Abstract: A bi-level control system includes a plurality of slave units, each for connection to a respective ballast and HID lamp of a plurality of HID lighting fixtures, and a common control unit. Each slave unit includes a switched capacitor and a slave relay which has one input connectable to a common line of a AC power supply branch circuit powering the fixtures and another input adapted for receiving a line voltage signal. The control unit includes an output connected to the control inputs of each of the slave units by a single control line and switchably connected to line voltage. Dimming of the HID lamp is accomplished by switching line voltage to the output of the control unit which causes the slave relay to switch the slave capacitor into circuit with the HID lamp and ballast. Use of a single control line connecting each of the slave units to the control unit greatly reduces wiring over known systems. The control unit is also adapted to receive a control input from a sensor via a single input line, further reducing wiring.

IPC: H04B17/17
Filed: 1995-07-03
Abstract: A radio apparatus according to a TDMA/TDD system uses its own transmitter (2) and receiver (3) so as to perform a loopback test for checking normality of the apparatus (1A) during a period of an unassigned slot. A loopback test signal is output from its own transmitter (2) during an unassigned transmitting slot and is received by its own receiver (3). The signal is temporarily stored in a memory (14) and is read during an unassigned receiving slot. The apparatus (1A) thus performs a loopback test. Since a loopback test can be performed by use of its own transmitter (2) and receiver (3) during an unassigned slot, a transmitting and receiving device (tester) specifically used for a loopback test is not required. Also, a loopback test can be carried out even while normal communications are being made.

Inventor: KELLY JOSEPH P
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 1995-05-30
Abstract: A method of secure data transmission commences at a sending or originating terminal by processing a sender challenge on an originating subscriber card with a secret originating subscriber coding key to obtain an originating subscriber response. The response is used at the originating terminal to encrypt the message to be securely transmitted. The thus-encrypted message is transmitted, together with the sender challenge in its original form, to a system server. The server retrieves the originating subscriber coding key from a repository to which it has access, and uses the key to generate a response that is identical to that produced by the originating subscriber. It then employs the so-obtained response to decrypt the originator's encrypted message, determines the intended recipient, and retrieves from the repository the coding key assigned to such recipient. The server then issues a new challenge and repeats the above processing and encryption steps using the recipient's subscriber's coding key, thereby re-encoding the message and sending the thus re-encrypted message and the unencrypted new challenge to the receiving station where the same process is employed on the recipient subscriber card to obtain, from the unencrypted new challenge and the recipient subscriber code key stored on the recipient subscriber card, the receiving subscriber response to be used in decryption of the received, server re-encrypted message.

Abstract: In a data synchronizer a timing error estimator (16) samples a received stream of digitized data symbols at the beginning, end, and a mid-point of a symbol period. These samples are used with a model that assumes that a data stream waveform should transition along a straight line between its values at optimum sampling instances, separated by the symbol period. Differences between a mid-symbol sample estimated using this straight line model and the actual mid-symbol sample are assumed to be due to a timing error. The timing error estimator (16) performs computations (90-96) on complex inputs and therefore is compatible with a wide variety of modulation types.

Abstract: Provided is a novel method and system for harmonic detection spectroscopy. The method comprises providing a cell having a sample region which is circumscribed by at least one wall. The cell has at least one light entry/exit port, with each entry/exit port containing a light transmissive window having a surface facing the sample region and disposed so as to seal the cell in the circumferential direction. A sample gas flows through the sample region in a direction parallel to a cell central axis, and the cell operates at less than atmospheric pressure. A frequency and/or amplitude modulated light source is provided for directing a light beam through one of the at least one light transmissive windows into the cell. The light source modulation amplitude is set to a value which approximately maximizes the value of a harmonic signal at the center of the absorption feature due to the detected gas phase molecular species inside the sample region, and the center frequency of the light source is adjusted so that it is either locked to the center of the absorption feature or repetitively scanned over the frequency range which includes the feature. A spectra is then generated which may be recorded individually or averaged. A detector is provided for measuring the light beam exiting the cell through one of the at least one light transmissive windows. The light source and detector are contained within a chamber which is external to the cell and isolated from the sample region, the chamber and the sample region being placed in optical communication with each other through at least one of the at least one light transmissive windows. The pressure inside the chamber is controlled to a value which is positive relative to atmospheric pressure. The method can be used to detect gas phase molecular species in a sample. Particular applicability is found in semiconductor processing.
