Abstract: A time reference point can be determined in a radio system by sending a synchronization sequence s(i), i=0, . . . N−1, from transmitter X, 40 to receiver Y, 48, and by detecting the peak value at the output of a matched-filter, 44, h(i)=s(N−1-i) on Y. In practical systems the accuracy of this peak detection is limited by interference and noise on the radio channel. To increase the peak detection accuracy, we propose to repeat the transmission of the same synchronization sequence K times. The interval L between repetitions is constant and the amplitude of the synchronization sequence in each repetition varies according to a given variation pattern a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. The receiver Y, 48 knows L and a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. After comparison to a threshold, the matched-filter 44 at the receiver 48 may deliver peaks resulted from repeatedly received synchronization sequences or peaks caused by interference and/or noise.

Abstract: A matrix display device (60) comprises an array of pixels for producing a display output in response to drive signal voltages using an inversion drive scheme. Display artefacts, especially flicker, are corrected for by connecting together, in parallel, two pixels (31), previously addressed with respective drive signal voltages of opposite polarity, and measuring a residual voltage caused by a difference in charge stored on the two pixels due to a DC offset present in the pixels. The measured voltage is used to modify subsequent drive signal voltages for the pixels in order to reduce the measured voltage, i.e. towards zero, thus reducing display artefacts caused by the DC offset inthe pixels. The invention is particularly applicable to transmissive type liquid crystal display devices.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for processing specimens, e.g., biological specimens, to extract samples for both liquid (i.e., extracellular) and slide-based (i.e., intracellular) testing. Both types of samples can be obtained from a single fluid specimen. A fluid sampling station removes fluid from a specimen container and places it in a sample receptacle. A specimen acquisition station removes fluid from the container, separates particulate matter (e.g., cells) from the removed fluid, and forms a sample layer of particulate matter, which is transferred to a slide. The two sampling operations can be carried out in any order. The fluid sample receptacle may have a special one-way valve arrangement. The apparatus can be automated so as to process multiple fluid specimens in their respective containers. The machine according to this invention is a "platform instrument" that can produce all required liquid samples and slide-based samples for essentially all cytopathology tests.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include a housing, a contact, a secondary lock, a grommet, a backplate, a bolt, a contact removal tool, and a splash guard. The housing includes openings which receive the contacts. The grommets are positioned in cavities at the rear of the housing. The housing and backplate are designed so that the grommets are subjected to compressive forces in order to enhance the sealing characteristic of the grommets. As the contact is inserted, a locking tab engages an opening in the contact and prevents the contact from being removed from the housing. The secondary locks will increase the retention of the contact in the electrical connector. In addition, the secondary lock may include a feature which permits the partial insertion and retention of the secondary lock prior to insertion of the contact. The secondary lock also assures that the contacts have been properly inserted. The electrical connector may also include a splash guard which would assist in deflecting water from the rear of the electrical connector. The electrical connector may also include a removal tool which may be used to remove contacts from the electrical connector. The removal tool can be stored in the backplate or the housing.

Abstract: In a statistics system for online console-based gaming, a user's rating is
added to the system by inserting an identifier of the user into an appropriate
location in a rating table. The user is also assigned to one of multiple rating
groups, and a count of users associated with that rating group is modified
accordingly. A relative position of the user in the assigned rating group is also
associated with the user, and the relative positions of any other users assigned to
that same rating group are modified accordingly. A user's ranking is retrieved by
identifying which of the multiple rating groups the user is assigned to and
generating a count of how many users are assigned to groups with higher rating
ranges than the user's group. The user's relative position within the user's group is
then added to the count to generate the ranking of the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus and methods for fabricating a web or
consolidating web precursor material in fabricating a web. The invention comprises
ultrasonic bonding apparatus including an anvil roll (20) receiving web materials
thereon and receiving first (24a) and second (24b) rotary ultrasonic horns. The rotary
ultrasonic horns (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d), in combination with the anvil roll, ultrasonically
bond segments of e.g. first and second webs to each other. Third (24c) and fourth
(24d) rotary ultrasonic horns spaced about the circumference of the anvil roll, in
combination with the anvil roll, ultrasonically bond other segments of the webs to each
other. The full widths of the webs can be ultrasonically bonded using the rotary
ultrasonic horns. An outer surface of the anvil roll preferably carries a bonding pattern
defining the locations where bonding of the web occurs. Additional, e.g. third and
fourth webs can be bonded by the ultrasonic bonding apparatus. Such bonding can
occur after first and second webs have been bonded to each other by first and second
rotary ultrasonic horns. In some instances, the third and fourth rotary ultrasonic horns
can ultrasonically bond portions of the first and second webs that have already been
bonded together by one or both of the first and second rotary ultrasonic horns. In
other embodiments, multiple repeat bonding of substantially the same segment of the
web can occur. In still other embodiments, a batt of bondable material such as fibers
can be consolidated by ultrasonic bonding with rotary ultrasonic horns to form a
unitary web. The apparatus can operate at web speeds greater than 1000
feet/minute.

Abstract: A gas concentration sensor includes a measurement chamber for measuring a
concentration of a specific gas component in a gas under measurement; an inflow
path for allowing inflow of the gas under measurement thereinto and an outflow path
for allowing outflow of the gas under measurement therefrom; a reflection wall for
reflecting an acoustic wave; and an acoustic wave transmitting-receiving element
having a transmitting-receiving surface adapted to transmit an acoustic wave toward
the reflection wall and receive an acoustic wave reflected from the reflection wall.
The concentration of the specific gas in the gas under measurement is detected on the
basis of a propagation time between transmission of the acoustic wave and reception
of the reflected acoustic wave. When a predetermined member having the sensor
attached thereto is placed in a horizontal plane, the transmitting-receiving surface
faces downward. A recess is formed in a peripheral portion of the reflection wall.
The recess is receded toward a back surface of the reflection wall, i.e. in a direction
away from the transmitting-receiving surface.

Abstract: A method of controlling exhaust gas recirculation by means of an EGR
valve (55). An electromagnetic actuator (41) is associated with a housing (47)
to transmit movement of an actuator output (75) into reciprocating movement of
the EGR valve in response to changes in an electrical input signal (95), and the
method comprises generating (93) a compensator gain value to modify the
electrical input signal (95). The improved method provides a valve position
sensor (79) and generates a position signal (97) representing instantaneous
valve position. The next step is storing (105) a first relationship (DC THLD ) of the
electrical input signal (95) required to change the instantaneous valve position,
then, during ongoing operation, generating (105) a then-current, second
relationship (DC) of the electrical input signal (95) required to change the
instantaneous valve position. Next is comparing (105) the second relationship
(DC) to the first (DC THLD ) and generating (111) a corresponding difference factor,
then using (111) that difference factor to modify (93) the compensator gain value
correspondingly. This method enables the system to adapt to changes in
system friction.
