Patent EP-0965177-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER DAVID S
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: A new signal processing architecture for base stations and gateways (124, 126) used in spread spectrum communication systems (100) that simplifies data transfer, reduces required bus capacity, and does not require special synchronization of signals that are to be combined. A series of transmission modules (5081-508M) are used to transfer data to corresponding ones of a series of analog transmitters (4121-412M) used to form communication circuits for each system user. Each transmission module (5081-508M) employs a series of encoders (502MR) and modulators (504MS) to form spread communication signals, using appropriate PN spreading codes. Spread spectrum communication signals from each module (508) for each system user (D), are summed together (5101-510M) and transferred to a single analog transmitter (412) associated with that module. The signals being combined are automatically synchronized by common timing signals used for elements within each module. The number of processing elements within each module is such that at least one processing path is available for each user or user channel over which it is desired to transmit information through the connected analog transmitter (4121-412M). Data is output from the modules (5081-508M) at a greatly reduced transfer rate which can be more easily accommodated using current technology. This is very useful for satellite based communication systems, or high capacity cellular systems, and this system architecture can be accomplished cost effectively using a series of easily manufactured circuit modules.

Abstract: A sleeve-type gas spring (10) for a turret indexing press (18,20) has an annular piston (34)
operably associated with a punch tool (12) to reciprocate therewith and defining in part an
annular gas chamber (94) constructed to receive a gas under pressure. As the punch tool and
piston are driven to their extended position by a press ram (14) or some such other power
device, the volume of the gas chamber decreases thereby increasing the pressure within
the gas chamber such that when the ram is retracted, the pressure of the gas acting on the
piston displaces the piston and the punch tool to their retracted positions. The force
acting to retract the piston and the punch is dependent on the initial pressure of the gas
within the gas chamber and the change in volume of the gas chamber as the punch tool
and piston are extended. Thus, the retracting force of the sleeve-type gas spring can be
readily changed by varying the initial pressure of gas within the gas chamber to provide
a spring which is versatile and which may be used with a plurality of different presses or
in a plurality of different applications wherein varying retraction forces may be needed.
Further, the sleeve-type gas spring has a very long life in service and can be easily
recharged and any worn seals easily replaced to facilitate servicing the gas spring.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting document access within a
collection of linked documents. The present invention utilizes a predictive
technique known as "spreading activation" where document collections are
graphically represented as a network. Empirical data is analyzed according to a
law of surfing to generate a decay function which is used to dampen the
activation as spreads through the network. Activation is applied to a set of focus
documents and propagates through the network until a stable pattern of
activation is achieved across all documents. From this stable pattern, the
desired usage information is extracted. Such a system will provide several
practical benefits to users of the World Wide Web. For example, the present
invention can be used to identify relevant pages to a set of one or more focus
pages or to predict the number of times a document will be accessed in a
collection of linked documents. Further, alone or in combination, this information
can be used in connection with web site design or re-design.

Independent claims are made for: (1) an encapsulated acoustic converter(20) including the claimed plastic capsule(10); (2) a process for production of the encapsulated acoustic converter in which an acoustically transparent friction element(4a,4b) is placed in an injection mold in the region of the sound wave opening, plastic is injected to form the capsule holding the friction element and then an acoustic converter is located in the capsule. Preferred Features: The capsule may have two sound wave openings(3a,3b) at a right angle to each other. The friction element can be positively connected to the plastic capsule by either: a) a snap connection; b) by plastic penetrating pores, with the roughness of the one surface of the friction element surface leaving an opposing surface free or c) by plastic at the edges extending from one surface to the opposing surface. Alternatively the connection may be semi-positive.
