Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method of determining the sky-view factor at a location. The method comprises the steps of receiving data from at least one global positioning satellite at the location, and comparing the data so obtained with a mathematical function. The function is derived from corresponding data obtained from reference locations at which the sky view factor is known, whereby to arrive at an approximation of the sky view factor at said location. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for predicting the variation in temperatures over time at locations along a survey route, particularly a road network. The method comprises the steps of establishing a database for the survey route containing location specific geographical parameters, obtaining actual and forecast meteorological data and separately predicting the temperature at each location using energy balance equations. The predicted temperature calculated for each location is dependent upon the meteorological data and the geographical parameters for the location whose temperature is being predicted. The invention also discloses systems which relate to the above methods.

Abstract: A releasable medical device connector (10) comprises a connector fitting with a spin nut which connects to an adaptor. The connector fitting has at least one radially extending member (34) with a variable radius cross section. The spin nut (50) is disposed upon the connector fitting proximal of the radially extending member and is both axially slidable and rotatable upon the elongated body (20) of the connector fitting. A screw thread within a proximal portion of the spin nut is used to secure the tapering portion of the connector fitting to an external thread disposed upon the adaptor. To release the connector, the spin nut is unscrewed from the adaptor and slid so that a distal receptacle of the spin nut engages the radially extending member of the connector fitting.

Abstract: To enable the detection of an accelerating condition from the phase of a crankshaft and an induction air pressure so as to obtain an acceleration feeling that corresponds to the accelerating condition so detected. <??>A stroke condition is detected from'a rotational angle of the crankshaft and an induction air pressure, and a differential pressure between induction pipe pressures detected at a predetermined crank angle on an exhaust stroke and an induction stroke and induction pipe pressures resulting at the same crank angle on the same strokes is calculated as an induction air pressure difference  DELTA PA-MAN. Then, the induction air pressure difference  DELTA PA-MAN so calculated is compared with a threshold set each crank angle, and when the induction air pressure difference  DELTA PA-MAN is equal to or larger than the threshold, an accelerating condition is determined to be occurring, and fuel in acceleration is immediately added to a steady-state fuel injection amount for injection. The steady-state fuel injection amount is obtained by detecting an induction air amount from an induction air pressure. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the accelerating condition and the induction air amount, a volume from a throttle valve to an induction port is made equal to or smaller than the volume of the stroke of a cylinder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cancellation of echoes in telecommunications systems, more specifically it relates to adaptive alignment of a linear filter ( 500 ) used for echo cancellation. According to the invention, it is continuously determined, by means of control logic ( 520 ), if a reflection replica delay included in an echo replica signal (110), which delay is provided by a signal buffer ( 510 ), should be attempted to be increased or not. Similarly, it is continuously determined if the reflection replica delay should be attempted to be decreased or not. In this way it is possible to provide a delay of the reflection replica which corresponds to the pure delay of a corresponding reflection included in an echo signal (120) received over an echo path. The invention is advantageous since the filter ( 500 ) will continuously and quickly adapt to changes in the echo path delay by continuously increasing or decreasing, in an incremental and smooth manner, a present replica delay.

Abstract: A method for testing the error ratio BER of a device under test against a specified allowable error ratio comprises the steps: measuring ns samples of the output of the device, thereby detecting ne erroneous samples of these ns samples, defining BER(ne)=ne/ns as the preliminary error ratio and deciding to pass the device, if the preliminary error ratio BER(ne) is smaller than an early pass limit EPL(ne). The early pass limit is constructed by using an empirically or analytically derived distribution for a specific number of devices each having the specified allowable error ratio by separating a specific portion DD of the best devices from the distribution for a specific number of erroneous samples ne and proceeding further with the remaining part of the distribution for an incremented number of erroneous samples. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for rapidly controlling the frequency of a radio-receiver which receives signal-sequences which have been subjected to interference and which include a synchronizing-sequence and a data sequence. The signal-sequence is converted in an A/D-converter to provide signal-points (ET) which are intended for analysis, and a Viterbi-algorithm (10) is adapted (12,13) with the aid of adaptation signals (U1<K>) obtained from the synchronizing-sequence of the prevailing interferences. The data-sequence is Viterbi-analyzed through a large number of calculating stages, for the purpose of determining the bit-sequence (S1) of the data-sequence. According to the invention the signal-point (ET) is branched-up to branch-signal points (ET), the number of which is equal to the number of states of the Viterbi-algorithm (10). Each individual branch-signal point is phase-shifted (20) to a corrected signal-point (ET,1) and is compared (21) with its adaptation signal (U1<K>), which has separate (K) signal points. Distances ( DELTA ST,1<K>) and angular deviations ( DELTA  phi T,1<K>) are calculated between the corrected signal-point (ET,1) and the adaptation-signal (U1<K>) signal points. A transition (K<1>) is selected through the Viterbi-algorithm (10), with the aid of the distances ( DELTA ST,1<K >) and the angular deviation ( DELTA phi T,1<K>,) corresponding thereto is selected (22). Selected angular deviations ( DELTA  phi T,1<K>) for successive incoming signal-points (ET) are low-pass filtered and integrated (22) to form a phase correction signal (V) through which the phase of the successively incoming branch-signal points (ET) are shifted (20). Corresponding phase correction signals are calculated for the remaining states of the Viterbi-algorithm (10).
