Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining a dominant frequency contained in a multi-frequency analog signal. An apparatus includes a first matched filter pair and a second a second matched filter pair. Both the first matched filter pair and the second matched filter pair are configured to receive in -phase (I-phase) and quadrature-phase (Q-phase) digital samples of a digitized multi-frequency analog signal. The summed magnitudes of outputs of the first and second matched filter pairs provide an indication of a dominant frequency represented in the digital samples. The first matched filter pair may include first and second matched filters, where the first matched filter includes a multiplier operable to multiply, on a sample-by-sample basis, a sample by a coefficient. A sample comprises an n-bit digital representation of either the I-phase amplitude or the Q-phase amplitude at a given instant. The coefficients are the terms required to complete the matching functions (e.g. 1-bit Walsh coefficients).

Abstract: An instrument for guiding a spinal rod into a rod-receiving portion of an implant comprises a linear portion comprising two relatively moveable shafts, an actuator portion coupled to the linear portion for moving the spinal rod relative to the implant and a handle portion for moving the shafts to actuate the actuator portion. The actuator portion holds the rod in place until the surgeon inserts a setscrew or other device for securing the rod to the anchor.  The actuator portion further defines a path for inserting and securing a locking device, such as a setscrew, for securing the rod in the implant while also holding the rod in the implant. The path for the screw is aligned with the rod~ holding portion of the implant. Using the instrument, a surgeon can guide a rod into a selected position in the implant, reposition the spine to match the contour of the rod, hold the rod in the selected position and secure the rod to the implant.

Title: Electromechanical lock device
Inventor: ANDERSSON DANIEL
IPC: E05B47/06

Granted: 2014-09-09
Abstract: A lock device comprises a housing (2) which includes an opening (4) and a core (10) which is rotatably mounted in the opening (4) about a longitudinal axis of the core and which includes a key way (12) for reception of a key. A  latching element (20) co-acts between the housing (2) and the core (10). An electronically controllable actuator (30) is mounted in the core (10) and which is movable by means of a motor (40) between an opening-registering position in which movement of the latching element (20) to the release position is permitted, and a latching position in which movement of the latching element (20) to the release position is blocked. The motor (40) is provided in a recess (10a) in the barrel surface (10b) of the core at a distance from the end surfaces of the core. Because the recess turns into a bore (10c) having a cross-section that essentially correspond to the cross-section of the actuator and which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core and in which the actuator (30) is provided; and that the latching element (20) is provided in a slit (10d) provided between the bore and the barrel surface of the core, the advantage is achieved that forces on the latching element are taken up by the core itself, which improves the security.  The provision of the recess at a distance from the end surfaces of the core gives at the same time a flexible solution as regards assembly. A method of assembling the lock device is also described.

Abstract: A wireless communication network supports 802.11b/g and a range extension mode, which supports at least one data rate lower than the lowest data rate in 802.11b/g. A transmitting station (which may be an access point or a user terminal) includes first and second processors. The first processor performs differential modulation and spectral spreading for a first set of at least one data rate (e.g., 1 and 2 Mbps) supported by 802.11b/g. The second processor performs forward error correction (FEC) encoding, symbol mapping, and spectral spreading for a second set of at least one data rate (e.g., 250, 500, and 1000 Kbps) supported by the range extension mode. The transmitting station can send a transmission at a data rate supported by either 802.11b/g or the range extension mode, e.g., depending on the desired coverage range for the transmission. A receiving station performs the complementary processing to recover the transmission.

Granted: 2012-01-17
Abstract: A low power, lightweight, collapsible and rugged antenna positioner for use in communicating with geostationary, geosynchronous and low earth orbit satellite. By collapsing, invention may be easily carried or shipped in a compact container. May be used in remote locations with simple or automated setup and orientation. Azimuth is adjusted by rotating an antenna in relation to a positioner base and elevation is adjusted by rotating an elevation motor coupled with the antenna. Manual orientation of antenna for linear polarized satellites yields lower weight and power usage. Updates ephemeris or TLE data via satellite. Algorithms used for search including Clarke Belt fallback, transponder/beacon searching switch, azimuth priority searching and tracking including uneven re-peak scheduling yield lower power usage. Orientation aid via user interface allows for smaller azimuth motor, simplifies wiring and lowers weight. Tilt compensation, bump detection and failure contingency provide robustness.

Abstract: A faulted circuit indicator comprises a processor, which dynamically determines a conductor de-energization level based on a monitored average current. This dynamically-determined de-energization level and/or monitored average current may be used to provide dynamic inrush restraint and/or dynamic backfeed restraint (reset restraint). If current within a power conductor falls below the determined de-energization level, the processor determines that the conductor has de-energized, and accordingly ignores high current spikes less than a predetermined duration that occur during re-energization.

Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a projector 2 receiving an image signal and projecting image light and a screen 1 including a projection plane of arbitrary shape. The projector 2 and screen 1 are connected with link mechanisms 3a to 3c and link mechanisms 3b and 3d. The relative position and posture between the projector 2 and the screen 1 are automatically or manually changeable. The relative position and posture between the projector 2 and the screen 1 are measured, and correction parameters for correcting distortion of image light projected from the projector 2 onto the screen 1 are calculated from the previously set viewing position of the viewer and the shape of the projection plane of the projector 2. Based on the calculated correction parameters, the image signal inputted into the projector 2 is subjected to distortion correction processing. It is therefore possible to allow the viewer to see a clear image even if the position of the screen is changed.
