Patent EP-1097509-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RUSSAT JEAN
IPC: H03C1/60
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: An analogue phase shifter with vector modulator is envisioned. The analogue phase shifter has an input stage that provides the generation of a pseudo-basis of four vectors. The analogue phase shifter has a multiphase filter. The analogue phase shifter has an output stage that controls the amplitde of the basis vectors, and acts to recombine them. The input stase is made with a phase opposition signal generator and a multiphase filter. The input stase is made of four variable attenuators. The attenuators are for separate control of the amplitude of each of the basis vectors. The output stage also has a common output providing the summation of four quadrature channels. In one case, the output stage includes two differential amplifiers. In another case the quadrature channels are connected to the common output through buffer amplifier stages, each followed by a summation capacitor.

Abstract: A reactor (20) for plating a metal onto a surface of a workpiece (25) is set forth. The reactor (20) comprises a reactor bowl (35) including an electroplating solution disposed therein and an anode (55) disposed in the reactor bowl in contact with the electroplating solution. A contact assembly (85) is spaced from the anode (55) within the reactor bowl (35). The contact assembly includes a plurality of contacts (not shown) disposed to contact a peripheral edge of the surface of the workpiece to provide electroplating power to the workpiece. The contacts, which may be in the form of a Belleville ring or discreet flexures, execute wiping action against the workpiece surface as the workpiece is brought into contact therewith. The contact assembly also includes a barrier (not shown) disposed interior of the plurality of contacts.

Patent EP-1019209-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SEARS JAMES B
IPC: B22D11/059
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: An improved mold and process for continuous casting involves the use of a mold surface that is fabricated from a material, such as diamond, that is nonmetallic, an efficient conductor of heat and that is more degradation-resistant than the conventional materials and coatings that are used on mold surfaces. In one embodiment, the nonmetallic material is bonded to a conventional mold liner. In a second embodiment, the entire mold wall can be fabricated from the nonmetallic material. In another aspect of the invention, since materials such as diamond are transparent in the infrared range, the temperature of the outer shell of the casting can be monitored through the nonmetallic material without interfering with the casting process, and this information can be used to control one or more variables in the casting process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the supply quality in a telecommunication network. The inventive method is carried out in a digital cellular mobile radio terminal in a vehicle in order to detect the supply quality of a mobile radio network along the trajectory of the vehicle. The vehicle is provided with a position fixing system, for example via a GPS receiver or via a locating system with network-based parameters. The supply quality is detected by means of a supply chart available in the mobile telecommunication terminal. Said supply chart can be dynamically updated and depends on weather, season etc. The inventive method is for example used for transmitting ticketing data from a train that travels on a railway track.

Inventor: ZHOE SHUTONG
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: On connecte en cascade plusieurs amplificateurs pour former un circuit de pré-distorsion en ligne. Le amplificateurs sont non équilibrés en ce que chaque étage d'amplification dans le circuit possède deux pôles à tension en courant continu qui sont indépendamment commandés pour fournir des niveaux de tension en courant continu différents, c.-à-d. décalés. Ce non équilibre des amplificateurs génère une pré-distorsion d'un signal pouvant s'utiliser pour annuler la distorsion inhérente provoquée par un dispositif non linéaire qui traite ou transmet par la suite le signal de pré-distorsion. La commande du décalage de la tension en courant continu dans au moins un des étages d'amplification est nécessaire pour adapter la pré-distorsion à la distorsion inhérente corrigée. On peut utiliser en cascade un circuit incliné avec les multiples amplificateurs (à l'avant des amplificateurs de fréquences radioélectriques) pour compenser le changement d'amplitude provoqué par les amplificateurs de fréquences radioélectriques non équilibrés. On peut modifier n'importe quel côté de la tension en courant continu pour corriger des courbes de diode laser sous-linéaires ou surlinéaires.

Abstract: A mobile, hand-held fingerprint scanner is recharged by a data and power communication interface. The mobile, hand-held fingerprint scanner includes a rechargeable power supply and a data and power communication interface. The rechargeable power supply powers the fingerprint scanner during mobile use. In one example, the rechargeable power supply includes at least one rechargeable battery, a charging circuit, and a voltage regulator circuit. Data and recharging power is carried over the same interface. A separate plug for power is not needed. The fingerprint scanner can then be inserted quickly and easily in a docking station as only a single data and power communication interface need be coupled. This is particularly advantageous in law enforcement applications where mobile use is important and safety can be compromised if a mobile scanner does not couple to a docking station quickly and easily.

Title: Method and apparatus for ozone sterilization
Inventor: ROBITAILLE SIMON
IPC: A61L2/24
Filed: 2004-11-02
Abstract: The sterilization method disclosed includes the steps of providing a sterilization chamber; placing the article into the sterilization chamber; equalizing the temperature of the article and the sterilization atmosphere; sealing the sterilization chamber; applying a vacuum of a preselected vacuum pressure to the sterilization chamber; supplying water vapour to the sterilization chamber under vacuum; supplying ozone-containing gas to the sterilization chamber; maintaining the sterilization chamber sealed for a preselected treatment period; and releasing the vacuum in the sterilization chamber; whereby a vacuum pressure is used which lowers the boiling temperature of water in the sterilization chamber below the temperature in the sterilization chamber. One or more ventilating cycles can be added to the preferred method for removing the remaining ozone and humidity from the sterilization chamber. Single cycle sterilization with ozone is more efficient and provides for a shorter sterilization cycle than with ETO and requires few changes in user habits. Moreover, the ozone-based process in accordance with the invention is compatible for use with current packaging, such as sterile pouches and rigid containers. The sterilization process is simple and substantially avoids human errors caused by false interpretation and handling. The ozone sterilization method of the invention requires substantially no aeration or cooling down of sterilized instruments so that they can be used immediately following the sterilization cycle. This allows hospitals to reduce the cost of maintaining expensive medical device inventories.
