摘要:
The present invention concerns configuration of a new category of integrated circuitry for adaptive computing. The various embodiments provide an executable information module for an adaptive computing engine (ACE) integrated circuit and may include configuration information, operand data, and may also include routing and power control information. The ACE IC comprises a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements coupled to an interconnection network. The plurality of heterogeneous computational elements include corresponding computational elements having fixed and differing architectures, such as fixed architectures for different functions such as memory, addition, multiplication, complex multiplication, subtraction, configuration, reconfiguration, control, input, output, and field programmability. In response to configuration information, the interconnection network is operative to configure the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a plurality of different functional modes.

The present invention is directed to a locomotive comprising energy storage units, such as batteries, a prime energy source, such as a diesel engine, and an energy conversion device, such as a generator. The locomotive comprises one or more of the following features: a separate chopper circuit for each traction motor; energy storage units that can be switched from parallel to series electrical connections, an fluid-activated anti-lock brake system, a controller operable to control separately and independently each axle/traction motor, and a controller operable to control automatically a speed of the locomotive. The present invention includes an integrated system for monitoring, controlling and optimizing an electrically powered locomotive using a combination of sensors and software to provide feedback that optimizes power train efficiency and individual drive axle performance for a locomotive that utilizes one of several possible electrical energy storage systems to provide the tractive power. The net result is a locomotive that has an integrated system of control over all aspects of the locomotive power train including control over individual drive axles, especially during acceleration, braking and non-synchronous wheel slip.

A medical device containing an inflatable balloon structure for use in minimally invasive surgery and minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are described herein. The device is delivered by a catheter and expanded using gases, liquids or liquids that solidify in situ. The inflatable balloon may be constructed from a wide variety of materials and may be reinforced by supporting structures, when necessary. The device may form an endoprosthesis in a patient. In the preferred embodiment, the device is used in spinal fusion. Optionally, the device may also be used in combination with bone graft materials and bioactive factors.

Cellular communications are performed with the mobile phone via the mobile base station.
摘要:
A cellular base station (10) in a digital cellular system employs transmitting circuitry in which voice signals (15) are processed at a low frequency level (12) into two separate paths. A first of the low frequency signals is variably delayed (20), and the first and the other low frequency signals are upconverted to radio frequency level (16,22) for transmission over independent time-spaced transmission paths (26,28) to cellular receivers. A receiver downconverts and demodulates the radio frequency diversity signals, and then combines the demodulated diversity signals to generate an equalized combination diversity signal for receiver output processing.
摘要:
A digital cellular system (10) employs a decoder that decodes control messages encoded by a convolutional tail-biting encoding procedure. The control messages (57) contain 65 bits that are encoded in a 260 bit data frame (59). The decoder reads (112) the first x quadruple bits and writes them also at the end of the data frame bit stream. A Viterbi decoding algorithm (114) is applied to the modified bit stream for x plus 65 steps. A bit stream of (65+x) bits is selected (116) from a best value path and y first bits are discarded from the selected stream. The output decoded message (118) includes bits (y+1) through (y+65).
