Abstract: A contactless interface (20) for transfer of data between a semiconductor music chip (16) and a solid state audio player (12) comprises a set of conductive plates or electrodes (55-58, 65-68) with outer dielectric surfaces on both the music chip and the audio player. Corresponding capacitive plates on the music chip and audio player facilitate data communication by forming a series of capacitors once the music chip is inserted within the audio player so that the capacitive plates of each device are aligned and in close proximity with one another. In one embodiment of the invention a set of four capacitive plates is included on both the music chip and the audio player forming four capacitors. In this arrangement, two plates on each device are utilized to transmit data and two plates are utilized to receive data. The date is serially transferred between devices in a differential scheme utilizing differential receive and drive amplifiers. The differential data transfer minimizes transmission errors and makes the audio player less susceptible to noise. Contacts (60,61,70,71) are also provided as part of the interface for transfer of power, ground and clock signals from the audio player to the music chip.

Abstract: A system for preventing fraudulent calling activity in a telecommunications network when an Automatic Number Identification failure (ANIF) occurs at a switch attempting to process a call within the network. When an ANIF occurs, an operator obtains information equivalent to an Automatic Number Identification (ANI) from the calling party and the system determines whether the call is of a type that would not have been restricted had the ANIF not occurred. If the call would not otherwise have been restricted had the ANIF not occurred, the system automatically assigns a blanket billing restriction to the call which only allows specific call types (such as what are deemed the safer alternate billing methods of collect or credit card) and blocks other restricted call types.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus having a cylindrical tempering column comprising a cooling stage and a subsequent reheating stage for continuous tempering of a fat-containing, chocolate-like mass. A plurality of interconnected mass chambers are separated by intermediary heat exchange chambers. The mass chambers comprise mixing and stirring elements (8) with radially extending, plate shaped arms (11) comprising plate shaped mixing blades (13, 14, 15, 16; 17, 18, 19, 20). According to the invention is an upper or lower mixing blade (16; 20) arranged at the peripheral end of the mixing and stirring element (8) having a vertically extending end surface (27), thereby providing a shear gap between the end surface (27) and the cylinder wall (28). Hereby is achieved, that the effect of a shear is provided at the comparatively large surface area at the cylinder wall. A considerable increase of the total area of the shear gaps is obtained. Furthermore, the total surface area of the plate shaped arms (11) and of the mixing blades (13, 14, 15, 16; 17, 18, 19, 20) may decrease gradually in direction out towards the peripheral cylinder wall. Hereby is achieved a considerable more uniform stirring of the mass at all areas of the chamber followed by an enhanced heat transport in the mass than was possible with the prior temperers.

Abstract: A swash plate piston (20) of integral, one piece design has outer surface portions in contact with much of the total available inner surface of the cylinder bore (18), but with a basically hollow design that can be easily manufactured. Outer (36) and inner (38) semi cylindrical segments of the piston (20) extend axially back from a cylindrical head (32), but leave the center of the piston body entirely open and empty. A slanted wing member (40) extends out and down from the inner segment (38), into the outer segment (36), creating a four sided, frame like structure of superior strength. All of the outboard outer surfaces of the piston (20) lie on the same cylindrical envelope as the cylinder bore (18) itself, giving good, even support. However, none of the outer surfaces, outboard or inboard, present any concavities that would jeopardize the ability to form the piston (20) with only two forming elements that part in a straight line.

Abstract: A false ceiling made up, typically, of ceiling panels is supported from a series of room carriers which span a room. The room carriers are supported at their ends by perimeter profiles (6) which are themselves supported by wall mounting brackets (4). The wall profiles (6) are provided with a vertical series of teeth and the mounting brackets (4) with detents. To mount the wall profiles, the series of teeth are pushed up into the mounting brackets where they are engaged by the detents. The heights of the profiles (6) can be adjusted by pushing them, and thus the series of teeth, further up into the mounting brackets (4), so that the detents in the mounting brackets (4) engage lower teeth of the series of teeth. By this system, the wall mounting brackets (4) do not need to be positioned accurately. A level ceiling can be ensured by correct adjustment of the heights of the wall profiles (6).

Abstract: In a communications network, a network user communicates using a remote unit with another user via at least one base station. The communications network has a first base station having a first coverage area and a second base station having a second coverage area. In the situation where communication is not established between the second base station and the remote unit, in order to provide communication between the remote unit and the first base station when the remote unit is in the first coverage and simultaneously in the second coverage area, the first base station produces a first active communication signal at intended for the remote unit. The first base station transmits the first active communication signal from a first antenna. The base station delays the first active communication signal to produce a first delayed active communication signal and transmits it from a second antenna wherein the second antenna is oriented with respect to the first antenna such that the first active communication signal and the first delayed active communication signal fade independently as perceived by the remote unit. The first base station may measures a round trip delay of the first active communication signal in order to identify that the remote unit is located within the second coverage area.

Abstract: A phase-lock loop (PLL) has an oscillator having a plurality of operating curves. During
PLL auto-trim operations, the oscillator is automatically trimmed to an appropriate oscillator
operating curve for use during normal PLL operations. In particular embodiments, the PLL is a
charge-pump PLL having a phase/frequency detector (PFD) that generates error signals based on
comparing an input signal and a PLL feedback signal; a charge pump that generates amounts of
charge corresponding to the error signals; a loop filter that accumulates the amounts of charge to
generate a loop-filter voltage; and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), where the VCO output
signal is used to generate the PLL feedback signal. During normal PLL operations, the loop-filter
voltage is applied to the voltage input of the VCO. During the PLL auto-trim operations, a state
machine applies a sequence of digital control input values to the VCO to select different VCO
operating curves until an appropriate operating curve for the present PLL application is found. In
different embodiments, the state machine uses different signals to determine whether the center
frequency of each operating curve in the sequence is above or below the desired nominal
operating frequency for the VCO, and select one such operating curve for use in normal
operations.
