Abstract: An analog/digital modulation type discrimination circuit 1 discriminates whether a reception signal is an analog modulation type, a linear modulation type or a non-linear modulation type by digital modulation type. In case where the reception signal is discriminated to be the analog modulation type, an analog modulation type discrimination circuit 2 discriminates whether it is an AM  signal or an FM signal among the analog modulation type. In case where the reception signal is discriminated to be the linear modulation type by digital modulation type, a linear modulation type discrimination circuit 3 discriminates whether it is a BPSK signal, a QPSK signal, a .pi./4-shift QPSK signal, an 8-PSK signal, an M-ary PSK signal of multi-level exceeding 8-levels, a 16 QAM signal or an M-ary QAM  signal of multi-level exceeding 16-levels among the linear modulation type by digital modulation type. In case where the reception signal is discriminated to be the non-linear modulation type by the digital modulation type, a non-linear modulation type discrimination circuit 4 discriminates whether it is an M-ary FSK signal, a 2-FSK signal, an MSK signal or a GMSK signal among the non-linear modulation type by the digital modulation type.

Filed: 1999-12-22
Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: A closure (2) having a tamper-evident band (4) secured to a container neck by a retaining band. The tamper-evident band (4) is attached to the retaining band (10) by a hinge (12) so that the retaining band (10) rotates upward about the hinge when the closure is applied to the neck of a container, causing the inner wall (26) of the retaining band and the inner wall (15) of the tamper-evident band to form a cavity therebetween. A number of rectangular openings (28) are spaced around the circumference of the retaining band. The upper edge of each opening extends beyond the hinge and into the tamper-evident band. A recess (24) in the inner wall of the tamper-evident band is located above each opening so that the lower edge of the recess intersects with the rear wall of the opening. The openings and recesses cooperate to ensure that any liquid that spills or splashes from the container neck into the cavity during capping will drain out.

Abstract: A remote client computer performance/compatibility querying and certification system allows a server to remotely query a client computer over a communication network to gather performance/capability information of the client computer, e.g., the processor class or family, the type and the version of the operating system, display resolution capability, installed software components, peripheral devices connected to the client computer and/or the like, and determines whether the client computer is capable of accessing and utilizing an on-line service available over the communication network. The performance/capability information is gathered by the use of a querying program downloaded from the server, and running on the client computer. The querying program may query, e.g., through one or more application program interface (API) function calls, the system/component registry of the operating system of the client computer. The gathered performance/capability information may be used, e.g., to pre-certify the client computer before the user attempts to utilize the on-line service, to determine whether the client computer is compatible with a software product, which the user of the client computer desires to purchase on-line over the communication network, and/or to provide an expert technician information regarding the installed software/hardware components of the client computer during an on-line technical support session.
