Abstract: The invention provides an improved turbine engine ignition exciter circuit. Energy stored in an exciter tank capacitor is subsequently switched to the load (igniter plug) through a novel thyristor switching device specifically designed for pulse power applications. The switching device is designed and constructed to include, for example, a highly interdigitated cathode/gate structure. The semiconductor switching device is periodically activated by a trigger circuit which may be comprised of either electromagnetic or optoelectronic triggering circuitry to initiate discharge of energy stored in exciter tank capacitor to mating ignition lead and igniter plug. Likewise, the present invention allows new flexibility in the output PFN (Pulse Forming Network) stage, eliminating need for specialized protective output devices such as saturable output inductors. Due to considerably higher di/dt performance of the device, true high voltage output pulse networks may be utilized without damage to the semiconductor switching device. An exemplary embodiment of invention contains a novel feedback network which causes thyristor timing (trigger) and DC-DC converter circuits to compensate for varying igniter plug wear and dynamic engine combustor conditions, tailoring exciter spark rate, output voltage and energy to account for dynamic load conditions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un commutateur à fibres optiques comprenant au moins deux conducteurs optiques, disposés dans un plan, et un élément de commutation (7) optique mobile réalisé à partir d'une tranche sandwich (39). Une première opération consiste à masquer la couche de recouvrement (43) de telle manière qu'au terme de cette opération, des zones partielles (45) notamment de l'élément de commutation (7) possèdent une faible largeur, ces zones partielles étant libres transversalement et de préférence mobiles, et des sections de commutation (47) fixées sur un substrat (25) possèdent une seconde largeur supérieure à la première largeur. Une seconde opération consiste à attaquer les zones dégagées de la couche de recouvrement (43) masquée par un procédé d'attaque à sec, à savoir un procédé d'attaque ionique profonde réactive anisotrope (deep anisotropic reactive ion etching) pour obtenir des parois sensiblement verticales jusqu'à une couche intermédiaire (41) amorphe. Une troisième opération consiste à utiliser un produit d'attaque qui n'attaque que la couche intermédiaire (41) et à choisir la durée du temps d'attaque de telle manière que la couche intermédiaire (41) ne soit dégagée que sous les zones partielles (45) de première largeur mais pas sous les zones partielles (47) de seconde largeur. Les extrémités des conducteurs optiques sont placées côte à côte de telle manière que l'on puisse insérer seulement l'élément de commutation (7) mais qu'il se produise, lorsque l'élément de commutation (7) est retirée, un passage de rayonnement d'un bout du conducteur optique vers l'autre bout lui faisant face sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'avoir des éléments de formation d'image optiques supplémentaires.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'une technique de transferts de données entre un transpondeur et un lecteur, utilisée dans un système d'identification à balayage et consistant à moduler la charge d'un signal de recherche émis par le lecteur. Le transpondeur est initialisé dès le début de réception du signal de recherche et réagit en émettant un signal réponse. Dans un premier temps, un nombre prédéterminé de bits d'information n'appartenant pas au signal réponse est envoyé. Ensuite, une séquence de bouclage en série répétitive est suivi du signal réponse jusqu'à ce que le signal de recherche soit interrompu. Le nombre prédéterminé de données d'information n'appartenant pas au signal réponse permet d'aménager l'intervalle de temps dont le lecteur a besoin pour établir le champ de recherche. Dans le même temps, le lecteur est synchronisé sur le rythme du signal réponse. La séquence de bouclage qui indique le début d'un signal réponse valable reconnaîtra correctement celui-ci dès le premier transfert.

Abstract: The mobile telephone system employs a fleet of satellites and a set of gateway ground stations arranged around the globe for handling communications to and from mobile communication units such as mobile telephones. Signals are transmitted between a subscriber unit and the nearest gateway via one or more of the satellites. The gateway is connected to a set of individual service providers such as local telephone systems. The individual service providers may be constrained for various reasons such as contractual or other legal constraints to handle communications only from subscriber units located in certain geographical areas such as within only certain countries or portions of countries. For a mobile communication from a particular subscriber unit, the gateway selects a service provider capable of handling the communication. In one implementation, the selection is based upon the location of the subscriber unit and upon any preferences specified by the subscriber unit. In other implementations, the selection is based on other parameters such as the altitude, speed or velocity of the subscriber unit or the time of day or date upon which the communication is initiated.

Abstract: The method is applied to a system including a Line Interface Circuit Input (LICI) and two redundant asynchronous switching networks (ASN0,ASN1) leading to a Redundant Path Combination buffer. When message cells are received a window is established to block cells with sequence numbers lower than that of the last cell selected for further processing. The result is an exclusion of lower-numbered cells from such selection, so that repetition of cells is avoided and in the event of switching between transmission paths there is a minimal loss of cells.
