Abstract: The invention consists of an integral transducer for a sound radiating diaphragm which may consist of a piezoelectric material, a substrate or a spacer and electrical connector means for a wire harness or other electrical connection. The substrate is used to enhance the motion of the piezoelectric element by spacing the piezoelectric element from the diaphragm. The substrate is larger in area than the piezoelectric element. The transducer system acts to impart motion to a diaphragm. The transducer comprises a piezoelectric element subject to displacement by applied electric potential that has a top side, an under side and an outer perimeter; a substrate that is joined to the underside of the piezoelectric element, and means to apply electric potential to the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: The present invention is accomplished by providing a dilatation balloon catheter with a flexible tip comprising a catheter body having proximal and distal ends with an outer shaft defining an inflation lumen. The catheter body has a coaxial inner guidewire shaft defining a guidewire lumen. An inflatable balloon is mounted at the distal end of the catheter body, the balloon has an outer diameter, an inner diameter, a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of the balloon is in fluid communication with the distal end of the inflation lumen and the distal end of the balloon is sealingly mounted to the guidewire shaft. The guidewire shaft extends distal to the distal end of of the balloon, the guidewire shaft has an outer diameter and a step down area. The guidewire shaft step down area begins just proximal to the distal end of the balloon. The guidewire shaft step down area has an outer diameter which is less than the outer diameter of the guidewire shaft. The distal end of the balloon is adhesively bonded to the guidewire shaft. The adhesive begins proximal to the distal end of the balloon and fills between the inner diameter of the balloon and the outer diameter of the guidewire shaft. The adhesive extends distally from the height of the outer diameter of the balloon at the distal end of the balloon. The adhesive tapers down distally to the outer diameter of the guidewire shaft step down area not more than 1 mm proximal of the distal end of the guidewire shaft.

Abstract: The rods (S1-S4) form part of an articulated quadrilateral arranged at adjustable angle to orientate the platform (P), rod (S1) being adjusted by motor and the angle adjusted by a rotary drive which turns the rod round an axis at right angles to the rod. The rod lengths (S1-S4) can be adjusted by a motorised thrust joint within the rod concerned, or again joined to the rod by an arm (A1). The angles are adjusted by turning one part of the rod round its axis (DA), e.g. off drive. The quadrilateral should be moved transverse to its plane and is suspended at least two and preferably three corners. Platform position can be obtained by means of linear drives (A1-A3), in which two of the rods are hinged to the linear drives (A1,A2) both travelling along a common linear guide (G).

to a plate-like component (16), has a ring-shaped recess (18)
present at an end face of the element (10) facing the component

improved security against rotation, an elevated press-out resistance
and an improved behaviour against alternating loads
in operation is achieved.

Abstract: A multiplexer comprises a number of directional filters 17 n  connected to a transmission line feeding an antenna 2, 3. Signals to be multiplexed fed to the filters 17 n  may be sent via respective switches 16 n . Unlike prior multiplexers where each directional filter defines a respective channel of the multiplex, the channels of the multiplexer of the invention, apart from one at the end, are defined by the band pass response of one directional filter and the band stop response of another directional filter, since the band pass responses of the directional filters from the input connected to the switch to the output connected to the transmission line, and the corresponding band stop responses between the two output ports connected to the transmission line, overlap each other. The same arrangement may be used for demultiplexing.

IPC: G11B20/22
Filed: 1997-09-08
Abstract: A magnetic tape data storage mechanism having variable speed tape
utilizes a clock reference signal encoded into data recorded along a
length of the tape. To write a clock signal under conditions of variable
tape speed, a preformatted pre-recorded servotrack on the tape is read
to produce a servotrack signal, the servotrack signal having a frequency
directly proportional to a speed of the tape past a write head. The
servotrack signal is multiplied (902) to produce a clock reference
signal frequency which is directly proportional to a speed of the tape
past the read head. To avoid a clock signal generator (1000) locking to
an unwanted harmonic of the clock reference signal, a limiter circuit
(1104) is applied which produces limit signals deduced from a coarse
speed measurement signal (S)
obtained eg. from a closed loop control mechanism of the tape drive
mechanism. The generated clock reference signal is compared with the
coarse tape speed signal, and a clock signal generator is reset to
output a signal corresponding to the tape speed if the generated clock
reference signal varies outside the predetermined limits. In a further
implementation, to read a clock signal already recorded on the encoded
data, under conditions of variable tape speed, a clock signal recovery
circuit (402) comprises a clock signal generator (403) which is used to
regenerate a reference clock signal. To avoid the clock signal generator
locking to an harmonic frequency of the encoded clock reference signal,
the clock signal generator is reset to a nominal frequency
representative of an expected clock signal frequency as determined from
a course speed signal (S), the coarse speed signal (S) being obtained
eg. from a closed loop tape drive circuit.

Abstract: A multi-standard receiver is which is particularly suited for reception of B/G-PAL and D/K-PAL TV signals. In the receiver, a tuner (TUN) selects a desired TV signal which is passed to a multi-standard demodulator (DEM) via an intermediate-frequency filter circuit (IFF). To obtain good performance, particularly in view of EN 55020 requirements, at moderate costs, the intermediate-frequency filter circuit (IFF) includes a main filter (FIL1) and an auxiliary filter (FIL2). The main filter (FIL1) may have a relatively narrow band, for example, just capable of passing a full B/G-PAL TV IF signal to the demodulator circuit. For D/K-PAL reception, the auxiliary filter (FIL2) is effectively switched (SW) in parallel with the main filter (FIL1). The auxiliary filter (FIL2) transfers the D/K-PAL sound carrier to the demodulator circuit (DEM), which transfer is not possible via the relatively narrow-band main filter (FIL1).

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting scene cuts in a block-based video coding system
Inventor: KUCHIBHOTLA PRASHANTH
IPC: H04N19/142
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: The scene change detector compares predicted macroblocks from an anchor image (140) to input macroblocks from an input image (120) on a macroblock-by-macroblock basis to generate a residual macroblock (142) representing the difference between each predicted macroblock (P) and each input macroblock (I). A variance (146) for each residual macroblock and a variance (148) for each input macroblock is computed after each comparison. The residual variance is compared to the input macroblock variance. Whenever the variance of the residual macroblock exceeds the variance of the input macroblock, a counter (152) is incremented. The scene cut detector repeats this process until each macroblock in the predicted image is compared to each input macroblock. If the count value ever exceeds a threshold level (154) while an input image is being processed, the scene cut detector sets a scene cut indicator flag.
