Title: Etalonnage de reduction de distorsion
Inventor: SHAH PETER JIVAN
IPC: H04B1/30
Filed: 2003-02-03
Granted: 2008-09-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques pour compenser une distorsion de second ordre dans un dispositif de communication sans fil. Dans une architecture à fréquence intermédiaire (IF) nulle ou basse, la distorsion IM2 générée par le mélangeur (20) se traduit par des niveaux de distorsion indésirables dans le signal de sortie en bande de base. Un circuit de compensation (104) fournit une mesure du courant de la distorsion IM2 indépendant de la voie de fréquence radio (RF) pour générer un courant d'étalonnage IM2. Ce courant d'étalonnage IM2 est combiné au signal de sortie en bande de base pour éliminer les courants IM2 générés dans la voie RF. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'étalonnage est effectué en usine durant les essais finaux. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des circuits supplémentaires (156, 158) peuvent être ajoutés au dispositif de communication sans fil pour réaliser un passage entre l'émetteur (150) et le récepteur (146). Le signal de l'émetteur est envoyé au récepteur pour l'étalonnage automatique de l'unité. Une source de signal interne (162) peut être utilisée à la place de l'émetteur (150). L'auto-étalonnage peut servir à éliminer la distorsion IM2 ou à optimiser le circuit, afin de minimiser d'autres formes de distorsion ou d'interférence.

Title: Wrapping machine
Inventor: SUOLAHTI YRJO
IPC: B65B11/00

Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: A wrapping machine having a pre--stretching device (6) for pre-stretching a film web (1) drawn from film roll before its being wrapped around an object, said pre-stretching device (6) comprising a first pre-stretching roller (7) and a sec-ond pre-stretching roller (9), which are tractively coupled via power transmission gears (11, 12) . A first deflecting pinch roller (13) has been fitted to be pressed against the first pre-stretching roller (7) to form a first nip (14) for the film web passed between the first deflecting pinch roller (13) and the first pre--stretching roller (7). A second deflecting pinch roller (15) has been fitted to be pressed against the second pre-stretching roller (9) to form a second nip (16) for the film web passed between the second de-flecting pinch roller (15) and the second pre-stretching roller (9). A lever mecha-nism (17) moves the first pre-stretching roller (7) between an engagement position (I) and a disengagement position (II), so that the lever mechanism (17) also moves the first deflecting pinch roller (13) apart from the first pre-stretching roller (7) and simultaneously the second deflect-ing pinch roller (15) apart from the second pre-stretching roller (9) to allow easier thread-in of the film web end.

Abstract: A fuel cell (10) includes a diffusion layer (13, 16) formed in a sheet having a small thickness. The fuel cell (10) is assembled with a tension imposed on the sheet in an in-plane direction of the sheet. The tension is imposed on the diffusion layer (13, 16) from a frame (29) disposed outside the fuel cell. The tension is of such a magnitude as to prevent a portion of the sheet (13, 16) positioned corresponding to a gas passage of a separator from being deformed when the fuel cell is assembled and has a tightening force thereby applied thereto. The tension is adjustable according to a fuel cell operating condition. These structures can prevent a separator rib from pushing into a membrane, maintaining the gas passability of the diffusion layer well.

Granted: 2011-12-13
Abstract: An insertion unit 2 of an endoscope 1 includes a distal section 8, a bending section 9 that can bend freely, and a soft section 10 having flexibility in that order from the distal end thereof. The soft section 10 has as the distal part thereof a small-diameter portion 10a, a large-diameter portion 10b, and a tapered portion 10c linking the small-diameter portion 10a and large-diameter portion 10b. At least part of the tapered portion 10c is located ahead of a point that is 70 cm away from the distal endoscope end. When the insertion unit 2 is inserted into the large intestine, if the distal section 8 is moved the shortest distance to the cecum, the distance from the anus to the distal section 8 is known to generally range from approximately 60 cm to approximately 70 cm. Therefore, at least part of the tapered portion 10c is located at a position that is 70 cm or less from the distal endoscope end, whereby excellent insertion efficiency is ensured.

Abstract: A maximum of Nmax bits for encoding is defined for a set of parameters which may be calculated from a signal frame. The parameters for a first sub-set are calculated and encoded with N0 bits, where N0 < Nmax. The allocation of Nmax - N0 encoding bits for the parameters of a second sub-set are determined and the encoding bits allocated to the parameters for the second sub-set are classified. The allocation and/or order of classification of the encoding bits are determined as a function of the encoding parameters for the first sub-set. For a total of N available bits for the encoding of the total parameters (N0 < N = Nmax), the parameters for the second sub-set allocated the N - N0 encoding bits classified the first in said order are selected. Said selected parameters are calculated and encoded to give the N - N0 bits. The N0 encoding bits for the first sub-set and the N - N0 encoding bits for the selected parameters for the second sub-set are finally introduced into the output sequence of the encoder.

Title: Method for calculating power capability of battery packs using advanced cell model predictive techniques
Inventor: PLETT GREGORY L
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2004-11-19
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for estimating discharge and charge power of battery applications, including battery packs used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV). One charge/discharge power estimating method incorporates voltage, state-of-charge (SOC), power, and current design constraints and works for a user-specified prediction time horizon of ¥Ät. At least two cell models are used in calculating maximum charge/discharge power based on voltage limits. The first is a simple cell model that uses a Taylor-series expansion to linearize the equation involved. The second is a more complex and accurate model that models cell dynamics in discrete-time state-space form. The cell model can incorporate a inputs such as temperature, resistance, capacity, etc. One advantage of using model-based approach is that the same model may be used in both Kalman-filtering to produce the SOC and the estimation of maximum charge/discharge current based on voltage limits.
