Patent AU-2425488-A (AU)
Title: Bulk avalanche semiconductor switch using field compression
Inventor: RAGLE LARRY O
IPC: H03K3/53
Filed: 1988-09-06
Abstract: A switch using an improved method of optically-triggered avalanche breakdown which can produce pulses of 100 picoseconds duration that can deliver five kilovolts into 50 ohms using a standard laser diode. A semiconductor block is provided with contacts on opposing sides across which a high-voltage less than the avalanche breakdown voltage is applied. The semiconductor block is then irradiated with electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of the radiation and the absorption co-efficient of the semiconductor block are chosen so that the absorption depth of the majority of the radiation is less than the distance between the contacts. This results in a photoconduction area where absorption occurs, thus applying most of the high voltage across the distance beyond the photoconduction area. This provides field compression and generates an avalanche breakdown field across the remaining distance of the semiconductor block. Fast switching of large currents is obtained through the dual use of photoconduction as a trigger and subsequent avalanche conduction.

Inventor: GROOTERS RONALD K
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: An improved aortic cannula is provided for use in heart by-pass surgery. The cannula includes an elongated tube with a terminal end.

Title: Regenerating the significant instants of a periodic signal
Inventor: BAUDUIN JEAN-PIERRE ANDRE
IPC: H03K5/153
Filed: 1984-12-12
Abstract: A process for regenerating a periodic signal creates two signals. The first signal provides for the detection of a periodic signal for a short time preceding the theoretical timing position of the periodic signal. The second signal is transmitted a very short time after the theoretical timing position of the periodic signal and serves as a substitute periodic signal, when the periodic signal has not been detected prior to a transmission of the second signal. The circuit, used to receive broadcasted digital data, is comprised of a counter (L), a D flip-flop (B1) and a clock (CLX) having a frequency which is equal to a multiple of the data bit rate which is to be received. The counter (L) has an initializing input connected to the Q output of the flip-flop (B1). It has two outputs (X, Y) corresponding to the transmissions of the first and second signals. The first output (X) is connected to the "1" setting input while the second output is connected to the "0" resetting input of flip-flop (B1), having a D input which is connected to a "0" level voltage. The clock input receives the periodic signal.
