Abstract: Techniques permettant de conférer une capacité d'exploitation normale et de restauration de service en cas de défaillance de l'équipement terminal ou des supports de transmission dans un réseau hétérogène, tel qu'un réseau hybride contenant des systèmes de télécommunications optique à une seule ou plusieurs longueurs d'onde. Un noeud de commutation optique ou OSN (120, 120a-d) est placé au niveau de chaque noeud dans le réseau en anneau (110) de sorte que les connexions requises soient fournies entre les diverses fibres (55) et l'équipement terminal (50, 50a-d), ledit noeud ayant des états de commutation permettant aux signaux sur les fibres de protection de contourner l'équipement terminal au niveau de ce noeud. Les signaux commutés en anneau se propagent sur l'anneau par les fibres de protection (55adp', 55dap') sans rencontrer l'équipement terminal au niveau des noeuds d'intervention. Dans la mesure où les liaisons par fibres entre toute paire donnée de noeuds sont incapables de prendre en charge tous les régimes de communication appropriés, lesdites liaisons sont modifiées pour permettre cette prise en charge.

Inventor: KRAFKA PETER DR-ING
IPC: H02M7/5387
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: The method is carried out in steps. In a first step are determined, the condition of the inverter (1), the instantaneous stator phase current, the mean value of the intermediate circuit (2) DC voltage and the instantaneous duration of the ON position of the inverter switch command across the last scanning time. In a second step results a determining of the ideal inverter output voltage from the duration of the inverter switch command. The commands are corrected at the voltage and-or current dependent commuting delay times, depending on an off or on position and the current polarity. In a third step the determining of actual inverter output voltage takes account of voltage drops of semiconductor valves of the inverter. In a fourth step results a space vector transformation of the actual inverter output voltages to the stator voltage space vector.

Abstract: A vehicle propel system is disclosed, including a hydrostatic transmission having wheel
motors (37L,37R) and a variable displacement pump (39), variable in response to a pump
displacement command signal (51). The system involves determining (67) anticipated motor
flow, and generating a signal (69) corresponding thereto. A pressure command signal (77)
corresponds to the desired pump pressure. Actual motor flow is sensed (75), and a processor
(49) calculates pump flow and compares it to actual motor flow (75) to determine system
leakage (107). The processor then modifies the anticipated motor flow signal (69) to
compensate for system leakage (107), and generates the appropriate pump displacement
command signal (51). The use of feed-forward terms, such as anticipated motor flow (69),
pump speed and commanded pressure times leakage gain to calculate desired pump
displacement allow a lesser gain to be used for the feedback term (measured pump pressure
59), thereby reducing "wheel hop".

IPC: H04N5/932
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: Synchronizing pulses are generated based on horizontal
synchronizing signals carried by an input television (TV) signal. A first pulse
is generated at the same timing as each of the synchronizing signals. A
control pulse is generated in response to the first pulse. The generation of
the first pulse is controlled so that it depends on a width of the control pulse.
The first pulse is output, in response to the first pulse, as each of the
synchronizing pulses at the same timing as the horizontal synchronizing
signals. The control pulse is shifted for a period of time by which one of the
horizontal synchronizing signals has been shifted. One of the synchronizing
pulses is thus shifted for the period of time. The synchronizing pulse
corresponds to the shifted horizontal synchronizing signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for Disk Scheduling and Non-Linear Video Editing
includes the processing of simultaneous read requests and write requests of a
storage device in the presence of real time requirements that are associated with
these requests. The method includes constructing a storage device data
structure with a plurality of partitions that correspond to a plurality of seek paths,
with the storage device data structure storing both read and write requests. The
read requests are assigned read request deadlines based at least in part on a
user desired response time for handling the read requests. The write requests
are assigned write request deadlines based at least in part on the capacity of the
write buffer. The write buffer stores data associated with write requests until the
data is written to the storage device. The read and write requests are placed
within the storage device data structure based at least in part on the read request
deadlines and write request deadlines, such that a optimal seek path is
maintained for each of the plurality of partitions while minimizing violations of the
read request deadlines and write request deadlines. The invention may be
applicable for use as a storage device access scheduler of the supporting video
on demand and non-linear editing of a storage device in the presence of real time
requirements that are associated with the read requests and write requests of
video on demand and non-linear editing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de régulation de l'évaporation de liquide dans des échantillons se trouvant dans une centrifugeuse d'évaporation, le procédé consistant à contrôler la force centrifuge exercée sur un porte-échantillon contenant un échantillon liquide comprenant une matière solide dissoute ou mélangée. On détermine la force centrifuge grâce à une cellule de mesure (19) ou à un tensiomètre ou alors, lorsque le déplacement relatif entre le porte-échantillon (4) et le rotor (54) est possible même avec un dispositif de retenue élastique, le signal de force centrifuge peut être généré par un transducteur de détection de position. La vitesse de rotation est détectée par un autre transducteur et les signaux de force et de vitesse sont transmis à un dispositif de calcul (54) programmé pour générer un signal de commande de processus destiné à réguler le processus d'évaporation. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on détermine le taux de changement de poids avec le temps et on arrête le processus d'évaporation lorsque le taux de changement tombe à zéro. On facilite l'évaporation en chauffant les échantillons et les signaux de régulation de processus déterminent non seulement la vitesse de rotation, mais aussi le chauffage des échantillons. On peut calculer un signal de pesée à partir du signal de force par référence au signal de vitesse qui est proportionnel à la force centrifuge agissant sur le porte-échantillon et donc sur l'échantillon. On peut calculer un signal indiquant le poids de l'échantillon lui-même en déduisant du poids combiné du porte-échantillon et de l'échantillon, un signal représentant le poids du porte-échantillon lui-même. Différents liquides s'évaporent à des vitesses différentes et un déséquilibre peut se produire comme entre différents échantillons se trouvant autour d'un rotor. On peut réduire des forces de déséquilibre provoquées par des taux d'évaporation différentiels au moyen d'un chemin de roulement (22) monté sur le rotor, ou rotor de commande de broche, partiellement rempli de roulements à billes (24) qui, pendant la rotation, se répartissent dans le chemin de roulement pour contrer les forces de déséquilibre.

Abstract: A system for manipulating a heart during cardiac surgery links lifting of the heart and regional immobilization which stops one part of the heart from moving to allow expeditious suturing while permitting other parts of the heart to continue to function whereby coronary surgery can be performed on a beating heart while maintaining cardiac output unabated and uninterrupted. Circumflex coronary artery surgery can be performed using the system for manipulating a heart during cardiac surgery of the present invention. The system is an improvement on the retractor disclosed in parent application Serial Number 08/936,184 filed on 09/17/97 and locates a suspension head near the apical region of the heart and a gross support near the base of the heart near the AV groove. A frame is positioned within the patient's thoracic region and moves with the patient, and a surgical target immobilizer can be used to assist in the movement of the heart if desired. A special suction cup is used which accommodates multiplanar movement of the heart and the myocardium while also preventing heart tissue from interrupting the suction being applied to the heart. One form of the system can be used in minimally invasive surgery.
