Patent EP-1376963-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ISHII HIROYUKI
IPC: H04W76/04
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: A receiver of a mobile station or a base station in
radio communications is formed by a correlation unit for
generating a delay profile for specifying paths by taking
correlations by using replica signals for a received pilot
signal, and a path selection unit for comparing a power
level of each path in the delay profile with a threshold
determined according to an index value regarding a
communication state, selecting paths for which a comparison
result satisfies a prescribed condition as valid paths, and
outputting a selected delay profile formed by the valid
paths as a channel estimation value.

IPC: H02S10/00

Abstract: In a power generation system of this invention, the
outputs from power generation layers (11, 12) electrically
connected in series are input to corresponding power
conversion devices (31, 32), and boosted outputs are
connected in parallel and fed to a load (51).
Alternatively, the output from one of power generation
layers electrically connected in series is input to a first
power conversion device (31), and the serial output and the
boosted output from the first power conversion device are
connected in parallel, input to a second power conversion
device (32), boosted, and fed to the load (51). Since the
two power generation layers (11, 12) can be individually
output-controlled, each power generation layer can be
optimized basically without considering current balance.
Since the optical spectrum utilization efficiency
increases, the power generation efficiency increases. In
addition, since the power can be fed not to separate loads
but to one load, the convenience largely increases.

Abstract: In a wireless location system, narrowband receivers are used in a mode, known as automatic synchronous or sequential tuning, in which the receivers are tuned sequentially and in unison to a plurality of predefined RF channels. Signal transmissions of interest in these channels are digitally recorded and used in location processing. A location record or report is generated to identify an estimated location of one or more wireless transmitters. The identity of the located transmitter(s) is determined by matching the location record to data indicating which wireless transmitters were in use at a time corresponding to the location record, and which cell sites and RF channels were used by each wireless transmitter. This method is especially suited for voice or traffic channel tracking of wireless mobile transmitters, such as cellular telephones.

Abstract: Signal processing is enhanced using a filtering arrangement that re-uses data in a register array for filtering consecutive pixel blocks. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, consecutive blocks of pixel data corresponding to an image and sharing an edge therebetween is filtered. The consecutive blocks of pixel data are read and loaded (110) into first and second halves of a register array, and pixel data in registers on opposite sides of the edge is filtered (120) and returned to the register array. After filtering, data in the first half of the register array is unloaded and written back (130) to the memory. Data in the second half of the register array is then shifted (140) to the first half of the register array and additional pixel data is read and loaded (150) into the second half of the register array.

Title: Method and device for adjusting to a minimum value the toner supply to a developing station of an electrographic printing unit or copying unit
Inventor: KNOTT JOSEPH
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 2003-10-07
Abstract: The invention relates to electrographic printing units in which charge images of pictures that are to be printed are created upon an intermediate support and are inked with toner in a developing station. The supply of new toner into the developing station is controlled via a toner mark that is applied to the intermediate support. In order to prevent the support and toner from blending too long without new toner being added, a scenario that results in a deterioration of the printed image, the toner-conveying cycles are counted per unit of time. Should the number of toner-conveying cycles drop below a given value, a control mark that is greater than the toner mark is charged onto the intermediate support and inked in accordance with the measured toner concentration until the number of conveying cycles per unit of time once again exceeds said minimum value.
