Title: Anti-creep control apparatus of automatic transmission
Inventor: SAKAI HIROMASA
IPC: F16H61/06
Filed: 1997-07-22
Abstract: Anti-creep apparatus controls, via valve 13, hydraulic pressure Pc to forward clutch 12 and maintains the pressure Pc at a present level or increases it by a predetermined amount (see * capital Greek delta *P, fig 2) when a relative rotation of the clutch 12 is detected. Control unit 15 decides when a relative rotation of the clutch 12 is generated by comparing turbine rotational speed Nt, detected by sensor 166, with a predetermined value (Ntset, fig 2). If the rotational speed Nt is greater than the predetermined value, ie relative rotation has taken place, and a flag is 1 (F=1, fig 2), then the pressure Pc is incremented by the predetermined amount (* capital Greek delta *P, fig 2) and this incremented pressure is set as a lower limit value(Plim=Pc, fig 2). In the next control cycle, if the flag is greater than 1, the control unit 15 decides if a rotational speed difference (Ns, fig 2) between an engine and the turbine, ie Ne-Nt), is smaller than another predetermined value (Nfbset, fig 2) or not. If it is not then the lower limit value (Plim, fig 2) is set as the present pressure Pc (Pc=Plim, fig 2). On the other hand, if rotational speed difference is greater the control 15 executes a feedback control so as to correspond the rotation speed difference (Ns, fig 2) with that of a target rotational speed difference (Nstgt, fig 2). The control unit then determines command hydraulic pressure Pc by means of an equation.

Title: Charged particle beam apparatus
Inventor: SANFORD COLIN S
IPC: H01J37/28
Filed: 1997-11-21
Abstract: A charged particle beam apparatus such as a scanning electron microscope has a carrier 24 for supporting a sample 22. A tilt mechanism is provided for tilting the wafer carrier 24 through a range of attitudes including an attitude 248 wherein a normal 252 to the carrier defines a predetermined first angle D on one side of vertical 246. A charged particle beam column 14 irradiates a sample on the carrier with a beam of charged particles. The column is canted at a second angle C on the opposite side of vertical from the carrier normal 252 such that the angle of beam incidence on the sample relative to the carrier normal is equal to the sum of the first and second angles. The carrier may be tilted an attitude 250 at the other end of the range of attitudes which is such that the carrier normal is parallel to the column axis 16 and the beam is thus normal to the sample. The first and second angles preferably equal thirty degrees, and the maximum angle of beam incidence on the sample thus equals sixty degrees. Using such as arrangement, the size of the vacuum chamber 74 in which the sample is positioned can be reduced. The apparatus also has a laser autofocus system (not shown) for control of the position of the wafer carrier 24 in the Z-direction.

Title: High frequency connector with noise cancelling characteristics
Inventor: TREMBLAY EDMOND
IPC: H01R13/6467
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: A high frequency electrical connector having a dielectric block 306 onto which a terminal array of four pairs of electrical conductors are connected, the resulting assembly residing in a jack frame housing configured to removably receive a mating plug. The connector has a planar spring contact region 402 for electrically contacting a corresponding planar contact region of the mating plug, a curved forefront region 404 whereat non-electrical contact cross-overs of the terminal array conductors occurs, and a planar back region 406 where reverse crosstalk is generated. The connector substantially compensates for crosstalk generated at the mating plug and connector contact regions. The configuration of the planar contact region of the mating plug and planar spring contact region of the connector is dictated by industry standards. To generate a sufficient reverse interference to cancel the crosstalk generated in these dimension-regulated parts, an "equivalent distance" of the planar back region sufficient to generate a reverse crosstalk that substantially eliminates the crosstalk generated in the contact regions of the mating plug and connector is provided. This equivalent distance is typically greater than the length of the planar spring contact region since the parallel mating plug conductors and their proximity to the spring contact region contribute to the crosstalk generated by the substantially parallel conductors of the terminal array in the spring contact region. To provide this equivalent distance, the non-contact cross-overs of the conductors are located immediately adjacent to the source of crosstalk without interfering with the industry standard dimensions.
