation of a dual-chamber pacemaker includes means for sensing atrial activity during an atrial refractory period. Atrial competition is avoided by either: (1) generating an atrial competition prevention (ACP) interval upon the detection of any atrial activity during the relative refractory portion of an atrial refractory period, and preventing any atrial stimulation pulses from being generated for the duration of such ACP interval; or (2) shortening the atrial refractory period in the event that the sensor-driven rate of the pacemaker begins to approach a rate that might place atrial stimulation pulses near the end of the unshortened atrial refractory period. Further, the invention includes features that allow monitoring of the intrinsic atrial rate to determine if such is much greater than the sensor-driven rate, and, if so: (1) reducing the maximum tracking rate of the pacemaker, and/or (2) switching the operating mode of the pacemaker from a dual-chamber sensor-driven mode to an single-chamber sensor-driven mode.

In a preferred embodiment, each blade is highly skewed, having a backward (with respect to fan rotation direction) skew in the root portion (15) of the blade nearest the hub, changing to a highly forward skew in the portion (16) of the blade near the tip. The fan may be shrouded or unshrouded. In the shrouded embodiment, the fan is used in conjunction with an inlet orifice structure (131). Each blade of the fan has a chord length that increases from root (17) to tip (18), a pitch angle that decreases from root to tip and a camber angle that decreases from root to tip. In the shrouded embodiment both the contour of the inlet portion (126) of the shroud and the contour of the inlet portion (132) of the orifice structure are quarter sections of ellipses. The fan reduces noise and requires lower input power as compared to prior art fans.
