Patent EP-1116961-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VALVE PAEIVI
IPC: G10K11/34
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: A method and system for tracking human speakers
using a plurality of acoustic sensors arranged in an
array to detect the voice of the speakers within an
angular range in order to determine a most favorable
direction for detecting the voice in a detection period.
A beamformer is used to form a plurality of beams each
covering a different direction within the angular range
and generate a signal responsive to the voice of the
speakers for each beam. A comparator is used to
periodically compare the power level of the signal of
different beams in order to determine the most favorable
detection direction according to the movement of the
human speakers. A voice activity detection device is
used to indicate to the comparator when the voice of the
speakers is detected so that the comparator determines
the most favorable detection direction based on the voice
of the speakers and not the noise when the speakers are
silent during the detection period.

Title: Normally rising variable force solenoid valve
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID L
IPC: F16K31/06
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for a variable force solenoid for
controlling the flow of a fluid in a housing (12) having a bore (14c) for receiving the fluid
flow, at least one port (16a,16b) for exhausting the fluid flow, and a seat (14f) extending
between the port and the bore. The solenoid includes a valve member (20) disposed
in the housing. In a closed position, the valve member is engaged with the seat,
preventing fluid flow from the bore to the port. In an open position, the valve
member is not engaged with the seat, allowing fluid flow from the bore to the
port. A subassembly is disposed in the housing and surrounds a portion of the
valve member for moving the valve member to its closed position. The
subassembly has a movable armature for engaging the valve member, an
annular member for attracting the armature, and a gap defined between the
armature and the annular member. The gap is maintained by engagement of the
armature by the valve member. A coil (25) is disposed in the housing radially
outward from the subassembly. Reception of electric current by the coil
produces magnetic flux, thereby attracting the armature to the annular member,
and thus moving the valve member to the closed position.

Abstract: An IPv6 mobile packet communication network (12) in which
mobile VPN service can be provided without having to use a
mobile tunnel. A control signal for enabling packet data
transmission and reception is sent from a mobile terminal (7)
to a gateway node (3). Using destination-of-connection
information contained in the control signal, the gateway node
checks whether mobile VPN service is requested or not. Upon
detection of a mobile VPN service request, the gateway node
returns IP address information of the gateway node to the
mobile terminal via a subscriber node. The mobile terminal
then assembles an IPv6 header (210) and an IPv6 routing
header (220) so that packet data will be unexceptionally
transferred through the gateway node.

Abstract: An ionizer creates a corona current distribution having a balanced flow of positive and negative ions in a variable ion mobility gaseous environment. The balanced flow of positive and negative ions are directed toward a workspace or target located in the gaseous environment and downstream from the ionizer. The ionizer includes a corona electrode, a counterelectrode, a corona-free dc bias electrode, and a control circuit. The corona electrode has a negative polarity. The counterelectrode has an ion collecting surface. The corona-free dc bias electrode has a positive polarity. The control circuit controls the output of the corona-free electrode so as to cause a balanced flow of positive and negative ions to be emitted from the ionizer and directed towards the workspace or target. In this manner, a static-free environment is created at the workspace or target. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital reorder system and method is disclosed for making reprints from a negative strip.
The strip advances toward a digital scanner which reads the bar code adjacent each frame to
determine frame number and other parameters, and an image associated with each frame is
scanned by a digital camera. Computer software manipulates the bar code information and
the scanned image to place the image in a proper orientation. Consequently, the operator
need not spend time orienting the negative strips prior to insertion into the feeder. The reorder
system can include a multiple strip feeder which receives a stack of negative strips and
automatically feeds the strips one-by-one into the reorder system.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing a voice channel in voice over Internet protocol includes an integrated access device (IAD) that receives voice data from user devices, removes RTP/UDP header and IP header information, and generates an AAL2 CPS cell. A Registration, Administration and Status (RAS) server receives the AAL2 CPS cell, removes the AAL2 information and adds an RTP/UDP header and IP header, such that an IP packet is output for Internet transport. The RAS server can also receive an IP packet and convert the IP packet to an AAL2 CPS cell, to be transported to the IAD. The RAS performs the conversion in accordance with header data received from the IAD that is stored in, and removed from, a lookup table in response to command signals sent by the IAD. Thus, the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) handles an increased number of calls, and at an increased efficiency.
