Patent EP-0533229-A3 (EP)
Title: Method of identifying a signal path and signal processing apparatus
Inventor: VAN STEENBRUGGE BERNARD
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1992-08-18
Abstract: A system of domestic audio-visual apparatuses (10-18) are connected on a one-to-one basis (20-26) for the exchange of video and audio signals. The apparatuses are also connected to a serial data bus (28,D2B) which allows distributed control messages to be sent and received by the apparatuses (addressable as 'devices') and elements of the apparatuses (subdevices). No apparatus has knowledge of the complete system of connections (20-26). An autonomous process (100, 102, 104, 110') can be initiated whereby a signal path from a source subdevice (64) to a destination subdevice (62) is identified step by step using the local knowledge of each apparatus. The speed of this process can be improved by initiating (101) a concurrent second autonomous process (106') whereby a signal path is identified from a third subdevice (42) to the destination subdevice. If the first autonomous process arrives at the third subdevice (42), the first process can be terminated (at *) and its identified signal path appended to that identified by the second autonomous process. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0571029-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MABEY PETER JOHN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1993-05-14
Abstract: In a mobile radio system carrying at least one group call, 
each primary station carrying the call transmits the identities of 
other primary stations carrying that call embedded in the call 
itself. In a TDMA signal, these identities may be transmitted in a 
dedicated frame F, within a control slot C, during a ramp slot R or 
during an associated control slot AC. When the quality of a signal 
received by a mobile secondary station deteriorates, handover to 
the most appropriate alternative primary station may be effected 
quickly and without the need for a signalling exchange. The 
invention is also applicable to FDMA systems.

Title: Method and device for branching and inserting digital signals.
Inventor: ROGASCH VOLKER DIPL-ING
IPC: H04J3/08
Filed: 1994-05-04
Abstract: The signal extraction and insertion method is applied to digital signals (DSA1...DSB1) transmitted via multiplex signal channels. The incoming multiplex signals (MSE1, MSE2) are transformed into multiplex signals (MDE1, MDE2) in which each data word has double the original bit rate and gaps of even length, an odd or even bus time slot being assigned to the transformed multiplex signals to obtain a common time multiplex reception signal fed to all peripherals (KK1...KKn) at which the digital signals are obtained. The transmitted digital signals from the peripherals are combined to a common multiplex signal (ZMS) and a digital signal (EDSA1) is inserted in the assigned channel (KB1) of a converted multiplexed signal (MDA1), which is then standardised.

Abstract: In a noise cancelling device including a first
subtractor (5) for producing a first difference signal as a
noise cancelled signal by subtracting a first pseudo signal
from an input signal having a main signal and a first noise
signal superposed on the main signal and a first adaptive
filter (4) for processing a second noise signal correlated
with the first noise signal into the first pseudo signal in
accordance with filter coefficients thereof, a second
subtractor (7) subtracts a second pseudo signal from the
first pseudo signal to produce a second difference signal.
A second adaptive filter (6) processes the second noise
signal into the second pseudo signal in accordance with
filter coefficients thereof. First and second power
averaging circuits (8 and 9) produce first and second
averages (P1 and P2) of power of the second difference
signal and the first pseudo signal, respectively. A step
size calculating circuit (10) calculates, from the first
and the second averages, a step size for use in renewal of
the filter coefficients of each adaptive filter in deciding
a rate of convergence of each adaptive filter at a time.
The first adaptive filter renews the filter coefficients
thereof into renewed filter coefficients in accordance with
the second noise signal, the first difference signal, and
the step size. The second adaptive filter renews the
filter coefficients thereof into renewed filter
coefficients in accordance with the second noise signal,
the second difference signal, and the step size.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission with a reduced axial dimension
according to the present invention, the axial length of the mission
case is maintained with a view to ensuring a mounting portion of the
valve body. Despite a reduced axial length of the rear cover, load
based on the operation of the brake is appropriately confined to the
inside of rear cover. An extending portion 16f protruding toward the
inside of the mission case 15, to which the multi-plate brake B5 is
securely fitted, is formed on the rear cover 6. Due to the hydraulic
pressure applied to the hydraulic servo 77, the piston 76 is caused
to extend to operate the brake B5. Then, a force arises in such a manner
to detach the cylinder 75 serving to support a reaction force from the
extending portion 6f to which the pressing force from the above-mentioned
piston 76 is applied. However, since the cylinder 75 and
the extending portion 16f are both formed in the rear case 16, said
detaching force is confined to the inside of the case 16 without being
applied to the mission case 15.

