Abstract: A backward closed loop power control apparatus for a mobile communication system is disclosed.

Abstract: There is provided a method for checking a speech channel of a base station and a vocoder of a control station in a mobile communication system, in which its operation station designates specific multiple vocoder of the control station and specific multiple speech channels of the base station to establish a call, to check if the vocoders and speech channels are poor, and when they are confirmed to be poor the operation station does not allow call services through the poor vocoder and speech channel, thereby continuously maintaining high quality call services.

Abstract: A method of filling a defined embroidery pattern shape, with the shape comprising a curve defining the shape, fills the pattern shape with a plurality of turning satin-like embroidery stitches which turn to follow the defined shape. In carrying out the method, the density inset for the next adjacent satin-like embroidery stitch is dynamically varied in accordance with any change in the defined shape from the previous stitch, taking into account the stitch length and stitch angle. The process is iteratively repeated , using the predefined perpendicular distance from the previous stitch end point to the new stitch end point until the defined shape is completely filled.

Abstract: A modulator-demodulator (modem) used in radio interface unit (RIU) is modeled as master and slave, respectively, so as to allow a rapid handling of service, a stabilized system, and an efficient utilization of wireless systems.

Abstract: A device for coding image information, which is a shape encoder for splitting an image transferred from an image input into an object image and a background image that have predetermined shape information, includes: a boundary block merge block for merging boundary blocks including both the object and background images out of shape information received, by using a boundary block merge technique; a variable length coding block for variable-length-coding the merged boundary blocks received from the boundary block merge block; and a variable length coding table memory for storing variable length coding tables which are used when the merged boundary blocks are variable-length-coded by the variable length coding block.

Abstract: A method of making a flexible coaxial cable comprises the steps of providing a resiliently compressible dielectric core having an inner conductor, such as a core comprised of wrapped expanded Teflon tape or a compressible foam material having memory, which is compressed and drawn through a flexible hollow outer conductive sheath comprising a corrugated portion having a plurality of peaks and valleys of predetermined pitch. The innermost circumference of the sheath is less than the outermost extent of the dielectric core so that when the compressed core has been drawn through the sheath, it expands to lock the core to the sheath. An air pressure against the convolutions of the sheath to prevent elongation of the pitch when the oversized compressed core is pulled through.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Wire Harness System method. This method is for aiding in the manufacture, repair, and testing of wire harnesses, wherein the method is run on a computer processor. The method further operates in a data acquisition mode and a display mode.

Abstract: An embroidery system having an embroidery machine for automatically stitching embroidery stitch patterns on a garment and a machine controller for selectably controlling the operation of the embroidery machine in response to user provided selections, the improvement involves the use of a Windows CE based graphical user interface, such as a PDA, which is located between the user and the machine controller to provide user selections through the graphical user interface for directing the machine controller. The embroidery system has an associated embroidery functionality and the graphical user interface has a defined system architecture which may selectably enhance the embroidery system functionality by selectably adding software modules to the graphical user interface, such as to control the creation of embroidery lettering, to provide maintenance monitoring either locally or over the Internet, or to enable communication with the embroidery machine over a network.

Abstract: A predictive coding in a video coding system, which can enhance the coding efficiency by predictively coding DC coefficients of a block to be coded using DC gradients of a plurality of previously coded neighboring blocks. The predictive coefficient is selected according to the difference between the quantized DC gradients (coefficients) of a plurality of neighboring blocks of the block to be coded, and the DC coefficient of the block to be coded is predictively coded by the selected predictive coefficient, thereby enhancing the coding efficiency.

Abstract: A web based embroidery system capable of creating an automatically fulfilling a user customized embroidery order for a selectable garment over the internet. The system includes the ability to select the garment to be customized over the internet, to selectably locate an embroidery area on that garment, to select a customized embroidery pattern over the internet to be located in the user selected embroidery area, the ability to display an embroided simulation of the user located customized embroidery pattern on the selected garment, and the ability to provide embroidery pattern controlled signals over the internet to a remotely located embroidery machine for automatically stitching the user located customized embroidery pattern on an actual garment corresponding to the selected garment based on the displayed embroided simulation, which maybe a three dimensional simulation. In addition, customized embroidery lettering can be created and may be combined with a preexisting embroidery pattern.

Abstract: A compact disk auto-exchanger and a method thereof which are capable of more rapidly and accurately moving a compact disk arranged in a magazine to a compact disk player, and loading/unloading the compact disk arranged in a compact disk mechanism into/from the magazine within a limited space.

Abstract: A fiber optic bundle interface cooling system and apparatus is provided. Optical fibers are in part enclosed in a chamber, with the bundle interface facing a windowed wall. A separation plate with apertures is spaced apart from the bundle interface, and the optical fibers extend through the apertures. Fluid enters the chamber and passes through the interstitial channels of the bundle interface to remove heat, and exits the chamber. The apparatus for cooling a FO bundle interface has a chamber with a separation plate, a windowed wall, and a fiber optic clamp for holding the bundle interface in place. A pump is operatively connected to the chamber for moving fluid.

Abstract: An improved grid moving method using a selective pixel search method and an apparatus using the grid moving method which are capable of forming a grid with respect to an image of an object having a shape information and/or an image information, defining a unit region, moving the thusly formed grid, re-constructing an image grid, so that it is possible to reduce the number of blocks which are occupied by an object to be coded, thus significantly reducing the amount of computation and increasing a computation speed.

Abstract: A system and method for selectively generating provider application forms required to be submitted to health care provider organizations by physicians and related health care professionals. Physician credentialing profiles containing physician credentialing information are stored into a system database together with a plurality of different provider application formats associated with particular application forms which are completed selected data extracted from the common information contained in the stored physician credentialing profiles. The method automatically inputs a subset of physician credentialing information required by a particular selected provider application format into the provider application form associated with that format and generates the particular provider application form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pole head for supporting conductors on poles for medium- and high-voltage overhead power lines, having at least one tubular portion which has a structural function, is made of electrically insulating composite material, and is fixed to a supporting structure. Coupling flanges for supporting the electrical conductors are connected to the at least one tubular portion and are mutually spaced along the axis of the tubular portion.
