Abstract: Method and communications controller for processing of encoded information by a battery-powered active transponder. It is particularly provided for the application within a transponder system for the wireless payment of road toll, whereby the transponder over an antenna receives modulated microwave radiation of preset frequency for obtaining an input signal which is demodulated for obtaining a binary input data sequence. This is then fed to a digital processor (microcontroller) operated by a processing clock of preset clock frequency, for decoding and generating of a binary output data sequence, from which within a certain duration as an answer to the received input signal an output signal is formed, which is transmitted over the antenna of the transponder. For reducing the load of the battery of the transponder by the pulse-like occuring current demand of the processor with at the same time a relative short duration between the receiving of the input signal and the irradiating of the output signal, the data of the decoded input data sequence are parallel processed by the processor (17) with a relative low clock frequency. A plurality of processor modules (19-22) of the processor (17) which are integrated to a processing unit realizing the parallel occuring processing of data of the decoded input data sequence and are operated by a timing generator (symbol clock retrieving circuit 18) with a relative low clock frequency of the processing clock rate.

Title: Oil annulus to circumferentially equalize oil feed to inner race of a bearing
Inventor: DUSZA EDWARD
IPC: F16C37/00
Filed: 2002-04-10
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: A ball bearing assembly (10) whereby the inner ring (16) is split into a loaded half (18) and a non-loaded half (19). The cage lan ds (48,50) on the inner ring halves (18,19) support the cage ring (30). An annular groove (34) having a non-rectangular cross-section is disposed at the inner ring bore and at the split face (22). A plurality of radial grooves (44) extend in the split face (22) of one inner ring half (18,19) to form radial passages between the annular groove (34) and the inner race (26) for directing oil under centrifugal forces collected in the annular groove (34), into the inner race (26). The bottom section of the annular groove (34) acts as a reservoir (38) to feed all the radial passages (44) as well as provide a longer residence time for the oil on loaded inner ring surfaces. The annular reservoir (38) circumferentially equalizes the oil supply to the radial split face passages (44) and increases heat transfer to the oil since it is located in the loaded inner ring half (18) where substantial frictional heat generation occurs. As a result, a preferential cooling of the loaded half (18) of the inner ring (26) is provided. The invention can be broadly applied to cool and lubricate rotating parts in rotary machines, especially in high speed applications.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif atténuateur de bruit et un procédé d'atténuation de bruit garantissant une atténuation de bruit adéquate sans augmentation dangereuse de la contre-pression (créant une force d'arrachage) ou baisse de la performance du dispositif. Du gaz pressurisé est injecté dans une chambre de commande par un trou de prélèvement comprenant une zone de prélèvement efficace et, au cours de l'utilisation du dispositif pour une distribution particulière, du gaz est évacué dans l'atmosphère par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif atténuateur de bruit possédant une zone de ventilation efficace. La zone de prélèvement et la zone de ventilation sont sélectionnées de manière à garantir que le débit de masse du gaz à travers la zone de ventilation efficace soit sensiblement égal ou supérieur au débit de masse du gaz à travers la zone de prélèvement efficace. Ceci permet d'éviter une accumulation de gaz dans le dispositif atténuateur de bruit tendant à augmenter la contre-pression et, par conséquent, la force d'arrachage. Les modes de réalisation préférés du dispositif comprennent un dispositif atténuateur de bruit à large volume et une petite ouverture de sortie des particules. L'invention concerne, de plus, un mode de réalisation utilisant un ou plusieurs conduits de transfert servant au mélange des particules.

Title: Dynamic reconfiguration of encryption upon detection of intrusion
Inventor: SHIEH JOHNNY MENG-HAN
IPC: H04W12/02
Filed: 2002-10-28
Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: The present invention involves the recognition that since an eavesdropper listening adjacent to a wireless LAN is likely to be mobile and operating on a short time cycle, he himself is likely to be wirelessly transmitting his test message. Consequently, the present invention provides the combination of apparatus for eavesdropping within an area layer adjacent to and surrounding the LAN area periphery for potential wireless transmissions of an intruder having a lower frequency within a level below the LAN frequency and addressed to the network location of any one of the computer terminals in the LAN; and an implementation responsive to said eavesdropping means for changing the encryption code of said encrypted wireless transmission upon the eavesdropping detection of a wireless transmission of said lower frequency addressed to a network location of one of the terminals in said LAN. There is the recognition that there are several factors contributing to the success of the process of the invention. It is likely that the intruder must send his message at a lower frequency than the 2.4 GHz frequency of the LAN area transmissions because the intruder will probably have to reach a base station tower over a longer distance or range than the adjacent target wireless LAN facility. This insures that the eavesdropping of the present invention will be at a lower frequency and, thus, not interfered with by the transmissions within the LAN.

Granted: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A system for determining polarization of a gas comprises a container that contains the polarized gas. An oscillator circuit comprises an NMR coil that is positioned adjacent to the container. A pulse generator circuit is configured to generate an electrical pulse that may be transmitted to the optical cell through the NMR coil to excite the polarized gas responsive to a control processor. A Q-reduction circuit that is independent of the pulse generator circuit is configured to reduce oscillations in the oscillator circuit from the transmitted electrical pulse responsive to the control processor. A receive circuit is responsive to an electrical signal that is induced in the oscillator circuit due to the electromagnetic excitation of the polarized gas. The control processor is configured to determine the polarization of the gas based on the output signal of the receive circuit. A polarimetry circuit for determining polarization of a gas includes an NMR coil that may be configured to excite a polarized gas and be responsive to an electromagnetic signal generated by the excited, polarized gas. The polarimetry circuit has a reproducible polarization measurement variability of less than 2% when the NMR coil is exposed to a temperature in a range of about 0 ~C to about 200 ~C. Moreover, circuit-to-circuit polarization measurement variability may be less than about 3%
