Abstract: A portable electronic unit, such as a defibrillator, includes an autotest system for automatically self-testing various electrical components within the unit during quiescent periods. The autotest system includes an autotest routine that performs an extensive array of rigorous yet time-consuming tests that are impractical to perform during normal modes of operation of the unit. A real-time clock can be set to initiate the autotest routine at a time when the unit is unlikely to be used for its normal mode of operation. The autotest system provides a strip chart printout of the results of the various self-tests performed on the unit, and provides messages on a visual display of any error conditions. If the autotest system detects a needs service malfunction, the operator must acknowledge the error with an input to the unit before the unit will enter into its normal mode of operation. If the autotest system detects a service mandatory malfunction, the unit will discontinue any normal mode of operation until the malfunction is corrected. The autotest system immediately discontinues the autotest routine upon power-up of the unit by an operator for use of the unit in its normal mode of operation.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for determining an optimal replicating portfolio for a given target portfolio involves an initial step wherein a user defines a target portfolio to be replicated, a set of available market Instruments from which the replicating portfolio may be created, a set of future scenarios, a horizon date, and a minimum profit to be attained. A representation of the trade-off between risk and expected profit for some arbitrary replicating portfolio is then determined and used to calculate a maximum risk-adjusted profit. The maximum risk-adjusted profit reflects that level of return that may be achieved with an optimum degree of risk; that is, it reflects that point in the risk/reward trade-off where a marginal cost of risk is equivalent to a marginal benefit attainable by assuming that risk. The method then uses the predefined set of available market instruments to identify a set of transactions that will create a replicating portfolio that will achieve the maximum risk-adjusted profit. The method and apparatus also derives the information required to compute a risk premium for pricing of portfolios in incomplete markets, and performs the computation.

Abstract: A carrier generator circuit (101) for use in a modem employed in a wireless communication system includes a voltage controlled oscillator (110) comprising an N-stage ring oscillator to generate N balanced vectors of equal magnitude and arbitrary phase difference. The carrier generator circuit also includes a phase corrector (112) to add two of the balanced vectors (V1,V1B;V2,V2B) to generate a sum vector and to subtract the two balanced vectors to generate a difference vector. The sum vector and difference vector have a phase difference of 90 degrees. The sum vector represents an I (in-phase) carrier signal component and the difference vector represents a Q (quadrature-phase) carrier signal component. These I and Q carrier signal components (on 114,116) can be used to transmit and receive data signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for modifying a polyethylene in an extruder. The polyethylene is brought into contact with oxygen or a gas mixture containing oxygen in the extruder, optionally in the presence of a relatively small quantity or preferably in the absence of short-term antioxidant agent. The polyethylene thus brought into contact is treated thermomechanically in the molten state in the extruder supplying a relatively high specific mechanical energy, the treatment being conducted to its term when the value of the loss tangent of the polyethylene characterizing its viscoelastic state decreases with a desired proportion. The polymer thus treated is particularly suitable for being transformed into film by blown extrusion with a considerably increased bubble stability.

Abstract: A groove (21) is formed on an upper surface of sealing resin (2) in the form of a strip. A device (101) is pressed against a flat surface of a radiating fin (55) by a band plate shaped clamper (61) which is engaged with the groove (21). Due to the engagement of the clamper (61) and the groove (21), movement of the device (101) is limited. Namely, the device (101) is stably fixed to the radiating fin (55). Since the device (101) is fixed to the radiating fin (55) by the clamper (61), no hole for receiving a fastening screw is provided in the sealing resin (2). Therefore, the sealing resin (2) is reduced, whereby miniaturization of the device (101) is implemented. Thus, the device is miniaturized at no sacrifice of radiation efficiency.

Then, the file requesting client makes a transfer request requesting a transfer of files according to the file list, and in response the file server transfers the files requested by the transfer equest. Alternatively, the file requesting client makes a request indicating a desired file, and in response the file server transfers a concatenated file formed by concatenating files related to the desired file indicated by the request. Then, the file requesting client extracts individual files from the concatenated file.

Abstract: Herein described are a motion estimation method and a motion estimation apparatus for calculating a motion vector to estimate a current picture (Pa) based on a reference picture (Pb). The current picture (Pa) is partially formed by a current block (50) represented by pel values. The reference picture (Pb) is partially formed by a search window (60, 70) represented by pel values and having a plurality of candidate blocks (60a, 70a). There are provided processor elements (PE) and side register units (SR) arranged in the form of a matrix array. The pel values of the search window (60, 70) are fed to the processor elements (PE) and the side register units (RE). The pel values of the current block (50) are fed to the processor elements (PE). Between the processor elements (PE) and the side register units (SR), are shifted pel values of the search window (60, 70). The processor elements (PE) are designed to calculate distortion values each indicative of a difference between the current block (50) and each of the candidate blocks (60a, 70a) on the basis of the received pel values of the search window (60, 70) and the received pel values of the current block (50). The method and apparatus are characterized in that, at one of the adjoining two columns of the matrix array, the pel values of the search window (60, 70) are shifted only in an upward direction, while, at the other of the adjoining two columns of the matrix array, the pel values of the search window (60, 70) are shifted only in a downward direction.

Abstract: Procédé et dispositif d'optimisation de la vitesse d'une fonction d'accès en mémoire d'une mémoire vive dynamique en fonction du temps de latence donné. Ce nouveau dispositif de mémoire compense l'écart de temps entre le verrouillage d'adresses de rangées et le verrouillage d'adresses de colonnes (tRCD) en retardant la présentation de l'adresse de colonnes afin d'allouer au tRCD une partie du temps disponible pour le verrouillage d'adresses de colonnes afin de valider la sortie de données (tAA) lorsque le tRCD est le paramètre critique. Le circuit d'optimisation réduit le temps disponible tAA et le 'réattribue' au paramètre plus critique tRCD, permettant ainsi l'optimisation ou la réduction du temps alloué pour le tRCD en réattribuant à ce tRCD l'excédent de temps disponible pour le tAA. Ainsi, ce circuit d'optimisation d'accès en mémoire permet d'optimiser ou de réduire le temps total d'accès en mémoire en réattribuant au tRCD ainsi optimisé l'excédent de temps disponible pour le tAA.
