Patent EP-0402741-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1990-06-05
Abstract: For forwarding cells through a switching device, the cells in each case have a cell header, in which control information items required for the forwarding and protection information items associated therewith are contained. Using the protection information items, the relevant switching device carries out an evaluation of the transmitted cells with respect to the occurrence of bit errors in the cell headers. The forwarding of cells which have been identified as faulty with respect to the cell headers is prevented. In the course of the evaluation, an occurrence of a first cell group, comprising a fixed number of directly successive cells which have been identified as being faulty is assessed to be the start of an error bundle. In the event of an error bundle, the forwarding of cells which have been identified as faulty is prevented until the occurrence of a second cell group, comprising a fixed number of directly successive cells which have been identified as being free of errors. The occurrence of the relevant second cell group is assessed as the end of the respective error bundle and the ultimately transmitted cells belonging to the relevant second cell group are forwarded. <IMAGE>

Title: Unbalanced load detection system and method for a household appliance
IPC: D06F33/48
Filed: 1990-04-05
Abstract: Load unbalance in an inverter driven washing machine is 
detected by examining the ripple in the DC inverter bus current. 
Ripple above a predetermined level is indicative of load 
unbalance. If the ripple indicates the load is unbalanced, the 
distribution cycle of the washing machine is attempted again in 
an attempt to more nearly balance the clothes. After a certain 
number of tries, if the load is still unbalanced the spin cycle 
is aborted. If the ripple falls below a predetermined level 
before the maximum number of tries is reached, the spin cycle is 
started. The frequency of operation is checked during the spin 
cycle to adjust the cycle time to the particular degree of load 
balance achieved.

Title: Optical switch
IPC: G02F1/21
Filed: 1992-05-20
Abstract: An optical switch serves the purpose of relaying in a specific, selected direction a wavetrain irradiated onto it. Suitable as part of an optical switch is a light-transmitting material in which by applying an electrical field a three-dimensional diffraction structure is generated by means of which the direction of the wavetrain can be varied. An optical switch according to the invention has a material with optically nonlinear characteristics, in which the three-dimensional diffraction structure is stored. The material forms at least one single layer (2) which extends above a substrate (1). Electrodes (3 - 6) are present; the diffraction structure in the layer (2) can be varied by an electrical field which can be applied to the electrodes. A portion of the wavetrain irradiated onto the layer (2) is consequently deflected in accordance with the strength of the electrical field present between the electrodes (3 - 6). <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-09-15
Abstract: Three-dimensional information is divided into a 
plurality of object structures and for each a 2-dimensional 
plane is set. A set of 2-dimensional images 
are obtained for each object structure by projecting the 
object structure onto the corresponding plane, as seen 
from a plurality of points on a hologram forming surface. 
In order to electronically produce a hologram, a phase 
distribution at the hologram forming surface is 
calculated from the 2-dimensional images of each object 
structure. The calculated phase distribution is 
reproduced on a liquid crystal display or the like. A 
reference light is irradiated onto the phase distribution 
and is converted into an optical wave front, thereby to 
display a solid image. In order to form a hologram on a 
hologram recording medium, each of the 2-dimensional 
images are exposed on a dry plate at a location 
corresponding to the location on said hologram forming 
surface from which the image was viewed.

Abstract: An acoustic cell (1) includes multiple acoustic cavities (11, 12, 13)
fluidly coupled together. At least two of the acoustic cavities have unequal
lengths and cross sections. End segments of the acoustic cell (1) are uniformly
cylindrically shaped or conically shaped. A driver transducer (30) at one end
of the acoustic cell (1) and a receiver transducer (40) at another end of the
acoustic cell (1) are acoustically isolated from the acoustic cell (1). A pair of
preferably metallic isolation diaphragms (20a, 20b) transmit acoustic signals to
and from the transducers (30, 40) without significantly altering the phase-frequency
characteristics of the acoustic signals. The acoustic cell (1) operates
as an acoustic resonator operating at frequencies lower than any possible self-resonance
frequencies of the isolation diaphragms (20a, 20b) or the driver and
receiver transducers (30, 40). When a binary gas is flowed through the cell,
a processor detects a resonant frequency of the gas within the cell (1) to
determine a composition of the gas.
