Abstract: In a radiation detector for detecting a high dose radiation, a radiation detecting element is heated or infrared rays are emitted into the radiation detecting element. Carriers trapped by defects or the like in the radiation detecting element are thereby excited to compensate for output reductions occurring at a time of high dose incidence. Where infrared rays are used, the energy of the infrared rays is set smaller than a band gap energy of a compound semiconductor forming the radiation detecting element and greater than a trap level present in the compound semiconductor.

Abstract: An artificial neural network is provided using a digital architecture having feedforward (40) and feedback (52) processors interconnected with a digital computation ring (30) or data bus to handle complex neural feedback arrangements. The feedforward processor receives a sequence of digital input signals and multiplies each by a weight in a predetermined manner and stores the results in an accumulator (48). The accumulated values may be shifted around the computation ring and read from a tap point thereof, or reprocessed through the feedback processor with predetermined scaling factors and combined with the feedforward outcomes for providing various types neural network feedback computations. Alternately, the feedforward outcomes may be placed sequentially on a data bus for feedback processing through the network. The digital architecture includes a predetermined number of data input terminals (12) for the digital input signal irrespective of the number of synapses per neuron and the number of neurons per neural network, and allows the synapses to share a common multiplier (44) and thereby reduce the physical area of the neural network. A learning circuit (80) may be utilized in the feedforward processor for real-time updating the weights thereof to reflect changes in the environment.

Title: Dual path amplitude modulated RF amplifier
Inventor: STREETER ROBERT DAVENPORT
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 1991-03-12
Abstract: An amplitude modulated RF amplifier (13) using dual path modulation to increase operating efficiency. Both the RF drive (25) to the amplifier and the DC power supply voltage (22) to the amplifier are amplitude modulated. Preferably, the power supply modulation is accomplished with a high efficiency pulse width modulator (18) circuit. To prevent phase shift distortion, the modulated DC output from the power supply is used both to power (22) the RF amplifier and to amplitude modulate (23) the RF drive to the amplifier. For maximum efficiency, the modulators are both non-linear. Maximum efficiency is realized with primarily supply modulation and some drive modulation providing the positive envelope modulation and primarily a non-linear RF drive modulation providing the negative envelope modulation. The use of primarily RF drive modulation for the deep negative modulation will reduce the amount of incidental phase modulation experienced, while having a nearly inconsequential effect on total efficiency of the RF amplifier.

Abstract: When fewer than three of the satellites of a satellite global positioning system (GPS) such as NAVSTAR are visible to a user (15), the user cannot obtain independent positional information from the system. Since a satellite (11) in such a system is moving with respect to a user (15), its signals are received with a Doppler offset from their nominal centre frequency and the frequency offset due to the satellite motion alone is calculable for a user at an approximate location from a given satellite. An additional Doppler frequency offset will result from any movement of the user. The magnitude of the additional frequency shift, in conjunction with the known speed (m) of the user, can be used to calculate the angle between the satellite motion (V₁) and the user's motion and since the direction of the former is known, the user's heading from local North (N) can be calculated in instances where only one or two GPS satellites (11,12) are visible to a user.

Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated semiconductor circuit which comprises a number of functional blocks which can be tested individually, and which contains a selection arrangement with which the individual functional blocks are selected for the test. Due to the move towards increasingly higher integration densities in integrated circuits, it is becoming increasingly difficult to test functional capacity. For this reason, subsequent testability must be borne in mind even during the development of an integrated circuit. A read-only memory area (ROM area) is therefore provided in an integrated semiconductor circuit in which a bit pattern is in each case stored under an address which serves to activate a selection circuit or directly to select the functional block to be tested. A counter is furthermore provided whose counter reading can be incremented by an external counting signal and whose counter reading indicates an address for the read-only memory area which contains a bit pattern for the selection of a functional block. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A control system for the engine (1) and the automatic transmission (10) of the automotive vehicle is arranged such that the torque of the engine (1) is reduced by delaying the timing of ignition at the time of a shift of the automatic transmission (10) with a multi-stage shift mechanism (12). The amount of the absorbed inertia at the time of the shift is computed as an amount corresponding to changes of the numbers of revolutions on the input side of the multi-stage shift mechanism (12) prior to and subsequent to the shift thereof. The timing of ignition is so adapted as to be delayed in accordance with the amount of the resulting amount of the absorbed inertia. Preferably, the control amount for the torque to be reduced is computed in accordance with the torque of the engine (1) at the time of the shift, and a control amount for the final torque to be reduced is given on the basis of the control amount for the torque to be reduced and the amount of the absorbed inertia, thereby delaying the timing of ignition in accordance with the control amount for the final torque to be reduced.
