the distributor inlet conduit (15) a distance equal to the space between the bottom plate outlet conduit (18)
and bottom plate inlet conduit (15) so that rotation of the distributor (5) to a predetermined position
places the distributor outlet conduit (22) in alignment with the bottom plate outlet conduit (18) to permit
fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet and rotation of the distributor to another position
disconnects the distributor outlet conduit (22) from the bottom outlet conduit (18) plate to prevent flow of
the fluid . A pair of o-ring seal (30,31) are located in the bottom plate on each side of the bottom plate outlet conduit (18). An

Abstract: A relatively small FIFO queue is located on a semiconductor
chip receiving and transmitting data in a computer system,
typically a computer network. The FIFO queue has
additional storage capability in the form of an expansion
into the local memory of the computer system. The front
and back ends of the FIFO, which are involved in receiving
and transmitting data, are implemented on the chip. The
FIFO expands into the space provided in the local memory
only when the on-chip portion of the FIFO is full. The
middle portion of the FIFO resides in expansion in the
local memory. The local memory is accessed only in bursts
of multiple credits, both for read transactions and for
write transactions.

IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: This invention applies to a mobile station that is able to determine a required data rate
based on data buffer usage. If the data buffer indicates a requirement for a high data
rate transmission, the mobile station sends a request to a base station to be assigned
multiple parallel code channels. If the multiple parallel code channels are granted, the
mobile station uses the channels for transmitting data to the base station until either the
data buffer becomes empty, or a base station time-out occurs, or the mobile station is
signalled by the base station to reduce its data transmission rate, whichever occurs first.
The mobile station of this invention is enabled to autonomously control the data rate
during an assigned period for high speed transmission, so as to lower the data rate
when needed for the purpose of improving coverage and/or to avoid operating in a
power limited condition, thereby degrading link quality. The data rate is lowered by
disabling transmission though at least one parallel code channel, and subsequently
resuming transmission though the code channel when conditions warrant. This provides
a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode of operation for individual ones of
supplemental parallel data code channels.

Abstract: A micromachined xyz stage, and microscopes utilizing such a stage, are
disclosed. The xyz stage includes co-planar x- and y-drive means linked to a sample
stage. Such x- and y- drive means are operable to position the sample stage in an x-y
plane. The xyz stage further includes z-drive means operable to moves the sample
stage out of the x-y plane. The z-drive means can be implemented by suspending a flat-plate
electrode over the sample stage using hinged plate supports. As a voltage is
applied across the plate electrode and the sample stage, an electrostatic force is
generated, causing the sample stage to move towards the plate electrode. The hinged
plate supports facilitate assembly of the z-drive means, in addition to providing support
for it in its assembled configuration. By incorporating an optical fiber, the aperture of
which has be drawn down to submicron size, a near-field scanning optical microscope
can be formed. By forming a micromachined tip on the xyz stage, a scanning tunneling
microscope or an atomic force microscope can be formed.

Abstract: Air is separated in a double rectification column 12 comprising a higher pressure
rectification column 14, a lower pressure rectification column 16, and a first
condenser-reboiler 18. A second condenser-reboiler 20 is operated so as to reboil a

heated by nitrogen-rich vapour pre-separated in a further rectification column
operating at an even higher pressure than the column 14.) A second stream of
compressed air to be separated is partially or totally condensed in a heat exchanger
26 by indirect heat exchange with a stream of nitrogen condensed in the first
condenser-reboiler 18.

Inventor: ZUERBIG JUERGEN DR
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: Temperature and volumetric flow rate sensors (5, 4) are directly connected to the reduction control unit (1). These and the NOx sensor (6) are used to determine the quantity of reductant to be injected. There is no recourse to data stored in the engine management system. Dosing of reductant is controlled as a function of the catalyst operational parameters and the exhaust gas composition. Preferred Features: The reductant is urea, supplied from a tank (2) by a pump (3) to the reductant injection valve (7). The reductant controller (1) is built-onto the supply tank (2). As reductant, fuel may be injected (7), the dosing system being connected to the fuel system. A volumetric flow rate sensor is located in the exhaust gas system. Alternatively, a pressure sensor ahead of the reduction catalyst (11, 12) measures exhaust gas pressure, the value being a measure of volumetric flow rate. Differential pressure is alternatively measured across the reduction catalyst, for the same purpose. The reductant controller is directly connected to another exhaust sensor, sensitive to a further component, e.g. NH3 or HC. The NOx sensor (6) has operational temperature-dependent sensitivity to NH3 and/or HC. The controller is also connected to an engine tachometer, used in conjunction with the monitored volumetric flow rate. The tachometer is inductive, relaying information wirelessly to the controller. Its pickup is inductive, self-powered by induction, and floats with respect to vehicle earth. The sensor sensitive to NH3 is located in the reduction catalyst unit. The controller doses sufficient urea to achieve predetermined maximum NH3 and/or predetermined minimal NOx, as indicated by the NOx sensor. The reduction catalyst comprises two or more units in series, the NOx sensor being upstream of the last. The predetermined NH3 or NOx content is a function of the conversion capacity of the catalyst unit following the sensor. Using urea as reductant, the reductant injection valve introduces it into a hydrolysis catalyst, ahead of the reduction catalyst. The urea is injected into the exhaust gas system upstream of the reduction catalyst, hydrolysis being effected in the hot exhaust pipe. The equipment need only be matched to the maximum exhaust throughput and back pressure on the engine, hence obviating measurement on a test stand. The system comes as a self-contained unit for retrofitting or for engines originally developed without NOx-reducing exhaust treatment. The equipment is designed for installation in place of a pre-silencer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a crystalline
silicon semiconductor layer comprises the steps of heat crystallizing an
amorphous silicon semiconductor layer at a relatively low temperature because
of the use of a crystallization promoting material such as Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, AG, Au,
In, Sn, Pb, P, As, and Sb. The crystallization promoting material is introduced
by mixing it within a liquid precursor material for forming silicon oxide and
coating the precursor material onto the amorphous silicon film. Thus, it is
possible to add the crystallization promoting material into the amorphous silicon
film at a minimum density. 
     The insulating layer (215) is polyimide. The active layer surface is
in the (111) plane.
