Patent EP-0809421-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TEGGATZ ROSS E
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 1997-05-21
Abstract: A method of improving efficiency in a boost regulator circuit includes the steps of transferring energy stored in a load to an energy storage component and transferring energy back from the energy storage component to the load. This method may be actuated in a boost regulator circuit having a first energy storage component, means for initiating and discontinuing energy storage in the first energy storage component, a capacitive load, a bidirectional drive circuit coupled to the first energy storage component, a second energy storage component coupled to the drive circuit, and means for transferring energy between the capacitive load and the second energy storage component, wherein when the voltage having a first polarity across the capacitive load reaches a predetermined voltage it transfers the energy in the capacitive load to the second energy storage component and subsequently transfers the energy back to the capacitive load in the second polarity, thereby conserving energy and substantially reducing power consumption of the boost regulator circuit.

Inventor: KIM YONG-JE
IPC: H04N9/79
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: In a digital video signal processor for compressing a digital video signal and recording the compressed signal, a black-and-white signal detector (210) determines whether the digital video signal is a black-and-white signal and outputs a detection signal when it is determined that the digital video signal is a black-and-white signal. A block processor (220) shuffles the digital video signal from the black-and-white signal detector by predetermined block units. A signal compressor (250) compresses the shuffled video signal output by the block processor (220). A modulator (270) modulates the compressed video signal output by the signal compressor (250) and a black-and-white signal information. A controller (230) generates a compression control signal to output to the signal compressor (250) and outputs the black-and-white signal information to the modulator (270) in response to the detection signal. When the compression control signal is received, the signal compressor (250) transform-encodes the shuffled video signal such that a color component is encoded only with a DC coefficient. As a result, a black-and-white video signal can be recorded with a higher-resolution.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to calculate the CRC-32 (Cyclic
Redundancy Checking) codes of a bit stream while improving
the process time and simple to implement. The CRC-32
calculation is used for FCS (Frame Check Sequence) error
checking code of bit stream messages sent over a fixed size
packet networks when the high speeds require reducing the
processing time in the network access nodes. This CRC-32
calculation is also used for FCS checking in the network
equipment receiving said packetized bit stream messages. This
invention applies particularly to messages conveyed via AAL5
type cells in ATM networks. 
     The principle of the invention consists in replacing the CRC-32
per byte computation of the prior art by a simple per byte
CRC-R computation followed by a one pass CRC-32 computation
of the R bit stream, result of the CRC-R computation. The
CRC-R codes being generated by a M(X), a polynomial of
degree R, multiplier of the generator polynomial of degree
32,
 (X)= X 32 +X 26 +X 23 +X 22 +X 16 +X 12     +X 11 +X 10 +X 8 +X 7 +X 5 +X 4 +X 2 +X+1,

codes.

Abstract: An electrical circuit interrupter (10) comprising a housing (14, 18) with an
operating mechanism (63) disposed therein and including first and second
separable main contacts (62, 64) disposed within the housing is taught. There is an
electrically conducting first contact support (68) which has a shape which
substantially doubles back upon itself and which has parallel, spaced apart first and
second legs forming a central region. An electrically insulating support member
(246) is supplied which is disposed in the central region and has a substantial
portion outboard of the central region in a disposition to shield a portion of the
contact support member. It also has a portion (260, 268) which captures the first
contact support member (68). In addition, magnetic plates (78) are disposed within
the central region for cooperating with other closed loop magnetic plates (74)
outside of the support member for providing a slot motor action for the movable
contact. An arc runner (88) is provided which is trapped between the support
member (246) and the contact support conductor (68). All of this is disposed upon
a protrusion (308) in the housing of the circuit breaker and held in place by way of a
securing device (310). Lastly, a mandrel (291) is provided for supporting the
forementioned external magnetic plates (74). The mandrel is gas evolving so that
under the influence of the heat of an electrical arc it evolves gas which helps to
push the arc out and away from the opening contacts. The aforementioned gas
propels the formed arc outwardly away from the contacts in an effort to cool and
interrupt the arc.

Abstract: A signal router includes a free space region with input and output sides. A number
of input and output waveguide arms extend from the respective input and output sides of
the free space region. At least a subset of the input or output waveguide arms are
configured such that a signal applied to one of the waveguide arms excites multiple modes
of that waveguide arm. Coupling between the multiple modes of the various waveguide
arms is used to shape a multi-channel output radiation pattern of the router. The
excitation of multiple modes may be provided by configuring a given waveguide arm to
include a first portion and a second portion, with the second portion arranged between the
first portion and a side of the free space region and having a width which is greater than
a width of the first portion. Alternatively, the excitation of multiple modes may be
provided by including one or more auxiliary waveguide arms between a given pair of main
input or output waveguide arms. In either case, a desired multi-channel radiation pattern
for a given router may be provided by altering characteristics of the waveguide arms.

Abstract: A counterpulsation device that operates without the use of compressed air or pressurized gas includes at least one inflatable cuff that is adapted to be placed about a selected portion of the patient's body. A conduit (16) connects the inflatable cuff to an air transfer device (14) so that noncompressed air can be transferred from the air transfer device to the cuff through the conduit to inflate the cuff. The conduit also connects the cuff to the air transfer device so that air can flow through the conduit to deflate the cuff. Another conduit (31) is coupled to the first so that the air in the system can be selectively vented into the atmosphere. A series of valves (58, 60) are placed on the conduit to selectively control whether air is supplied to or withdrawn from the inflatable cuff. The air moving device preferably is a cylinder (30) having a piston (32) that moves through the cylinder to move the air from within the cylinder through the conduit and into or out of the cuff as desired. The piston moves through the cylinder through the use of a linear servo actuator (33) that is controlled by an appropriately programmed electronic controller (2) so that the inflation of the cuff is timed with portions of the patient's EKG signal and peripheral plethysmographic wave.
