Abstract: Relative humidity of air recycled from the coolant evaporator is measured, and represents the saturated state, having passed through the evaporator. Volumetric flowrate Vl of air circulated through the evaporator is determined. From the state equation for humid air, absolute humidities are determined at the evaporator inlet (XRL) and outlet (XZL). The quantity of water stored in the evaporator is given by DELTAX = XRL - XZL.  The equation mW = rho VL DELTAX DELTAt, is used to determine the quantity of water stored during the interval DELTAt at the evaporator, where rhoL is the density of air. Between two defrosting processes, water masses mW determined in this way are summed and compared with an adjustable, desired value. Once this is reached, the defrosting process is initiated.

Abstract: Hinges (12) for orthopedic and rehabilitation braces allow intuitive, convenient and positive control and adjustment of the limits to which the braces (10) may extend or flex. Such hinges (12) also allow convenient locking of such braces (10). A flexion switch (24) and an extension switch (26) allow convenient repositioning of stops (56) or limits which limit flexion and extension of the brace (10). Such switches (24, 26) may be repositioned, however, only with repositioning pressure for moving the switch (24, 26) to a new position combined with safety pressure for unlocking the switch (24, 26). A brace locking switch may also be included. Such hinges (12) promote more effective post-operative and rehabilitation results because they, among other things, allow users easily to change the flexion, extension and fixation limitations of their braces (10) conveniently and in real time such as during post-operative and physical therapy sessions and workouts.

Abstract: Transmissions of a Bluetooth device are optimized to overcome signal interference. Mapping rules dictate different Bluetooth packet types to be used for transmission under various specified conditions including prescribed signal interference characteristics. The Bluetooth device measures signal interference characteristics upon different Bluetooth frequencies. The Bluetooth device identifies messages pending transmission to one or more remote Bluetooth devices, and receives designation of frequencies to be used in transmitting the pending messages to the remote Bluetooth device according to a predetermined frequency hopping scheme. The Bluetooth device applies the mapping rules to conditions including at least the measured signal interference characteristics for the designated frequencies to select Bluetooth packet types for use in transmitting the identified messages to the remote Bluetooth device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un méthode pour tester le taux d'erreur binaire (TEB) d'un dispositif par rapport à un taux d'erreur binaire TEBlimit maximum admissible sur la base d'un critère d'acceptation précoce et/ou de rejet précoce, la probabilité F d'erreur de ce critère pour l'ensemble du test étant faible. Ns bits de sortie du dispositif sont mesurés, parmi lesquels ne bits erronés sont détectés. On obtient ainsi PDsupérieur et/ou PDinférieur, PDsupérieur étant la probabilité de répartition la moins bonne et PDinférieur étant la meilleure probabilité de répartition contenant les ne bits erronés mesurés, avec une probabilité D de décision erronée à un seul niveau, laquelle probabilité est inférieure à la probabilité F pour l'ensemble du test. On obtient alors les moyennes de bits erronés NEsupérieur et NEinférieur pour PDsupérieur et PDinférieur. NEsupérieur et NEinférieur sont comparés à NElimite = TEBlimite ns. Si NElimite dépasse NEsupérieur ou si NElimite est inférieur à NEinférieur le test est interrompu. La présente invention porte également sur un échantillonnage séquentiel avec des tests unilatéraux d'hypothèse paramétrique pour la loi de Poisson.
