Patent EP-0535812-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ELMS ANDREW
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1992-09-10
Abstract: A method of receiving digitised data encoded to permit forward error correction, for example convolutionally encoded data transmitted in a burst-mode radio communications system such as GSM. Prior to transmission a set of first data elements (bits) relating to a first message which may be associated with a first channel type (e.g. a traffic channel (TCH) in GSM) has selected bits substituted or stolen by data elements (bits) relating to a second message which may be associated with a second channel type (e.g. a fast associated channel (FACCH) in GSM). At the receiver the second message is recovered by extracting the substitute data elements. In order to improve bit error rate performance the received data is then modified by replacing the substitute data elements with low-or zero-valued "soft decisions", i.e. further data elements comprising respective components indicative of the low level of confidence associated therewith relative to the original data element. The modified data is decoded using, for example a Viterbi decoder (4) sensitive to the soft decisions to estimate the most likely set of data elements comprising the first message.

Abstract: A method of operating an elevator system includes the steps of specifying and storing at least one profile describing at least one elevator operational characteristic, including an elevator security function specifying a landing or landings for which hall calls are not to be responded to and a landing or landings for which car calls are not to be responded to. The profile has a start time, an end time, and a day or days of the week specified therefor during which time the profile is to be activated. A next step repetitively determines a current time and a current day of the week and compares the current time and current day of the week to the specified start time, end time, and day or days of the week associated with the at least one stored profile. Responsive to an equality condition, the method includes a further step of transmitting information to a controller of at least one elevator car within a group of elevator cars. The transmitted information causes the at least one elevator car to begin operating in accordance with the specified profile, or to stop operating in accordance with the specified profile.

Abstract: Such a method is known for the fault-free normal operation of a false-twist texturing machine for monitoring the quality of the crimped threads produced. According to the invention, in the proposed method, the known method is also extended to exceptional operating situations. Particularly thread piecing and operating faults caused by a brief power failure are to be considered as such. According to the invention, the known method is modified in such a way that, in these operating phases, the existing regulation of the thread tension is cut out and an unregulated frictional force on the frictional-force actuator (7) of the friction fault twister (6) is predetermined. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for monitoring the operation of a plant, which includes the facility of simulating the corrosion potential of a material and which can assess the effect of a countermeasure for mitigating the corrosion environment of the material, with the corrosion potential obtained by the simulation. The corrosion potential of the structural material of the plant is computed through a numerical analysis by applying an electrochemical mixed-potential theorem on the basis of the analytical result of a charge transfer reaction. Programs for such potential computations are prestored in a computer system from which data are accepted into a host computer (40 in Fig. 7). The computed corrosion potential is related with water quality data (for example, the concentration of hydrogen injected into the plant), and the relationship is output to a display unit (42).

Abstract: There is provided a CDMA communication system in which the number of multiple user stations can be greatly increased under fast fading circumstances. In a transmitting apparatus, an M-ary digital modulator (4) modulates the m-bit (m ≧ 2 and m is an integer) binary digital signal into M-value symbols (M = 2 m ) prior to the spreading operation by multipliers (6) and (8). In a receiving apparatus, after the despreading operation by an orthogonalizing filter (56), an M-ary digital demodulator (60) compensates the variation of the phase and amplitude of the carrier of the M-ary modulated signal. A decision circuit (62) decides the output of the M-ary digital demodulator (60). A tap coefficient control circuit (58) calculates orthogonal coefficients using the outputs of the subtractors (64) and (66), the outputs of the M-ary digital demodulator (60), the outputs of receiving filters (52) and (54), and the spreading code (93). The symbols outputted from the decision circuit (62) is converted into an m-bit signal and then combined into a signal of one sequence.
