Abstract: Devices ( 1,2 ) for use in frequency hopping systems ( 3 ) for frequency hopping through frequencies of a sequence of frequencies get a better overall performance by introducing selectors ( 4 ) for selecting the sequence from a number of sequences, which number of sequences comprises a first sequence and a second sequence, which first sequence is longer than the second sequence. Generators ( 7 ) generate the first and second sequences. Monitors ( 5 ) monitor channels in use and controllers ( 6 ) control the selectors ( 4 ) for, in a first mode, selecting the first sequence and for, in a second mode, selecting the second sequence in dependence of a monitoring result. Modifiers ( 8 ) modify the second sequence. The second sequence may form a subset of the first sequence. This all results in an increased overall quality and a reduced power consumption.

Abstract: Un ensemble d'étanchéité intégrée (60) et un connecteur (10) comprenant l'ensemble d'étanchéité pour se raccorder un câble coaxial (12) à un port fileté extérieur (100). L'ensemble d'étanchéité comprend une étanchéité par soufflet ayant un corps tubulaire élastique déformable et plusieurs surfaces d'étanchéité, et une section de jointage intégral (65) intermédiaire entre une extrémité extérieure (58) et une extrémité postérieure (59) qui favorise la déformation axiale de l'étanchéité en réponse à la force axiale. Une des surfaces d'étanchéité est faite pour s'engager sur une surface correspondante d'un écrou à filetage interne (40). L'écrou et l'étanchéité jointe forment un ensemble d'étanchéité intégré. Un connecteur pour câble coaxial (10) comprend un corps de connecteur (20). Une extrémité du corps reçoit le câble coaxial (12); l'ensemble d'étanchéité se monte en tournant sur l'autre extrémité. Le connecteur s'engage sur un port à filetage extérieur à l'aide d'un composant du connecteur avec écrou fileté intérieur. L'extrémité antérieure de l'étanchéité se fixe sur le port et une surface d'étanchéité permet d'étancher axialement contre un épaulement du port tandis que le corps d'étanchéité recouvre le port fileté extérieur. Lors du serrage de l'écrou sur le port, l'étanchéité fléchit dans le sens axial pour s'adapter à diverses distances entre le connecteur et l'épaulement du port. De plus, l'étanchéité peut s'étendre pour permettre à une seconde surface d'étanchéité d'entrer en contact et d'étancher contre une diversité de diamètres extérieurs doux du port. La polyvalence de l'étanchéité permet à un opérateur d'utiliser un connecteur sur une grande diversité de ports filetés extérieur sans risque de mauvaise étanchéité au raccordement ou d'un mauvais raccordement du à une mauvaise étanchéité.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the isolation and cancellation of the offset voltage component typically experienced at the input of sampled-data analog systems. In an exemplary embodiment, offset isolation and cancellation may be performed during normal operation of the sampling circuitry. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention combines a front-end switching topology with one or more differential integrator stages and a logic algorithm implemented in the differential integrator stages. In operation, the circuitry preferably performs a number of samples for each stage, applies an inversion factor to the samples in accordance with the algorithm and integrates the samples to effect the cancellation of the offset voltage without substantially affecting the sampled input.

Abstract: A method of refining molten metal in a vessel by the reaction of oxygen with impurities in the molten metal comprises the steps of: a) ejecting at least one primary jet of oxygen from a lance positioned above the molten metal into the molten metal to react with impurities therein and to form a layer of molten slag; b) continuing to eject the primary jet of oxygen from the lance and thereby causing the primary bet of oxygen to pass through the slag layer into the molten metal; c) ejecting a plurality of secondary jets of oxygen from the lance, the secondary jet of oxygen travelling for a distance separately from the primary jet of oxygen; and d) entraining the secondary jets of oxygen into the primary jet of oxygen upstream of the entry of the primary jet of oxygen into the molten metal. A lance head for use in the method has at least one primary oxygen port and a plurality of secondary oxygen ports, the axis of the second oxygen port diverging in the direction of flow from the primary oxygen port at an angle of up to 45°. The method and lance head are particularly of use in the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) process. If desired, a stirring gas such as argon may be mixed with the primary oxygen.

Abstract: A method of operating a first RFID read/write device and at least one second RFID read/write device is disclosed herein. The first and second RFID read/write devices respectively comprise an RF part and a baseband part with a digital signal processor. The first and second RFID read/write devices are arranged at a usable wireless transmission distance from one another. The method comprises generating a Reader Service Signal in its baseband form in the signal processor and combining the Reader Service Signal with an RFID signal in its baseband form comprising a carrier signal, so that the RFID signal has the Reader Service Signal embedded to it in amplitude, frequency or phase. Thereafter, the RFID signal with the embedded Reader Service Signal is shifted into an RF band and the RFID signal is transmitted as a transmission signal wirelessly by the RFID read/write devices. The transmission signal from the first RFID read/write device is received by a number of electronic tags for the purpose of communicating with the first RFID read/write device. Simultaneously, the transmission signal from the first RFID read/write device is received at least by the one second RFID read/write device for the purpose of communicating with the first RFID read/write device.

Abstract: A fruit skewer having an elongated central shaft for receiving and securing fruit, food or non-food items thereon for display or cooking. The portion of the shaft upon which the fruit or other item is to be situated has a cross-sectional area designed to prevent the object through which the skewer is inserted from rotating about the longitudinal axis of the skewer. In the preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area is in a cross ("+") shape, although other shapes are anticipated, including a "Y" shape as well as a star shape having five or more fins (e.g., "*"). In this embodiment, the end of the skewer is tapered or beveled to allow for the easy insertion of the skewer into the fruit or other object, and the fins are chamfered. At least one projection is provided along the length of the skewer, the projection being provided so as to prevent the item through which the skewer is being inserted from sliding too far down the length of the skewer. A second projection may also be provided along the portion of the skewer on which the fruit or other item is not intended to be situated, this portion serving as the handle for the skewer. This second projection serves to prevent the entire skewer from being inserted too far into a display holder. The end of the skewer along the handle portion is also beveled or tapered so as to allow for the easy insertion of the skewer into the display holder. Multiple projections of varying heights may also be provided along the length of the skewer to allow for the insertion and retention of multiple pieces of fruit.
