Abstract: The present invention contemplates an electrically conductive elastomer for
grafting to a substrate. The conductive elastomer comprises a non-conductive elastic
material having a quantity of conductive flakes interspersed therein, and which may
further comprise conductive particles interspersed in the nonconductive elastic material
or imbedded in an outer surface of the elastomer. 
     In different applications, the conductive elastomer is grafted:-
   1) To an elastic substrate to form electrically conductive circuit traces.   2) To an elastic substrate which is used as a telephone, computer, or calculator keypad.   3) To an elastic substrate to form a shield against unwanted electric and magnetic
fields.    
     Additionally, the present invention contemplates an electrically conductive
elastomer for grafting to thermoplastic, thermoset and metal substrates. For a
thermoset substrate, the elastomer comprises a mixture of an elastic material, a
quantity of electrically conductive flakes, a thermoplastic elastomer material, and a
thermoset material. For a thermoplastic substrate, the electrically conductive
elastomer comprises a mixture of an elastic material, a quantity of electrically
conductive flakes, a thermoplastic elastomer material, and a thermoplastic material.
The elastomer may further comprise a quantity of electrically conductive particles
interspersed within the mixture or a quantity of electrically conductive particles
imbedded in an outer surface of the elastomer. 
     Applications include grafting the elastomer to a thermoset circuit board to form
electrically conductive contact pads and circuit traces, or to a thermoplastic flex film to
form electrically conductive contact pads and circuit traces. 
     Additionally, the electrically conductive elastomer comprises a mixture of an
elastic material, a quantity of electrically conductive flakes, a thermoplastic elastomer
material, a conductive thermoplastic polymer material, and a noble metal or noble metal
composite material and may have electrically conductive particles interspersed within
the mixture or imbedded in an outer surface of the elastomer. 
     The elastomer is typically grafted to a substrate by a thermal process.

Abstract: A digital radio communication system has a mobile
transmitter (2) which transmits error protected digital
data on a plurality of radio carriers to a plurality of
receiving antennas (4). The receiving antennas are placed
around an area in which the transmitter is to be used. A
summation means is coupled to the receiving antennas and
the signals received by them are combined to produce an
output signal. The signal pulse from each receiving
antenna to the summation means include delays (12, 14) to
reduce the effect of interference between signals received
on two or more receiving antennas. A multi-carrier
receiver (10) is coupled to the summation means to receive
the output signal and it includes an error protection
decoder to decode the original digital data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing auxiliary data in a idle portion of a slot in a time division multiple access system are disclosed. A speech coder converts speech into digital signals that are coupled to a convolutional coder. The convolutional coder processes the digital signals using three or four connection polynomials to create two sets of outputs. One set of outputs, which is generated from first and second connection polynomials is identical to the standard output of a IS-136 convolutional coder. The second set of outputs, which are the auxiliary data, is generated using third and fourth connection polynomials. The second set of outputs is coupled to a puncturing function, which appropriately deletes portions of the second set of outputs. The remaining portion of the second set of outputs is transmitted in the idle portion of a time slot.

Abstract: The apparatus has means for generating a set of characteristic vectors which serve to approximately describe an input signal and which are associated with predetermined sample intervals of the signal. The arrangement also has circuitry for providing a hidden Markov model (HMM) for the signal. The arrangement determines a probability value which defines the probability that the set of vectors will occur in the HMM model. A threshold value circuit compares the probability value with a threshold value and makes a decision on the verification of the signal. The apparatus also includes means for automatic, person specific evaluation of the relevance of the characteristics combined in the vector set, by an LDA transformation, and for automatic selection of characteristic considered relevant.

Abstract: Upgrading of a subscriber connection to another requires an upgrading work done by an electrician. According to the invention, the type of connection is upgraded by remote control. A switch matrix bus including several parallel lines (1-8) is placed in the access node. Connected fixedly in advance to the bus are interface units of an ADSL connection and, when desired, of an ISDN connection, however, in such a way that only one interface is connected actively to one bus line at a time. A controlled switch element (SE1, SE2) connects a line coming from a test relay (R3) located between the end of the subscriber line (e.g. SL3) and its interface to the switch matrix bus instead of the test bus. With a remote control signal supplied through network management a choice is made of which test relay connects the connected subscriber line to the controlled switch element. Since the line or wire couple of the switch matrix bus for its part is connected fixedly to the interface of the ISDN or ADSL subscriber connection, this means that  the subscriber line can be connected by way of the switch matrix bus to the ISDN or ADSL interface instead of the original analog interface, or the subscriber line may be connected to the ADSL interface instead of the original ISDN interface. In this way, any subscriber line may be upgraded to a connection of another type by remote control.
