Patent EP-0899897-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RUEMMER WOLFGANG
IPC: H04J1/06
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: A subscriber station is notified of detected frequency drift between the transmitting carrier of the subscriber station and the reception carrier of the base station, so that the transmitting carrier frequency of the subscriber station is adjusted in such way, that the frequency drift becomes minimal. The method involves adjusting a transmitting carrier frequency of a subscriber station comprising a modem, in point to multi-point radio transmission system with a base station which is equipped with as many modems, as a maximum number of subscriber stations which can get in radio contact with it. All reception- and transmitting carrier frequencies of the base station are derived from a common reference frequency. Each transmitting carriers sent out by a subscriber station is compared with the corresponding reception carrier frequency in the base station. A determined frequency drift between the transmitting carrier of the subscriber station and the reception carrier of the base station is notified to the subscriber station, and the transmitting carrier frequency of the subscriber station is adjusted in such way, that the frequency drift becomes minimal.

Abstract: A system for detecting and measuring registration errors and chromatic
aberration in color images derived from a color video camera includes an edge locator
which finds edges in respective zones of the color images and stores sets of samples
representing picture elements of each of at least two component color signals. A
microprocessor processes the stored sample sets to identify a coarse displacement
between corresponding samples of the two component color signals. The
microprocessor then determines a fine displacement between the two color signals.
The coarse displacement may be determined by performing a cross correlation on the
two sample sets or by calculating respective sums of absolute difference between the
two sample sets for different displacements between corresponding samples of the two
samples sets. The fine displacement may be determined by interpolating samples
interstitial to the samples of the first sample set surrounding the sample which is
closest to the identified edge and interpolated samples interstitial to the samples of the
second samples set which are displaced from the first set of samples by the coarse
displacement and then performing a cross correlation on the resulting original and
interstitial samples. The fine displacement may also be determined by fitting a
parabolic curve to either the cross correlation values of the original sample values or
to the calculated sum of absolute difference values for the two sample sets. The fine
displacement, is added to or subtracted from the coarse displacement to obtain a
measure of the registration error and/or chromatic aberration in the images to sub-pixel
resolution.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for storing and
transporting toluenediamine, particularly for long term storage or storage in
large containers, e.g., shipboard containers. The improvement in the process
resides in substantially reducing the melting or freezing point of anhydrous
toluenediamine obtained by the fractional distillation of a reaction product
generated by the hydrogenation of dinitrotoluene. Such melting point
reduction is accomplished by adding water in an amount of from 5 to 15% by
weight of the toluenediamine and mixing therein for storage and transport.
Preferably the level of water introduced to the anhydrous toluenediamine is
from about 7 to 10% by weight.

Abstract: The rolling unit incorporates working rolls and multicomponent support rolls consisting of a rotatable main roll body (1) carrying rolling bearings (9) whose outer races support a rotatable sleeve (10). The outer surface of this sleeve form the rolling surface of the support roll. The main roll body is divided into cylindrical sections (3-6) whose width approximately corresponds to the width of the rolling bearings. The axes of these cylindrical sections are offset relative to attain a required eccentricity. The inner surface of the sleeve (10) fully contacts the outer surfaces of the outer races of the bearings (9). The eccentricity of the sleeve in comparison with the eccentricity of the sections (3-6) is reduced as a result of the opposing bending effect produced by the sleeve.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mobile station locating method for locating
a mobile station based on a mobile communications system. Radio zones of
base stations (21, 22, 23) are dissected into a plurality of search areas (grid
sections). A positional relationship between base stations and a concerned
search area is defined by mutual time differences in the radio wave propagation
between them. The base stations (21, 22, 23) transmit their characteristic
signals (d1, d2, d3), respectively. Time differences (t12, t23, t13; T12, T23,
T13) in the propagation of the characteristic signals are caused between
transmission of the characteristic signals at respective base stations and
reception at a mobile station (31). Mutual differences in their propagation
times are used to identity a search area where the mobile station is present.
Thus, the position of the mobile station can be identified by an area not by a
point.

Abstract: Between a magnet (11) on the side of an upper drum (2) and a magnet
or electromagnet (12) on the side of a lower drum (3), a force of attraction is
exerted. With this force of attraction, pre-load of about 2 Kg is applied to a
ball bearing (5) in a direction of an axis, to increase stability of rotation of the
upper drum (2). Since the upper drum (2) is borne by the axis (4) with one
bearing (5), a center of rotation of the upper drum (2) relative to the axis (4)
can be changed by changing a balance among forces of attraction of three
magnets or electromagnets (12). With this constitution, a precision rotator
which allows correction of the center of rotation can be provided.

Abstract: A direct electrostatic printing method performed in
consecutive print cycles in which control signal pulses are
applied on the one hand between a toner particle source and
a back electrode and, on the other hand, between the toner
particle source and electrodes on a printhead structure
interposed between the toner particle source and the back
electrode. The pulses are so controlled as to be in
accordance with an image configuration to generate a
pattern of electrostatic fields which selectively permit or
restrict the transport of charged toner particles from the
particle source toward the back electrode via the printhead
structure. Each pulse signal is either itself frequency
pulse modulated or supplemented by an overlaid frequency
pulse modulated signal to produce intermittent electric
forces which, in a first time phase, attract and transport
charged toner particles from the particle source to the
printhead structure and, in a second time phase, accelerate
the particles towards the back electrode and away from the
printhead structure in a convergent, focusing electric
field.

Abstract: An optical fiber flexfoil (1) comprises optical fibers adhesively bonded between two flexible foils (3, 7) laminated to each other. A surface of a base flexible plastic sheet (3) is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive (5) and optical fibers are bonded to the sheet by the adhesive (5). A top foil (7) having a similar coating (9) is placed on top of the base foil (3) contacting the optical fibers, air located between the foils is removed and the foils are pressed against each other using a rubber bag formed of two superposed rubber sheets (11, 13) to bond the foils to each other only by means of the adhesive coatings (5, 9). The adhesive is selected to have a low glass transition temperature such as below -50 °C and to exhibit visco-elastic characteristics in the temperature range within which the flexfoil is to be used. The lamination of the foils is made at temperatures at the upper limit of the operational range using only moderate pressures. This gives low mechanical stresses on the fibers in the pressing operation. The fibers are not entirely rigidly fixed to the foils allowing them to move a little when bending the flexfoil, so that rather sharp bends of the flexfoil (1) can be made. Also, microbends formed in the lamination process can relax and thus be eliminated what produces a low attenuation in the optical fibers.
