Patent number: 6630900Abstract: The invention relates to a system suitable for a remote interrogation of passive transponders using chirp signals for interrogation. The transponder preferably has an encoding unit (11), a calibrating unit (12) and a measuring unit (13) each with a plurality of parallel channels (11.1 to 11.5, 12.1 and 13.1 to 13.2). The encoding unit and the calibrating unit are preferably jointly incorporated with a common delay line (14) on the same SAW chip. The interrogation signals received in the transponder via an antenna (10) are delayed characteristically and code-specifically, in particular in the encoding and calibrating unit. Decoding in the interrogation station is preformed by discrete Fourier transformation of the response signal and subsequent evaluation of the spectrum. To correct general disturbing influences on the delay of the response signal, said signal is calibrated using a single calibrating component in the response signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2002Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Assignee: Hera Rotterdam B.V.Inventors: Roland Stierlin, Roland Küng

Patent number: 6584486Abstract: The method serves to add at least two values by means of a circuit. Both input values and output values are represented in differential form, either as a pair of voltages or as a pair of currents. The circuit consists of four transistors; it has a pair of current inputs for one of the input values, a pair of voltage inputs for the other input value, and a pair of current outputs for the output value. The voltage between the two voltage inputs corresponds to the first input value; the quotient of the currents through the two current inputs corresponds to the exponential of the other input value; and the quotient of the currents through the two current outputs corresponds to the exponential of the sum of the two input values. Values represented by voltages are easily transformed into current representation, and vice versa. The method is suitable for a variety of applications and the circuit can be cascaded both with copies of itself and with other circuits.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Anadec GmbHInventors: Markus Helfenstein, Hans-Andrea Loeliger, Felix Lustenberger, Felix Tarköy

Patent number: 6530372Abstract: The present invention provides an automated respiration method involving positive airway pressure. The method comprises a step for measuring the respiratory gas flow and comparing it with a threshold value. A further step is provided for assessing any obstructive respiratory disturbance. An evaluation step evaluates the measurement values and determines whether it is a case of normal breathing, obstructive respiratory disturbance, non-obstructive respiratory disturbance or snoring. Depending on the results provided by the evaluation step, the positive airway pressure is either maintained or modified. It is the advantage of the invention that the respiratory gas flow as well as the airway obstruction are continuously measured, thereby enabling the positive air pressure to be adjusted to different individual states of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1999Date of Patent: March 11, 2003Assignee: MAP Medizintechnik für Arzt und Patient GmbHInventors: Stefan Madaus, Harald Vögele, Jutta Griebel

Patent number: 6467372Abstract: A steering device comprising of a one-piece T-shaped bar stem that is mounted to a head tube and that has two essentially parallel ends to which attachment clamps are mounted, each clamp holding the handlebar tube. The handlebar tube is arranged parallel to the bar stem's ends. The wall thickness of the handlebar tube changes along the longitudinal axis of the handlebar tube. Within reinforcement areas, which serve to receive the attachment clamps, the wall thickness reaches its maximum. Within a first area of the handlebar tube having a constant outer diameter the wall thickness reaches its minimum. To prevent radial recesses within the handlebar tube, intermediate areas are formed, having an inner radius that increases in measure from a radius being equal to the inner radius of the first area to a radius being equal to the radius of the inner radius of the reinforcement area.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Inventor: Jochen Klieber

Patent number: 6443356Abstract: The invention relates to a process for controlling the heat transfer to a workpiece during vapor phase soldering. According to said process, a workpiece placed in a vapor phase is first rapidly heated to a predetermined temperature, and then the temperature is controlled by changing the vapor volume on the workpiece surface. Preferably, a workpiece in the vapor phase is heated to a temperature lower than the melting point of the solder, and then the workpiece is heated at the boundary between the vapor phase and the vapor-free space more slowly to the melting point of the solder. This invention is advantageous in that it provides a process for rapid vapor phase soldering with no undesirable side effects, such as, e.g., formation of solder pearls.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2001Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Inventor: Helmut W.