Abstract: A thin film solar cell having high conversion efficiency is
provided. The thin film solar cell can control its band gap while
keeping the quality superior to conventional solar cells. The
absorber layer for photovoltaic energy conversion is a Cu(In 1-X Ga X )
(Se 1-Y S Y ) 2  based solid solution where X and Y are in the range of
the following Equation:
 0.317 + 0.176Y ≧ X ≧ 0.117 + 0.176Y 
   1 > X + Y > 0 
   Y > 0. 
The Cu(In 1-X Ga X )(Se 1-Y S Y ) 2  based solid solution has a specific
chalcopyrite type crystal structure and its lattice constant ratio
of a-axis to c-axis is extremely closer to two. It is most
preferable that the band gap is 1.4eV, X is 0.3 and Y is 0.4, since
the conversion efficiency of a homojunction solar cell will become
the highest.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß die Laufzeiten der vom Lichtbogen erzeugten
elektrischen und/oder akustischen Signale im Kabel in den Kabelabschnitten beiderseits
vom Lichtbogen gemessen und daraus die Abstände der Fehlerstelle zu den Enden des
Kabelabschnittes berechnet werden.

Abstract: During a noninvasive blood pressure measurement using a cuff
2, a pulse wave propagation time T1 from the appearance of the peak
value of an R wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform to the
appearance of the bottom value of a pulse wave is counted, and a blood
pressure value BP1 is calculated from a count result T1 and parameters
α, β specific to a subject obtained during a pulse wave propagation
time calibration. Then, the absolute value of a difference between
the blood pressure value BP1 and a blood pressure value NIBP1 obtained
by the noninvasive blood pressure measurement using the cuff 2 is
calculated, and it is indeed whether or not the calculated absolute
value is within a predetermined threshold_BP. If the absolute value
is judged to exceed the threshold_BP, then blood pressure is measured
again noninvasively using the cuff 2, and a blood pressure value
NIBP1' obtained from such repeated measurement is displayed on a
display 22.

Abstract: Die kontaktlose Informationsübertragung von einem passiven Transponder zu einer

Die Spulen von Schwingkreisen in der Basisstation und im Transponder sind
induktiv miteinander gekoppelt, wobei beide Schwingkreise möglichst gut auf die
Trägerfrequenz der Basisstation abgestimmt sind, so daß sich die Belastungsmodulation
des Schwingkreises im Transponder auf den Strom im Schwingkreis der
Basisstation auswirkt. Da in praktischen Fällen die beiden Schwingkreise häufig
nicht exakt aufeinander abgestimmt sind und der Transponder während der Informationsübertragung
auch bewegt werden kann, kann es sein, daß bei der üblichen
Demodulation in der Basisstation kein Signal zurückgewonnen wird. Erfindungsgemäß
wird daher vorgeschlagen, in der Basisstation aus dem Antennensignal
Imaginärteil und Realteil bzw. verschiedene Kombinationen davon getrennt zu
demodulieren und über eine Logikschaltung miteinander zu verknüpfen, die insbesondere
eine gegenseitige Verriegelung der beiden Kanäle bewirkt. Dadurch ist
eine zuverlässigere Rückgewinnung der vom Transponder übertragenen Information
in der Basisstation möglich.
