Inventor: NIELSEN GERT LYNGE
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a frequency conversion circuit having a pair of local oscillators. The local oscillators are frequency synthesizers based on an external frequency reference. The frequency conversion circuit is configured to perform a frequency conversion to an input signal equal to a frequency difference of signals from the pair of local oscillators; to generate an oscillator frequency difference signal; to generate an error signal using the oscillator frequency difference signal and an internal reference signal derived from the external frequency reference; and to adjust a phase of one of the pair of oscillators using the error signal. The above-described frequency conversion circuit embodiment essentially eliminates divider phase noise such as that generated by traditional prescalers. In addition, the use of two local oscillators provides a frequency conversion circuit capable of wide-range frequency conversion and high resolution. This frequency conversion circuit embodiment is suitable for receivers as well as transmitters, and is particularly suitable for digital television systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is an electron beam apparatus and method which
can retain the state that minimizes the amount of water content
contained at a gap between a high-voltage cable and a high-voltage
introduction insulator to thereby prevent creation of
high-voltage discharge and current leakage. The apparatus
comprises a means for applying a high voltage to an acceleration
electrode while eliminating electron release from an electron
source and for detecting a change in an emission current
corresponding to a change in an acceleration voltage at this
time. In addition, the apparatus comprises a means for issuing
a cautionary notice or warning when the change of this emission
current exceeds a prespecified value. Further, the apparatus
comprises a means for letting a dry gas flow in a gap portion
between the electron gun's high-voltage cable and the
high-voltage introduction insulator to thereby dehumidify said
gap portion. With such an arrangement, it is possible to prevent
high-voltage discharge due to an increase in water content of
the gap portion and also instability of an electron beam due
to a leakage current.

Abstract: A computer input device having a housing and a finger-engagable scrolling device. A portion of the scrolling device is endlessly rotatable about a first axis to preferably cause vertical scrolling of an image on a display. The scrolling device is pivotally movable relative to the housing about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The first axis and the second axis may lie in a common plane or otherwise be close to one another to provide a large range of possible angular motion. A sensor is preferably positioned within the finger-engagable scrolling device for rotational movement of the rotational portion of the finger-engagable scrolling device. A pivot sensor may be provided on the second axis or laterally disposed from the scrolling device. A cover with an aperture may be provided over the scrolling device to help prevent dust and other contaminates from entering the housing through the opening for the scrolling device. The scrolling device may be contoured in a number of alternative ways to provide enhanced control and/or visual or tactile cues. In response to sensed pivotal movement of the scrolling device, the image is horizontally scrolled, preferably in the direction of the lateral movement. The scrolling speed can be affected relative to the amount of displacement of the scrolling device and/or the amount of time that the scrolling device is displaced by a predetermined amount. The computer input device having the rotatable member may take the form of a keyboard, a mouse, a trackball device, or another type of computer input device.

electrodes is increased to a first voltage, which corresponds to a voltage
applied to the scan electrodes and to a voltage applied to both sides of panel
capacitors. Further, in a reset interval of a second sub-field, which exhibits a
higher gray than the first sub-field, a voltage having an increasing ramp
waveform is applied to the scan electrodes during a second interval, and
floating the common electrodes during a portion of the second interval such that
the voltage of the common electrodes is increased to a second voltage, which
is less than the first voltage.
