Patent EP-0397402-A3 (EP)
Title: Moving image signal encoding- and decoding apparatus
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1990-05-03
Abstract: A moving image signal encoding apparatus 
comprises a frame decimating circuit for extracting 
encoded frames from an input moving image signal at 
specified intervals, a frame interpolating circuit for 
obtaining an interpolated frame between the encoded 
frames, and a circuit for obtaining an error formed by 
frame interpolation. A moving image signal decoding 
apparatus comprises a receiving circuit for extracting a 
frame code from an inputted signal, a frame decoding 
circuit for decoding the frame code to obtain a reproduced 
frame, and a frame interpolating circuit for obtaining an 
interpolated frame between the reproduced frames. By 
transmitting an error of the interpolated frame from the 
encoding apparatus to the decoding apparatus and 
correcting the error of the interpolated frame with the 
decoding apparatus, the error of the interpolated frame is 
eliminated. Alternatively, depending on the value of the 
error of the interpolated frame obtained with the encoding 
apparatus, circuit determines the operation mode as to 
whether the frame interpolating circuit of the decoder 
 
 
carries out frame interpolation or preceding value holding 
and sends a flag to show the operation mode to the 
decoder, so that improvement is given when the error of 
the interpolated frame is large.

IPC: A61M16/16
Filed: 1990-05-08
Abstract: A respiratory humidifier has an outer flexible, 
gas-tight bag 10 containing water 12 and an exothermic 
chemical heater 16. A sandwich of an open-celled foam 36 
and a vapour-permeable/water impermeable layer 30 is 
secured on the inside of the bag by compressing and 
welding the sandwich to the wall of the bag to form a 
labyrinth path for gas through the foam. Water vapour in 
the bag permeates the foam so that respiratory gas is 
humidified without contacting the water.

Title: Cordless telephone
IPC: H04M1/72
Filed: 1993-01-26
Abstract: 2.1 For power-saving purposes, it is normal in cordless telephones for the transmitter-locating device which is contained in the mobile station to be operated only during specific transmitter locating periods, interrupted by fixed pauses. 2.2 In order to avoid the associated disadvantage of the rigid response time to a call arriving in the fixed station, a setting device (EV) for manual setting of the pause period (TP) is provided in a first embodiment of the mobile station (MS) according to the invention. In a second embodiment of a mobile station (MS'), the pause period (TP) is modified in the mobile station (MS') according to the charging state of the battery (AK) which is contained in the mobile station, in such a way that the pause period (TP) becomes longer when the battery charge decreases and becomes shorter when the battery charge increases. A detection and control device (DS) which has either a voltage detector (SPD) or a current detector (STD) serves to determine the respective charging state. 3. The drawing shows a simplified block diagram of a mobile station. <IMAGE>

Title: Method, transmitter and receiver for the transmission of information with a variable traffic flow and a central station for the coordination of the different senders and receivers
Inventor: TURBAN KARL-ALBERT
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1993-03-23
Abstract: Technical problem: In data transmission or transmission of redundancy-reduced signals, traffic flow and therefore required transmission capacity are not constant. State of the art: More or less intensive temporal utilisation of existing total capacity through the use of differing numbers of time slots in multiplex mode (TDMA, ATM) or through non-utilisation of residual time. Basic principle: Coded transmission and simultaneous use of differing numbers of codes which are orthogonal in relation to one another. Solution: Mixed CDMA-TDMA radio system. The number of channels (code division multiplex CDMA) assigned to an individual station is adjusted frame by frame on the basis of requirements in preceding frames.

Title: Process and device for the disposal of discarded plastic packaging straps.
Inventor: EICHSTAEDT HANS-PETER
IPC: B26D1/00
Filed: 1994-03-05
Abstract: For the purpose of disposal, discarded plastic packaging straps are fed substantially in a radial direction to a cylindrical path of at least one rotating cutting knife and are cut into short pieces. They are severed obliquely over their broad side faces and fed to the cylindrical path of the cutting knife at a uniform rate. The packaging straps are cut up between a cutting edge of the cutting knife and a knife edge past which the cutting edge is moved at a small distance from it. The cutting edge and the knife edge are inclined with respect to each other. The packaging straps are drawn by motor into the path of the cutting knife. The drawing-in of the packaging straps is interrupted automatically if a foreign body is drawn in. Each packaging strap is inserted between two draw-in rollers, which can be pressed against each other and of which at least one is driven by motor. The drawing-in of the packaging straps is interrupted if a predetermined distance between the draw-in rollers is exceeded.

Filed: 1995-11-30
Abstract: A vehicle is equipped with an engine control ECU (1),
an anti-lock brake system control ECU (2), a transmission
control ECU (3) and a meter control ECU (4). Each ECU (1-4)
shares information with the others by communicating and by
performing mutual malfunction diagnosis operations through
communication; also, backup operations are performed. After
the deactuation of the ignition switch (8), malfunction
diagnosis operations are prohibited by prohibiting
communication between the engine control ECU (1) which is
supplied with electric power and the other ECUs (2-4) which
are not supplied with electric power. After the deactuation
of the ignition switch (8), when a predetermined time lapses
after the actuation of the ignition switch (8) from the state
wherein the ECU (1) is supplied with power, prohibition on
communication with ECUs (2-4) is released.
Patent EP-0682269-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MCELHINNEY GRAHAM
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: A method for locating underground
cylindrically symmetrical magnetic sources, particularly
boreholes, from magnetic field measurements. The method
is based on the shape of magnetic field produced by
magnetic materials with cylindrical axes. As the field
caused by the magnetic source always points away from or
towards its cylindrical axis, lines extended from
magnetic field vectors caused by the magnetic source
will always pass through the axis. Numerical techniques
are used to find the common line to all the extended
magnetic field vectors and thus calculate the axis of
the magnetic source.

Abstract: A control system and method for a vehicular semi-automatic mechanical transmission system (10) is provided for continuously informing the operator of available ratios and for permitting selection of a desired shift (GRT(2)), which will be immediately implemented, regardless of the previous selection or ongoing shift implementation, of engagement of a previously selected target ratio (GRT(2)). During a shift transient to engage a selected target ratio (GRT(1)), the display will show the maximum available upshifts and downshifts from the target ratio, and shift requests will be interpreted as requests for upshifts and downshifts from the initial target ratio (GRT(1)) into a new target ratio (GRT(2)). <MATH>   <MATH>

IPC: G11B19/20
Filed: 1996-02-16
Abstract: A system and method for optimizing power consumption by a disk 
drive unit. The system and method monitor and analyze 
historical use data and calculate a predicted inactivity 
duration. The predicted inactivity duration is used to 
power-down the rotational speed of the drive to the first of 
one or more intermediate rotational speeds. Continued 
inactivity will result in further speed reduction until the 
drive is ultimately powered off. The drive increases 
rotational speed on demand.

Inventor: CHILTON JOHN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1996-06-24
Abstract: A logic emulation system for emulating the operation
of a circuit. A uniform routing architecture is provided
where a first set of selectors (multiplexers) is coupled to a
set of shift registers that are in turn coupled to a second
set of selectors. The outputs of the second set of selectors
are coupled to the inputs of the logic processors. The
arrangement of first selectors coupled to shift registers
coupled to second selectors coupled to logic processors
ensures that uniform routing exists among all of the logic
processors in the emulation system. This, in turn, provides a
flat programming model so that compilation steps including
technology mapping and scheduling are independent of each
other, resulting in faster compile times.
