Title: Inductive heater for dental technique and operation method thereof
Inventor: CHA JONG-DAE
IPC: A61C13/00
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: The present invention discloses an inductive heater for a dental technique and a method for operating the same. The inductive heater for a dental technique according to the present invention comprises: a bobbin with a chisel insertion hole connected to inner space at one end and a jointing unit protruded outwardly at the other end; all induction coil wound in the bobbin; an upper case comprising a mounting hole to which the bobbin is inserted and a bobbin fixing protrusion which is bolt-jointed to the jointing unit of the bobbin inserted inwardly through the mounting hole; and a lower case which is joined to the lower part of the upper case. The inductive heater for a dental technique significantly improves productivity of assembly due to a simple jointing structure of the bobbin. Also, the inductive heater is devised for worker's health and work environment by rapidly discharging wax vapor. In addition, usability is enhanced because the electric current control action for supplying electric current to the induction coil is accurately performed only during use of the inductive heater without operation of an on/off switch by a work-er.

Inventor: ASJADI GHOLAM HOSEIN
IPC: H01Q3/26
Filed: 2011-08-12
Abstract: A method of evaluating a quality value (Q factor) for a received television signal comprises: obtaining an estimate of channel impulse response (CIR) for the channel through which the television signal is received, s3510; finding a maximum channel impulse response value s3520, for a main signal path; calculating a mean (average) of values of the channel impulse response s3530 comprising impulse response values for one or more additional signal paths; and calculating the quality value as the ratio of the maximum value to the mean of channel impulse response values, s3540. The channel impulse response may be obtained from channel equalisation associated with reception. Also claimed is a smart (steerable, active) antenna configuration estimator for use in a digital TV receiver carrying out the method. The smart (CA-909 standard) aerial may store quality values for plural directions and evaluate a common performance metric based on directions with the highest quality value and the largest RF signal strength; antenna direction selection may be biased to favour the highest quality value. Selection from a predetermined set of gain values may be performed (Figure 9) based on signal to noise ratio (SNR).
