Inventor: MIYAMOTO YUKIE
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: In a transmit power control method in a CDMA mobile
communication system, it is thereby possible to change at a high
speed a reference SIR used for reference in a high-speed closed loop
control of an up link. The method includes the step of checking
whether one or more base transceiver stations (BTSs) are connected,
the step of, when a result of the checking step shows that two or more
BTSs are connected, selecting CH receive SIRs (Signal to
Interference Ratios) corresponding to the connected BTSs, and
making a calculation by using the selected values, and the step of
changing a value of a reference value Sref according to a result of
calculation. The method also includes the step of, when the result of
the checking shows that only one BTS is connected, setting the
reference value Sref to an upper limit, and the step of reporting the
changed reference value Sref to all the connected BTSs in each of the
steps. In the method, it is possible to decide the reference value Sref
in response to a variation in selection/synthesis gain due to an
increase or a decrease of the number of connected BTSs. Therefore,
it is possible to change the reference SIR at a high speed in response
to a variation in selection/synthesis gain due to an increase or a
decrease of the number of connected BTSs.

Title: Method of printing digital images using multiple colorants having substantially the same color
Inventor: COUWENHOVEN DOUGLAS W
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: A method is disclosed for reproducing digital images having at
least one color channel containing pixels using a digital printer having a set of
colorants, wherein two or more of the colorants of the set have substantially the
same color but different densities, and input code values for a particular color
channel are used to control colorant amounts for said two or more colorants. The
method includes forming a look-up table for each of the two or more colorants,
said look-up table producing a colorant control signal as a function of an input
code value for the particular color channel and wherein each control signal
individually corresponds to a colorant; addressing the look-up tables with the
input code value for each pixel of the digital image to determine the colorant
control signal for each of the two or more colorants; and controlling the digital
printer using the colorant control signal to control the colorant amount for each of
the two or more colorants in the process of reproducing the digital image.

Abstract: Properly designed optical waveguides exhibit anomalous (positive) dispersion
over a continuum of visible and near infrared wavelengths and, in one embodiment, the
fiber has zero-dispersion at a visible wavelength (e.g., about 760 nm). Preferably, the
zero-dispersion point occurs at a vis-nir wavelength where the normal (negative) material
dispersion is relatively high and the effective refractive index difference between the core
and the cladding is sufficiently large that the anomalous (positive) waveguide dispersion
compensates the normal material dispersion. Illustratively, the optical waveguide is a
microstructured fiber comprising a solid silica core surrounded by an inner cladding that
includes a plurality of capillary air holes that allow for index-guiding within the core.
The pattern formed by the cross-sections of the air holes, typically circles, may take on a
variety geometric configurations, such as a closely packed hexagon or triangle.
Alternatively, the cross-section of the air holes may form two mating, essentially
semicircular regions on either side of a core that is supported by a pair of radial webs.
As a result of the novel dispersion characteristics of the microstructured fibers combined
with small effective area cores, we have demonstrated several applications of the
invention that, in the prior art of standard single-mode fibers, have been possible only at
wavelengths greater than about 1300 nm, including pulse compression, bright soliton
propagation, fundamental mode-to-fundamental mode second harmonic generation, and
broadband continuum generation in the visible.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fluid delivery system
with particular application to electroplating. Two or
more reservoirs (58,60) are fluidly connected to one
or more processing chambers (56) by fluid delivery
lines (62). A gas source (90) is coupled to the
reservoirs to selectively pressurize the reservoirs
and cause fluid flow therefrom to the processing
chambers through the fluid delivery lines. The fluid
levels in the reservoirs and the processing chambers
are controlled to facilitate gravity-assisted flow of
fluid from the processing chambers (56) to the
reservoirs (58,60) via the fluid delivery line when
the fluid levels in the processing chambers are higher
than the fluid levels in the reservoirs. In
operation, the reservoirs are alternatively filled and
emptied with a fluid circulated between the reservoirs
and the processing chambers. Alternatively filling
and emptying the reservoirs relative to one another at
constant rates maintains the fluid level and flow rate
in the processing chamber substantially constant.

region of the hinge axis (65) provided by the friction hinge assembly (40); and, the greater
the separating force which is applied, the more will the hook (58) move into captive
engagement with the retaining formation (57) to provide an enhanced resisting force.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the state of entrainment between biological systems which exhibit oscillatory behavior such as heart rhythms, respiration, blood pressure waves and low frequency brain waves based on a determination of heart rate variability (HRV) and an evaluation of the power spectrum thereof. Entrainment reflects a harmonious balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system within the body. This internal state of heightened physiological efficiency enhances health and promotes optimal performance. According to one embodiment a method is used to determine the entrainment level based on an entrainment parameter related to HRV. The method first determines the power distribution spectrum (PSD) and then calculates an entrainment parameter (EP), which is a measure of the power distribution in the HRV spectrum. High EP values occur when this power is concentrated within a relatively narrow range of frequencies, and lower values when the power is distributed over a broader range of frequencies. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided for monitoring the heart beat and presenting this information via a personal computer, handheld device, or other processing means.

Abstract: To provide a cross-flow fan that is ideal for use in an excimer laser device or fluoride
laser device that is capable of high-speed rotation, that has high mechanical strength even at
high-speed rotation and that does not suffer deformation, a rotating shaft is mounted passing
through the center of cross-flow fan for a discharge excitation gas laser device. Use of the
rotating shaft facilitates alignment of the rotating shaft and high-speed rotation is possible
because the mechanical strength is raised. Furthermore, magnetic bearings can be used since
misalignment does not develop. The flow velocity is not adversely affected even if a rotating
shaft, as noted above, is utilized since a cross-flow fan for gas circulation in an excimer laser
device is used under high-head, low-flow velocity conditions. Deformation due to shaft
weight can be reduced since the weight of the rotating shaft can be lowered by providing a
hollow section within the rotating shaft, and that increases the inherent oscillation frequency
which permits still higher speeds.
