Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: For a digital transmission information system, in particular broadcast systems
that deliver the same services in adjacent areas on different frequencies like
DAB, video and data transmission in LF-, MF- or HF ranges, the invention
proposes criterias to switch to alternative frequencies without loosing the
service (seamless switch). The transmission system is defined such that the
receiver is able to test the alternative frequencies without loosing any relevant
information on the current tuned frequency. The signal in the air consists of
two parts, i.e. a continuous data-channel (SDC) like audio with interleaving in
time but not repeated, and a static data-channel (SDC) including information
about the service, multiplex configuration, program type, transmitter ID,
service ID and alternative frequency list. During the static data-channel, the
receiver has the time to check alternative frequencies without losing relevant
information data.

Abstract: Apparatus for extracting articles from a blister pack is described. The
apparatus comprises first (20) and second (22) opposing rollers
between which the pack is
able to pass for article extraction through pressure from the rollers.
The first roller (20) is
wholly or substantially cylindrical, and the second roller (22)
comprises a shaft (26) having a
plurality of transverse thereabouts, the discs (28)
being separately moveable along the
shaft. The shaft (26) preferably has circumferential grooves
therealong to assist location
of the discs during alignment. 
     The discs meet and support the sides of the wells holding the articles in a
similar manner to the edges of the lands in prior art machines, thereby to allow
pressure extraction by the other roller. However, because the discs are separate,
they can be aligned as desired or necessary to fit any blister pack configuration. The
discs are also easily moveable and locatable along the shaft for relignment.

Inventor: HENRY CHARLES HOWARD
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1998-10-05
Abstract: A Bragg-reflective Mach-Zehnder filter consists of two planar optical
waveguide segments (16,17) extending between 3 dB couplers (14,15). Each of the
segments includes a refractive index Bragg grating, preferably a single grating (18) that
extends across the two segments. In a conventional filter the straight-through (non-resonant)
signal emerges at the port (21) opposite to the input port (19), so that it is a
cross state of the filter. If the couplers (14,15) deviate from their nominal 50-50
coupling, there is a loss in the non-resonant signal which would significantly
accumulate in a chain of such filters. According to the invention a phase difference of
π radians between the two segments is introduced for transmitted signal, but not for
reflective signals, for example by placing a phase shifter (31) in one segment
downstream of the Bragg grating. The non-resonant signal now emerges at port 25, as
a bar state of the filter, and the transmission is less sensitive to deviations of the
couplers (14,15) from 50-50 coupling.

Abstract: A mobile radio telecommunications system is described in which the same user message
is transmitted with forward error correction (FEC) codes on three separate channels to a
receiver (45). The FEC codes for the three signals are different, e.g. different bits are

(45) includes a plurality of data receivers (40-42) for extracting the received signals as
well as a forward error correction decoder (48) for substantially simultaneously
decoding the differently forward error correction coded signals. The extracted decoded
signals can be used individually or combined in a variety of ways to improve reception.
