Patent EP-0822697-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KHALID ZAFAR M
IPC: H04M3/38
Filed: 1997-07-26
Abstract: A method is provided for a telephone subscriber to distinguish between
callers. The method is accomplished by storing a pass code for a
subscriber's telephone within a memory of the telephone system. Callers who
have been informed of the pass code and who call the subscriber's telephone
and enter the pass code receive special treatment. For example, upon the
caller calling the subscriber's telephone, a normal ringing pattern is applied to
the subscriber's telephone while a ring back signal is returned to the caller.
Upon the caller entering the pass code, a special ringing pattern is applied to
the subscriber's telephone. The special ringing pattern is different than the
normal ringing pattern and thus indicates to a subscriber of the subscriber's
telephone, even before the telephone is answered, that the caller is one of a
select group of callers to whom the subscriber has shared the pass code.

Abstract: The method involves determining the temporal position of a synchronisation sequence in a received data stream for frame synchronisation, by using the principle of maximum likelihood theory. This determination is carried out from the received data stream before the frequency and phase synchronisation. The maximum correlation between the differentially decoded received data stream, with the receiver side known conjugate complex differentially decoded synchronisation stream, may be taken into account. In addition, a term for removing interference may be taken into account. The frame temporal position determination may be carried out also before the clock synchronisation. Alternatively it may be carried out after clock synchronisation.

Abstract: The selector selects address words which each have n bit positions. The address words serve to address m different reception points of a digital information transmission device. The apparatus has a digital acceptor which selects address words which are acceptable for the reception point in question. The selector also has an address word segmenter (DEC) which divides each received address word into s segments, each with b segment bit positions. There is a decoder with an input into which the segment bit pattern of the segments of an address word to be checked is fed for decoding according to a predetermined decoding algorithm. A decoder output bit pattern from the decoder represents the segment bit pattern. A filter register stores filter register bit patterns corresponding to the decoder output patterns. A comparator compares previous decoder output patterns with the content of the filter register to test whether the output pattern matches a stored filter pattern or not. A test result is output from the comparator which is a one or a zero. An analyser only supplies an acceptance signal when the comparator provides a 'one' output.

Abstract: A three plenum air distribution manifold for intake air to
internal combustion engine with long, narrow runners leading
from first and second spaced side plenums for delivery of air
and recirculating exhaust gases into corresponding combustion
chambers of the engine. One end of the spaced side plenums are
connected by an acoustically balanced cross over passage
selectively closed by a manifold tuning valve for improving
engine output torque during low engine speed. A third plenum is
positioned intermediate the two side plenums to communicate
with the combustion chambers in bypass relation to the side
plenums thereby directly supplying air to the combustion
chambers through short runners which are selectively opened by
valves to optimize engine torque over a higher range of engine
speeds. The manifold tuning valve and short runner valves are
controlled by an onboard electronic controller responsive to
signals from the engine corresponding to parameters such as
engine speed. The short runner valves are connected to a short
runner valve shaft, and a biasing assembly applies a load to
selected journal locations for the shaft to reduce oscillations
of the shaft and the potentially resulting chatter. Further
and endplay control assembly limits total endplay to non-uniform
expansion or contraction between the plastic manifold
and the metal short runner valve shaft and short runner valves.

Abstract: A circuit for implementing a substitutional
compressor. Comparators (2) compare a current input pixel
against a large number of previous pixels, the "history",
stored in a series of shift registers (10). Each register
(10) and associated comparator (12) constitutes a cell. If
one or more matches are found the history data is shifted
one pixel, the non-matching cells are disabled, and the
next input pixel is compared against the contents of the
same cells that had the previous matches. The matching is
terminated when the longest series of matching pixels is
found. The output code is then the length of the matching
series of pixels, and the displacement of the first input
pixel from the first matching pixel. An encoder (13)
generates an initialize signal that resets all of the
disabled cells on the same clock cycle on which the output
code word is generated. To make the circuit more compact,
the cells can be arranged into a square format with one
output line for each row and column from the cells to the
encoder.
