Patent EP-1282978-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: A communications device employs noise-adaptive transmit signal gain that takes echo cancellation into account so that a remote listener engaged in conversation with a local user of the communications device is not subjected to overly loud received voice when the local user experiences high ambient noise. Because the noise environment for the local user comprises not only local background noise, but also noise received through the communications device from the remote user, the communications device employs echo cancellation to ensure the transmit signal gain adaptations are not erroneously influenced by remote noise. A gain associated with the transmit signal is adjusted based on estimated noise, with the noise estimate taking the effects of echo cancellation into account. By decreasing transmit signal gain in response to increasing local noise, the communications device may compensate for the increasing speech volume of the local user generally caused by an increase in local noise. In order to avoid abrupt, noticeable gain adjustments, the communications device may employ hysteresis between the noise level at which the transmit gain is reduced and the noise level at which it is increased. Further, the communications device may adjust transmit signal gain incrementally over a defined time period. Optionally, the communications device may increase receive signal gain in tandem with decreasing transmit signal gain, such that overall transmit/receive loop gain remains relatively constant.

Abstract: In a housed state, a magnetic fluid 4 is positioned in
a groove 11 and spaced from the outer circumference of a
lens barrel 10, so that a fluorochemical surface
modification film of the outer circumference of the lens
barrel 10 can be prevented from deteriorating at a position
to confront the magnetic fluid 4 in the housed state.
Therefore, the deterioration of the fluorochemical surface
modification film of the outer circumference of the lens
barrel 10 does not proceed earlier at a local region, so
that the premature wetting of the outer circumference of the
lens barrel 10 with the magnetic fluid 4 can be prevented to
elongate the lifetime of a light shielding device 1.

Abstract: A logic circuit with a pipelined structure has a
plurality stage of combinational circuits and memory
circuits such as flip-flops connected among the pipeline
combinational circuits. The pipeline combinational
circuits constituting a logic circuit is operated at a
cycle time shorter than a signal propagation time for the
critical path of the pipeline combinational circuit. For
the case of activation of the path not covered by this
cycle time, another combinational circuit and its
peripheral circuits are additionally provided for
generating a correction signal. Another combinational
circuit has substantially the same logic. The cycle time
is determined so as to cover the critical path including
another combinational circuit. A comparator circuit
compares an output signal of another combinational circuit
and an output signal of the combinational circuit. If both
the signals are not coincident, a selector is controlled to
correct the signal by using the output signal of another
combinational circuit.
