Patent EP-0680168-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GITLIN RICHARD D
IPC: H04J13/16
Filed: 1995-04-27
Abstract: In a system and method for optimizing usage of a communications transmission medium, the transmission medium may be sliced into time (S0-S6) and frequency (F0-F6) domains so as to create time-frequency slices for assignment (by 100) to users (A-T) having varying access rates and user-application requirements. Through scheduling of the various speed users within the frequency and time domains, the system and method can efficiently allocate and make use of the available spectrum, thereby accommodating higher rate users (46) requiring greater bandwidths and time slot assignments while still preserving cost-efficient access for lower speed users (48,50). Depending on the signal modulation scheme, the time-frequency slices may be allocated on non-contiguous frequency bands (e.g., to B). The system and method is also applicable to code-division multiple access (CDMA) techniques by slicing the available code space along time-code domains, frequency-code domains or, in three dimensions, along time-frequency-code domains. Users may be efficiently scheduled based on code space requirements so as to optimize use of the communication medium.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device comprises a substrate (1); circuit elements including an active element (7) and a bias line (61 or 62) for applying a DC bias voltage to the active element (7), disposed on the substrate (1); a thermoplastic material layer (8) disposed on a region of the substrate (1); and a magnetic substance layer (9) disposed on a region of the substrate (1) including a required region on the bias line (61 or 62), and adhered to and supported by the thermoplastic material layer (8). In this structure, the magnetic substance layer (9) can be formed in an appropriate shape and at an appropriate position on the bias line (61 or 62) according to the oscillation characteristics of the active element (7), such as a transistor, and the magnetic substance layer (9) absorbs the frequency components of the oscillation of the active element (7), whereby the oscillation of the active element (7) is easily prevented. Further, since the magnetic substance layer (9) is disposed on the bias line (61 or 62), the unwanted increase in the chip area of the integrated circuit device due to the use of the prior art oscillation preventing circuit is avoided.

Abstract: A magnetic conveyor system for transporting test samples in tubes disposed in a sample rack having a magnetic or magnetically attractive region is described. The magnetic conveyor system includes a drive system, a magnet coupled to the drive system and movable in response to the drive system and a tray having a first surface adapted to receive the sample rack. The magnet is spaced a predetermined distance from the first surface of the tray such that the magnet provides a magnetic force at the surface of the tray. The magnetic force engages the magnetically attractive region of the sample rack disposed on the tray to thereby move the sample rack along the first surface of the tray in response to movement of the drive system. When the tray reaches the end of the rack it is moved onto a processing queue tray where it is available for test purposes. A barcode reader reads a bar code on each test sample as it is placed on the process queue to identify one or more tests to perform. When all samples have received the individual tests the rack exits to an output queue for disposal. When a test must be made on an immediate basis out of normal processing order a sample rack can be inserted into the process queue via a priority rack feed. In the indicated manner, testing can continue without interruption as new racks are added and completed racks removed.

Title: Valve assembly
Inventor: CRAWLEY MICHAEL F
IPC: F16K49/00
Filed: 1996-09-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a valve assembly for granular and/or abrasive materials. The valves comprises a housing having an inlet and an outlet wherein the ratio of the outlet diameter to inlet diameter is no less than 1:1 for unrestricted flow of materials through the valve assembly. Also provided is a spherical closure member within the housing; a valve seat within the housing with which the closure member matably engages in a first position in closing relationship with the outlet; and an elongated shaft drivably connected to the closure member for rotating the closure member about the shaft axis between a second position in an open relationship with the outlet and the first position to facilitate a flow of material therethrough from the inlet to the outlet of the valve assembly by rotation of the shaft to move the closure member between the first and second positions. There is an annular recess in the housing adjacent the valve seat containing a resilient inflatable sealing ring, the ring being dimensioned so as to sealably contact the closure member when the closure member is in the first position upon inflation of the ring. A fluid inlet supplies a fluid under pressure to the sealing ring to inflate the sealing ring. A shaft channel in the housing contains a shaft seal and a shaft bearing, the shaft seal and shaft bearing having apertures therein for receiving the shaft therethrough in the shaft channel in order to provide sealed rotation of the shaft about the shaft axis with respect to the housing. An outer end of the shaft projects from the shaft channel and contains an external hub disposed on the outer end of the shaft which hub is dimensioned and arranged so as to engage the housing to restrict longitudinal movement of the shaft in the channel. The hub is connected to the outer end of the shaft by axial connection means which engages the hub and shaft together so as to restrict axial movement of one with respect to the other in a manner which limits the imposition of any radially directed impact forces upon the shaft associated with connection of the hub to the shaft.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coordinate input device, having a vibration transmission plate, that simplifies the measurement of a vibration transmission speed, which is used as a known constant to calculate a distance between a vibration input location and individual vibration sensors, and that ensures the accurate performance of calculations to acquire input coordinates. 
     According to the present invention, a vibration transmission plate has anisotropic properties that are associated with two axes. As a result, the speeds at which vibrations arrive at vibration sensors differ depending on which pair of vibration sensors, 6a and 6d, or tb and 6c, is involved. Therefore, the vibration transmission speeds are measured for the individual pairs of vibration sensors, 6a and 6d, and 6b and 6c, and the measured values are stored as known values. These values are employed as constants to be used for calculations performed to acquire coordinates.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying catalyst for removing at least nitrogen oxides from oxygen-rich exhaust gas has a composite oxide support that comprises at least two elements selected from Ti, Zr and Si, and a noble metal loaded on said composite oxide support. An exhaust gas purifying method has an adding step of gas oil as a reducing agent. The composite oxide support has more acid points than alumina and the like, and this adsorbs NO x  on its acid points. The thus-adsorbed NO x  is reduced with a reducing agent through the catalytic activity of the noble metal on the catalyst, and removed from exhaust gas. The catalyst is effective for inhibiting the oxidation of SO 2  in exhaust gas. The addition of a reducing agent such as gas oil to the catalyst enhances the reduction of NO x  in oxygen-rich exhaust gas which contains oxygen not less than the amount of oxygen necessary for oxidizing the components to be oxidized in the exhaust gas, thereby promoting the removal of NO x  from the gas.
