    摘要: A thermopneumatic support device for providing support over a range of positions for objects, such as high temperature steam piping, subject to temperature changes and thus to changes in position resulting from thermal expansion or contraction. The device utilizes the heat energy of the object being supported in order to provide the necessary power to move the object over a range of positions. The heat energy from the object being supported provides the power for moving the thermopneumatic support in direct proportion to the expansion or contraction resulting from the variation in temperature of the object being supported. The device comprises pneumatic actuating means comprising a sealed chamber containing a fixed mass of a compressible fluid which is in thermal contact with the object being supported. Pressure changes in the enclosed compressible fluid results in direct proportion to pressure changes of the fluid which in turn causes movement of the support means in response to temperature changes in the object being supported. There are coupling and linking means provided between the support means and the pipe and the support means and a stationary support respectively.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for obtaining a soft symbol decoded output of a received signal by a two pass Viterbi operation. The technique is especially advantageous where the signal is convolutionally encoded with large constraint lengths. During the first pass, the error-correction co-processor (ECCP) is programmed for hard decoded output alone. After all the received symbol sets are hard-bit decoded, a second pass Viterbi operation is performed. Using the previously decoded hard bit to identify the most likely next state at an initial time instant, and initializing the present states at that initial time instant with pre-saved accumulated costs from the first pass Viterbi operation, branch metrics are computed for those state transitions leading to the most likely next state at that time instant. The accumulated cost values of the present states leading to the most likely next state are updated, and the absolute value of their difference is coded as a reliability of the hard decoded output corresponding to that time instant. The combination of the hard decoded output and the reliability obtained from the second pass Viterbi operation results in a soft symbol decoded output. At this point, the symbol set received at this time instant during the first pass Viterbi operation is reloaded into the ECCP which updates the accumulated cost values of all possible next states. These steps are repeated until all desired soft symbols are obtained.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a device for generating multiple spreading sequences efficiently. In a preferred embodiment, the eight different spreading sequences are generated in parallel. In this embodiment, the spreading sequence generator comprises a master sequence generator and eight secondary sequence generators. The spreading sequence generator also comprises eight different modulo-2 adders which are used for generating parity check sum outputs. The master sequence generator is responsible for creating a master output from the first subgroup. The secondary sequence generators create eight different secondary outputs. Each of the secondary outputs is combined with the master output through one of the eight modulo-2 adders to create eight different spreading sequences. In an alternative embodiment, the principles of the present invention may be used to generate such spreading sequences in a sequential manner. Both embodiments provide efficiency and power savings over the prior art method and apparatus.

    摘要: A system and method for remotely triggering an audible alarm within a mobile phone is disclosed. A remote user calls the mobile phone and enters a personal identification number (PIN) attached to a remote calling device. The PIN is processed either within the mobile phone or within a central service. The PIN is compared to a pre-stored PIN. A match between the previously stored PIN and the PIN entered by the user produces a signal that triggers an audible alarm within mobile phone to deter theft and assist in recovery of a stolen mobile phone.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is presented for establishing an equivalence between the Hamming branch metric scheme and the Manhattan branch metric scheme. A signal format converter is presented to convert input signal in a first number system such as binary or two's complement, into a second number system. The signal format converter implemented at the input to a Viterbi decoder allows the use of a Viterbi decoder designed for a Manhattan metric sceme in an application where the signals are represented in two's complement. Similarly a Viterbi decoder designed for a Hamming metric scheme can be implemented in an application where the signals are represented in unsigned binary. The signal format converter can be used with both a hard decision Viterbi decoder and a soft decision Viterbi decoder. Where a soft decision Viterbi decoder is used the soft symbol of a Manhattan metric scheme based Viterbi decoder can be converted to an equivalent Hamming soft symbol by taking the two's complement of the absolute value of the accumulated cost difference. Where the Viterbi decoder is based on a Hamming metric scheme, an equivalent Manhattan soft symbol can be obtained by taking the absolute value of the soft symbol decoded output.
