Abstract: Dans une paire différentielle (P1, P2) chargée activement avec un miroir de courant (N1, N2), un amplificateur différentiel (A) commande la borne commune (Z) du miroir de courant afin de forcer une différence de tension nulle entre la borne d'entrée (X) et la borne de sortie (Y) du miroir de courant. La tension à la borne d'entrée (X) est auto-élevée activement, via l'amplificateur différentiel (A), par la tension de la borne de sortie (Y) avec une haute précision. Ainsi, on obtient un gain élevé de tension. Un condensateur (CP) entre la borne d'entrée (X) et la borne de commande (Z) compense la boucle locale formée par l'amplificateur différentiel (A) et le transistor d'entrée (N1) du miroir de courant, et forme un court-circuit à des fréquences élevées, réduisant ainsi la charge active de la paire différentielle sur un miroir de courant classique. Pour des hautes fréquences, le circuit présente les mêmes propriétés de gain et de phase que l'approche non auto-élevée classique et on peut appliquer des techniques de compensation classiques à tout l'amplificateur.

Abstract: According to a power control system for a CDMA mobile radio
communication network, powers at which downlink pilot signals are
transmitted from base stations are controlled so that the numbers of
mobile stations managed by the respective base stations will be in a
predetermined range. In addition, powers at which uplink signals
are transmitted from the mobile stations are controlled so that
communication qualities related to the uplink signals received by
the base stations will converge on a predetermined threshold value.
On the basis of the above-mentioned principle, the designing of
cells in the CDMA mobile radio communication network is
implemented.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the end of life of a print cartridge (5) for a
thermal ink jet printer (10) determines the status of the print cartridge and warns
the user if the print cartridge is at or near the end of its useful life. In a first mode
of operation, an initial temperature of a printhead (12) contained in the print
cartridge is checked after a threshold amount of ink is expelled from the
printhead, such as for a high density print swath or during a service routine. This
initial temperature is then compared with a maximum initial temperature. If the
initial temperature exceeds the maximum initial temperature, a warning about the
status of the print cartridge is sent to a user. If the initial temperature does not
exceed the maximum initial temperature, the user is informed of the remaining
life portion of the print cartridge. In a second mode of operation, a final
temperature is checked after a period of time elapses since the threshold amount
of ink is expelled from the printhead. This final temperature is then compared to
a maximum final temperature. If the final temperature exceeds the maximum
final temperature, a warning about the status of the print cartridge is sent to a
user. If the final temperature is less than the maximum final temperature, the
user is informed of the remaining life portion of the print cartridge. In a third
mode of operation, the heat transfer efficiency of the print cartridge is calculated.
If the heat transfer efficiency of the print cartridge is below a minimum heat
transfer efficiency, a warning about the status of the print cartridge is sent to a
user. If the heat transfer efficiency exceeds a minimum heat transfer efficiency,
the user is informed of the remaining life portion of the print cartridge.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de créer, dans un réseau de télécommunications, un réseau de synchronisation comprenant plusieurs noeuds (D...M) interconnectés par des liaisons et d'envoyer des messages d'état de synchronisation indiquant le niveau de qualité de synchronisation du signal correspondant. Au moins une horloge maîtresse (PRC) est utilisée comme source de synchronisation pour les noeuds du réseau. Le réseau de synchronisation est établi par sélection, en conformité avec une topologie définie par les liaisons, des chaînes de synchronisation qui sont formées par des successions de noeuds et par lesquelles le signal de la ou des horloges maîtresses est distribué aux noeuds de la chaîne, et par détermination, pour les différents noeuds de la chaîne, d'une liste de priorités spécifiques à chaque noeud de la chaîne et comportant des interfaces de noeuds à différents niveaux de priorité, ce qui permet de déterminer la source de synchronisation devant être sélectionnée par le noeud lorsque des signaux de même niveau de qualité sont reçus aux connections nodales. Pour que la synchronisation puisse être effectuée avec le moins d'erreurs possible dans des réseaux complexes, un réseau de synchronisation basique est tout d'abord établi à partir des meilleures chaînes de synchronisation entre deux horloges maîtresses différentes. Ensuite, les chaînes de synchronisation conduisant des autres noeuds au réseau de synchronisation en question sont intégrées audit réseau de synchronisation par sélection par ordre de supériorité selon des critères prédéterminés.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau verre de prescription (58), courbe, conçu notamment pour des applications ophtalmiques et pour être fabriqué sous forme d'une feuille plate mince et être courbé, après ou pendant la fabrication, afin de prendre la forme arquée requise et préalablement définie. Il n'existe pratiquement aucun rapport entre, d'une part, l'épaisseur du verre et sa forme arquée macroscopique et, d'autre part, ses caractéristiques optiques. Le concepteur du verre détermine les surfaces macroscopiques du verre arqué (59, 60), comme il le souhaite. Le processus de conception implique que les emplacements de l'objet (50), du verre (51) et de l'image requise (53) sont connus. En utilisant la technique du lancé de rayons, on calcule les droites microscopiques perpendiculaires au verre qui vont former l'image requise. La forme arquée est alors transformée en une forme plate. A partir des droites perpendiculaires microscopiques transformées, on calcule la surface microscopique à l'aide d'un processus d'addition continu des pentes présentant un modèle géométrique. La surface finale n'est pas lisse mais contient beaucoup de formes microscopiques denses du type en dents de scie. Cette surface rugueuse permet au verre d'avoir n'importe quelle forme et épaisseur voulue. Ce verre peut constituer une variante aux verres de prescription classiques. Il peut être fixé ou attaché à des verres de lunettes courbes, non prescrits, afin de les transformer en verres de prescription. Ce verre peut être suffisamment fin et souple pour permettre aux personnes de couper et mettre en forme leurs verres, comme ils le souhaitent, à l'aide de simples accessoires de coupe comme des ciseaux. Le verre peut être d'un poids très léger, être élastique, produit en masse à bon marché, être très grand, comporter de très fortes ou de très faibles aberrations, être revêtu, teinté, ou présenter une combinaison de ces caractéristiques, et il peut être également stratifié. L'invention concerne en outre des miroirs arqués à un seul ou à plusieurs foyers, pouvant être souples.

Abstract: A color separation and recombination system separates a beam of white light traveling along an optical axis into three differently colored light beams. The system then independently modulates each colored beam and recombines the colored beams to create a color image. The system includes a crossed pair of dichroic filters to separate the beam of white light and to recombine the modulated bundles. The system also includes a pair of aberration-compensating elements that equalize the optical thickness of glass through which each light bundle passes. This equalization of optical thickness equalizes the aberration induced into each bundle. In another embodiment the beam of white light is polarized before separation. The polarities of the colored light beams are then modulated using a spatial light modulator. An analyzer and half-wave plate are provided between the spatial light modulator and the crossed dichroic filters to pass only a portion of the modulated light. The half-wave plate ensures that the modulated light incident on the crossed dichroic filters is of the same polarity as was the polarized white light separated by the crossed dichroic filters.
