of which a sandpaper (2) can be stretched, and movable base plates (4)
being disposed bendably on the opposite sides of the base plate (3)
and on each front face side of the movable base plates (4) a sandpaper (2)
can be stretched. The movable base plates (4) are resiliently
energized in a direction wherein the surface of the base plate (3)
becomes flush with the surfaces of the movable base plates (4),
respectively. According to a sanding tool (1) of the present
invention, a surface to be repaired can be sanded by an easy
operation to obtain a good finish, even if an operator has not

Abstract: An analog/digital modulation type discrimination circuit 1 discriminates
whether a reception signal is an analog modulation type, a linear modulation type
or a non-linear modulation type by digital modulation type. In case where the
reception signal is discriminated to be the analog modulation type, an analog
modulation type discrimination circuit 2 discriminates whether it is an AM signal or
an FM signal among the analog modulation type. In case where the reception
signal is discriminated to be the linear modulation type by digital modulation type,
a linear modulation type discrimination circuit 3 discriminates whether it is a BPSK
signal, a QPSK signal, a π/4-shift QPSK signal, an 8-PSK signal, an M-ary PSK
signal of multi-level exceeding 8-levels, a 16 QAM signal or an M-ary QAM signal
of multi-level exceeding 16-levels among the linear modulation type by digital
modulation type. In case where the reception signal is discriminated to be the
non-linear modulation type by the digital modulation type, a non-linear modulation
type discrimination circuit 4 discriminates whether it is an M-ary FSK signal, a 2-FSK
signal, an MSK signal or a GMSK signal among the non-linear modulation
type by the digital modulation type.

Abstract: A flexural pivot assembly which reduces the number of component
parts to five and reduces the number of operations in the manufacturing
process is disclosed. The component parts include two sleeves, one inner
flexure, one outer flexure, and one slotted tubular core that may be coated
with a suitable bonding material. The core has a slotted end and an
unslotted end and includes two pairs of diametrically opposed flexure slots
each having substantially the same length as a side of a flexure so that the
interlocked flexures can slide into the slotted end of the tubular core until
they abut an end of the flexure slots and, at the same time, be positioned
flush with the slotted end. The core further includes a pair of diametrically
opposed travel slots. During a method of manufacturing the flexural pivot
assembly, after the flexures are inserted into the tubular core, the sleeves are
slid over the core until one sleeve is located at the end of the flexure slots
and the second sleeve is flush with the slotted end, thus leaving a small gap
between the sleeves. The assembly is then heated until the bonding material
bonds the components together. Alternatively, the assembly may be welded
together. After bonding or welding, the unslotted section of the core is then
cut off.

Abstract: In a switching node of a wavelength multiplexed (WDM) communications system, a plurality of
add-drop multiplexers ADMs , one per wavelength multiplex channel, are connected in parallel
between an optical demultiplexer and multiplexer, each ADM providing an add/drop function
on a different one of the WDM channels. One problem with the existing arrangement is that, if
it is desired to switch some traffic from one optical channel to another it is necessary to provide
additional optical switching functions. The present invention provides interconnection of the
ADMs by means of their tributary ports. Hence messages and data from one of the WDM
channels may be switched to any other one of the WDM channels via the tributary ports of the
existing ADMs

Abstract: Improved techniques for optimizing performance of a wireless network. In an
illustrative embodiment, a derivative-based optimization process is applied to optimize an
objective function of a network performance metric with respect to a number of network
tuning parameter variables. The optimization may be based on first or higher order
derivatives of the objective function with respect to the selected network parameter
variables. The objective function may include, e.g., one or more of a maximization of
network coverage, a maximization of network capacity, and a minimization of network
resources. Additional network parameters which are not variables in optimization process
serve as constraints to the optimization process. Advantageously, the invention substantially
improves the process of designing, adjusting and optimizing the performance of wireless
networks.

IPC: H03F1/32

Abstract: A signal amplification system involves decomposing a signal into two or more
parts, amplifying the parts and then combining the amplified parts to produce the
amplified signal. The decomposition can be done such that the resulting parts have
characteristics that are amenable to efficient amplification. For example,
decomposition of the signal to be amplified can be done using at least one threshold.
The first part of the signal to be amplified can be formed by the portion of the signal
within the threshold. As such, because the first part forms a signal with a lower PAR,
the first part of the signal can be amplified more efficiently than the original signal.
The second part of the signal can be formed by the portion of the original signal
beyond the threshold. Because the second part is mostly zero, the second part can
also be amplified efficiently, for example with a class C type amplifier which does
not dissipate any energy when the input signal is zero.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and an apparatus of correcting
image picked up from a frame photographed on a photo filmstrip
through a photographic device. An exposure correction amount
is calculated by use of correction parameters predetermined
with regard to decrease in illuminance on a focal plane of the
taking lens with radial distance from an optical axis of the
taking lens, and a curvature of the photo filmstrip relative
to the focal plane. The exposure correction amount is
calculated for a respective pixel of the picture with regard
to a relative position of the respective pixel in the frame to
an optical axis of a taking lens of the photographic device.
The relative positions are defined on the assumption that the
photo filmstrip is held flat in a focal plane of the taking lens
with a center point of the frame located on the optical axis
at the photography.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling exhaust
noise in an internal combustion engine by using the length difference
between the exhaust pipe (60) and the bypass pipe (70). The apparatus
comprises an exhaust pipe (60) for outwardly releasing exhaust gas from
the engine (50); a bypass pipe (70) variable in length which diverges
from said exhaust pipe with a distance and has U-shaped and reverse
U-shaped sections formed alternately; an actuator (80) having an
actuating rod (81) connected to said bypass pipe to vary the length of
said bypass pipe; and a control unit (90) for controlling said actuator.
The bypass pipe has the U-shaped and reverse U-shaped sections arranged
alternately so that the variable length of the bypass pipe can be
extended while minimizing the space for installing the bypass pipe, and
thereby noise in the low frequency band can be suitably reduced. Also,
the exhaust pipe is additionally provided with the means for adjusting
the length to increase the length difference with the bypass pipe so
that noise in a wider band can be controlled.
