Title: Improved multi-band programmable compression system
Inventor: WALDHAUER FRED DONALD
IPC: H04B1/64
Filed: 1989-02-23
Granted: 1991-06-06
Abstract: A programmable low voltage multi-band compression system suitable for use with hearing aids is described. Received audio signals are processed by a band split filter which separates the received audio signal into a plurality of frequency bands. A plurality of compressors coupled to the band split filter compresses each of the respective frequency bands. The output of the compressor are then summed to generate a composite audio signal. The compression ratio of each of the compressors is set, in response to a set of control signals, to a preselected independent value. The average gain of each of the compressors is set to a preselected level independently of the other compressors. In addition, the compression ratio of each compressor may vary with input signal level. Another set of control signals is employed for setting the gain of the compressor to provide a volume control function.

Title: A turbocharger assembly
Inventor: RAMSDEN JOHN NIGEL
IPC: F02C6/12
Filed: 1995-10-13
Granted: 1998-05-28
Abstract: A turbocharger module (100) for a turbocharged internal combustion engine comprises turbocharger cartridges (850), each having a turbine rotor (814) and a compressor impeller (812) mounted on a common shaft (816) running in bearings (809). Each cartridge is held in a bore (851) in a wall (90) of a supporting enclosure (9), with its turbine rotor projecting into the enclosure and its compressor impeller outside the enclosure. A turbine housing (800) is fitted tightly to an internal wall surface region (807) surrounding each bore to provide a low thermal resistance path to heat flow by conduction from the turbine housing (800) into the wall (90). When installed in the bores, the turbine rotors of the cartridges fit into the turbine housings, the cartridges being held concentric with the turbine housing by a spigot (870) having a close fit in a circular register (871) in the turbine housing. The spigot and the register contact each other over an annular region which is substantially smaller in area than the area of contact between the turbine housing (800) and the internal wall surface region (807), the spigot and the register providing the only significant region of direct mechanical contact between the turbine casing (800) and the cartridge (850). Hence, during operation of the cartridges, heat from the turbine casing is shunted away from the cartridges into the wall (90) of the enclosure (9). Preferably, the wall is actively cooled. <IMAGE>

Title: Transmitter-based path protection switching in a ring network
Inventor: DUPONT JEAN-LOU
IPC: H04L12/437
Filed: 2000-05-23
Granted: 2002-08-29
Abstract: A system and method for path protection switching in ring networks is provided in which the path protection switch occurs at the transmitter node that initiated a particular virtual channel of data packets onto the ring network. A failure in one of the data communication-paths of the ring network is detected by the network nodes on either side of the failure. These network nodes then initiate a wrap mechanism that embeds a special feedback wrap indicator flag into packets received at the two nodes, and then wraps (or transmits back) these packets (with the feedback indicator) in the opposite direction towards the transmitter node that initiated the packets onto the ring. Each transmitter node detects whether received packets are associated with virtual channels that it initiated onto the ring and if so detected, then determine whether the feedback indicator flag is set. If so, then a protection switch occurs at the transmitter node so that additional packets associated with the particular virtual channel are switched in a direction opposite to the failure. A ring continuity mechanism is used to determine when to revert the transmitter nodes back to their prior operating state, and a garbage collection function is also included.

Title: Vario meter
Inventor: LEONARD MICHAEL GILBERT
IPC: G01P3/62
Filed: 1980-08-25
Granted: 1985-09-12
Abstract: A variometer for use in a glider to indicate the rate of lift or sink during flight. An audible signal is generated variations in which correspond to variations in the output of a differentiation circuit receiving signals from an electrical pressure transducer, the audible signal so providing an indication of the rate of lift or sink thereby relieving the pilot of an otherwise visual task and hence simplifying the procedure of flying the glider. The audible signal may vary in pitch between a level indicating a desired lift or sink and another level indicating the actual lift or sink. Alternatively a pulsed signal is used in which the repetition rate of pulses is indicative of the rate of lift or sink. Also the audible pitch of the pulsed signal may be changed to indicate whether the glider is flying at less than or greater than a predetermined sink rate.

Inventor: FIELDING DENNIS E
IPC: H04J3/26
Filed: 1994-06-16
Granted: 1997-07-17
Abstract: A frame relay protocol-based earth station interface architecture provides full mesh connectivity for a relatively small number of network stations. The fundamental component of the architecture is a frame relay protocol-based switch (110), which employs a network interface "frame relay" standard to define the muliplexing of multiple virtual ports across single physical communications port. Through address and control fields of its connectivity control software, the frame relay protocol-based switch (110) can be dynamically configured to provide multilayer addressing and device selectivity, thereby enabling point-to-point connectivity of multiple terminal devices, such as a plurality of audio circuits (170-1...170-N), to be effected via a single port. Dial codes on the station side of an audio signal muliplexer link (135) are translated into frame relay addresses (data link connection identifiers) that are added to each frame of data for routing though the network. <IMAGE>
