Inventor: CASTOLDI ANDREA
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting energy and point of
incidence of an ionizing event comprising a
semiconductor layer (1, 2) with a first type of
conductivity, in which at least one first doped region
(AN1-AN4; AR; 52) with the first type of conductivity
and a corresponding plurality of second doped regions
(P1-Pn; S1-S7; 50, 50') with a second type of
conductivity associated to said at least one first
doped region are formed on a first surface of said
layer, said at least first doped region and said
corresponding plurality of second doped regions
defining a respective drift path for charge carriers
with the first type of conductivity, and at least one
third doped region (3) with the second type of
conductivity is formed on a second surface of said
layer, and means (6; R, M1-M8; 6') for biasing said
second doped regions and said third doped region which
is capable of reversely biasing the junctions between
the second doped regions and the semiconductor layer
and between the third doped region and the
semiconductor layer so as to deplete the semiconductor
layer. Said biasing means is capable of providing two
different operating conditions of the detection
apparatus, the first operating condition providing the 
formation of a plurality of potential energy wells for
said charge carriers in the semiconductor layer (1, 2)
at predetermined distances along said drift path from
said first doped region (AN1-AN4; AR; 52), said wells
being able to confine all of the charge carriers
generated by an ionizing event essentially to the
points of incidence of the ionizing event, the second
operating condition providing the removal of said
potential energy wells so as to cause the charge
carriers to drift towards said at least one first
doped region along said drift path and keeping the
charge carriers confined to directions which are
perpendicular to the drift path. The electric fields
in the apparatus are different, although static in the
two different operating conditions.

Abstract: Un amortisseur sensible à l'accélération comprend un corps tubulaire et un ensemble piston, disposé dans ledit corps, qui divise celui-ci en une chambre supérieure et une chambre inférieure. Le piston est relié à la roue d'un véhicule et le corps au châssis dudit véhicule. Un fluide peut passer entre les chambres supérieure et inférieure avec un débit réduit durant l'extension ou la compression de l'amortisseur. Un premier orifice fait passer le fluide de la chambre inférieure à la chambre supérieure quand la roue se déplace vers le bas. Une masse inertielle mobile, disposée dans l'ensemble piston, ouvre le premier orifice quand la roue se déplace vers le bas, de façon à accroître le passage du fluide entre les chambres. Une cavité placée sous la masse inertielle applique une pression suffisante à cette dernière, de façon à la maintenir dans une position orifice ouvert durant le passage du fluide une fois que le déplacement vers le bas a diminué. Un déflecteur de fluide applique une pression fluidique suffisante sur la masse inertielle pour la maintenir dans une position orifice fermé quand le déplacement vers le bas de la roue a diminué ou cessé. Un système de limitation de la pression, comprenant un orifice partant de la cavité et une soupape de décharge, permet de limiter la pression fluidique dans ladite cavité, ce qui minimise le bruit mécanique quand la masse inertielle passe en position orifice ouvert.

Abstract: A rate control system suitable for use with a
digital video transcoder, such as one conforming to the
MPEG standard. The proposed rate control system starts
coding with any reasonable set of assumed Group of
Pictures (GOP) parameters, thereby avoiding a
processing delay of about one GOP which would otherwise
be incurred to extract the complete GOP structure
information from a pre-compressed bit stream. In
addition, the system avoids the need to store the data
corresponding to the GOP, thereby reducing the memory
required for transcoding. Encoding of a first picture
in a sequence or GOP begins without  a priori  knowledge
of the picture type of subsequent pictures. A
reasonable set of GOP parameters is assumed to
determine an encoding bit budget. The bit budget is
gradually corrected as successive pictures are coded
according to their picture types. Changes in the GOP
structure of pre-compressed bitstreams can be
addressed, for example, when switching channels,
inserting commercials, and the like. Target rates with
incorrect starting GOP parameters will converge within
a few GOPs.

DAB signal at the position in time that is indicated by a peak detection output of the
peak detection circuit, an FFT circuit for subjecting the DAB signal to FFT, and a
detection circuit for determining a reception center frequency based on an FFT
output of the FFT circuit. The error in the reception frequency is corrected by

carrier shifting based on a detection output of the detection circuit. As a result, the
time necessary for tuning can be shortened.

Abstract: A method for restarting a motor of a submersible pump after a power interruption is
disclosed. The system first detects when the power is turned back on to the system. A control
means then samples signals sent back from the unpowered motor and determines the frequency

waveform is then applied to the motor matching the determined speed and direction of the motor.
Finally, the output frequency of the waveform can be adjusted to adjust the speed and direction of
operation of the motor until the motor reaches a desired speed and direction of operation.
