Title: A signal for the simultaneous coding of a number of television signals and for decoding thereof in radiofrequency
Inventor: REOLID LOPEZ RICARDO
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 1992-09-30
Abstract: A system for the simultaneous coding of a number of television signals and for decoding thereof in radiofrequency. The radiofrequency TV signal or signals to be distributed undergo remodulation on at least one channel by a signal which does not alter the synchronism pedestal and which varies in accordance with an established sequence resident in the memory of the coder, offering differentiated application to each individual channel or to the whole range thereof. A data channel is also installed to include a channel identification code, an algorithmic code and a synchronisation code, these being the determinants for interpretation of the codes by a decoder at the subscribers terminal and for application of a process of remodulation which is identical, synchronous and inverse in form to that of the coder in order to restore the original signal. It is of application in the protection of subscriber TV channels.

Title: Cache-memory system suitable for data arrayed in multidimensional space
Inventor: YOSHIZAWA HIDEKI
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1995-01-30
Abstract: Graphic data having a two-dimensional spread is divided into data blocks each having a two-dimensional spread, for example data blocks of 8 x 8 pixels, and, with these data blocks as units, cache control is performed. A tag memory in a comparator 42 for making a decision as to the occurrence of a cache hit, stores therein a tag and a valid flag as well as a bank address in a cache memory 40 at which the data block in question is stored. As a result, the relationship between each bank of the cache memory 40 and the address in the tag memory is not fixed, which ensures efficient use of the cache memory even in situations where accesses concentrate in one particular memory area. Each data item is addressable by a combination of an X-address and a Y-address. The tag memory is addressed by the high-order bits of the X-address (or Y-address). Each block is specified by the high-order bits of both the X and Y addresses. The system can be extended to handle data of three or higher dimensionality. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and system for PWM in a three phase supply
Inventor: BOBBIO ATTILIO
IPC: H02M7/5387
Filed: 1995-03-21
Abstract: When switching between sinusoidal and square-wave modulation in the supply of a three-phase motor by an inverter 20, the zero crossing instant of the alternating supply voltage of one of the phases is recognised and the modulation is switched coincident with that instant. Into the voltage pulse applied to that phase, immediately prior to or following the modulation switching, depending on whether the switching takes place from square-wave modulation to sinusoidal modulation or vice-versa, a correction is applied which reduces the area of the pulse by a quantity proportional to the period and to the amplitude of the said sinusoidal modulation. Control of the inverter 20 is obtained by means of a counter 28, EPROM's 29, 30, 31, 43 and 50 and a logic control 48. <IMAGE>

Title: A vehicle security system
Inventor: TALBOT KEVIN TREVOR
IPC: B60R25/33
Filed: 1995-09-13
Abstract: A security controller 112 for a vehicle 10 communicates with its navigation system 110 which receives co-ordinates from a satellite 20 and compares them with maps stored in its memory 113. Zones are defined in which the vehicle 10 is authorised to travel. If the vehicle has left its permitted zones, the security controller 112 determines if the vehicle 10 is in a safe state to be immobilised and, if it is in such a state, the vehicle 10 is immobilised. If the vehicle is not in a safe state, the security controller 112 monitors the vehicle 10 and immobilises it when it is next in a safe state. One safe state occurs when wheel speed is zero. Immobilisation causes the engine management system 116 to cut out the ignition system 117 and the siren 114 and hazard lights 115 are activated. The security controller 112 communicates with a remote station 30. The system is also activated by conventional theft detection devices.
