Filed: 1997-12-08
Abstract: Es sind Funknetze mit mehreren Funkfeststationen bekannt, die mehrere
Funkfrequenzen benutzen und die jeweils zum Senden von Funksignalen an
Mobilstationen mindestens eine der Funkfrequenzen belegen. Die
bekannten Funksignale werden in dem sogenannten ATM-Modus
übertragen, d.h. mittels Datenpaketen, die in frei wählbaren Zeitlagen
aufeinanderfolgen. 
     Um in die mehreren Funkfrequenzen effizient benutzten zu können, wird
vorgeschlagen, daß jede Funkfeststationen (BS1) beim Senden ihrer
Funksignale (RS) zwischen mindestens zwei der Funkfrequenzen (f1, f7)
wechselt und eine jede Funkfrequenz (f1, f7) nur für eine vorgebbare
Zeitspanne (T) belegt, die zumindest der Länge (L2) eines der zu sendenden
Datenpakete (P2) entspricht, und dann über den Wechsel zwischen den
Funkfrequenzen entscheidet. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß jede Funkfrequenz
(f1) möglichst nach Ablauf der vorgegebenen Zeitspanne (T) wieder frei
gegeben wird und daß jedoch die Funkfrequenz (f1) nicht gewechselt wird,
solange ein Datenpaket noch übertragen wird.

Abstract: A molded case circuit breaker (1) has a moving conductor assembly (21) which
includes a modular carrier assembly (33) incorporating a plurality of spring biased contact
cam members (71) each of which engages contact pressure lobes (129) on a pair of
contact arm laminations (27m, 27a) to provide contact pressure. In response to the
magnetic repulsion forces generated by a short circuit, the springs (73) compress allowing
the cam members (71) to pivot and side step the contact pressure lobes (129) so that the
contact arm (27) blows-open with little resistance. The cam members (71) and springs
(73) are preassembled in a transverse channel (45) in the carrier body (43) and laterally
retained in place by side plates (47) for easier pivotal attachment of the contact arm
laminations (27m, 27a) to the lobes (57) on the side plates (47). The side plate lobes (57)
raise the contact arm (27) relative to the mass of the carrier (33) to reduce eddy current
heating and provide a positive off indication for welded contacts by restricting movement
of lower toggle links (67) of the operating mechanism (37) which are coplanar with the
side plates (47). A modular crossbar (35) includes molded bearings (79) engaged by or
made integral with hexagonal metal shaft (75, 141) sections which extend into hex
openings (77) in the carrier bodies (43) of adjacent poles.

Abstract: A standardized test for measuring the stringiness of room
temperature vulcanizable silicone sealant compositions is disclosed wherein a
tube of sealant is held at a constant angle to the surface upon which the
sealant is being applied. The surface is movable and once a small bead of
sealant has been deposited upon the surface the surface is moved at a
constant rate of speed until the sealant bead breaks off from the source. The
length of any string of sealant formed thereby is measured. This
measurement for a given composition is compared to the measurement for
other compositions and thereby allows optimization of sealant compositions
to minimize an undesirable feature.

Abstract: In a time domain video compression and
decompression system, difference frames obtained by
subtracting pairs of consecutive frames in a time
sequence of video frames are quantized to reduce the
number of bits for coding the signals.
Offsets are added or subtracted from the signals in the
difference frames for reducing truncation errors as a
result of quantization. The dynamic range of the
difference signals is reduced by clamping the maximum
amplitudes of the difference signals to below certain
predetermined values. Incomplete frames as well as
complete frames are transmitted from the encoder to the
decoder and the decoder ascertains the degree of
completeness of the frames and decides whether to
display or discard the incomplete frames based on how
complete they are.

Abstract: A circuit for causing a voltage step in a battery of a
plurality of serially-connected cells is provided. The circuit
causes one or more of the cells to discharge through a resistor
at a higher rate than the other cells, thus producing a voltage
step when the faster discharging cell dies before the other
cells. A reverse-biased diode is connected in parallel to the
faster discharging cell to cause the current to bypass the
faster discharging cell after it has died, thus preventing it
from reverse charging. This circuit may be controlled to
adjust the higher rate of discharge, and thus the time of
occurrence of the voltage step.

Abstract: A voice processing system 30 is connected to a switch 20 via
multiple telephone lines 25, and provides a set of line objects 335, each
line object being associated with one of the physical telephone lines.
The line object allows a demarcation to be made between the underlying
voice processing system software 335, and external business applications
310. Thus a line object supports a set of methods such as Get DTMF Tone,
Play Audio, Answer call, and End call, to allow the external business
applications 310 to perform desired operations on a telephone line. These
methods are invoked via a set of corresponding IVR action objects 320,
which in turn are integrated into the business application. The business
application itself, and its IVR actions, regard the line objects
effectively as servers to provide IVR functionality. The business
application may therefore run partially or completely on a separate
physical machine from the IVR system itself.

Abstract: A network element with a centralized switch fabric is able to support multiple
switching functions while meeting established performance requirements by using a
control system based on an embedded signal status protocol. Generally, each input
signal within a transmission path is monitored to derive signal status information,
which is then individually encoded and embedded within the input signal. The
embedded signal status can be decoded and provided as input to control logic for
processing at any point within the transmission path, as necessary. In the case of a
centralized switch fabric, the control logic resolves an address of a single input signal
based on the embedded signal status and provides this resolved address to the switch
fabric so that the appropriate input signal can be selected. In the present invention,
the control logic may be configured to support any given application, e.g., "path-in-line"
protection switching, whereby each configuration of control logic constitutes an
application control set that supports the performance requirements of that given
application.
