Patent EP-1288457-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAMAZAKI HIDEHARU
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: There is provided a temperature control system (1)
for a humidity sensor (18,30), which is capable of eliminating
impurities attached to a sensor element of the sensor
efficiently and sufficiently while preventing the
sensor element from being cracked due to heat generated
by a heater (19,35) in a state of condensation formed thereon,
and suppressing attachment of impurities to the sensor
element, thereby making it possible to preserve an
excellent detection accuracy of the humidity sensor.
The temperature control system (1) controls the temperature
of the sensor element of the humidity sensor arranged
in an exhaust pipe for detecting humidity within the
exhaust pipe. A heater (19,35) heats the sensor element (18,30). The
temperature of the sensor element is detected. When
the detected temperature of the sensor element is
higher than a predetermined temperature, said heater (19,35) is
operated.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for
providing hitless protection switching in a transmission
systems which support a standardised implementation of
virtual concatenation. A switching apparatus is arranged
to receive data signals on at least two transmission paths
and to output data from a selected one of said
transmission paths. The apparatus is arranged to align
the respective received data signals so that a selector
mechanism can select between corresponding elements of the
received data signals. This arrangement allows hitless
switching to be performed since there is no loss or
repetition of signal elements when switching occurs. In a
preferred embodiment, data in respect of each frame of
each data signal is stored and the selector mechanism
selects between paths on a frame-by-frame basis by
comparing quality information carried by the data signals.
This arrangement offers a very low end to end Bit Error
Rate (BER) performance. The invention is suitable for both
synchronous and non-synchronous networks (for example,
OTN)which implement standardised virtual concatenation.

Abstract: The present invention provide a transmission system
comprising a transmission apparatus for transmitting audio data
of multi channels and auxiliary data required for playback of the
audio data, and a receiving apparatus for receiving the audio data
and the auxiliary data which are transmitted by the transmission
apparatus. A multiplexer of the transmission apparatus creates
block data that is composed of 8 frames, and first 1 byte of each
frame is allocated to a header having Sync, OE and the like, the
second byte is allocated to the auxiliary data including AUX data
and copyright protect information, and remaining bytes are used
to transmit the audio data. An encryptor carries out an encryption
process for the second and later bytes of each frame, and a
communication means outputs encrypted data. A communication
means of the receiving apparatus receives the encrypted data from
the transmission apparatus, a decoder decodes the encrypted data,
and a demultiplexex demultiplexes the audio data and the auxiliary
data. Therefore, this transmission system transmits multichannel
audio data of the DVD-Audio or the like efficiently on
a transmission line using fixed length frames according to the
MOST method, and takes measures for copyright protection of audio
data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the authoritativeness of a document
based on textual, non-topical cues. The authoritativeness of a document is determined
by evaluating a set of document content features contained within each document to
determine a set of document content feature values, processing the set of document
content feature values through a trained document textual authority model, and
determining a textual authoritativeness value and/or textual authority class for each
document evaluated using the predictive models included in the trained document
textual authority model. Estimates of a document's textual authoritativeness value
and/or textual authority class can be used to re-rank documents previously retrieved
by a search, to expand and improve document query searches, to provide a more
complete and robust determination of a document's authoritativeness, and to improve
