Title: Bit detection method and device
Inventor: COENE WILLEM M J M
IPC: H03M5/14
Filed: 2003-09-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a bit detection method for detecting the bit values of bits of a channel data stream stored on a record carrier, wherein the channel data stream resides on an N-dimensional lattice of bits and comprises a plurality of contiguous bit units, each bit unit comprising at least one bit, wherein bit detection for the channel data stream is performed by an iterative procedure, each iteration being carried out on the basis of said bit units, wherein the bit values of the bits of a bit unit are detected by said iterative procedure based on the received HF signal values of the bits of said bit unit. The proposed method comprises an initialisation step, an updating step and an iteration such the method the bits are detected in an iterative but non-recursive way which allow for a high level of parallel processing in the implementation. In the proposed bit detection method, an evaluation criterion is used which is based on the difference between the received HF-signal and a reference HF-signal for each bit of a bit unit consisting of a plurality of bits, where the reference HF-signal depends on the bit value of the bit to be updated, and on its neighbouring bits, for which bit decisions in a previous iteration step are used. Thus, a high capacity, in particular in two-dimensional optical storage, can be achieved which substantially improves the performance of a threshold detector. Hence, the bit detection method according to the invention does not prohibit implementations aimed for high data-rates.

Title: Device for automatically injecting an active agent
Inventor: HOMMANN EDGAR
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2003-11-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a syringe (50) filled with an active agent (50) and having an injection needle (37), said syringe being displaceable in a receiving part (16) by the tension of a spring. A transmission part (5) displaceable by at least one spring (11) traverses a first partial path (54) for sticking the injection needle (37) and a second partial path (55) for emptying the active agent. The at least one spring (11) acts between the transmission part (5) and an intermediate part (10) and another spring (9) acts between the intermediate part (10) and a supporting part (8) that is fixedly connected to the receiving part (16). An indicating device (12) that is visible from the outside is connected to the intermediate part (10). The indicating device (12) that is visible through a transparent part (51) moves only during the second partial course and traverses a path (56) that is substantially smaller than the sum of both partial strokes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a present
value of the capacity level of a hydraulic crane (1) provided with
a lifting cylinder (8), the present value of the capacity level being
determined by means of a processing unit (33). The initiation

cylinder during the lifting cycle or the lowest cylinder force of
the lifting cylinder during the lifting cycle. For at least some of
the lifting cycles, the processing unit (33) determines the present
value of the capacity level of the crane taking into account
a control value (V C ) corresponding to:
     the minimum value registered for the previous lifting cycle, or   the lowest one of the minimum value registered for the previous
lifting cycle and the minimum value registered for the present
lifting cycle.   
     The invention also relates to a hydraulic crane (1) comprising

Abstract: A trouble determining apparatus for a chopper type DC boosting
circuit capable of determining whether or not a switching device
is in trouble securely and quickly and when the switching circuit
is in trouble, preventing other circuit from being in a trouble.
Upon determining a short-circuit trouble of a transistor Q, aboosting
circuit control unit 22 is turned OFF a power relay RL and then
determines whether or not a voltage VP1 of a connecting point P1
rises over a first set voltage VS1 by the time when a first
predetermined time t1 elapses since an ignition switch IG is turned
ON with the transistor Q set to OFF. Upon determining an open trouble
of the transistor Q, the boosting circuit control unit 22 determines
whether or not the voltage VP1 of the connecting point P1 falls
below a second set voltage by the time when a second predetermined
time t2 elapses since the transistor Q is turned ON with the power
relay RL set to OFF and whether or not the voltage VP1 falls from
a state before the transistor Q is turned ON by more than a third
set voltage.

Abstract: A sketch-based change detection technique is introduced for anomaly detection and other
applications that can benefit from having a quick and efficient change detection mechanism. The
technique is capable of detecting significant changes in massive data streams with a large
number of network time series. As part of the technique, we designed a variant of the sketch data
structure, called k-ary sketch, uses a constant, small amount of memory, and has constant per-record
update and reconstruction cost. A variety of time series forecast models are implemented
on top of such summaries and detect significant changes by looking for flows with large forecast
errors. Heuristics for automatically configuring the forecast model parameters are presented.
Real Internet traffic data is used to demonstrate that the sketch-based change detection method is
highly accurate when compared with per-flow analysis, and can be implemented at low
computation and memory costs. The results validate using the technique as a building block for
network anomaly detection and traffic measurement in large computer networks.

Abstract: It is provided a tool and its operating procedure, to protect any device while lowering into a well, and especially hydraulic devices such as sensors with expandable arms or inflatable elements such as packers. 
     The protection is mainly important in the open hole of highly deviated or horizontal wells, for any device equipped with external seal element, delicate sensor or articulated parts. 
     This tool features an automatic sequence controlled by a single dart or a single ball launched into the running string from the surface: when the dart or the ball lands on its seat, the pressure build-up is initially applied to a piston to extract the device from the protector without exposing it to any differential pressure, then it is automatically applied to the device itself for actuation as soon as the device is entirely pulled out of the protector.
