Title: Improvements relating to variable speed control devices
Inventor: LEWIS-BOYLE DAVID
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: Individual sets of data control points are illustrated on a typical torque profile of a brushless DC motor showing how the torque capability decreases with increase of speed of the motor. Each set effectively corresponds to a particular simulated gear setting for gear changes when driving a vehicle powered by such an electric motor. The envelope defined by the data control points for four "gear settings" are indicated by the reference numerals (I, II, III, IIII). The control equipment for driving the motor can then only operate within the particular set which is selected (by suitable programming of an electronic control unit). When the user senses that he has reached maximum speed under a particular set he can change to a new set and thus effectively move up a gear. The reverse will of course apply if there is a desire to decelerate. As the driver arranges to increase the speed of the car to a maximum he will move up through each of the four gears unitl the maximum available speed from the motor is achieved.

Abstract: A system integrated to each of the tires amounted to a vehicle allows each of the tires to communicate with a mobile communicator, such as for example a mobile phone.      The system includes at least sensors for monitoring and measuring the pressure and temperature of the tire. The measured parameters of the tire are fed to a processor that compensates the measured pressure with the measured temperature. The temperature corrected tire pressure is then stored in a memory store. A communications module, operating under a wireless data link protocol such as for example the Bluetooth protocol, sends the stored information to a mobile phone, in response to a request thereby. The temperature corrected data of the tire is also transmitted to the other tires of the vehicle. Any one of the tires may act as the server of all of the other tires for transmitting the information of the respective tires of the vehicle to the mobile phone, which acts as the browser, Alternatively, the mobile phone could request that information of the various tires be sent to it individually by the respective tires. In place of Bluetooth signals being transmitted from the tires, the tires may be equipped with radio frequency (RF) transceiver modules that transmit RF signals to a converter system, which converts the RF signals into Bluetooth signals, which arc then broadcast to telecommunication devices adpatable to receive Bluetooth signals,

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système de télévision à la demande (100) qui comprend un codeur de télédiffusion (250) et un codeur de mémorisation (252). Le codeur de télédiffusion code une séquence de trames vidéo en temps réel, afin de former un train de bits de télédiffusion et il diffuse ce train de bits de télédiffusion à destination de plusieurs appareils d'abonnés (106) pendant que simultanément le codeur de mémorisation code la séquence de trames vidéo en temps réel, afin de former un train de bits de mémorisation qui est mémorisé dans un serveur d'informations (108). L'appareil d'abonné décode (510) le train de bits de télédiffusion pour afficher le programme de télédiffusion. A n'importe quel moment, l'appareil d'abonné peut demander (524) à revoir les informations préalablement affichées dans le train de bits de télédiffusion. Le train de bits de mémorisation est alors transmis (526) en tant que tel à l'appareil d'abonné. Le train de bits de mémorisation facilite la lecture standard des informations préalablement télédiffusées ainsi qu'une lecture en mode non naturel, telle que les fonctions d'avance rapide et de retour rapide.

Title: A method for paperless attachment of supplementary forms to a world wide web application
Inventor: WOLFSTON JAMES H
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: An electronic copy of a paper document, such as high school transcript, can be attached to an electronic document, such as an application for admission to an institution. The high school providing the paper document is required to have only a simple fax machine. When a student requests that a transcript accompany an electronic application, a request for the transcript is automatically generated by the applicaiton servicer and transmitted to the hight school. The request includes a return facsimile cover sheet that includes an identifier that can be automatically machine-interpreted when the cover sheet is transmitted back to the servicer with the transcipt. The identifier mark-ing is sufficiently robust that it will be machine interpretable, even after rough treatment or serial copying and transmission by the high school. Upon receipt of the transcript facsimile, the servicer automatically interprets the identifying information on the return facsimile cover sheet to identify the student and the particular admissions application for which the transcript was requested. The transcript is forwarded preferably along with application to the appropriate institution after being converted, if necessary, to a data format specified by the institution. The servicer may also store the transcript in electronic form in a secure database for subsequent transmission for a different term or to different institution. Each facsimile cover sheet is preferably "branded" with the logo of the institution to which the student is applying, although the return facsimile number is preferably a toll free number to a computer facsimile server of the servicer. Thus, the servicer can be invisible to the high school.

Title: System for diversity receiver for mitigating the effects of fiber dispersion by separate detection of two transmitted sidebands
Inventor: WOODWARD SHERYL L
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: Link robustness, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) immunity can be improved in fiber optical system by using a method for receiving an optical double sideband signal over an optical fiber system, comprising the steps of splitting the received optical double sideband signal into an upper sideband signal and a lower sideband signal, photodetecting the upper sideband and the lower sideband, equalizing the photodetected upper sideband signal and the lower sideband signal, and combining the equalized upper sideband signal with the equalized lower sideband signal.  While PMD compensation is envisioned as a major application, one may also use the method and system for chromatic dispersion compesation or dispersion slope compensation in high bit rate systems, i.e. using dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) for coarse compensation and diversity receiver with electrical equalizer for fine tuning.

Title: Simulator cart
Inventor: ROMERO STEPHEN
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: A test system (10) is coupled to a control system (20) in a manner which allows the test system to communicate with and drive the control system by sending and receiving signals via both the controller-I/O  communication channel (160) and the field I/O connectors (225).  The test system (10) is used to both simulate a plant to be controlled and to monitor, validate, and/or modify the internal state of the control system controller and possibly the control system I/O interface (220). Plant simulation is accomplished by simulating the I/O devices to which the control system (20) is coupled (and hence the plant processes) when installed in the operational environment. In addition to the simulation of I/O devices, the test system (10) takes advantage of the fact that many commonly used controller and I/O interfaces are capable of communication with other devices by using such communications ability to provide instructions to or obtain information from a control system's controller(s) and I/O interface(s).
