Abstract: A method and apparatus for radio communication between a main unit (1) and a sub unit or tag (2) attachable to objects is disclosed. According to the invention a binary modulation of the rotation sense of circular-polarized waves, i. e. a circular polarization modulation is used for the transmission of binary data in at least one communication direction. In preferred embodiments data are encoded by symbols for outward and/or inward communication. As well, inward-communicated data may be encoded by time-selectively echoing a predefined circular polarization pattern received from the main unit (1). Both active and passive tag (2) designs are disclosed that are very simple, power-saving and lightweight. Compared to conventional ASK, PSK or FSK modulation schemes the new circular polarization modulation distinguishes itself by reduced complexity and reduced power requirements at low demodulation error rates and better performance with interfering signals. In particular the system is largely tolerant against linear-polarized jammers, against cross-talk between outward-bound and inward-bound signals at the main unit (1) and against polarization inversion due to metallic reflections. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lining device for inserting and installing a tubular body (lining tube), which is formed by spirally winding a band-shaped member composed of a lengthy plate-shaped body, along an inner surface of an existing duct, such as water and sewage pipe and gas pipe, the cross section of the duct not only having a common circular shape but having a variety of shapes such as egg-shape, rectangular shape or other polygonal shapes. The lining device is mainly composed of a closed forming frame, which is made flexible by a link mechanism consisting of a series of link bodies, and to which a joining mechanism is mounted. Also, a circumferential length adjusting mechanism for adjusting a circumferential length and a spacing keeping mechanism for fixing the circumferential length are provided on the forming frame. In one of the inventions, a rotation guide is mounted to the forming frame, and a rigid restraining frame is provided inside the forming frame to abut against the rotation guide. The band-shaped member which is plastically deformable is used. The lining tube is formed into a free configuration along the shape of the restraining frame. In another invention, two joining mechanisms are arranged on the forming frame. The band-shaped member is surely bent. The lining tube surely receives a drive force even at corners of the duct and is formed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved capo for use with various stringed instruments is provided. The capo comprises a frame having a top arm to contact the strings and a side arm, with a jaw member and a lever member both pivotally attached to the side arm. The jaw member contacts the back of the instrument neck when the capo is closed. Mounted on the lever member is a flexible member, having a follower surface that contacts the lower surface of the jaw member during the closing action of the capo and while the capo is closed. An adjustable stop passes through the lever member such that one end of the adjustable stop contacts the lower surface of the flexible member to urge the follower surface into contact with the lower surface of the jaw member. The improved capo of the invention is easier to attach and remove than capos of the prior art, maintains better alignment between the jaw member and the lever member, is less subject to frictional wear, and optimizes the degree of dropoff along the entire useable range of the capo.

Abstract: Les environnements d'immersion pour les téléconférences, les espaces partagés en collaboration et les loisirs nécessitent des signaux audio spaciaux. Des environnements de ce type peuvent présenter des conditions de reproduction audio non idéales (positionnement des haut-parleurs, emplacement de l'auditeur ou géométrie de la pièce d'écoute) où les techniques de synthèse de surfaces d'ondes, telle que l'ambiophonie ne donneront pas aux auditeurs la spacialisation sonore correcte. L'invention a pour objet un procédé pour générer un champ sonore à partir d'un signal sonore d'origine spacialisé selon lequel le signal d'origine est configuré pour produire un son optimal à un emplacement idéal prédéterminé, pouvant être perçu par la génération de plusieurs composantes d'un signal de sortie, correspondant chacune à la reproduction par un des haut-parleurs. Selon ce procédé, les composantes du signal de sortie en opposition de phase sont atténuées de telle sorte leur contribution à la perception sonore spaciale est réduite pour des emplacements autres que l'emplacement idéal prédéterminé. Les composantes de positionnement définissant l'emplacement d'une source sonore virtuelle, normalisée par rapport à la distance entre le haut-parleur et l'emplacement idéal, peuvent être adaptées pour générer un son déformé en élevant les composantes de position à une puissance supérieure à l'unité, de telle sorte que la source sonore virtuelle est perçue par les auditeurs dans la zone entourée par les haut-parleurs devant être espacés des haut-parleurs.

Abstract: An array of in-phase current loops are disposed adjacent to one another to define a surface and to define a virtual current loop at a periphery of the surface that produces a same direction virtual current while current in adjacent portions of adjacent current loops flows in opposite directions, to thereby wirelessly project power from the surface. It has been found according to the invention that the array of in-phase current loops that are disposed adjacent to one another to define a surface and to define a virtual current loop at a periphery of the surface that produces a same direction virtual current while current in adjacent portions of adjacent current loops flows in opposite directions, can provide acceptable power to RFID tags, while reducing the risk of violating regulatory constraints. A plurality of arrays of in-phase current loops also may be provided. The multiple arrays of in-phase current loops are disposed adjacent to one another to define a surface. Each array of in-phase current loops may be configured as was described above. N-ary tree traversals, push and pop commands and/or warp commands also may be used to efficiently identify tags.

Abstract: In a medical meassuremnet system, measurements can be carried out at a distance from a hospital. Thus the patient is connected to a measuring system comprising measuring sensors and a unit for collecting data comprising a transmitter. The system also comprises a centrally located surveillance unit. The measuring sensors sense various physical and physiological parameters, for example brain activities, actions of the heart, respiration, blood pressure, blood values/tests and body movements. The sensed signals are transmitted to a portable small device of low weight for collecting and/or analyzing data, which is connected to a central surveillance unit, for example via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), a radio system, in particular a cellular radio system, or via a satellite communication. In a preferred embodiment the measuring sensors comprise a preamplifier having an identification circuit. The identification circuit is used for providing each preamplifier with a unique identity. In yet another preferred embodiment a measuring pad for measuring physical and physiological parameters is provided. The measuring pad comprises a film having piezo and/or pyro electrical characteristics, for example a PVF-film (Poly Vinyl Fluoride), or any other sensor having similar properties. By using such a film, which can convert movements into an electrical signal several advantages are achieved.
