Abstract: A two wire/three wire utility data communications system for remotely reading utility meter registers. In the two wire version, a hand-held reading unit is inductively coupled over two wires via a port located remotely from a meter register. Alternatively, a meter interface unit (MIU) may be connected directly to the register via three wires. Each register includes one or more wheel position encoders. An AC interrogation signal is applied by the reading unit to encoder circuitry at the meter which powers the circuitry and causes the position of each encoder wheel to be read. In the two wire mode, register display information (e.g. the current meter reading) is transmitted back to the reading unit by varying the load (impedance) presented by the register side of the circuit. This causes a corresponding variation of the amount of current drawn from the reading unit. The current-modulated signal is decoded by the reading unit and converted into a register reading. The system can also operate in a three wire mode and read older fourteen wire encoded registers. Other features include remote programmability of register characteristics, the ability to interrogate multiple registers which share a common data bus, verification of encoder wheel positions before accepting a reading, real-time flow rate/leak detection, pulse output, and the capability of reading compound meters (i.e. meters having two registers to separately measure high/low flow rates).

Abstract: A routing system for a linear ADM having two drop switches (10, 40) operates to establish paths according to a relatively simple process and to establish paths according to a program that is relatively small in scale and inexpensive to develop. The routing system includes a first selection switch (11) for selecting one of a plurality of channels connected to a first transmission line and for outputting a signal transmitted through the selected channel. A first selector (12) selectively outputs and inhibits the signal transmitted from the first selection switch (11). The first selection switch (11) and the first selector (12) are provided in one of the drop switches (10). A second selection switch (41) selects one of a plurality of channels connected to a second transmission line and outputs a signal transmitted through the selected channel. A second selector (42) inhibits the signal transmitted from the second selection switch (41) when the first selector (12) outputs the signal, and outputs the signal when the first selector (12) inhibits the signal. The second selection switch (41) and the second selector (42) are provided in the other of the drop switches (40). The signals are transmitted from the first and second selectors (12, 42) to a transmitter/receiver for lower signal levels.

Abstract: A motion detector, particularly for use in a television system for transmitting television pictures in a digital form, is adapted to partition each picture into pixel blocks, to subject each pixel block to a modified intraframe transform for determining a first coefficient which corresponds to the basic picture having the lowest horizontal and highest vertical frequency, and to determine a plurality of further coefficients which correspond to basic pictures also having the lowest horizontal frequency, but a vertical frequency which is lower than that for the first coefficient. The motion detector signalizes the presence of motion within a pixel block if the first coefficient has a large absolute value, but if simultaneously none of the further coefficients has a sufficiently large absolute value. If the first coefficient has a sufficiently large absolute value, absence of motion is nevertheless signalized if simultaneously one of the further coefficients also has a sufficiently large absolute value.

Abstract: The performance of AC to DC and DC to DC boost preregulators, and the performance of the equipment of which they form a part, can be improved by means of an adaptive boost switching preregulator which can, when used with a load capable of operating over a range of load voltages, increase or optimize the conversion efficiency and reliability of both the preregulator and the load by adaptively controlling the load voltage as a function of the voltage of the input source. Also, a gain-variable current controller can be provided which allows for accurately controlling the waveform and magnitude of the input current of a switching preregulator as the preregulator load (and hence the input current) varies over a wide dynamic range, yet does so by comparing signals whose magnitudes are essentially independent of the magnitude of the load. In this way, second order effects, which cause degradation in control of power factor in other preregulators as load is decreased, are rendered less significant.

Abstract: A laminar burning internal combustion engine with a fuel injection time controlling function wherein production of smoke upon high load operation of the engine can be suppressed by control of the fuel injection time. Fuel injection time setting means (74) sets a fuel injection end time and further sets a fuel injection start time from the fuel injection end time and a required fuel amount, and injector driving means (72) drives an injector (66) in accordance with the fuel injection times. Consequently, air fuel mixture and air from a pair of intake ports (40, 42) are flowed into the combustion chamber (30) to make laminar tumble swirls so as to effect laminar combustion. Then, if judging means (76) judges that the engine is operating but not in the proximity of the fully open operation, then partial load time setting means (74) sets a fuel injection end time, but if the judging means (76) judges reversely, then fully open time setting means (74) sets a fuel injection end time to a predetermined time after starting of an intake stroke so as to suppress production of smoke.

Abstract: A method of improving voice quality in low-rate dynamic bit allocation sub-band coding (DBASC) by inserting synthetic filler signals for non-transmitted signal bands. Large spectral holes may exist in an output voice speech spectrum of DBASC with a low transmission rate. The holes are caused by low energy signal sub-bands that are not transmitted and create noticeable artifacts in the received voice signal. To avoid these artifacts, the spectral holes in the received signal are filled with synthetic signals generated from the received signal. The synthetic filler signals are signals from transmitted energy bands that are scaled to the energy level of the non-transmitted band.

Abstract: A controlled flexure element comprises an elongate body which is partitioned into chambers 16. These chambers receive fluid under pressure, such as compressed air, and are each connected by fluid carrying lines 34 to a pneumatic supply 36. An increase in pressure in any one chamber results in flexure of the element at that region of the element. Such flexure is detected by a plurality of displacement sensors 24 which are housed on an elongate metal strip 22 and run the length of the flexure element. By use of a processing unit 42 and a controller 40 the profile of the element and the load applied to it can be determined, and the applied pressure can be controlled to enable delicate or non-rigid objects to be manipulated.
