20100236312COILER MANDREL - The invention relates to a reel mandrel (09-23-2010

Calogero Bona, Turin IT

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100284493DOWN-SAMPLED IMPULSE RESPONSE CHANNEL ESTIMATION - A method for deriving a channel transfer function from an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal received over a channel and having unmodulated sub-carriers and sub-carriers modulated with symbols, includes the steps of sampling the received OFDM signal at a sampling rate greater than the bandwidth of the OFDM signal, deriving from the sampled OFDM signal a set of time domain coefficients representative of the channel impulse response, and deriving from a subset of the set of time domain coefficients a channel transfer function in the frequency domain.11-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110101109CARD WITH ILLUMINATED CODES FOR USE IN SECURE TRANSACTIONS - A card for use in secure transactions includes a card body having a first major surface and a second major surface, the first major surface having a combination of a plurality of symbols disposed thereon. The card body has a plurality of LEDs disposed in connection with the plurality of preprinted symbols, individual ones of LEDs being disposed to identify respective individual ones of the plurality of symbols when illuminated. An LED controller is coupled to the plurality of LEDs and operable upon actuation to selectively illuminate individual ones of the plurality of LEDs to identify a sub-combination of the plurality of symbols, thereby providing an illuminated one-time code for use in a secure transaction.05-05-2011
20110140841SECURE SMART CARD SYSTEM - A smart card usable in magnetic stripe swipe transactions with a transaction terminal configured to read transaction information encoded on a magnetic stripe of a standard transaction card includes a card body, which includes a magnetic stripe emulator for use with the transaction terminal, a smart card chip programmed with at least one transaction application for providing secured data for use in a transaction and dynamic card verification data, a power supply, and a card controller in communication with the magnetic stripe emulator. The card controller is configured to receive the dynamic card verification data and control the magnetic stripe emulator to emit a magnetic field encoded with at least a portion of the secured data and the dynamic card verification data.06-16-2011

20090311109Variable Displacement Compressor With A Discharge Pressure Compensated Suction Shutoff Valve - A variable displacement compressor with a discharge pressure compensated suction shutoff valve (SSV). The SSV prevents noise generated at low refrigerant flow rates by a suction valve from propagating out of the compressor and to an air conditioner evaporator by variably restricting a fluid communication with the suction valve. The SSV is configured so the variable restriction is increased correspondingly with the discharge pressure if the discharge pressure is less than a threshold that is an indicator of low refrigerant flow rates, and the restriction is decreased if the discharge pressure is greater than the threshold.12-17-2009

20090205347Variable Displacement Compressor With A Compensated Suction Shufoff Valve - A variable displacement compressor with a compensated suction shutoff valve (SSV). The SSV prevents noise generated by a suction reed valve at low refrigerant flow rates in an internal suction region from propagating to an air conditioner evaporator by moving a piston to obstruct an opening and restrict fluid communication. The degree of restriction is decreased by an opening force generated by refrigerant at an external suction pressure acting over a first area, and increased by refrigerant at a crankcase pressure acting over a second area. The second area is smaller than the first area so that at high refrigerant flow rates, the effect of crankcase pressure is reduced so that the restriction is reduced and the compressor operates at greater efficiency. The piston position is also influenced by refrigerant at a pressure intermediate the external suction pressure and the internal suction pressure acting over a third area.08-20-2009
20100242510Air Conditioner System Having an Externally Controlled Variable Displacement Compressor and a Clutch and Method of Operating the Same - A vehicle air conditioner system having, and method of operating, an externally controlled variable displacement compressor and a compressor clutch. If the system is operating during conditions when the operating displacement is low, the efficiency of the system is increased by duty cycling the clutch. Operating an externally controlled variable displacement compressor in this manner can also prevent overcooling by the air conditioner.09-30-2010
