Abstract: A system for communicating digital data comprises a splitting device (38) for separating an input digital data word, which may be provided by a speech coding arrangement (34,36), into most significant bits and less significant bits. The most significant bit(s) of the digital data word are encoded (40) using a robust signalling alphabet and less significant bit(s) are encoded (42,44) using progressively less robust signalling alphabets. All of the symbols resulting from the encoding are combined (46) and transmitted (48). On reception (50) the received signal is split (52) and demodulated (54,56,58) to provide respective portions of a received data word to a combining means (60). Where the data word was originally provided by speech coding arrangement the received data word may be provided to a resynthesising arrangement (62,64). The signalling alphabets may comprise 2-level modulation, 3,4 and 8-level modulation and/or phase modulation of various degrees.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement suitable for high-frequency operation of a discharge lamp, provided with
     input terminals (1, 2) for connection to a low-frequency supply voltage source,   rectifying means (G) coupled to the input terminals for rectifying a low-frequency supply voltage supplied by the low-frequency supply voltage source,   a DC-AC converter,   a branch (22) of which a first end is connected to a point of the DC-AC converter at which a high-frequency voltage is present during lamp operation and of which a further end is coupled to the rectifying means.   
     According to the invention, the further branch is conducting at least for alternating current in both directions, and the further end of the branch is connected to a first input terminal. 
     It is achieved thereby that the amount of interference caused by the circuit arrangement is considerably reduced, while the circuit arrangement can be realised with a comparatively small number of components.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting digital signal information (10) to a receiver using a plurality of antennas (55,55). The invention involves applying a channel code (20) to a digital signal (x(i)) producing one or more symbols (a(n)). A plurality of symbol copies is made and each copy (u(n)) is weighted (in 50) by a distinct time varying function. Each antenna transmits a signal based on one of the weighted symbol copies ( c ₁(n) ..  C     M   ( n )). Any channel code may be used with the invention, such as a convolutional channel code or block channel code. Weighting provided to symbol copies may involve application of an amplitude gain, phase shift, or both. The present invention may be used in combination with either or both conventional interleavers and constellation mappers.

Abstract: A prediction control apparatus for a robot and a machine tool in which a future target value has already been known and which enables a robot and a machine tool to follow up a target command at a high speed and with a high accuracy without requiring a learning step. This apparatus prediction determines a control input which is outputted at every predetermined sampling cycle to an object to be controlled so that an output from the object to be controlled agree with a target command in such a manner that a future deviation predictor determined on the basis of a model of the object to be controlled becomes minimal. The apparatus consists of: (a) means for inputting outputs of a future target command and an object to be controlled, (b) means for storing a future target command, a prediction control constant and a past control input, (c) means for determining a follow-up deviation on the basis of the difference between a target command and an output from the object to be controlled, and (d) means for computing a control input, which is outputted to the object to be controlled, on the basis of a future target command, an output of the object to be controlled, a past control input, a deviation and a model of the object to be controlled, in such a manner that an evaluation function including weighted square sum of a predicted value of a future deviation becomes minimal.

IPC: E01B9/28
Filed: 1993-06-18
Abstract: A rail anchoring element has a fastening bolt (3) which extends through a plastic spring element (5) and is anchored in the soleplate (6), clamping the plastic element (5) between a rail foot (1) and a support on the soleplate (6). The spring element is designed as an elastic plate provided on its lower side with a downwardly projecting lug (26) which clamps the rail foot. The elastic plate should be made of thermoplastic polyurethane. The varying thickness of different sections of the elastic plate allows variable spring excursions and clamping forces to be set for a rail foot in relation to the reaction forces at the soleplate. The lug, if required combined with other components on the soleplate, secures the bracing construction against rotation and if required against transverse sliding.
