Patent EP-1392017-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CLAUSSEN HOLGER
IPC: H03M13/25
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: A radio telecommunications system is provided operative to
communicate digital data symbols with multilevel-coded modulation using
higher than quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) in a multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) transmit environment. The system comprises a
transmitter (1) and a receiver (2). 
     The transmitter (1) contains a means to split the data into a first
block of more significant bits of symbols and a second block of less
significant bits of symbols which are then separately encoded (a,b) and
interleaved (c,c') for modulation by a modulator (d). This transmitter
performs multilevel-coded modulation to provide a layered encoding
scheme that enables unequal error protection for the transmitted bits. 
     The receiver (2) is operative to receive the multilevel-coded
modulated signal via multiple-transmit antennas by iterative
determination of soft estimates of bits followed by a hard decision as
to what bit was intended. The receiver (2) comprises a first processor
(3) operative to provide first soft estimates of bits of the received
signal, and a second processor (13) operative to decode the first soft
estimates and to provide second soft estimates of the bits. The receiver
(2) also comprises a first combiner (11') operative to provide adapted
first soft estimates to the second processor (13), the adapted first
soft estimates of each bit being dependent upon the respective first
soft estimate and a respective previous first soft estimate. The
receiver (2) also comprises a second combiner (17) operative to provide
third soft estimates back to the first processor for subsequent further
decoding, the third soft estimates of each bit being dependent upon the
respective second soft estimate and a respective previous second soft
estimate.

Abstract: A toothed wheel (10) of a chain transmission for a bicycle
is described, intended to be coupled with a further
toothed wheel (3) with a smaller diameter in a group of
toothed wheels integral in rotation. The toothed wheel
(10) comprises a plurality of teeth (13) which follow each
other on the toothed wheel (10) separated by spaces (14)
according to a direction of rotation (R) of the toothed
wheel (10), in which each tooth (13) has a thickness, a
width and a height and has a lead side (31), a following
side (32), a front side (33) and a rear side (34). The
toothed wheel (10) is characterised in that it comprises at
least one among:
     a front bevel (50) on at least one tooth of first
disengagement (13ps) of said plurality of teeth (13), such
a front bevel (50) extending between the front side (33)
and the lead side (31);   a rear bevel (60) on at least one tooth of last
engagement (13ua) of said plurality of teeth (13), such a
rear bevel (60) extending between the rear side (34) and
the following side (32).   
     Each of the two bevels (50, 60) contributes to easing the

as to guarantee completion of the operation in the worst
operating condition of the memory device within the fixed
duration (T F (i)); the sum of the fixed durations (T F (i)) being
equal to the data access time (T A ) of the memory device.

Title: Joint prosthesis
Inventor: DELFOSSE DANIEL
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a joint prosthesis, especially a knee joint prosthesis, for establishing an articulated connection between a first bone and at least one second bone. The inventive prosthesis comprises a first component (1) that is at least indirectly linked with the first bone, at least one second component (2) on which the second bone at least indirectly supports itself and which is movably mounted on at least one bearing surface (22) of the first component (1), and a connecting element (4) that interlinks the first component (1) with the second component (2). The connecting element (4) comprises an elastically deformable element (5) that facilitates a deflection of the first component (1) relative to the second component (2) from an initial position. When the first component (1) is deflected, the elastically deformable element (5) generates a restoring force that acts upon the first component (1) and restores the first component (1) to the initial position.

IPC: B65D55/02
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A tamper evident closure ( 1 ) includes a housing ( 5 ) containing a blister pack ( 2 ) and a substrate ( 3 ), wherein the blister pack ( 2 ) contains a first reagent which is visible prior to first opening and the substrate ( 3 ) contains a second reagent. First opening of the closure ruptures the blister pack thereby exposing the first reagent to the second reagent and effecting a reaction that causes a visual change that signals the closure has been opened. The tamper evident closure of the present invention is primarily intended to be used as an anti-counterfeit measure on a spirit or pharmaceutical bottle. In the preferred embodiment, the closure incorporates a liquid that when brought into contact with a reagent chemical contained in an absorbent pad, effects an irreversible color change. This color change will indicate to a consumer the bottle has been previously opened or tampered with. The design makes it very difficult for a counterfeiter to cover up or eradicate the visible effects. In particular, the only way a counterfeiter could do this would be to put in a replacement blister and an absorbent pad. Filling a blister pack with a liquid is a highly specialist task which makes replication very difficult. The ability to control the color change to complement the branded goods provides a way of building up consumer recognition of the product and thereby establishing confidence in those products that carry the tamper evident closure of the present invention.

Abstract: A patient care system (90) comprising an interface unit (100), an infusion pump unit (150a), and a capnography unit (150b) is disclosed. The infusion pump unit (150a) is used to administer medical fluids to a patient, including the administration of anesthethics, analgesics, or sedatives. The capnography unit (150b) provides monitoring of the patient's expired air, in particular, the end tidal CO 2  levels in the expired air and the respiration rate. When the capnography unit (150b) indicates to the interface unit that the end tidal CO 2  level and/or pulse rate has reached a point outside a specified range, the interface unit (100) initiates visual and audio alarms and controls the infusion pump unit (150a) by modifying the flow or by shutting off the pump unit. In patient controlled analgesia applications, the interface unit (100) may block patient-controlled bolus doses of the analgesic until reset by a qualified medical professional or until the measured capnography values return to a normal range. The interface unit (100) also contains communication ports, which the interface unit can use to send signals to external devices, such as to alert medical personnel.
