Title: Fire alarm system
IPC: G08B25/04
Filed: 1990-05-01
Abstract: A fire alarm system is disclosed in which a receiver 
unit such as a fire control panel or a repeater (T) has zone lines (L,) 
connected thereto, with various types of fire detectors (DF1,DE2) being 
connected to the zone line. Supervising power is normally 
supplied to the zone lines. When the receiver unit receives a 
fire signal via a zone line from a fire detector, the receiver 
unit decides from what type of detector the fire signal was 
transmitted. Types of fire detectors include, for example, a 
type having as switching means only a mechanical contact for 
causing said zone line to be in a short-circuited condition, a 
type having as switching means a switching circuit with a self-­
holding function, or a type having a response lamp. In response 
to the receipt of the fire signal, either no power, or suitably 
reduced power or reduced constant current for the zone line to 
which the operated detector transmitting the fire signal is 
connected is supplied, depending on the type of detector that 
has operated, to thereby allow a reduction in power consumption.

Patent EP-0606726-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ANDERSON DANA ZACHERY
IPC: H01S3/00
Filed: 1993-12-08
Abstract: The invention involves a method for making Bragg gratings in glass 
optical fibers, or other glass optical waveguides (10), which is relatively insensitive 
to perturbations in the actinic light used for processing. This method is suitable for

The rubber sheet (5) preceding the doctor blade (4) isolates the water pond formed in front of the doctor blade from the surface of the roll (1), whereby the rotational movement of the roll (1) cannot induce turbulence and splashes. <MATH>
Patent EP-0689324-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SAKA HIROSHI
IPC: H04L27/227
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: A QPSK modulation signal is processed with
frequency conversion into an IF signal by a channel
selection circuit, and then is converted into a baseband
signal by a quadrature demodulator. The baseband signal
has a wave thereof shaped by DTFs and then sent to a
carrier recovery circuit. An offset frequency of the IF
signal detected by an AFC circuit is compensated for by
a baseband frequency converter including a complex
multiplier and a DVCO. The frequency tracking circuit
detects whether an operating frequency of another DVCO in
the carrier recovery circuit goes beyond a range. By
tracking an oscillation frequency of the DVCO in the
baseband frequency converter so as not to go beyond the
reference value, frequency deviation of the spectrum of
signals which are input to the DTFs is controlled not to
go beyond the reference value. By offsetting a frequency
dividing ratio of a variable frequency divider of the
channel selection circuit by an amount corresponding to
the offset frequency of the IF signal detected by the
frequency detector, the frequency deviation of the QPSK
modulation signal can be compensated for whichever
channel is selected.

Inventor: MALLADI DEVIPRASAD
IPC: H01L23/50
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: Switching noise at integrated circuit V DD  and V SS  metal
traces is reduced by minimizing lead inductance in on-chip
bypass capacitors (74,74'). For each on-chip bypass capacitor,
a pair of V DD -carrying and V SS -carrying metal traces
(20',20",22',22") is formed, these traces having regions spaced-apart laterally
a distance ΔX corresponding to lateral separation
of the bypass capacitor connecting pads. For each bypass
capacitor, column-shaped openings, spaced-apart distance
ΔX, are formed through the passivation and inter-metal
oxide layers, as needed. These openings expose and access
regions of the pair of spaced-apart metal traces
carrying V SS  and V DD . These openings, which may be formed
after the IC has been fabricated, preferably are formed
using focussed ion beam technology ("FIB"). Alternatively,
these openings may be formed using masking and etching
steps. The column-shaped openings are then made into
conductive columnar elements (66,68,66',68'), preferably using FIB deposition
of tungsten or platinum. Conductive element pads (70,72,70',72')
are formed atop the conductive columnar elements at the
outer surface of the IC passivation layer. The bypass
capacitors are then attached to the IC (12), and the capacitor
connecting pads are electrically connected to the respective
conductive element pads using conductive epoxy or
other conductive bond material. This direct attachment
of the on-chip bypass capacitors reduces effective capacitance
lead inductance and improves attenuation of on-chip
switching noise.

Inventor: BETTS WILLIAM LEWIS
IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: The present invention discloses an improvement over
existing techniques for transmitting data over voice-band
telephone channels by automatically adapting the amount of
warping or compression that is applied to a sequence of
signal points. A sequence of warped signal points, each
of which is related to a respective signal point of a
predetermined base constellation according to a warp
function, is received in a decoder via a transmission
channel having a non-linear component. After each of the
received signal points is unwarped using substantially an
inverse of the warp function, the average dispersions of
the received inner and outer signal points about
corresponding sequences of expected signal points are
calculated. The difference between the average dispersion
of the inner and outer points is then computed and used to
update the amount of warping or compression in order to
further minimize the effects of the channel non-linearity.
The desired amount of warping is communicated to the
transmitting encoder.
