Abstract: The modulating and demodulating device comprises a
microstrip line network (1) connected to a transmitting/receiving
antenna (7), the modulator-demodulator having first
and second diodes (11,12) connected to an output of the
microstrip line network, and a bias voltage supplying circuit
(4) for supplying a bias voltage selectively to the first and
second diodes. In the modulator-demodulator, the first diode
is connected between the input and output terminals, and the
second diode is connected between the input terminal and a
reference potential point. When the modulator-demodulator
executes a modulating operation, the bias voltage supplying
circuit supplies a bias voltage to turn on both the first and
second diodes or a bias voltage to turn on only the first
diode in accordance with a modulation signal. When the
modulator-demodulator executes a demodulating operation, the
bias voltage supplying circuit supplies a bias voltage to
turn off both the first and second diodes.

Abstract: A satellite mobile cellular telecommunications network includes a radio link between
a satellite access node (SAN 1) and a user terminal (UT 1) via earth orbiting
satellites 3a, 3b over diverse paths. During a call, the radio link is subject to time
varying transmission errors as a function of the relative movement of the satellites
e.g. timing errors and Doppler shift. Compensation data messages are successively
transmitted to the user terminal during the call, containing data to compensate for
the errors. The radio path is timed-out at UT 1 if compensation messages are not
successfully decoded within a predetermined period set by a timer (T1, T2).
Control for the individual, diverse paths is provided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of transmitting non-dated
digital data between a transmitter and a receiver
in which the data can take at least two different paths
between the transmitter and the receiver and handover
from one path to another occurs during transmission. In
the transmitter, packets intended for the second path
(36) are transmitted only after the last packet intended
for the first path (34) has been transmitted and in the
transmitter and in the receiver packets on the first or
second path are delayed in order for packets on the
second path to arrive after packets on the first path.
It is therefore not necessary to transmit signaling to
differentiate the two paths at the receiver, which can
include a single demodulator (42).

Abstract: A trench sheeting device consists of trench sheeting boxes which are each made up of two trench plates supported against each other, the width of the trench apart, and at least one shaft sheeting box whose width exceeds that of the trench. The shaft sheeting box can therefore essentially be introduced into the ground with standard trench plates and with essentially the same elements as a plate of that type, that is, practically in one piece. To this end, the shaft sheeting box consists of a trench plate on each longitudinal shaft wall and shaft plates which are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the trench plates connected to the adjoining trench sheeting boxes, in such a way that they cannot move. The shaft plates are therefore positioned cross-wise to the longitudinal direction of the trench and the trench plates and are relatively narrow compared to the trench plates.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for representing precise or imprecise measurements of similarity/dissimilarity (relationships) between objects as distances between points in a multi-dimensional space that represents the objects. Self-organizing principles are used to iteratively refine an initial (random or partially ordered) configuration of points using stochastic relationship/distance errors. The data can be complete or incomplete (i.e. some relationships between objects may not be known), exact or inexact (i.e. some or all of the relationships may be given in terms of allowed ranges or limits), symmetric or asymmetric (i.e. the relationship of object A to object B may not be the same as the relationship of B to A) and may contain systematic or stochastic errors. The relationships between objects may be derived directly from observation, measurement, a priori knowledge, or intuition, or may be determined indirectly using any suitable technique for deriving proximity (relationship) data.

Abstract: This invention provides a safe and efficient method of
dismantling used lithium ion batteries. More specifically,
the plastic cases which protect sealed battery cells are removed
from the system in a stable and reliable fashion. Valuable
materials such as lithium cobalt oxide, an oxide of a
lithium-transition metal compound, aluminum and copper must
be separated and recovered. The invention is distinguished by
the fact that it entails the following processes. In the
crushing process, the batteries are chilled to a temperature
of -50° C or lower. In this state they are repeatedly subjected
to vibration and pressure by a number of objects whose rigidity
and specific gravity are greater than those of the plastic.
In this way the batteries are separated into sealed battery
cells and plastic cases. In the heating process, the sealed
battery cells separated in the process are heated to a
temperature of at least 200° C in a non-oxidizing atmosphere
to separate mainly the organic materials. Finally, in one or
more separation processes, the useless materials are removed
and the targeted valuable materials are separated in a
sequential fashion from the crushed fragments produced in the
crushing process.
