Abstract: An apparatus (20) for use in simulating vehicle side impacts includes a target sled (24) and a bullet sled (26). A door structure (46) is disposed on the target sled (24). A seat (44) is disposed on the target sled (24) adjacent to an inner side (58) of the door structure (46) to support a test dummy (22) in a desired relationship with the door structure. A safety apparatus (178) with an air bag (182) is supported adjacent to the door structure (46) and the seat (44). Upon impacting of the bullet sled (26) against an outer side (60) of the door structure (46), the air bag (182) is inflated and the door structure is moved relative to the seat (44). As this occurs, a connector assembly (238) interconnects the door structure (46) and the bullet sled. Continued movement of the bullet sled (26) and door structure (46) relative to the target sled (24) moves the seat (44) along tracks (154 and 156) disposed on the target sled (24). After the bullet sled (26) has moved the door structure (46) to a predetermined position relative to the target sled (24), the bullet sled engages the target sled and moves the target sled and the deceleration of the bullet sled and target sled are controlled.

Abstract: A deactivating device for a locking mechanism of a pretensioner. The deactivating device includes: an operation lever (36) provided movably about a central axis of rotation and in a direction of the central axis of rotation, and adapted to set the locking mechanism in one of an activated state and a deactivated state; and an urging member (38) for imparting an urging force to the operation lever, wherein the operation lever has a deactivation operation mode for setting the locking mechanism in the deactivated state as the operation lever (36) moves continuously in stages about the central axis of rotation and in the direction of the central axis of rotation against the urging force of the urging member (38) and a position of the operation lever (36) is subsequently held, and an activation operation mode for setting the locking mechanism in the activated state as the operation lever (36) is automatically made to undergo returning movement by the urging force of the urging member (38) from the deactivation operation mode. Since the operation lever (36) requires a two-stage operating motion about the central axis of rotation and in the direction of the central axis of rotation against the urging force of the urging member (38), the locking mechanism is prevented from being deactivated unnecessarily.

Abstract: Closed tube methods have been employed to diffuse impurities selectively in a groups III - V semiconductor wafer. The closed tube methods are convenient for preventing the element of group V from dissociating out of the wafer surface by pressurizing the vapor pressure of the element of group V. Open tube methods failed in diffusing impurities without defects due to the fluctuation of the vapor pressure of the element of group V. Both methods have relied upon the vapor phase diffusion using a gas containing impurities. This invention adopts an open tube method of diffusing impurities in solid phase. This invention forms a suppression mask film having windows selectively on a wafer, and grows impurity-containing films on the windows by vapor phase reaction in an open reaction tube. The impurities diffuse from the impurity-containing films to the wafer substrate in solid phase. The impurity diffusion occurs either at the same time of the growth of the films or after the growth of the films at a different temperature. The compound semiconductor is covered with solid films during the impurity diffusion. This invention is immune from the difficulty of escape of elements of group V from the surface of a wafer.

Abstract: A header and a payload in a cell are separated for transfer between a cell interface and a host memory. The header is transferred to a control memory. For transfer to the host memory, the control memory initially provides a host-memory region address and the region length. The payload is recorded in such region. The control memory also provides a second host-memory region address, and length, when the payload length exceeds the payload length in the first address region. For transfer from the host memory to the cell interface, the control memory provides a host memory region address and the header combines the header and the payload and passes the combination to the cell interface. Cells from different sources (i.e. terminals) are scheduled at table positions dependent upon their individual transfer rates. The cells at the scheduled positions are normally transferred in time slots corresponding to such positions. When more than one (1) cell is scheduled at the same position, one (1) cell is transferred on a preset priority basis to the corresponding time slot. The other cells are delayed for transfer subsequently in idle time slots (i.e. no cell normally scheduled) in the same or other priorities. The cell delays for each source are accumulated to a maximum preset value. When the cell delays accumulated for a source exceed the normal time spacing between cells from that source, a cell the source transfers a cell in an idle time slot prior to the normally scheduled time slot to compensate for such delay.

Abstract: The surface and/or subterranean locations of well treating fluids, after the treating fluids have been introduced into wells and used for performing treatments therein, are detected by including a non-hazardous thermal neutron absorbing material in the fluid and performing the treatment in the well with the fluid. Fast neutrons from a source thereof are emitted in the well after the treatment, to interact with elements in the well and be thermalised. The thermal neutrons backscattered in the well are detected, and a count representing the detected thermal neutrons is generated. The subterranean locations of the treating fluid are determined by comparing the thermal neutron counts in the well before and after placement of the thermal neutron absorbing treating fluid therein.

Abstract: A microphone selection process uses combination values derived in a manner which provides an indication of which one of a plurality of microphones (220-1...220-5) that provides area coverage for a conference room best receives the speech signal. The process selects the microphone which best receives the speech signal by comparing a signal energy value received in each one of the microphones to that received in each of the other microphones. More specifically, pairs of microphones are examined, to determine the direction of origin for the speech, by seeking a microphone pair where the speech is strong in the microphone directed toward the source of speech, and weak in an associated microphone directed away from the source of speech. A null, which is located at the back of each microphone, is narrower than a main beam or sensitivity pattern, which is located at the front of each microphone, is more sensitive to and therefore a better indicator of the direction of origin for the speech than is the main beam.

Title: Method for demodulating high-level M-QAM signals without knowledge of the transmitted symbols
Inventor: SCHMIDT KURT DR
IPC: H04L27/38
Filed: 1997-08-04
Abstract: The method involves calculating a clock phase error. The estimated error is used for compensating the corresponding time-shift of the base band signals using interpolation. The carrier frequency shift and the carrier phase shift are calculated using the maximum likelihood theory with use of the Fourier transformation or applying convolution in the time domain. The frequency and phase shifts are used to compensate the data sequence. Preferably, the ratio of the calculated mean value of the symbol values to the statistical symbol mean value of the MQAM modulation is calculated. The calculated ratio corresponds to the dynamic error and is used for the dynamic compensation of the sampled data sequence.
