Abstract: L'invention concerne un coupleur auditif flexible et transparent, en une pièce, destiné à être utilisé dans des tests auditifs. Ce coupleur comprend une paroi latérale annulaire et une paroi inférieure formant une chambre acoustique. Un rebord flexible à envers adhésif est disposé sur la périphérie du coupleur auditif. Le rebord se fixe sur la tête de l'utilisateur et maintient fermement le coupleur auditif en place sur l'oreille. La paroi latérale annulaire comporte un orifice destiné au placement d'un ensemble transducteur, ainsi que des nervures servant à bloquer l'ensemble transducteur en place. Cet ensemble transducteur peut être placé dans une position élevée ou abaissée et peut être commuté entre ces deux positions lorsque le coupleur est fixé sur la tête du sujet. Le coupleur auditif selon l'invention s'adapte avantageusement à la forme de la tête du sujet, ce qui réduit la probabilité qu'il se détache pendant les tests. Le coupleur selon l'invention peut être fabriqué à faible coût car sa structure en une pièce permet la mise en oeuvre de procédés à relativement faible coût, tels que le moulage par injection et le thermoformage.

Abstract: A truly random sequence of bits is transmitted from a transmitter, such that a receiver can receive and store a portion of the transmission for the duration of time that the receiver is within range of the transmitter. Thereafter, the stored sequence in the receiver is compared to a stored copy of the continuous transmission to determine the time that the stored sequence was transmitted. If the sequence of bits is truly random, the security of the system is assured.

IPC: A63B23/02
Filed: 2002-07-05
Abstract: A stretch therapy apparatus (10) provides for enhanced physical fitness as well as rehabilitation and medical treatment by allowing the user to increase core flexibility and shoulder flexion. The stretch therapy apparatus (10) includes both a hip locking mechanism that retains the user's hips securely so that he or she may then rotate about his or her spine to grasp a grip (35) (i.e., handle, vertical pole, etc.) located outside the opposing hip and preferably located behind the user's opposite shoulder prior to beginning the stretch. One embodiment of the hip locking mechanism allows the user to easily and safely separate his or her legs by 180 degrees or more using a hand crank or motorized mechanism. Alternatively, the hips and pelvis may be locked in place by the legs being restrained and the hips pushed against an object such as the back of a chair. For core flexibility enhancement, preferably the grip (35) is moveable to varying locations so that increases in the user's flexibility can be realized and positive feedback can be provided. A series of grips may also be used whereby progress is charted by being able to reach to further and further grips. Resistance training may also be employed wherein the grip may be affixed to a weight stack for either pulling the user's arm across his or her chest, or the weight can be lifted after achieving the stretch. For shoulder flexion enhancement, the user will grasp a grip located on the same side of his or her body and lift the user's elbow towards vertical.

Abstract: In a four-by-four orthogonal transform mode, an input data buffer(33) enters a first half of
entered eight pieces of pixel data, i.e., "x0A", "x1A", "x2A", and "x3A", into each of the first
to fourth multiply-and-accumulation (MAC) operation circuit(34a)-(34d)s, while feeding a
second half of the entered eight pieces of pixel data, i.e., "x0B", "x1B", "x2B", and "x3B", into
each of the fifth to eighth MAC operation circuit(34e)-(34h)s. In an eight-by-eight orthogonal
transform mode, the input data buffer(33) feeds entered eight pieces of pixel data into each of
the first to eighth MAC operation circuit(34a)-(34h)s. Since the input data buffer(33) receives
the eight pieces of pixel data in each of the four-by-four and eight-by-eight orthogonal
transform modes, an orthogonal transform circuit(100) is activated once in each of the
four-by-four and eight-by-eight orthogonal transform modes. In both of the four-by-four and
eight-by-eight orthogonal transform modes, the same first to eighth MAC operation
circuit(34a)-(34h)s are used to produce the orthogonal transform coefficient data. This feature
inhibits an increase in hardware area.

Abstract: A reduction gear ratio n of a reduction gear is multiplied
by a steering angular speed by a multiplier, and the deviation
e achieved by subtracting a motor rotational speed from the
multiplication value is integrated and then multiplied by an
integration gain to achieve a current target value. The current
target value is added with the multiplication value of the
deviation e and a proportional gain in a phase compensator to
perform phase compensation. The phase-compensation result is
added with the value achieved by differentiating the motor
rotational speed and multiplying the differential value thus
achieved by a control gain in an inertia compensator to perform
inertia compensation. Further, the value achieved by
multiplying the motor rotational speed by a control gain is
subtracted from the inertia-compensation result in a damping
controller to perform damping control, and a final current target
value It is achieved from an adder.

Mach-Zehnder interferometers and any number of
asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers connected in
cascade. In the optical circuit, low coherence light
is used first to obtain individual phase control

asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers. Second,
phase control conditions of the individual asymmetrical
Mach-Zehnder interferometers are obtained by
controlling the symmetrical Mach-Zehnder
interferometers based on the first phase control
conditions. Finally, the characteristic adjustment of
the whole multistage Mach-Zehnder interferometer type
optical circuit is carried out by controlling all the
interferometers based on the phase control conditions
of both the symmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers
and asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers and
setting the phase shift amounts of the individual
interferometers at appropriate values.
