Abstract: An EPR4 detector (36) comprises a PR4
Viterbi detector (38) and an EPR4
post-processor (40) for improving estimated
output sequence at an output of the
PR4 Viterbi detector (38). The PR4 Viterbi detector (38)
produces digital estimates of coded
digital information values into the channel in accordance with a path
through a PR4 trellis and produces other path information relating to other
paths through the PR4 trellis.
The EPR4 post-processor (40) has a PR4 path
storage circuit for receiving and storing the estimated sequence of coded
digital information values which corresponds to a PR4 path through a
sequence of states of an EPR4 trellis; an error-event selection circuit for
receiving the other path information from the PR4 Viterbi detector for
generating non-overlapping error-events from a set of error-events
deviating from the PR4 path through the EPR4 trellis stored in the PR4
path storage circuit, and a path correction circuit connected to the PR4 path
storage circuit and to the error-event selection circuit for correcting non-overlapping
error-events deviating from the PR4 path through the EPR4
trellis, and for putting out a corrected estimated sequence of coded digital
information values. An EPR4 detection method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved yoke socket (20) for use with separate
leads (10) and plugs (12) such as those used with
electrocardiogram devices provides detents to guard against
accidental disconnection of plugs from the socket. A first
surface of the yoke socket bears a row of apertures (28)
into which can be inserted connectors born by the
individual lead plugs. A groove penetrates a second
surface of the yoke socket to expose the inserted
connectors. Each connector has a notch (19) that acts in
concert with a retaining rod (32) placed within the groove
to retain the plug against accidental detaching. The
retaining rod comprises a series of expanded or bead-like
portions (32a) connected by thinner rod portions (32b).
The expanded portion is sized to protrude into each
aperture from the groove to serve as a detent by
interacting with the notch of an inserted connector. The
entire retaining rod is backed by a layer of compressed
elastomer such as rubber which acts to bias the retaining
rod into contact with the connector. A two piece plug
combiner is also provided for temporarily aggregating a
group of lead plugs into a single unit.

Abstract: An improved cellular telephone communication system
is described having operational steps which prevent a
call from being dropped due to a radiotelephone (130) not
receiving a handoff instruction from its host base site
(115). The system includes a switch controller (122) for
determining that the radiotelephone requires a handoff
from a first base site coverage area (110) to a second
base site coverage area (112) and for communicating a
handoff message to the associated first (115) and second
base site equipment (119). The first base site equipment
then transmits the handoff message to the radiotelephone.
If the radiotelephone does not receive the message, it
determines that the call has been lost, siezes a
signalling channel from the second base site, and
requests, via the second base site a call reconnection by
transmitting a special message. The second base site
then informs the radiotelephone of the handoff
instruction and the handoff is completed with a
successful reconnection of the call.

Abstract: A payload design (100) for a multi-spot-beam satellite communication
system includes a plurality of uplink spot beam receivers
(102) and downlink spot beam transmitters (104), and a
broadcast transmitting subsystem (122, 124 and 130) capable of
transmitting a broadcast beam (22) to an entire system geographical
service area. An input filter-switch-matrix (IFSM
132) controllably selects input IF signal bands for routing to
an on-board digital signal processor-router (DSPR 120). The
DSPR (120) subsequently routes all received point-to-point and
broadcast data packets to the appropriate downlink spot or
broadcast transmitting subsystems for transmission thereof. The
broadcast downlink allows broadcast transmissions to occur at
the highest efficiency possible, while also allowing for flexible
provision of surge capacity for point-to-point transmissions
on previously exhausted spot beams by selective use of
the broadcast beam for such point-to-point transmissions

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for
the determination of a quality of a bonded area in a
boxmaking blank, which are suited for use with a boxmaking
apparatus adapted to continuously assemble boxes
from such boxmaking blanks (1). Owing to an ingenious
elaboration made on the manner of formation of an image
of the boded area (1C), the method and system permit an
easy determination as to whether the bonded area (1C)
is good or bad. First, a light source (10) and image
pick-up means (11) are adjusted in position so that
they are set in directions corresponding to a position
of the bonded area (1C) of the blank (1) travelling on
and along a production line and a direction of formation
of an image by the image pick-up means (11) extends
at an angle relative to a direction of an optical
axis of sheetlike light from the light source (10).
The sheetlike light is then irradiated from the light
source (10) toward the bonded area (1C) so that the
sheetlike light extends across a gap (1D) formed in the
bonded area (1C), whereby an image of the bonded area
(1C) is formed. Based on information of the image, a
width of the gap (1D) is computed to conduct a
determination as to whether the gap (1D) is good or
bad.

Abstract: An integrated circuit in a package having a ground(13)

and/or power ring, the bond wires further coupled to signal traces
(21). A semiconductor integrated circuit (17) is provided in a
die cavity (12) in a substrate. Signal traces are formed on the
surface of the substrate (11). At least one conductive area is
formed surrounding the die cavity. At least one signal trace is
formed on the substrate and electrically isolated from the
conductive ring. Bond wires are used to couple the die bond pads
(21) to the signal traces. At least some of the bond wires are
coupled to signal traces and must cross the conductive ring. The
bond wires are raised a clearance distance over the power or
ground ring by forming a spacer (24) on the inner end of the
signal traces. The spacer formed on the signal trace then
provides a clearance spacing to prevent the bond wires which cross
the power ring from becoming shorted to the power ring. Typically,
the spacer is formed as a bond wire ball placed on the signal
trace. Typically the conductive ring is used as a ground ring, or
as a voltage supply ring, for the integrated circuit. Multiple
power or ground rings are used in some embodiments. Other
devices and methods are described.

Abstract: An improved printing system is provided that
compresses bitmap print data by determining, per each
slice of a swath of the printed page, which one of two
different data compression techniques more efficiently
compresses each individual slice, then temporarily
stores this compressed data in a memory circuit until
needed by the printhead for actual printing of the final
output in the form of print media. The two data
compression techniques used are called a "USE-X MODE"
and a "REPEAT MODE." The invention utilizes a single
control bit of a control word to represent each of the
data words of the slice. In the "USE-X" mode, the
control bit for any data word which is equal to 0000 16 
will be set to Logic 1, and that word can be eliminated
from the information stored as compressed data. In the
"REPEAT" mode, the control bit value for each data word
of a slice will be set to Logic 1 if this data word's
hexadecimal value is equal to the previous data word's
hexadecimal value.
