Patent EP-0817440-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NARA YOSHIKAZU
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for determining
an actual transmission rate of an encoded communication
which has been transmitted at one of a plurality of
transmission rates. An encoded communication is decoded
at the plurality of transmission rates to generate
decoded signals and decoding parameters which indicate
the reliability of the decoded signals. One or more
candidate transmission rates are identified based upon
said decoding reliability parameters. If there is only
one candidate transmission rate, the actual transmission
rate is determined to be that candidate transmission
rate. If there is more than one candidate transmission
rate, the decoded signals are reencoded at the candidate
transmission rates at which they were decoded. The bits
of the communication are then compared with the bits of
the reencoded signals for each candidate transmission
rate to determine the actual transmission rate. A method
and system is further disclosed for determining threshold
values for comparison with the decoding reliability
parameters in identifying the candidate transmission
rates. A method and system is further disclosed which
determines those threshold values on the basis of
detected reception conditions, including the relative
strength of multipath component signals and the total
received power in the communication.

Abstract: The improvement to the gas meter comprises a mechanism
for controlling when the gas control valve should be shut-off and
thereby alleviate the drain upon the battery which is used to
drive the electronic circuitry within the gas meter. The gas meter
comprises a base meter module 1 which has associated therewith
a add-on module 2 which when connected to the base meter
module 1 communicates to the base meter module via an optical
interface 7, 8. The add-on module 2 includes a central processing
unit 9 which is arranged to calculate a volume index threshold
shut-off value which is transmitted to the base meter module 1
and is stored within the control system 5. During meter operation,
the base meter module 1 monitors the volume index value and
when that value is equal to or greater than the value stored in the
control system, the base meter module 1 causes the gas valve 6 to
operate and thereby close the valve and shut-off the gas supply to
the meter. This method of monitoring volume index in the base
meter module uses less power than continually transferring
information across greater periodicity and therefore the battery
life is extended.

IPC: G01C19/5691
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: The invention is a vibratory rotation sensor comprising a resonator and a resonator housing
and a method for controlling and reading out the sensor utilizing multiplex electronics. The
resonator is a rotationally-symmetric thin-walled object that can be made to vibrate in a plurality of
standing-wave modes. One or more electrodes are attached to a surface of the resonator and connect
to a single output port The housing has a plurality of attached electrodes in close proximity to the
resonator electrodes. The method for controlling and reading out the vibratory rotation sensor
includes applying driving voltages to the housing electrodes and determining the parameters of the
standing waves by performing operations on the resonator signal that emerges from the resonator
output port. A driving voltage may include either an excitation voltage or a forcing voltage or both.
An excitation voltage has essentially no effect on the resonator dynamics but carries information
pertaining to the standing-wave parameters when it arrives at the resonator output port. A forcing
voltage causes forces to be applied to the resonator and thereby affects the dynamics of the resonator
and the standing-wave parameters. The driving voltages applied to the housing electrodes are
brought together into a single resonator signal as a result of being transmitted through the housing-electrode-resonator-electrode
capacitances to the resonator output port. In order to extract the
standing-wave parameters, the excitation and forcing voltages are designed to be separable by
appropriate operations performed on the resonator signal.
