Abstract: The method is performed by relaying data to a central site from locality-distributed data-recording sites (D1-D5) via a relay or bridging station when direct reception fails or is unreliable. The central station retrieves by radio, and stores, data from the data site. If entire data sites are not reached by the central site, the central site transmits to the achievable data sites or makes further attempts by those relay or bridging places which can be reached. The reached data places, or relay or bridge sites, thereupon try to relay the data from the initially unreached data site, either directly or indirectly by radio and retransmit to the central station. An Independent claim is included for a central recording system.

Abstract: An apparatus provides variable resistance to rotation and includes a housing
having a shaft having a first portion that is rotatable in the housing and a
second portion passing outwardly thereof adapted to receive the tire of a
bicycle for stationary bicycle exercise. A first body in the housing is
mechanically linked to the first portion of the shaft so as to be rotatable within
the housing. A second body in the housing is slidably connected to the first
portion of the shaft and has flat face opposed to the flat face of the first body.
The second body is movable with respect to the first body to result in a
variably-sized gap between the opposed faces. A spring located between the
housing and the second body biases the second body toward the first body.
Further mechanism is provided to permit adjustment of the gap between the
first body and the second body, and a viscous fluid in the housing frictionally
engages the bodies and provides resistance to their rotation, with the amount
of resistance dependent upon the size of the gap.

Abstract: Decision feedback equalization is used in a communication system
which employs coded modulation, such as trellis coded modulation. The transmitted
stream of signal points includes first signal points that were generated using a
particular coded modulation scheme interspersed with second signal points that were
generated without the using of coding, and estimated intersymbol interference
components for the second signal points are generated in response to tentative
decisions as to the first signal points formed by the Viterbi decoder. Rather than
forming immediate final decisions as to the second signal points, there is formed a
tentative decision for each one of the second signal points associated with each
Viterbi decoder state using an estimated intersymbol interference component
provided from a decision feedback equalizer associated with that state. Each
second-signal-point tentative decision is used to extend the surviving path for the
associated state and to also update its path metric.

Abstract: Local timing units (in 116,136) are synchronized to a central timing unit
(in 101) to determine the difference in timing between external links (e.g.103) and the
local timing units so as to synchronize the centralized timing unit to the external links.
This difference in timing is then transmitted to the central timing unit, which utilizes
this information to adjust the timing of the central timing unit. The adjustment to the
central timing unit brings it into synchronization with the selected external link. The
local timing units are synchronized to the central timing unit via multiple timing paths
set up through switching units (120-129) within the network. Each switching unit
switches one bit of data for each group of data being received on each of the external
links. In addition, information received by each of the external links designating the
accuracy of the external link is transmitted to the central timing unit so that the central
timing unit can select the external link having the highest accuracy.

Abstract: An endolumenal medical device assembly (1) is provided for use in a
bifurcation region of a body lumen. An expandable prosthesis (10), preferably
an endolumenal support device such as a stent, is included in the assembly and
is adjustable from a radially collapsed condition to a radially expanded
condition. The expandable prosthesis further includes a prosthesis passageway
(16) and a side port (19) through which the prosthesis passageway
communicates externally of the prosthesis. A dilator or an access device (20,
21) is engaged within the prosthesis passageway (16) and also through the side
port while the expandable prosthesis is in the radially collapsed condition. By
coupling a guidewire (40) to an access device engaged within the side port and
positioning the guidewire therein, the expandable prosthesis may be positioned
in the bifurcation region (105) such that its distal end portion is in a first
branch lumen (112) extending from the bifurcation, its proximal end portion is
in a common proximal lumen (110) of the bifurcation region, and the side port
(19) is aligned with an entrance zone to a second branch lumen (114) extending
from the bifurcation. When the expandable prosthesis is positioned at the
bifurcation region (105) in this orientation, the access device maintains
percutaneous translumenal access to the second branch lumen through the
prosthesis passageway and the side port while the expandable prosthesis is
adjusted from the radially collapsed condition to the radially expanded
condition. In addition, a dilator (30) when engaged within the side port (19)
is adapted to expand the bore formed by the side port from an initial inner
diameter to a larger expanded inner diameter. A second, lateral expandable
prosthesis (31) can also be coupled to the first expandable prosthesis at a
location adjacent to the side port such that the dilator or access device
extending through the side port is engaged within a lateral prosthesis lumen
extending through the lateral expandable prosthesis.

