Patent EP-0884851-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MUHLENBERG LAMBERT
IPC: A61N1/372
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A system and method of non-linear sampling of an
analog signal, and for data compression, to provide
overall compressed digital representative of an analog
signal such as a physiological signal obtained in a
battery powered device such as an implantable pacemaker.
Non-linear sampling is provided by generating a time
varying threshold signal against which the analog signal
is compared every clock sample, with the sample being
skipped if the input analog signal does not exceed the
threshold signal. The threshold signal can be either
analog or a plurality of discrete levels, enabling up to
a predetermined maximum number of samples to be skipped.
The non-linearly sampled data is further compressed,
using lossless techniques for compressing both the
amplitude data and the data representative of skipped
samples, to provide data for decompression. In a
specific pacemaker embodiment, the data compression
system recognizing a marker channel event, and includes
data representative of the time and type of marker
channel event.

Abstract: In order to know the NOx concentration in a measurement
gas, a gas sensor is provided with a first chamber (60) for
introducing the measurement gas via a first diffusion rate-determining
section (56) thereinto, a second chamber (62)
for introducing an atmosphere thereof via a second diffusion
rate-determining section (60) thereinto, a main pumping cell
(68) for controlling the partial pressure of oxygen in the
first chamber (60), a measuring pumping cell (82) for
pumping out oxygen in the second chamber (62), and a
concentration-detecting means (including an ammeter (88))
for detecting a pumping current (Ip2) flowing in accordance
with the operation of the measuring pumping cell (82). An
inner pumping electrode (64) exposed to the inside of the
first chamber (60) is a cermet electrode composed of an
alloy of Au and a metal of the platinum group and a ceramic
component, and Au is contained in the alloy in a ratio of
not less than 0.3 wt% and not more than 35 wt%. Accordingly,
it is possible to suppress the reaction of NO + (1/2)O 2  →
NO 2  on the electrode, and measure, for example, the NOx
concentration in the measurement gas in a stable manner for
a long period of time without being affected, for example,
by oxygen, CO 2 , and H 2 O.

Abstract: A set of filters are arranged in sequence for verification and
analysis of digital circuit designs. The filters are either active
filters, which are directly involved in verification of circuit
designs (e.g., a Binary Decision Diagram (BDD)-based verifier or an
automatic test pattern generation (ATPG)-based verifier), or
passive filters, which gather information about the circuit or
transform the circuit structure in order to simplify the
verification problem (e.g., random pattern simulation or circuit
partitioning). Given a pair of circuits to be verified, the filter
approach first subjects the circuits to very simple, fast
techniques having very low memory usage requirements. These steps
are followed by a series of increasingly powerful methods that are
more time consuming and often require more computer memory for
their operation. In between the simpler active filters and the more
sophisticated active filters, information about potential
equivalent nodes in the circuits is collected and a decision is
made as to whether to partition the circuits. The verification
methodology is structured such that circuit designs that are easier
to verify are never unnecessarily subjected to more expensive
techniques. The method provides for a gradual increase in the
sophistication of verification techniques applied, according to the
difficulty of the verification problem.

Title: Method and system for executing  operations on denormalised numbers
Inventor: SCHWARZ ERIC MARK
IPC: G06F5/01
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: A method and system for processing instructions in a floating point
unit for executing denormalized numbers in floating point pipeline via
serializing uses an instruction unit and having a control unit and a
pipelined data flow unit, a shifter and a rounding unit. The floating
point unit has an external feedback path for providing intermediate
result data from said rounding unit to an input of the pipelined data
flow unit to reuse the pipeline for denormalization by passing
intermediate results in the pipeline which have a denormalized condition
computed after the exponent calculation of the shifting circuit directly
from the rounding unit to the top of the dataflow in the pipeline via an
external feedback path. The pipelined has two paths which are selected
based on the presence of other instructions in the pipeline. If no other
instructions are in the pipeline a first path is taken which uses the
external feedback path from the rounding unit back into the top of the
dataflow. When there are instructions in the pipeline a shifter unit
performing normalization of the fraction indicates possible underflow of
the exponent, and prepares to hold the exponent and the fraction in a
floating point data flow register; and upon detection of exponent
underflow during the rounder stage and detection of any other
instructions in pipeline; then the control unit forces an interrupt for
serialization, and cancels execution of this instruction and other
instructions in pipeline.

Abstract: A fail-safe fluid transfer control circuit includes at least one switch that must be
closed to provide power to a pump or valve that enables fluid transfer, at least one
controller is provided that monitors the switched state (i.e. open or closed) of each of
the switches. If a controller senses that one of the switches is in a closed state when
the input conditions warrant it being in an open state, the controller opens the switch,
and does not close it until the problem corrects itself or until the problem is corrected by
a service person. A bypass control is provided in the form of an optical bypass key (1401)
which transmits an optically encoded code number to the rack controller, and by which a
terminal manager may override certain preventative conditions of the controller. Using
the optical bypass key (1401) of the present invention, the accessibility of the bypass circuit to
a driver is decreased, thus reducing the likelihood of tampering.

Abstract: A relatively high average power optical laser utilizes a diode pumped multi-mode
dual-clad fiber amplifier configured for double pass amplification to provide a
relatively higher average power than single mode fiber amplifiers. In order to compensate
for mode scrambling and depolarization from the multi-mode fiber amplifier, the output
beam from the multi-mode fiber amplifier is applied to a vector phase conjugator after a
single pass through the amplifier and reflected back into the amplifier. The vector phase
conjugator conjugates the electric field amplitude, phase and polarization and reflects a
conjugate wave back into the multi-mode fiber amplifier in a reverse direction. The
propagation of the conjugate wave through the amplifier unscrambles mode mixing and
restores the beam back to its original polarization state. A Faraday rotator and
polarization beam splitter are used to outcouple an output beam after the second pass
through the multi-mode fiber amplifier.

Abstract: A liquid-crystal panel comprises a pair of transparent
glass substrates each being provided with an electrode.
Between the glass substrates are disposed spacers for defining
a space and a mixture of droplets of a liquid crystal having a
mean diameter of 3.0 µm or less and of a photo-curing polymer.
The edge portions of the glass substrates are sealed with a
seal polymer. In curing the photo-curing polymer during the
process of manufacturing the liquid-crystal panel, the dose of
an ultraviolet ray is set to 500 mJ/cm 2  or more so as to reduce
the diameters of the droplets of the liquid crystal, thereby
preventing light leakage in the state without a voltage applied
and improving the contrast. If the spacers are colored, the
effect of preventing light leakage is increased. If the
spacers are subjected to a surface treatment for rejecting the
liquid crystal or composed of a polymer material of the same
type as that of the photo-curing polymer, variations in
diameter of the droplets of the liquid crystal can be
prevented. With the structure, it becomes possible to provide
a liquid-crystal panel in which light leakage in the black mode
is reduced and which presents uniform and high-contrast display
of images.
