Patent EP-1182836-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI HIROSHI
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1993-09-16
Abstract: The present invention is an adaptive equalizing receiver and a maximum likelihood sequence estimating receiver that compensate deterioration of transmission characteristics. A transmission line estimating circuit (5) estimates an impulse response of a transmission line with a received signal. A switch (7) selectively supplies an output of an adaptive equalizing circuit (10) that adaptively equalizes the received signal or an output of a code deciding circuit (9) that decides the code of the received signal and outputs the signal corresponding to the estimated impulse response. A number-of-tap variable type adaptive filter adaptive equalizes the received signal. A number-of-tap setting means controls the number of taps of the adaptive filter corresponding to the impulse response estimated. A transversal matched filter and a status estimating circuit that performs maximum likelihood estimation for a transmitted symbol sequence with an output of the transversal matched filter adaptive equalize the received signal. The number-of-tap setting means controls the number of taps of the matched filter and the number of statuses to be considered for the status estimating circuit corresponding to the estimated impulse response. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image storage and display system transmits required
image data such as original image data and irreversible
compressed image data expediently. Original image data input to
the image server from the input modality is subjected to a data
compression process by the server computer ad irreversible
compressed image data having a decompression ratio of 1/20, 1/50,
etc. is thereby produced. In this way, three versions of image
data, original image data, and two irreversible compressed image
data having different compression ratios are created for a single
image and stored in a temporary storage medium. A request is
issued from a workstation, connected to the image server via a
network, for transmission of the version of image data to be
acquired, and the requested image data is read out from the
temporary storage medium, transmitted to the workstation and
displayed on a monitor.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling resistance welding defines a weld
time for series welding as a plurality of (e.g., two) weld periods. In one
embodiment, a control (56) successively switches a bidirectional switch (30) in a
first polarity during the first weld period so that welding current flows
through workpieces of different metals in one direction by passing
through a series of welding points of the workpieces. In the second weld
period, the control (56) successively switches the bidirectional switch (30) in the
reversed polarity so that welding current flows through the workpieces in
the other direction so as to compensate for Peltier effect on the welding
points. A polarity changing technique is used to minimize welding
energy loss in shifting weld periods for better weld quality. In another
embodiment, thyristors (66,68) are controlled such that they are fired in the
second half cycle of the supply voltage (E) at an angle smaller than the
firing angle in the first half cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the sterilisation of objects. It comprises passing
an aqueous solution of ozone having a known ozone concentration through a
flow cell, in which an object to be sterilised is placed. Then the ozone concentration
in the water that has passed the flow cell is measured. Finally the difference between
the ozone concentration of the water that has passed the flow cell and the
known ozone concentration, respectively, is used as a measure of the amount of
contaminants, e.g. bacteria and other living matter present on said object, and
thereby the degree of achieved sterilisation. The procedure is terminated when said
difference in ozone concentration has reached a predetermined value.
