Patent EP-0690323-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIYAMA NAOKI C O YOKOHAMA W
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: An analog photodiode module converts the light including many AM signals of different frequencies into electric signals. It is desirable to suppress the distortion caused by the non-linearity of the light-current conversion in the PD module (3, 4) as completely as possible. Extreme convergence of beams enhances the sensitivity but raised the distortion. Prior modules suppressed the distortion at an expense of the sensitivity. Present invention positions the end of the fiber (8) at a point which is closer to the lens (5) than the maximum sensitivity range and give distortion smaller than the predetermined value. The high sensitivity and the low distortion are compatible at the point.

The gas subsequently used in the second chamber is introduced back into the first chamber for reuse of the gas. At least a portion of the circulated gas is purified to increase its purity. A purity sensor (110) detects the purity of gas discharged from the second chamber and, in accordance with the detection, the rate of gas purification is adjusted.

Abstract: Synergy between operations performed by a speech-rate modification system and those operations performed in a speech coding system is exploited to provide a speech-rate modification system with reduced hardware requirements. The speech rate of an input signal is modified based on a signal representing a predetermined change in speech rate. The modified speech-rate signal is then filtered to generate a speech signal having increased short-term correlation. Modification of the input speech signal may be performed by inserting in the input speech signal a previous sequence of samples corresponding substantially to a pitch cycle. Alternatively, the input speech signal may be modified by removing from the input speech signal a sequence of samples corresponding substantially to a pitch cycle.

Abstract: A walker is provided with a non-rotatable glide assembly that easily slides over the ground surface when a walker is lifted and advanced forwardly. As soon as a predetermined downward force is exerted on the walker legs, the glides retract and non-slip crutch tips engage the ground surface. Moreover, an individual glide may be easily removed and substituted by a wheel that provides rolling contact with the ground surface. The remainder of the mounting structure is used so that the walker may be easily converted from a glide to wheeled arrangement.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for controlling input/output (I/O) operations in a computer system provides multiple PC card controllers but allows legacy software to be used. A PCI bus is coupled to a central processing unit, and an ISA bus is coupled to the PCI bus by a bridge. At least one PC card controller is coupled to the PCI bus and at least one other PC card controller is coupled to the ISA bus. Each PC card controller has at least one socket in which a device is connectable, each socket being separately addressable by the processor at an (I/O) address through the respect PC card controller. Each controller also has a socket pointer register, each socket pointer register being loadable with socket pointer information that uniquely identifies each socket of the controller among all of the sockets of the plurality of controllers in the computer system. Each controller also has an index register and a plurality of data registers, the index stored in the index register pointing to one of the data registers. The index registers of the PC card controllers are updated when the processor writes to an I/O address, without acknowledging the write on the PCI bus. This allows the writes to propagate through the system to lower levels, instead of being stopped by a subtractive decode device. To perform this, each PC card controller compares the socket pointer information with the updated index in the index register. When at least a portion of the socket pointer information matches at least a portion of the updated index, the PC card controller updates with write data the data register pointed to by the index register.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method at a digital radio communication system such as DECT which makes possible to increase said system with further frequency bands with retaining of the dynamic channel allocation and with possibility to at the same time, within the same time frame, be able to use both the frequency bands. This is attended to by that a time slot in DECT's time slot structure is given a special function which results in that, when a base unit at channel scanning reaches said time slot, a scanning etc starts within the ISM-band and if the dynamic channel allocation algorithm (DCA) chooses to use the time slot, then base station and portable will switch themselves for transmission on the ISM-band. Further there is a time slot on the ISM-band which in corresponding way functions as communication link towards the 1800 MHz-band, at which if the dynamic channel allocation algorithm chooses to utilize this time slot, base station and portable switch themselves for transmission on the 1800 MHz-band.

Abstract: Prior art laminated systems consist of alternately applied silver and metal oxide layers. The reactive sputtering of the metal oxide layer destroys the underlying silver layer and thus its effectiveness. To prevent this anoxidation, a blocking layer of metal is applied between the two layers, which increases the complexity. According to the invention, the metal oxide layers are applied from the two metal sputtering electrodes alternately operated at different polarities. The silver layers are applied in a vacuum in the prior art manner. The pole change frequency is 30 to 80 kHz. The laminated systems are preferably applied to glass and are used for window glazing.

Abstract: An image-shifting means shifts photographing light from
a subject by a predetermined amount relative to a charge
coupled device on a two-dimensional basis. The charge
coupled device outputs an electric signal corresponding to
the quantity of received photographing light that has passed
through the image-shifting means to an A/D converter. An
image memory stores image data from the A/D converter.
Further, a light-quantity correction section converts a
predetermined pixel value (for example, a minimum value, the
average value, a maximum value, etc.) of the image data
after the shift that has been stored in the image memory
into a predetermined pixel value of the image data before
the shift, and corrects the difference between quantities of
photographing light before and after the shift by making the
two pixel values coincide with each other. This makes it
possible to eliminate the difference between quantities of
photographing light before and after the image shift, and
consequently to prevent degradation in the image quality of
a composite image due to the difference between quantities
of photographing light before and after the image shift.

Abstract: A multi-party communication in a telecommunications network, sometimes termed a conference call, is set up between a plurality of parties in different locations using a signalling protocol which is independent of the bearer connections between those parties. The bearer connections carry various media (e.g. audio, video, data) between the parties, who individually may have access to some or all of the total set of media in use in the conference call, and each medium may utilise a different topography of bearer connections. By providing for the conference call a signalling protocol which is independent of bearer connections and of the signalling protocols used to establish those connections, the conference call can be established, controlled and finally terminated in a manner that is independent of the topology of any of the media involved.
