Patent EP-0786177-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OJANIEMI HEIKKI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A communication system utilizes an external signal of high accuracy to maintain a good degree of accuracy of synchronization of base sites. A good example of such a signal is the signal transmitted by the global positioning system (GPS) or, a high accuracy PCM (pulse code modulation) or other high accuracy signal provided by a terrestrial transmission network including the base sites. When the synchronization to the GPS signal on one or more base sites cannot be achieved, the communication system employs an alternate synchronization source on those base sites that are missing the synchronization to the GPS signal. The alternate synchronization source is a separate local oscillator of the base site. To achieve the degree of synchronization accuracy provided by the GPS signal, the communication system learns the behavior of each and every local oscillator. This characterization is performed on each base site, and is done by utilizing the GPS signal when the GPS signal is present. When the synchronization to the GPS signal is lost, the characterized local oscillator is then employed such that synchronization of the base sites is transparent to the base sites. Use of the GPS signal to characterize the local oscillators allows the characterized oscillator to provide the same degree of accuracy as that of the GPS signal. The method of characterizing the alternate synchronization source on a site basis makes it possible to take the local oscillators' individual characteristics, as well as the site specific conditions, into account.

Title: Method of monitoring a secondary air pump
Inventor: BAYERLE KLAUS
IPC: F01N3/32
Filed: 1996-10-08
Abstract: An air mass meter is used to measure the secondary air mass displaced by the secondary air pump and the secondary air mass thus measured is compared by a control device with the target secondary air mass set by the control device. If the measured secondary air mass differs by more than a predetermined value from the target secondary air mass, an error function is acknowledged by the control device (3).

Abstract: The beam comprises right-angled cuboids (4) which are glued together, and which are each formed from two right angled triangular segments which are also glued together. The segments are formed be making radial cuts into a tree trunk.

Abstract: There are voice signals from at least two voice sources which are multiplexed by an ATM Adaptation Layer 2 multiplexer (AAL2 MUX) into the same ATM connection after having been processed by a packetizing means such that the AAL2 MUX is presented with assembled AAL2 packets of a suitable periodicity. If the voice data signals are to be compressed, the packetizing means comprises an encoder of a suitable voice codec, e.g. ADPCM, GSM, LD-CELP or CS-ACELP. The voice encoders may also include means for silence removal. The packetizing means further comprises a packetizer, either separated from the voice encoder, or as a part thereof. The packet releases from the packetizing means are synchronized to occur virtually simultaneously. In this way, the released packets from the packetizing means arrive almost simultaneously at the AAL2 MUX, with the result that an ATM cell may be filled with AAL2 packets well before the expiration of the timer Timer-CU of the AAL2 MUX.

Abstract: The large close spring (18) in the operating mechanism (17) of electrical switching apparatus (1) is charged by a charging mechanism (387) which includes a charging cam (173) mounted on a cam shaft (115) and rotated by a ratchet wheel (389). An elongated handle (31) is mounted for rotation about a pivot axis (127) offset laterally from the cam shaft (115). A drive link (397) which successively engages the teeth (403) on the ratchet wheel (389) is pivotally connected to the handle (31) at a point closer to the handle pivot axis than the radius of the ratchet wheel (389) to increase the mechanical advantage of the handle (31). A common spring (413) biases the drive link (397) and a stop dog (409) against the ratchet wheel (389). A turned pin (401) on the drive link (397) is used to engage the ratchet teeth (403) which have an arcuate profile including a radius (403r) at the root configured to be engaged by the turned pin (401). A similar drive link (431) with a turned pin (433) to engage the ratchet teeth (403) is reciprocated by an electric motor (421). A handle decoupling cam (391) and a motor decoupling cam (393) lift the respective drive links (397,431) out of engagement with the ratchet wheel (389) when the close spring (18) becomes fully charged. A lifting pin (447) and/or a lateral projection (417) on the handle drive link (397) disengage the handle (31) from the ratchet wheel (389) as the handle (31) is stowed.
