Patent EP-0892582-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SPILLE JENS
IPC: H04H20/88
Filed: 1998-05-11
Abstract: For audio coding, the MPEG-2 standard provides
for a spatial representation by multi-channel
reproduction. In order to ensure backwards compatibility
with MPEG-1 signals, the signals of the multi-channel
sound channels are matrixed. Before being matrixed, the
audio signals generally have their levels reduced in
order to prevent overdriving. In order to balance again
the reduction at the encoder end, an option that is
provided in the MPEG-2 standard is for a decoder to raise
the output levels again. If, however, a transmission
error then occurs in the multi-channel section, the
decoder cannot carry out the reverse matrixing. In that
case, only the MPEG-1-compatible signal component will be
decoded. The auditory impression can therefore be
disturbed in various ways during the changeover to MPEG-1
decoding. According to the invention, in the event of
errors being detected in the supplementary signals, a
portion of the multi-channel audio signals is cross-faded
to the MPEG-1-compatible signal components and/or a
further portion of the multi-channel audio signals is set
to zero, in which case, at the decoder end, level raising
of the MPEG-1-compatible signal components can be
effected prior to the cross-fading of the multi-channel
audio signals.

Abstract: In an optical space communication apparatus, a
first electrical signal is converted into a first
optical signal, and the first optical signal is
transmitted to a partner apparatus in the form of a
first light beam. A second light beam transmitted from
the partner apparatus is received to thereby detect a
second optical signal by a photodetector of the optical
space communication apparatus. The second optical
signal is converted into a second electrical signal. A
transmission direction of the first light beam and
reception direction of the second light beam are
changed in a direction to maximize an intensity of the
second electrical signal obtained by converting the
second optical signal detected by the photodetector.

Abstract: An inflation apparatus that includes at least two
inflators for selected use in inflating an air bag is
disclosed. In one embodiment, the two inflators include a
micro hybrid inflator and a pyrotechnic inflator. The micro
hybrid inflator includes a pressurized medium having oxygen
that contributes to the inflation gases that fill the
inflatable. The pyrotechnic inflator is essentially free of
any such stored gas. Both inflators include a fuel-rich gas
generating material. In another embodiment, instead of a
micro hybrid inflator, another pyrotechnic inflator is
utilized that includes an oxygen-rich gas generating material.
In still another embodiment, a fluid fuel acts as a source of
oxygen for the fuel-rich gas generating material of the
pyrotechnic inflator. When both inflators of the dual
inflation apparatus are activated, the oxygen gas that is
present is used in further combusting products of combustion
from the pyrotechnic inflator having the fuel-rich gas
generating material. Preferably, activation of each inflator
depends upon whether the vehicle collision that results in air
bag activation is low impact or high impact. In at least one
embodiment, the two inflators can be affixed to a support
assembly with a desired arrangement of the inflators to
provide a low profile and reduced space usage by the inflation
apparatus.

Abstract: A circuit breaker (10) has a housing (12). A crossbar (114) is pivotally
connected to the housing to pivot about an axis (117) between open and closed
positions. A load contact arm (110) is pivotally connected to the crossbar (114). The
load contact arm (110) is capable of pivoting about the axis (117). A cam mechanism
(140) is mechanically coupled to the load contact arm (110). The cam mechanism (140)
is slideably mounted within the crossbar (114) for movement between first and second
positions. In the first position of the cam mechanism (140), the load contact arm (110)
pivots through an angle (β) about the axis, relative to the crossbar (114) between the
"touch" and closed positions, and the load contact arm (110) pivots together with the
crossbar (114) through an angle (α) about the axis (117) between the open and "touch"
positions. (2) In the second position of the cam mechanism (140), the load contact arm
(110) is free to pivot about the axis (117) through the angle α to the open position while
the crossbar (114) is in the closed position. A biasing spring (160) applies a biasing
force to bias the cam mechanism (140) towards the first position.

Abstract: The complete structure of human milk BAL cDNA is disclosed. The
nucleotide sequences of the cDNA inserts of two clones overlap and
together contain 2951 base pairs of BAL cDNA which codes for an open
reading frame of 720 amino acid residues between initiation and
termination codons. There is a putative signal sequence of 20 residues
which is followed by a 61-amino-terminal sequence of BAL. The cDNA
sequence also contains a 678-base 5'-untranslated sequence, a 96-base 3'-untranslated
region, and a 14-base poly(A) tail. The deduced BAL protein
structure contains in the carboxyl-terminal region fourteen repeating units
of 11 amino acids each. The repeating units have the basic structure of
Pro-Val-Pro-Pro-Thr-Gly-Asp-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-, with only minor
substitutions. The cDNA is useful for expression of protein, study of
structure, function and the effect of modification or deletion or addition of
amino acids, including entire repeating units, and as probes for studies
involving BAL or related lipases, including rat pancreatic
lysophospholipase, cholinesterase, and acetylcholinesterase.

Abstract: A method for reliably starting a gas turbine engine
includes commanding a rapid transient enrichment of the
fuel quantity delivered to the engine combustion chamber
24, maintaining the fuel quantity at the enriched level
Wf target  while operating the engine's ignition system, and,
upon the expiration of a fixed time interval At or an
indication of successful ignition t ign , commanding a
derichment to a fuel quantity Wf terminal  equal to that
which would be obtained during a conventional startup
procedure. The degree of transient enrichment depends
on the operating environment and operational state of
the engine. In one embodiment of the invention the rate
of enrichment corresponds to a virtual step change in
the commanded fuel quantity and the rate of derichment
is less than the rate of enrichment.

Abstract: A number of the fish are retained in a defined volume of water where they can behave naturally, but cannot escape. The position of each fish is repeatedly detected. The activity pattern of fish movements is calculated and continuously compared with a stored neutral pattern that was determined during a non-migratory phase of the fish. In the event of a sufficiently large difference between the actual activity pattern and the neutral pattern, a signal is output indicating the migration time. Radio transmitters and antennae may be used for detecting the fish positions. An Independent claim is included for a method of determining migration time. An apparatus is also claimed.

circuit (150) has determined an accordance state, a
register (115) is enabled so that cache data read from the
external memory (130) is stored in a register (115) and
supplied to a cache requester (101). Alternatively, a
means for generating an address corresponding to the next
data of data to be updated in updating the cache data
memory (111) and (112) is provided so as to determine the
cache status of an address being generated. Thus, if the
determined result represents that the cache data has not
been stored, a plurality of data are updated at a time.
Consequently, the mis-hit penalty time can be reduced and
