Patent AU-6952981-A (AU)
Title: Video signal circuit for identification of articles
Inventor: WEVELSIEP K
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1981-04-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for identifying objects (e.g. consumer products in a supermarket) appearing in random positions and orientations and for random times on an image window and having an identification on the surface facing the image window in the form of a data field having contrasting indicia in at least one data track. The data field is first scanned with a scanning raster until a product identification code is recognized denoting the position and orientation of the data track. The data track is then read with a closely-spaced reading raster and converted to a videosignal. The amplitude of the videosignal is coded into binary digits at discrete time points and the digits are stored in a memory matrix organized into columns and rows in such a manner that an image of the data track is stored in the memory. Mutually overlapping partial regions of the memory are then read out in a pre-arranged sequence and fed to a decoder capable of accepting and decoding the information in this form. In this way, the information is converted from a row-by-row sequence produced by the reading raster into a succession of digits corresponding to individual partial regions of the data track for the recognition of individual symbols appearing therein.

Abstract: Various methods and associated apparatuses are provided for communicating data from a central station to a remote station over some form of communications path. The data, which together form at least one title, are stored on at least one storage device. The data forming that title are then retrieved as data blocks from storage. Each data block is a sequential segment of the data. Finally, the retrieved data blocks are transmitted from the central station to the remote station. According to preferred embodiments, two types of storage devices are provided. The first type, preferably formed as an array of playback units, allows the data to be stored as data blocks and distributed accordingly over a plurality of storage devices. The second type, preferably formed as ring structures composed of solid state elements, provides a plurality of access points coupled to the storage medium, each of which is able to retrieve the data independently of other access points. For further versatility in the system, the data blocks can also be transmitted independently of one another from the central station. Preferably, the step of retrieving the data is performed in response to receiving a request for a given title. The various systems disclosed allow a wide assortment of titles (e.g., movies, educational-, entertainment-, consumer-, and business-related information, and any information that can be converted into a stream of data) to be transmitted to a wide audience with great flexibility and minimal contention between users for the titles offered.

Title: Improved current limiting fuse and dropout fuseholder
Inventor: HASSLER STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: H01H85/50
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: A current-limiting dropout fuseholder includes multiple current paths through the fuse body. A primary current path includes a high current fusible element. A secondary current path in parallel with the primary path includes a triggering conductor that extends outside the fuse body and is connected so a moveable support. The second current path further includes a first spark gap for severing the triggering conductor upon the occurrence of a fault and the shifting of the fault current from the primary current path to the second current path. A second spark gap formed between the primary and the second current paths ensures that the fault current flows across the first spark gap for a time sufficient to sever the triggering conductor, thereby ensuring that dropout will occur. <IMAGE>

Title: Truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator
Inventor: CURTIS ROBERT G
IPC: H04B3/06
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator that provides a best estimate of a transmitted symbol sequence includes a lookup table and a comparator. The lookup table may be responsive to at least a next sample of a received RF signal, a first decision made on a first previous sample of the RF received signal and a second decision made on the second previous sample of the RF received signal. The lookup table provides at an output at least one threshold value stored in the lookup table that is addressed by the next sample of the received signal, the first decision made on the first previous sample and the second decision made on the second previous sample. The comparator is coupled to the output of a lookup table and is responsive to the at least one threshold value and a current sample of the received RF signal. The comparator compares the current sample of the received RF signal with at least one threshold value and provides a best estimate of the transmitted symbol sequence. The truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator can be used for example to determine a best estimate of a transmitted symbol sequence of a current sample of 4-ary frequency shift keyed signal or a 2-ary frequency shift keyed received signal. In addition, the truncated maximum likelihood estimator can be used within a wireless radio that transmits and receives an RF waveform including a modulated symbol stream to provide the best estimate of the received modulated symbol stream. Further, the truncated maximum likelihood estimator can be used within a wireless local area network that includes at least one computer interfaced to a wireless radio containing the truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator to provide wireless communications between either computers or between a computer and a computer network.
