Abstract: Techniques for transmitting voice/data and packet data services such that packet data transmissions have less impact on voice/data transmissions. In one aspect, voice/data and packet data can be multiplexed within a transmission interval such that the available resources are efficiently utilized. In another aspect, the amount of variation in the total tansmit power from a base station is controlled to reduce degradation to transmissions from this and other base stations. In a specific method for concurrently transmitting a number of types of data, a first data type (e.g., voice, overhead, and some data) and a second data type are respectively processed in accordance with first and second signal processing schemes to generate first and second payloads, respectively. First and second partitions are then defined in a transmission interval.; The first and second payloads are time multiplexed into the first and second partitions, respectively, and the multiplexed payloads are transmitted.

Abstract: To degas a fiber suspension (2), the pressure (pB) developed in the vessel (3) by the vacuum unit (4) is measured by at least one pressure transmitter (20.1). The dominant pressure (pA1) in the take-off channel (6.1) is measured by a further pressure transmitter (20.2). The actual level (22.1) is computed by a control (21) from the difference between the two pressure measurements, to be brought to the nominal level (22.2) by adjusting the feed pump (5) speed.  To degas a fiber suspension, a further pressure transmitter (20.3) registers the dominant pressure (pA2) in the take-off channel, after the second transmitter in the flow direction (S), where the fiber suspension (2.2) is generally free of gas. The geodesic difference (UG) from the second transmitter is used by the control to set a density correction (DK) at the actual level in the vessel by the action of the vacuum unit, altering the speed of the feed pump and/or the stock inlet pump. Surplus fiber suspension at the vessel is taken by an overflow (18) for recirculation. An Independent claim is included for an assembly to degas a fiber suspension, with a vacuum unit connected to the suspension vessel, and pressure transmitters to measure the pressures. A control corrects the vessel level according to the measurements. Preferred Features: The vacuum unit has a vacuum pump (4.2) with a drive motor (23) operating at a controlled speed, and preferably an electromotor. A similar motor drives the feed pump and the stock inlet pump. A dividing wall (18.1) is at the overflow in the suspension vessel, to separate surplus suspension, to flow through an overflow channel (19) into the recirculating circuit.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant d'optimiser la qualité de l'imagerie électrophotographique d'après les propriétés du support d'impression. Afin de déterminer les propriétés du support d'impression sans interrompre le processus de transfert d'image normal, l'invention utilise des rouleaux (36) faisant partie d'un capteur. Lorsque le support d'impression vient entre les rouleaux (36), ceux-ci et le support d'impression forment un circuit RC qui reçoit une impulsion, après quoi un échantillonnage est produit périodiquement. Les échantillons peuvent être obtenus par logarithmes temporels. D'après la réponse obtenue, un contrôleur (30) calcule la résistance (Rm) et la capacitance (Cm) du support d'impression et règle les paramètres d'imagerie, notamment une tension de polarisation de transfert, en vue d'un transfert optimal d'une image. Le processus d'optimisation complet a lieu entre le moment où le support d'impression traverse les rouleaux (36) et le moment où le transfert d'image est exécuté.

Abstract: Power supply connections to an integrated circuit are tested. The power supply connections are connected to a power supply conductor in the integrated circuit. For the test, combinations of current drawing circuits are switched on near the point where the power supply connection under test is connected to the power supply conductor. The current drawing circuits draw a considerable current, so as to cause a detectable voltage drop over the power supply connection, if this connection is operational. Different subsets of the current drawing circuits are activated successively. To prevent that all of the current drawing circuits are switched on at the same time by error, activation of each subset is controlled by a signal indicative of completion, of activation of the preceding subset. A respective signal line is provided for each subset, to provide the signal for the subset.

This means that cross force-free torques are introduced into the individual guide plates, so that the guide plates in every arbitrary pivot position on a circular arc, since the applied torque is equally distributed over the entire length of the guide plates.  Each guide plate at its end opposed to the delivery direction has a reinforcement (10), which at one end is both firmly connected with the upper cover (11) of the discharge channel and with its base. The distance (X) between the joint point (16,17) of a link unit to the upper cover (11) and the fixture area (10) of the corresponding guide plate in the discharge channel corresponds approximately to a third of the total length (L) of a guide plate.
