08 Sep 2003TL;DR: A multi-alarm misuse correlation component based on the chronicles formalism allows us to reduce the number of alarms shipped to the operator and enhances the quality of the diagnosis provided.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a multi-alarm misuse correlation component based on the chronicles formalism. Chronicles provide a high level declarative language and a recognition system that is used in other areas where dynamic systems are monitored. This formalism allows us to reduce the number of alarms shipped to the operator and enhances the quality of the diagnosis provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular power distribution at a mobile station in downtown Paris at 890 MHz was measured using a high-resolution measurement method, with an angular resolution of better than 1/spl deg/ in both azimuth and elevation and a delay resolution of 33 ns.
Abstract: We measured the angular power distribution at the mobile station in downtown Paris at 890 MHz. The transmit antenna was omnidirectional and placed high above rooftops. The receiver antenna, a 21/spl times/41 element rectangular synthetic array, was located on the roof of a van. The refined high-resolution evaluation method, particularly robust against nonstationary signal components, allows an angular resolution of better than 1/spl deg/ in both azimuth and elevation and a delay resolution of 33 ns. Combined angular/temporal domain measurements are crucial for the understanding of the propagation mechanisms. The evaluated sites showed strongly street-dominated propagation. We found a combined circular and rectangular distribution of scatterers around the mobile station in street-dominated environments. Propagation over the roofs was significant; typically 65% of energy was incident with elevation larger than 100. Our results corroborate the hypothesis on the importance of multiple reflections/diffractions in urban macro cells. We explain this behavior by two reasons: narrow streets favoring a canyon effect and strong scatterers without line-of-sight (LOS) to the mobile station.

14 Oct 2003TL;DR: A slave robot carrying an ultrasound probe for remote echographic examination integrated in a master-slave system called robotic tele-echography (TER), which allows an expert operator to perform a remote diagnosis from echography data he acquires on a patient located in a distant place.
Abstract: This paper presents a slave robot carrying an ultrasound probe for remote echographic examination. This robot is integrated in a master-slave system called robotic tele-echography (TER). The system allows an expert operator to perform a remote diagnosis from echographic data he acquires on a patient located in a distant place. The originality of this robot lies in its architecture: the cable-driven robot is lightweight and semirigid, and it is positioned on the patient body. In this paper, we describe the clinical application, the system architecture, the second implementation of the robot, and experiments performed with this prototype.

TL;DR: This paper presents the first VLSI single chip dedicated to the computation of direct or inverse fast Fourier transforms of up to 8192 complex points, and could therefore be introduced in the coming years in digital terrestrial TV receivers at low cost.
Abstract: Large-scale single-frequency networks are now being considered in Europe as very promising network topologies to achieve drastic savings in spectrum usage for digital terrestrial television transmission. Such networks are possible using the COFDM system, with large guard intervals (more than 200 /spl mu/s) to absorb long echoes. In order to limit the spectral efficiency loss to about 20%, very long size fast Fourier transforms (up to 8 K complex points) have to be performed in real time for the demodulation of every COFDM symbol (every 1 ms). This paper presents the first VLSI single chip dedicated to the computation of direct or inverse fast Fourier transforms of up to 8192 complex points. Due to its pipelined architecture, it can perform an 8 K FFT every 400 /spl mu/s and a 1 K FFT every 50 /spl mu/s. All the storage is onchip, so that no external memories are required. A new internal result scaling technique, called convergent block floating point, has been introduced in order to minimize the required storage for a given quantization noise, The chip, 1 cm/sup 2/ large with 1.5 million transistors, has been designed in a 3.3 V-0.5 /spl mu/m triple-level metal CMOS process and is fully functional. The 8 K complex FFT function could therefore be introduced in the coming years in digital terrestrial TV receivers at low cost. >

20 Sep 2004TL;DR: In this paper, a method for controlling a transmitting power for a transmitter in a wireless communications network consisting in identifying entities adjacent to said transmitter, identifying amongst said adjacent entities a minimum constellation associated to the transmitter, and adjusting the transmitting power of the transmitter to a minimum value, thereby enabling a message transmitted thereby to simultaneously reach the entities of the minimum constellation, peripherial entities whose minimum constellation includes the transmitter and each identified peripherial entity.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a transmitting power for a transmitter in a wire-less communications network consisting in identifying entities adjacent to said transmitter, identifying amongst said adjacent entities a minimum constellation associated to the transmitter, identifying, if necessary amongst the adjacent entities not belonging to said minimum constellation, peripherial entities whose minimum constellation includes the transmitter and in adjusting the transmitting power of the transmitter to a minimum value, thereby enabling a message transmitted thereby to simultaneously reach the entities of the minimum constellation associated to said transmitter and each identified peripherial entity.
