Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de compensation (fig. 2A) destiné à améliorer la précision des signaux numériques communiqués à travers un réseau numérique (113, fig. 1), par réduction des pertes venant de la quantification d'atténuation (DAQ) et de la signalisation de vols de bits (RBS). Ledit système de compensation combiné DAQ/RBS peut être utilisé dans le modem d'émission (101) connecté au réseau numérique. Un premier mécanisme d'ajustement associe une quantité de compensation DAQ à chaque segment de données numériques. Ensuite, le mot est communiqué à un convertisseur (201) linéaire-mu-linéaire, qui est configuré pour simuler une transmission numérique en codant par mu-law chaque mot de données numériques en un mot code, puis en décodant par mu-law chaque code en mot de données numériques linéaires. Le convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire comprend un système (129) de compensation RBS qui fait en sorte qu'une certaine quantité de compensation RBS soit mathématiquement combinée aux données numériques linéaires venant du convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire. Enfin, le mot de données numériques linéaires est passé du convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire à un convertisseur (208) linéaire-mu pour être converti en un môt de code mu-law et transmis au réseau.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for operating a generator with a plurality of generator windings in which a voltage is induced. When rotational speeds or voltage supply are low, at least two of the generator windings are connected in series and when rotational speeds or voltage supply of the individual generator windings are higher, said windings are connected in parallel thereby reducing the voltage of the generator. The overall voltage of the generator is consequently easily maintained in a predetermined range without the need for complicated voltage regulators. High output voltages are also produced when rotational speeds are low and operate electrical apparatus, in particular fuel injection devices. The process according to the invention can also be used for other active voltage sources, such as solar cells, batteries etc. which do not provide a constant voltage supply but have consumers which require a substantially constant voltage.

Abstract: The use of rerouting when setting up connections under high load conditions results in greater network blockages than if rerouting is not used. Therefore, according to the invention, a rerouting-monitoring system is introduced which monitors the efficiency of rerouting for a respective traffic relation and switches off rerouting when the latter becomes too ineffective.

Abstract: The methods for channel assignment and channel reassignment are suitable for SDMA systems that accommodate the dynamically adaptive spatial channel conditions and allow for more frequent reuse of conventional channels. Three methods for uplink channel assignment are described: a cost function method, a predictive method, and a hierarchical method. The cost function method computes a cost function for each conventional channel based on a weighted correlation matrix of spatial signatures (vectors) of active subscribers. A spatial channel is created for the selected conventional channel if it is in use. The predictive channel assignment method predicts the uplink received power and interference-plus-noise for each conventional channel. Either the conventional channel with the minimum interference-plus-noise level or the channel with the maximal SINR is selected and a spatial channel is also assigned if the selected channel is in use. The hierarchical method combines the cost function method and the cost function method. The downlink channel assignment method, when not constrained by the uplink channel assignment, assigns a conventional channel to a new connection by estimating the downlink interference-plus-noise level from a subscriber report, spatial signature and weight vector, and computing a predicted downlink received signal level. Three methods for call admission control include: a cost function method, a predictive method, and a load based channel assignment method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: One type of DVD disc is called DVD ROM and intended for use in a DVD ROM drive which is part of a PC. The DVD disc suppliers are interested in encrypting DVD data in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the data. In a computer, the DVD ROM drive has the capability to copy data onto another storage media where it could be pirated. When encoding a disc, the error correction and/or error detection bits (ICP) are exchanged with normal data (MD) or data words are replaced by transformed data words. The reverse processing is carried out when replaying the disc. When this scrambled data is output from a standard DVD ROM drive, the data in the check byte area is lost and the information is not useable.

Abstract: The inclination of a structure A eg the seat of a stair lift is measured using an inclinometer attached to the structure comprising an arm section B carrying a strain measuring sensor C. An inertial mass O is attached to the end of the arm section B and any deviation in inclination of the structure results in strain being detected by the measuring element C. The inertial mass comprises a ring of material which is free to rotate about the axis of the bearing about which the seat frame rotates relative to the chassis. The output of the sensor is used to maintain the seat in a horizonal position at all times.
