Abstract: A gearshift control system comprises an electrical control unit (1) which operates hydraulic valves (14) controlling a hydraulic gearshift actuator. The vehicle in which the system operates has a dashboard control (5) to preselect a gear change, which is actuated by depressing the clutch pedal (3) operating a switch (2), both the switch (2) and control (5) being connected to the unit (1). The system includes means for updating the electronic stored values representative of the position of the gearshift actuator. The system also includes means for aborting a gearshift if, after given time periods, either the shift has not been completed, or the clutch pedal is released. In any event the gearshift will be aborted if the clutch is released during a change. The system will not initiate a gearshift unless the clutch pedal is held down for a given period of time.

Abstract: In a defined state and in the undisturbed state the circuit point floats freely between two poles (OV,UB) of an operating voltage. It is monitored for a disturbed state in the form of a leakage resistance wrt. at least one of the poles. A test arrangement contg. a current source feeds a defined test current to a circuit point. An evaluation device has at least one comparator with an input coupled to the circuit point; it produces a first output signal when a current flows in the leakage resistance. The current source contains a first source (S1,T11) of a test current to the circuit point (P1) in a first direction to the first pole (OV), which corresp. to a first tolerance value of the leakage resistance and which only flows when the voltage between the circuit point and first pole is less than a defined first threshold. The comparator (K1) compares the voltage at the circuit point with a defined first reference voltage (Ur1) smaller than the first threshold; it produces the first output signal when the voltage between the circuit point one pole is less than the first reference voltage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a ferroelectric memory, when data is read out from a memory cell, a variation absorbing circuit minimizes a variation of the voltage on the pair of data signal lines caused by factor other than the current caused due to the polarization of the ferroelectric capacitor. Thus, a voltage not smaller than the coercive voltage can be applied between the opposing electrodes of the ferroelectric capacitor, with the result that a sufficient read-out signal voltage can be obtained.

Abstract: An infrared light source used in spectrometers including an infrared range, a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR), etc. The infrared light source is composed of a panel made of sintered silicon nitride plates, a heating element made of metal and embedded in the panel, and a pair of conducting lines for supplying electricity to the heating element. The infrared light is emitted homogeneously from the flat surface of the panel, as compared to a conventional infrared light source using a metal filament in which infrared light is emitted inhomogeneously. It is preferred to form a silicon oxide layer on a surface of the panel to prevent initial change in the infrared emitting characteristic.

Abstract: An integrated circuit having a normal operating mode and a special operating mode, such as a special test mode, is disclosed. The special test mode is enabled by a series of signals, such as overvoltage excursions at a terminal, rather than by a single such excursion, so that it is less likely that the special test mode is entered inadvertently, such as due to noise or power-down and power-up of the device. The circuit for enabling the test mode includes a series of D-type flip-flops, each of which are clocked upon detection of the overvoltage condition together with a particular logic level applied at another terminal; multiple series of flip-flops may be provided for multiple special test modes. Additional features include the provision of a power-on reset circuit which locks out the entry into the test mode during power-up of the device. Acknowledgment of the entry into test mode is provided by the presentation of a low impedance at output terminals while the device is not enabled; chip enable of the device causes the device to exit the test mode. Once in test mode, the output enable terminal of the device can provide a chip enable function.

Abstract: In accordance with the principles of the invention, a surveillance radar is provided with a rotating, frequency squinting, end-fed slotted array antenna, which is caused to transmit a plurality of different carrier frequency pulses for successively illuminating specific antenna beam positions during rotation of the antenna. Upon reception of each radar signal return, a signal processor responsive to the frequency of each transmitted pulse and the mechanical pointing angle of the antenna at the time of transmission of each pulse, will determine the frequency dependent squint angle for the transmitted pulse and combine that angle with the instantaneous mechanical pointing angle of the antenna at the time of the pulse transmission, to determine the actual beam pointing angle for each pulse at the time of its transmission. A video signal processor groups together the pulse signal returns from physically adjacent ones of the actual beam pointing angles for common processing, i.e, integration, for improving the target detection performance of the radar system.

This information is decrypted at the receiver (21) by a decryption circuit (22) also having a "Y" key size. At the receiver, return information is encrypted by an encryption key (30) having "X" bits, where X = Y-Z, with Z being a variable. The low grade information encrypted at the receiver (21) is supplied back to the transmitter (10), which incorporates a decryption circuit (32) having an "X" key size for decrypting the lower grade information.

Abstract: This invention is for a method for varying the melting points and molecular weights of syndiotactic polyolefins by using metallocene catalysts with substituents on the aryl rings of a fluorene ligand in certain positions. Electron donating substituents, for example, dialkylamino, halogen, and alkoxy groups, when present on fluorene at C1, C2, C3 or C2 and C7 render the catalyst less active and decrease the polymer molecular weight. Electron donating substituents, such as alkyl, dialkylamino, halogen or alkoxy, at C4 not only increased the catalyst efficiency but also dramatically increased the polymer molecular weight. Bulky hydrocarbyl substituents, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl groups, at C2 and C7 increase the melting point. Bulky substituents such as hydrocarbyl groups like alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkoxy and dialkylamino groups etc., at C4/C5 decrease the melting point. When multiple substituents are present on fluorene, their effects are additive.
