Abstract: The pump has a housing plate having a front face and a back face, a housing can fixed to the plate and defining a chamber on the back face, a bearing sleeve in the can fixed to the plate and extending rearward from the back face along an axis, and a rotor shaft extending axially through the sleeve and having a front end and a rear end. Bearings support the rotor shaft in the sleeve for rotation about the axis. The shaft has an outer surface spaced a predetermined inner radial distance from an inside surface of the bearing sleeve. An impeller is carried on the rotor-shaft front end in a pump chamber at the front face of the housing plate. A rotor body fixed to the shaft rear end extends axially forward in the can around the bearing sleeve. The rotor body has an outer surface spaced a predetermined outer radial distance from an inside surface of the can. The inner radial dimension is smaller than the outer radial dimension.

Abstract: A first filter (2061 in Fig. 1) calculates a long-time
average of first change quantities based on a difference
between a line spectral frequency of an input voice signal
and a long-time average thereof. A second filter (2062 in
Fig. 1) calculates a long-time average of second change
quantities based on a difference between a whole band
energy of the input voice signal and a long-time average
thereof. A third filter (2063 in Fig. 1) calculates a
long-time average of third change quantities based on a
difference between a low band energy of the input voice
signal and a long-time average thereof. A fourth filter
(2064 in Fig. 1) calculates a long-time average of fourth
change quantities based on a difference between a zero
cross number of the input voice signal and a long-time
average thereof. A voice/non-voice determining circuit
(1040 in Fig. 1) discriminates a voice section from a non-voice
section in the voice signal using the long-time

Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: Dans un mode de réalisation illustratif de la présente invention, un signal de référence comprenant des informations pilotes est émis à partir d'une station de base vers une ou plusieurs unités mobiles sur un canal pilote. Un message est également envoyé aux unités mobiles sur un canal de recherche en vue d'indiquer un niveau efficace de puissance rayonnée auquel le signal de référence est émis sur le canal pilote. Un affaiblissement du trajet aval est estimé au niveau de l'unité mobile pour la liaison aval entre la station de base et l'unité mobile en fonction du niveau de puissance reçu du signal de référence au niveau de l'unité mobile et du niveau efficace de puissance rayonnée de ce signal. En partant du principe que l'affaiblissement du trajet dans la liaison inverse est approximativement égal à celui estimé pour la liaison aval, l'unité mobile peut émettre un message de réponse dans la liaison inverse de manière que la station de base reçoit généralement un message à un niveau de puissance souhaité.

L'appareil comprend également une fonction de détermination du décalage de fréquence instantané permettant de déterminer un décalage de fréquence instantané en tant que fonction de la sortie de corrélation. Dans la plupart des cas, la correction du décalage de fréquence est évaluée à partir d'une pluralité de séquences désétalées de sortie de doigts. Dans un tel contexte, une pluralité de fonctions de corrélation est prévue, chacune des fonctions étant conçue pour effectuer une corrélation respective sur des signaux d'entrée respectif, chaque signal étant une fonction d'une séquence désétalée de sortie de doigts respective, de manière à obtenir une pluralité correspondante de sorties de corrélation, la corrélation étant effectuée entre le signal d'entrée respectif et une version retardée du signal d'entrée respectif. Un combineur combine la pluralité de sorties d'autocorrélation, en vue de produire une sortie de corrélation combinée, et une fonction de détermination du décalage de fréquence instantané détermine un décalage de fréquence instantané en tant que fonction de la sortie de corrélation combinée. De manière à éliminer une variabilité à court terme dans l'évaluation, l'appareil peut également comprendre un filtre passe-bas conçu pour effectuer un filtrage passe-bas sur le décalage de fréquence instantané, en vue d'obtenir un décalage de fréquence filtré.
