  • Patent number: 5516985
    Abstract: A cable end cap including a tubular sleeve (3), which is closed at a front end and is made of a thermoplastic material, and an elastomer sealing element (4) with sealing lips (41). Sleeve (3) and sealing element (4) are connected sealingly together by a mounting ring (10). Thus, cut off cable ends can be sealed reliably with little complexity.

  • Patent number: 4430722
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for correlating first and second signals where sampling values of the signals are multiplied together and discrete values of the correlation function are determined. In one embodiment, the signals are sampled at different sampling frequencies such that one sampling frequency is a multiple of the other sampling frequency. A number of the respective last sampling values of the more fully sampled signal are stored and each sampling value of the more rapidly sampled signal is multiplied simultaneously by all of the stored sampling values of the more slowly sampled signal. The results of the multiplication are separately summed corresponding to equal time displacements between the multiplied sampling values. In a further preferred embodiment, a microcomputer is programmed for sampling the two signals with sampling frequencies having a ratio 1:k. The more slowly sampled signals are stored in an n stage register.
