Abstract: A semiconductor body has source and drain regions (4 and 5; 4' and 5') spaced apart by a body region (6; 6') and a drain drift region (50; 50') and both meeting the same surface (3a) of the semiconductor body. An insulated gate structure (7; 70'; 700) is provided within a trench (80; 80'; 80'') extending in the semiconductor body. The gate structure has a gate conductive region (70b; 70'b; 70''b) separated from the trench by a dielectric layer (70a; 70'a) such that a conduction channel accommodation portion (60; 60') of the body region extends along at least side walls (80a; 80'a; 80''a) of the trench and between the source (4; 4') and drain drift (50; 50') regions. The trench extends from the body region into the drain drift region (50; 50') and the dielectric layer has, at least on side walls (80a; 80'a; 80''a) of the trench, a greater thickness in the portion of the trench extending into the drain drift region (50; 50') than in the remaining portion of the trench so that an extension (71; 71'; 71''; 710) of the gate conductive region extending within the trench through the drain drift region (50; 50') towards the drain region (5; 5') forms a field plate.

Abstract: A method for transmitting signals, and digital signals in particular, from a given point such as a base station (BS) to a terminal such as a mobile communications network terminal (T) envisages that said terminal (T) generates pulse signals at determined instants. The base station (BS) detects the received waveforms, which have been altered as a result of phenomena such as multipath propagation, for example. The waveforms thus detected are subjected to phase conjugation, e.g., in the form of time reversal. Transmission form the base station (BS) to the terminal (T) takes place using waveforms corresponding to the phase conjugated waveforms thus obtained. In this way, a waveform corresponding to that of the aforesaid pulse signals can be reconstituted at terminal (T). Reconstitution takes place only at the geographical position occupied by the terminal (T), without requiring the base station to track the terminal's geographical location and without the need to divide geographical areas into cells in order to permit frequency reuse.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus for performing power exercises with one or more weights, wherein a weight consists of a reservoir for filling with liquid and/or air. This reservoir, referred to below as weight reservoir, serves as weight resistance for a power exercise and is connected by means of a flexible liquid conduit to a liquid displacing device. This liquid displacing device can carry liquid into the weight reservoir and remove it from the weight reservoir, whereby the weight of the weight reservoir, and thus the resistance of the power exercise, becomes greater or smaller. The operation of this liquid displacing device can be carried out by the user while performing the exercise in order to adjust the weight to his or her wishes without having to interrupt the power exercise for this purpose. The invention can be applied to power exercises with free weights and power exercises wherein the weight reservoir is provided with a conducting device. A buffer tank and dumbbell suitable for application in such an apparatus also form an aspect of the invention, in addition to a method for performing one or more power exercises wherein such an apparatus is used. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Thermoplastic polymers, rubbery polymeric components and reinforcing fillers are mixed and heated to a range of 380° F. to 440° F. The resulting mixture is then fed into a Banbury mixer, with the resulting mixture fed into a diverter feeding two molds. The velocity of the piston of each mold being filled is controlled to thereby control the density of the molded product along its length. As each mold is filled, it is deposited in a cool water bath (50° F.-60° F.) while the next mold is being filled. The molds are sequentially transferred to an air cooling rack to complete the process. A texture, generally comprising indentations perpendicular to the longitudinal axis on the molded object, provides a frictional surface between the railway crosstie and the ballast beneath the crosstie.
