Patent EP-0632460-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MCCLURE DAVID CHARLES
IPC: G11C7/06
Filed: 1994-06-27
Abstract: A method and circuit for significantly reducing a delay added to a clock signal which clocks an output of a first circuit into an input of a second circuit in a semiconductor device. An output of a first circuit is connected to a data line. The first circuit is designed with elements having a selected set of design parameters, such as transistor dimensions and transistor orientation. A second circuit is connected to the data line and also receives a clock signal generated by a signal delay circuit. The signal delay circuit receives an output enable signal, and after a delay period, produces the clock signal in response to the output enable signal. At least a portion of the signal delay circuit utilizes elements having the selected set of design parameters utilized in the first circuit. Thus, as process variations affect the electrical properties and the speed of the transistors in the first circuit, the same process variations will proportionately affect the electrical properties and speed of transistors in the delay circuit. This automatically compensates for process-induced speed variations and eliminates the need for a time margin when providing a clock signal for clocking an output of a first circuit into the input of a second circuit.

Abstract: The presence of trace materials in a sample (30) is detected using both macroscopic and microscopic properties. A detector includes a light source (25) and an optical resonator. The light source may be located either inside the resonance cavity of the resonator or outside the cavity, in which case it may be a semi-conductor such as a semi-conductor laser or a superluminescent diode. The detector also includes at least one reflective member (24) that has a total internal reflection (TIR) surface (26) and may be a passive device or an active gain element. Light from the light source is preferably focussed onto a single point of reflection on the TIR surface. The test sample is positioned within the evanescent field region of the TIR surface. Optical changes arising within the evanescent field region, such as excitation of fluorescence in the sample, changes in its refractive index, and changes in the resonant frequency of the optical resonator, are then detected. These changes are then sensed to determine the amount or at least presence of analyte located at the TIR surface.

Abstract: A teletext/data transmission decoder (121) decodes information on characters and graphics and produces a supplementary program video signal. A proper program video signal arriving by way of a video processing circuit (112) and a display image processing section (113) and the supplementary program video signal coming from the decoder (121) are synthetically combined by a synthesizing section (114) and fed to a display unit (115). A system controller (131) sets the decoder (121) in waiting state. If the proper program video signal contains data information, the system controller (131) automatically starts a decoding operation and controls the synthesizing section (114) to display the restored signal on the display unit (115). When an automatic display select switch (133) is set to an automatic display mode, a supplementary program processing mode is automatically selected when a supplementary program is started.

Abstract: A bottle cap and injection molding process therefor. In the cap, the top cover (50) has an inside plug (53) which fits tightly into an opening (33) in the cap body (31). The cover also has a snap groove (55) which tightly engages with a snap hook (43) on the cap body thus preventing the cap from being accidentally opened so undesirable leakage from liquid from the bottle is prevented. In the injection molding process, liquid plastic is injected into top and bottom molds (110,130) through a gate (140) extending to the cavity part (114) corresponding to the pull-ring (61) of the tear-off piece. The pull-ring thus has a high tensile strength so that the ring cannot be accidentally separated from the tear-off piece (58) nor breaks when the ring is forcibly pulled upwardly in order to remove the tear-off piece.

Abstract: Thus, a transceiver having a transmitter section and a receiver section is provided. The transmitter section includes a modulator to superimpose information, i.e., data, onto the amplitude of a suitable carrier signal, such as a microwave frequency carrier signal. The receiver section receives data carried by the carrier frequency signal and, in a heterodyning system, downconverts the received signal to a suitable intermediate frequency signal. The modulator and the downconverter are formed on a single semiconductor body, or chip of silicon. The receiver section is adapted to receive over a predetermined overall bandwidth signals having carrier frequencies within a plurality of frequency channels, each one of the channels having a predetermined channel bandwidth; and, a sampler for sampling such received signals at a sampling frequency less twice the predetermined overall bandwidth. The sampling frequency is selected to convert the carrier frequency of a signal within a selected one of the frequency channels to a frequency within a predetermined intermediate frequency and to convert the carrier frequencies of signals of the un-selected one of the frequency channels to frequencies other than the predetermined intermediate frequency. The downconverted signals are converted into corresponding digital signals. A demodulator includes a Hilbert-Transform-pair filter section. The receiver includes: a first automatic gain control circuit (AGC) and is responsive to an output of the digital signal processor, for adjusting the gain of the AGC circuit in accordance with the output of the digital signal processor; and, a second AGC circuit fed by the digital signals and the output of the digital signal processor, for adjusting the gain of the magnitude of the digital signals in accordance with the output of the digital signal processor.
