Patent number: 5014284Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing electrical signals by modifying delta modulation to discrete slope delta modulation includes converting its electrical signals into compressed digital information, and representing this digital information as a sequence of slops or deltas added to the past value of the representation. For each sample period, a slope is chosen from slope tables having multiple entries and each choice is represented by a Huffman code. Signal compression occurs in two steps: first the selection of a small number of possible slopes provides compression and also the most probable slopes are represented by the shortest Huffman codes providing additional compression. Depending on the history of the slope chosen, multiple tables can be accessed with different slop entries. Two check point values are provided which code absolute output levels instead of slopes in order to facilitate recovery of the signal in the event of transmission errors.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1989Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Assignee: Cardiac Telecom CorporationInventors: Alois A. Langer, Khalil J. Maalouf

Patent number: 4812724Abstract: A control system for an angiographic injector which precisely regulates the speed of a motor used to expel contrast media from a syringe. The control system is centered around a microprocessor which receives commands from the operator via a keyboard, and then regulates the speed of the motor by supplying drive command pulses to a circuit which integrates the difference in frequency between the command pulses and another pulse train whose frequency is proportional to actual motor speed. The control system also includes a velocity loop which uses the motor back EMF to supply an analog voltage also proportional to motor speed to a difference amplifier in a conventional velocity loop. The system is a dual loop controller where the second loop provides approximate speed control, while the first loop provides a "velocity correction" voltage required to bring the system to zero steady state speed error.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1984Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignee: Liebel-Flarsheim CorporationInventors: Alois A.
