Abstract: A system and method for detecting convergence in an echo canceller prevent false convergence from occurring as a result of receiving only tones in an input signal. An adaptive filter is used in an echo canceller to estimate an echo signal produced by an unknown echo channel. The estimated echo signal is subtracted from the return signal to remove the echo produced by the unknown echo channel. To prevent the echo canceller from falsely converging on a signal which contains only tones a system and method are provided for detecting the presence of tones in the absence of other frequencies. Filter taps of the adaptive filter are filtered to produce a filtered signal. The amount of energy in the filtered signal is compared to the amount of energy in the unfiltered filter taps to determine whether only tones have been present. If only tones have been present, the echo canceller is not allowed to reduce the adaptation step size of the adaptive filter.

Abstract: An igniter nozzle, adjoining the main burner, is equipped with two electrodes connected to the spark generator (20). An oscillator (21) and a discharge circuit (22) produce a 15 kV beak-down lasting 5 microseconds. Operation is associated with an ionisation detector (11) using the same electrodes, which ascertains whether a flame is present. Its signal is compared with a preset value; if a flame is detected the oscillator is suppressed. The circuitry also includes boost amplifiers for opening (27) and for maintaining open (24) the gas admission valve (25); their output voltages exceed that of the power supply battery, which is insufficient to open the valve. Accidental opening is thus averted. The equipment is further described in European Patent 0 821 199 (q.v.).

Abstract: The present invention is a hydrodynamically lubricated interference type rotary shaft seal suitable for environmental exclusion and high pressure lubricant retention which incorporates an environment-side groove to control and minimize interfacial contact pressure at the dynamic sealing interface, which permits optimum hydrodynamic film thickness, thereby significantly lowering the self-generated heat produced by the seal, as compared to the prior art. The cool-running nature of the present invention permits the use of higher modulus seal materials and higher surface speeds, compared to the prior art, and allows the seal to operate in applications with relatively poor heat dissipation. The controlled interfacial contact pressure of the present invention also permits effective hydrodynamic lubrication with lower viscosity lubricants, including water.

Abstract: A software configurable technique for prioritizing and masking interrupts in a microprocessor-based system. Contents of a first plurality of registers map each of a plurality of interrupts to an appropriate one of a second plurality of registers and indicate which interrupts are masked. The second plurality of registers are arranged in a predetermined priority and each contains the starting address of an appropriate interrupt service routine for the corresponding interrupt. The interrupt signals are mapped to the outputs of a plurality of logical "OR" gates according to the contents of the first plurality of registers by a plurality of de-multiplexers coupled to the inputs of the plurality of logical "OR" gates. Each logical "OR" gate corresponds to one of the second plurality of registers. A plurality of logical "AND" gates are coupled to the outputs of the logical "OR" gates so as to allow only the highest priority enabled interrupt signal to enable the corresponding one of the second plurality of registers. The vector address stored in the enabled register is placed on a vector address bus for the microprocessor which places the vector address in its program counter. The microprocessor is then is interrupted and begins executing the appropriate interrupt service routine beginning at the appropriate vector address. The present invention provides readily configurable interrupts by altering the contents of the first and second plurality of registers.

Abstract: A system comprises a wireless master unit and one or more wireless slave units, each having a unique identifier. When a wireless slave unit is active, it is addressed by one of a limited number of temporary addresses. A PARK mode enables a wireless slave unit to be in an idle state during which its temporary address is deallocated, enabling that address to be assigned to another wireless slave unit. To page a parked slave, a paging beacon packet is broadcast to, and received by, each of the wireless slave units at fixed intervals during a master-to-slave time slot. Each wireless slave unit determines whether the received paging beacon packet includes its unique identifier. If so, the wireless slave unit retrieves a temporary address from the paging beacon packet. The wireless unit transmits a response to the wireless master unit during a subsequent slave-to-master time slot if the received paging beacon packet included the unique identifier belonging to the wireless slave unit. Parked wireless slave units are also assigned a unique response number by the master. The master broadcasts a polling beacon packet during a master-to-slave time slot. If the parked slave unit desires access to the channel, it transmits a response in an N:th slave-to-master time slot following the polling beacon packet where N is a function of the slave's unique response number.

IPC: H04N19/14
Filed: 2011-10-06
Abstract: Blocking artifacts at a block boundary (1) between a block (10) and a neighboring block (20) in a video frame are reduced by calculating an offset based on pixel values of pixels (11, 13) in a line (12) of pixels (11, 13, 15, 17) in the block (10) and based on pixel values of pixels (21, 23) in a corresponding line (22) of pixels (21, 23, 25, 27) in the neighboring block (20). The offset is added to the pixel value of the pixel (11) closest to the block boundary (1) in the line (12) of pixels (11, 13, 15, 17) and is subtracted from the pixel value of the pixel (21) closest to the block boundary (1) in the corresponding line (22) of pixels (21, 23, 25, 27). The resulting deblocking filter has good low-pass characteristics and is efficient for reducing blocking artifact.
