Abstract: Method and apparatus for tracking the frequency and phase of signals in spread spectrum communication systems that makes more efficient use of available carrier frequency and phase information by utilizing a substantial portion or all of the energy occupying the frequency spectrum of a received carrier signal, including energy from communication signals intended for other system users. Multiple spread spectrum communication signals are input in parallel to data receivers where they are despread using preselected despreading codes at an adjustable phase angle and decoded over multiple orthogonal codes active within the communication system. Multiple decoded signals are then combined to form a single phase detection signal which is used by at least one tracking loop to track frequency and phase of the carrier signal for the received communication signals. The tracking loop generates a timing signal which is used to adjust the phase angle used during despreading. In further embodiments, the communication signals are despread using appropriate PN codes and separated into in-phase (I) and quadrature channels (Q) where data symbols are processed by fast Hadamard transformers to generate corresponding data bits. The data is formed into pairwise products between the channels and summed over multiple or all active subscriber orthogonal codes. This sum indicates a degree to which the estimated phase differs from the actual phase of received communication signals and is used to adjust the phase of application for the PN codes.

Abstract: Compositions based on glyco-alcohol, hydro-alcohol or glyco-hydro-alcohol solutions of a glycol or glyceric ester of retinoic acid, preferably in association with the ethyl ester of retinoic acid and with hydroquinone, have been found to be particularly effective, as such or in cream form, in eliminating unsightly skin disorders such as acne, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, dark spots, etc., and in treating mycotic skin diseases and psoriasis. Diluted in water, the compositions are also effective in treating falling hair. The basic composition containing the esters of retinoic acid and hydroquinone as an antioxidant may be combined with various known medicinal products, e.g. for enhancing the anti-edema effect of sodium heparin, enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect of niflumic acid, indomethacin and naproxene, and enhancing the antipruritic effect of aqueous extract of tritiam vulgaris.

Abstract: A heart monitoring apparatus and method is disclosed wherein an electrocardiograph signal is obtained from a patient and processed to enhance the salient features and to suppress noise. A plurality n of values representative of the features of the electrocardiograph signal are generated and used in a Kohonen neural network to generate an n dimensional vector. This vector is compared with a stored plurality m of n dimensional reference vectors defining an n dimensional Kohonen feature map to determine the proximity of the vector to the reference vectors. If it is determined by the Kohonen neural network that the vector is within or beyond a threshold range of the reference vectors a signal is output which can be used to initiate an event such as the generation of an alarm or the storage of ECG data.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring a precise angular position of an element rotatable relative to a base. The device includes a rotating disk having a first track and a second track, each track being made up of alternating lines of high and low transparency. The rotating disk is rotated continuously about the axis of rotation of the element. Aligned opposite the first track and parallel to the rotating disk is an optical grid, fixed relative to the base, having alternating lines of high and low transparency. A measuring disk attached to the element is aligned coaxially with the rotating disk. The device also features two photoelectric sensors and which generate signals corresponding to variations in measured optical transmissivity. One photoelectric sensor generates a reference signal corresponding to variations in optical transmissivity through a combination of the first track and the optical grid. The other photoelectric sensor generates a measurement signal corresponding to variations in optical transmissivity through a combination of the second track and the track of the measuring disk. These signals are then processed by a processor to calculate information relating to the precise angular position of the element relative to base.
