Patent EP-0901253-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKETSUGU MASANORI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: A transmission control method is provided which can
improve a decrease in throughput when collision occurs
during the use of a collision-based access system. In
response to forward link message DA11(I,0) from a radio
base station 10, a terminal 11 transmits a packet signal
D11(0) while a terminal 12 transmits a packet signal
D12(0). When the packet signals collide head-on, the radio
base station 10 does not receive them but transmits
forward link message D12(I,0). When the terminals 11 and
12 receive the forward link message, they judge that the
packet signals transmitted by themselves have collided
head-on and then transfers to a back-off state in which
random time transmission is sustained. When forward link
message DA13(I,0) is received from the radio base station
10, the terminal 12 restored from the back-off state
retransmits the packet signal D12(0). Meanwhile, the
terminal 11 is changed to a back-off state when receiving
forward link message DA15(P,11) from the radio base
station 10. The terminal 11 does not originally transmit a
packet signal but retransmits the packet signal D11(0)
because transmission request from the radio base station.

Abstract: A picture size conversion method (and device) is provided to avoid
deterioration of picture display quality such as a blur and distortion,
especially with respect to motion pictures which are displayed in accordance
with an interlaced display method. Herein, a size conversion table (121)
storing display flags is created in accordance with a reduction ratio,
wherein each of the display flags represents a decision whether to allow
display with respect to each of horizontal lines. At first, the method
discriminates whether the reduction ratio (R) belongs to a first range
(0<R<1/2) or a second range (1/2≦R<1), while the method also
discriminates whether each of horizontal lines belongs to an even-numbered
field or an odd-numbered field within one frame. In the case of the first
range of the reduction ratio, the method thins out all of horizontal lines
belonging to the even-numbered field while selectively thinning out
horizontal lines belonging to the odd-numbered field with reference to the
size conversion table. In the case of the second range of the reduction ratio,
the method does not at all thin out the horizontal lines of the even-numbered
field while selectively thinning out the horizontal lines of the
odd-numbered field with reference to the size conversion table. Thus,
original pictures can be converted (or reduced) in sizes in different ways in
response to the first range and second range of the reduction ratio
respectively.

Abstract: The variables and parameters previously understood to affect the
gain spectrum of an optical amplifier 13 were: (1) the wavelengths to be
amplified; (2) the input power levels at those wavelengths; (3) the
characteristics of the amplifying medium 20; (4) the insertion loss spectra of
the amplifier's components, including any filter(s) used for gain flattening;
(5) the pump band chosen to pump the amplifying medium 20; and (6) the
total amount of pump power supplied in the chosen pump band. An
additional fundamental variable has been identified which can be used to
control the gain spectrum of an optical amplifier 13, namely, the center
wavelength of the spectrum of the pump's output power within the chosen
pump band. Methods and apparatus for using this variable for this purpose
are disclosed. 
     For example a, transmission system is disclosed having a transmitter
11 and a receiver 10 connected by an optical fiber 12. A plurality of optical
amplifiers 13 are located along the optical fiber 12 to amplify signal
channels between the transmitter and receiver. Each of the amplifiers has
a pump light source 21, the wavelength of which is such that contributions
to differential gain due to pump light wavelength related effects is
substantially reduced. 
     Also disclosed is a WDM transmission system having a transmission
path including a concatenation of laser diode pumped optical amplifiers 13
wherein the gain spectrum of an amplifier is controlled at least in part by a
feedback loop regulating the temperature of its laser diode pump 21. The
feedback loop may for instance derive its control signal from a measure of
the drive current applied to the pump, of the emission wavelength of the
pump, or of the disparity between the power output from the amplifier in
one of the multiplexed signal channels and that from at least one other of
the channels.

Abstract: There is provided a dual site pacing system, either
bi-ventricular or bi-atrial, wherein the pacemaker (30)
looks for a signal sense during the refractory period
following delivery of the pulse pair. If the threshold
of either heart chamber has risen above the level of the
delivered pulses, that chamber will not be captured, and
will not have an inherent refractory period following
delivery of the pulse pair. Under these circumstances,
and where the patient has conduction delay from one
chamber to the other, e.g., LBBB or RBBB, the excitation
signal from the other chamber will be sensed in the non-captured
chamber during the pacemaker refractory period.
Such a sensing during the pacemaker refractory period is
recognized to result from loss of capture, and is
utilized to automatically increase pulse output back up
to a safe level above threshold.