Abstract: A data communication system for a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites (13a, 13b, ...) that employ Earth-fixed cellular beam management technology is disclosed. The data to be communicated is formed into datapackets by a transmitting ground terminal (41). Each data packet includes a header (41) and a payload (43). The header (41) contains address and other control information and the payload (43) contains the data to be communicated. The header and payload databits are separated (71) and outer forward error correction (FEC) encoded (72, 73) with an outer error correction code. The symbols of the outer encoded header and payload codewords are interleaved, first separately (74, 75) and then together (76). The outer encoded, interleaved header and payload codewords are inner encoded by an inner FEC encoder (77). Upon receipt by an uplink satellite (63), the inner error correction code is removed (87) and the resulting codeword symbols are de-interleaved (88, 89, 90). The outer error correction code of the header portion is then removed (91) to recover the header of the original signal. The information contained in the header is used to route the data packets through the satellite constellation to the appropriate downlink satellite (93). The downlink satellite re-outer encodes the header (95) and the symbols of the re-outer encoded header and the still outer encoded payload codewords are separately interleaved (96, 97) and then interleaved together (98). The interleaved re-outer encoded header and outer encoded payload databits are re-inner encoded (99). Upon receipt by a receiving ground terminal (107), the data packets are inner decoded (111) to remove the inner error correction code and the symbols of the header and payload codewords are de-interleaved (112, 113, 114). Then the header and payload codewords are outer decoded (115, 116) to remove the outer error correction codes and recover the header and payload. Preferably a payload filter (117) is included to eliminate the need to outer decode payload codewords not destined for the receiving ground terminal (107).

Abstract: A digital camera allowing searching of an image in a simple manner
is provided, in which an image folder (83) is formed for each session of
continuous image pickup operations, and each of the plurality of images
picked up in one session of continuous image pickup operation is stored as
an image file (84) in the corresponding image folder. Therefore, as
compared with the conventional example in which continuously picked up
images are stored in the order of pickup similar to the images picked up
normally, searching of an image is facilitated. Further, as the images can
be handled as an image group folder by folder, efficiency in processing can
be improved.

Abstract: A system allows parallel data processing within a single processor.
In order to allow for parallel processing of data, an arithmetic logic unit (26)
or other operation executing entity within the processing system such as a
shifter (29) is partitioned. Within each partition (41,51), operations are
performed on a portion of one or more operands. When the operation is to be
performed on full word length operands, there is no parallel processing.
Thus data is allowed to freely propagate across boundaries between the
partitions (41,51). When performing the operation in parallel using a
plurality of operands of less than one full word in length, data is prevented
from being propagated across at least one boundary between the partitions
(41,51). The principles of the present invention may also be utilized to
implement a multiplier (301-316,320) which performs parallel multiplication
of partial word multiplicands.

Abstract: Electrical switching apparatus (1) such as a power circuit breaker, network protector or switch has a self-supporting operating mechanism module (17) including a cage (95) formed by a pair of side plates (97) rigidly clamped in spaced relation by spacers (99). The cage (95) supports all of the operating mechanism components (18,107,109,113) including a helical compression close spring (18) mounted fully between the side plates (97) and coupled to a cam member (171) through a rocker (155) in a manner which maintains the forces longitudinal to the spring (18). The cam member (171) has a charging cam (173) with a charge profile (189a) for compressing the close spring (18) and a close profile (189b) through which the spring (18) drives the cam member (171) to effect a controlled release of stored energy to close the contacts of the apparatus. A close prop (223), spring biased to an unlatched position, is latched to secure the close spring (18) in the charged state by a latch assembly (225) reset by a reset lever (247) separate from the close prop (223) which in turn is reset by rotation of the cam member (171) during charging. An interlock (265) prevents release of the close spring (18) when the contacts (43) are closed or the trip release is actuated. An indicator (27) actuated by a driver (345) pivoted against the cam shaft (115) snaps from a DISCHARGED to a CHARGED indication as the close spring (18) becomes fully charged and the driver (345) drops into a notch (343) created by a flat on the cam shaft (115). A snap action open/closed indicator (29) for the switch contacts (43) is also provided. Both indicators (27,29) are pivotally mounted in a face plate (19) pinned to the side plates (97) and are connected to the operating mechanism by wireforms (349,381). The close and open push buttons (23,25) snap out to a common shaft (301) and have actuating fingers (305,309) which trigger releases in the operating mechanism (17). The close rotating shafts (213,239) are journaled solely in confronting apertures in the side plates (97). The cam shaft (115) is captured between bushings (117) seated in non-circular openings (119) in the side plates (97) thereby eliminating the need for any fasteners. Likewise, other parts (165) mounted between the side plates (97) and joined by pins (167) having enlarged heads (169) retained by the side plates (97) do not need retainers. Various shafts (451) extending between the side plates (97) have reduced diameter ends (457) of progressive lengths for successive insertion in one side plate (97z) to aid in assembly of the operating mechanism (17).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus of
ultrasonic inspection for inspecting a planar defect, existing in a
plane including a radial direction and an axial direction in a welded
part of a steel pipe, using angle probes attached to the outer
peripheral surface of the steel pipe, characterized in that an
inspection refractive angle of an ultrasonic wave entered into the
steel pipe from the angle probes is set to an angle at which the
ultrasonic wave enters the planar defect perpendicularly based on
the ratio of the thickness to the outer diameter of the steel pipe. In
the case where the steel pipe has acoustical anisotropy, it is
preferable to measure and store refractive angle dependency of the
sonic velocity in advance for each steel type and rolling condition,
automatically calculate an incident angle corresponding to a
refractive angle used in the inspection using the stored data, and
select angle probes having the calculated incident angle. By this
invention, it is possible to inspect planar defects with a high defect-detection
capability and to easily and accurately to inspect them
even for a steel pipe having acoustical anisotropy.
