Patent EP-0748061-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MONTE PAUL A
IPC: H04B7/155
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: This invention provides a method and system for accurately accounting for an amount of satellite communications system resources that are allotted to and utilized by a user terminal on a per call or connection basis. The method accumulates data at periodic intervals during a connection, the data indicating what portion of the overall system resources are utilized on both a forward link (gateway to satellite(s) to user terminal) and on a reverse link (user terminal to satellite(s) to gateway). The usage data can include power levels, data rates, user terminal location, and user terminal type. A Gateway (18) that is assigned to handling the call for the user terminal (13) accumulates the data and subsequently transfers the data over a terrestrial data network (39) to a Ground Operations Control Center (38). The center uses the data to determine an amount to be billed to a service provider associated with a service area that includes the gateway. The center may also uses this data to derive statistical information describing the communications traffic handled by the gateway, and to derive predicted resource allocation and resource scheduling information for the gateway.

Abstract: A pattern recognition system to qualify valid triggering for digital storage oscilloscopes. Valid trigger qualification may be established from recognition of triggering level and interval time information, as well as other pattern-related information, to start or stop waveform acquisition. Trigger qualification may be established from either a pattern match or a mismatch. The trigger recognition system may be further extended to the occurrence of complex signals, such as those associated with television, rotating machinery, or other phenomena occuring in predetermined or known patterns.

Abstract: The invention provides a decoder of symbols of received data, the data being encoded according to a convolutional encoding scheme and transmitted through a communications channel. The data is punctuated according to a puncturing matrix, and has a plurality of state values which describe a sequence of state transitions. The decoder has a generation unit that accepts the received data for calculating metrics of the transitions thereof. A selector responsive to the generation unit selects a path of transitions corresponding to the path produced by a transmitter of the data stream. A traceback unit maintains historical information representative of sequential decision operations of the selector. A counter is provided for counting illegal state transitions of the path selected by the selector, and a control unit, responsive to the counter, determines a puncture rate and adjusts a puncture phase of the received data. The decoder can be used in a VLSl receiver circuit which is adapted to the reception of QPSK modulated data.

Abstract: This method lines a substrate containing thermoplastic material, with a covering layer, by first heating the substrate in the relevant location, sufficiently to plasticise it. The heating interval is short, such that the substrate structure is only altered close to the surface. Following heating, the substrate temperature is lowered, causing the surface to set. Before, during or after thermal treatment, but before setting, the lining is brought into contact with the surface. The lining is pre-heated before application, to a temperature lying between the temperature of long-term use and the plasticisation temperature of the thermoplastic. Also claimed is equipment to carry out the process. This is summarised by rising and falling press faces, with a preferred system of IR heating (12) and temperature controls.

Abstract: A gateway 150 enables point to multipoint connectivity from voice, data, or SVD clients over voice and data networks. The gateway connects one or more known voice networks 115 (e.g. telephone networks) and one or more data networks 110 (e.g. LANs, WANs, and internet) so that clients on either network may access any of the networks via various devices like analog telephones 135, data modems, SVD modems 144, or direct data network connections (e.g., ethernet, token ring). The gateway has connections to both the data network(s) as well as the voice network(s). The gateway is capable of splitting a signal with both voice and data streams and routing either and/or both of these streams over the voice network alone, the data network, or both. A process, executing on the gateway enables the gateway to establish connections on gateway paths and to control and direct a flow of voice and data information between the destinations on these networks.

Abstract: In accordance with a method of this invention, and circuitry for performing the
method, there is disclosed a process for operating a radio frequency (RF) signal
power detector. The method includes the steps of (a) sampling the output of an
RF detector circuit to obtain a measurement of a value of the output when no RF
signal is input to the RF detector circuit; (b) storing the measurement; and (c)
subtracting, when an RF signal is input to the RF detector circuit, the stored
measurement from the output of the RF detector circuit to provide a subtracted
output signal. In pulsed (e.g., TDMA) embodiments of this invention the step of
sampling occurs between RF bursts, while in continuous wave (cw) embodiments
the step of sampling occurs during a time that an RF connection is opened or
otherwise blocked at an input of the RF detector circuit and a source of the RF
signal. A sample and hold function can be provided for sampling and holding the
subtracted output signal during a time that the input of the RF detector circuit is
blocked. The step of subtracting includes the steps of combining the measured
value with a transmitter power setting signal to obtain a corrected transmitter
power setting signal; and subtracting the output of the RF detector circuit, when
the RF signal is input to the RF detector circuit, from the corrected transmitter
power setting signal.

Abstract: When an information signal recorded in a magnetic
card is updated by an information recording and updating
apparatus, a spectrum spread signal corresponding to the
updated information signal is generated and it is then
recorded superimposing to the information recorded previously
in the magnetic card without erasing the old information.
Since the information is spectrum spread, alternation is
difficult. Moreover, the magnetic card may be discriminated
whether it may be used or not by considering the old
information recorded in the magnetic card when it is used.

Abstract: The transmission unit (SEN) has a delta sigma modulator (MOD) for the digitisation of the analogue or the quasi-analogue electrical signals. The modulator includes an integrator stage (I) and an amplifier in the form of a comparator. One-bit coding is carried out by means of a bistable flip-flop (FF). An electrical to optical converter (EO) receives the digitised signals and converts them into optical signals. The digital optical transmission system is a passive optical distributed network in which analogue TV signals are optically transmitted so that they can be readily recovered in a receiver. There is an optical to electrical converter in each receiver and a passive electrical filter is also incorporated. The filter may be a passive low-pass type, or in some cases a passive band-pass filter.

Depending on the sequence to be detected, the processed can be used, for example, to diagnose a genetic disease or chromosomal abnormality; a predisposition to a disease or condition, infection by a pathogenic organism, or for determining identity or heredity. A method and apparatus for creating multiple branch wells from a parent well is disclosed. A multiple branching sub is provided for placement at a branching node of a well. Such sub includes a branching chamber and a plurality of branching outlet members. The outlet members during construction of the branching sub, have previously been distorted into oblong shapes so that all of the branching outlet members fit within an imaginary cylinder which is coaxial with and substantially the same radius as the branching chamber. After deployment of the branching sub via a parent casing in the well, a forming tool is lowered to the interior of the sub. The outlet members are extended outwardly by the forming tool and simultaneously formed into substantially round tubes. Next, each outlet member is plugged with cement, after which each branch well is drilled through a respective outlet member. If desired, each branch may be lined with casing and sealed to a branching outlet by means of a casing hanger. A manifold placed in the branching chamber controls the production of each branch well to the parent well.
