Abstract: The invention concerns a digital radio (2) for pseudo-duplex radio communication, and a method of transmission time mediation for pseudo-duplex radio communication. <??>A digital radio (2) is in time division duplex communication with a second digital radio (4) over a single radio channel. Control of the radio channel may reside with either radio. However, authority for a radio to change the frame format in order to increase the proportion of time for which it transmits always resides entirely with the radio currently transmitting the least per frame. This is also the radio which transmits first in each frame. This arrangement lows rapid response to a need for a radio to move from listening to speaking mode, thereby reducing speech clipping. <??>When the digital radio (2) and the second digital radio (4) are transmitting for equal proportions of the frame, authority to change the frame format passes to the radio that is transmitting at that instant. <??>The apparatus and method of the invention provide a rapid switching of transmission mode, with minimal speech clipping when a user of the radio (2) starts to speak. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-torpedo defence method which is due to be implemented from a ship (10) which is attacked by torpedoes (16). For that purpose, said ship comprises a sonar system composed of an active on-board sonar (11) having a panoramic view with an astern gap and a towed sonar (12) at a distance from the ship (10). Said sonar system is due to locate a torpedo and a defence means located at a distance from the ship is used to protect said ship against the torpedo. The aim of the invention is to improve the anti-torpedo defence method in order to obtain a reliable protection, even against loud torpedoes from astern, by means of reduced technical means in the on-board sonar (12). For that purpose, said on-board sonar (12) passively locates a torpedo (16) from an astern region of the ship (10) and measures over time the frequency of at least one significant spectral line propagated by said torpedo (16). The distance (aT) to said torpedo (16) is determined continuously on the basis of the bearing excursion speed, the frequency of the spectral line and the rate of frequency change, and the defence means is activated from a predetermined distance.

Abstract: A high bandwidth clock buffer, including a steering circuit, significantly increases the maximum frequency at which CMOS technology can be used to perform high-speed logic functions. In particular, the clock buffer includes a steering circuit for enhancing a voltage follower stage. The steering circuit includes steering transistors positioned between voltage follower transistors and constant current sources. The steering circuit switches all or substantially all of the current from both of the constant current sources through whichever of the two voltage follower transistors is being pulled low, thus doubling the amount of current that is available for slewing when the output is being pulled low. At the same time, since the voltage follower transistor that is being pulled high no longer has to source the constant current I0, the effective maximum current that can be supplied to charge up the load capacitance is increased by approximately I0. The clock buffer provides a higher unity gain bandwidth than a standard CML buffer, while maintaining a well controlled delay which will track other logic gates.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de transporter un ruban de matériau ondulé, comprenant un dispositif de déplacement d'air, un plénum relié audit positif de déplacement d'air destiné à recevoir l'air provenant de ce dispositif, une série de fentes directionnelles et des parois latérales. Les fentes directionnelles sont en communication fluidique avec le plénum de sorte que l'air du plénum sort par lesdites fentes directionnelles dans un sens prédéterminé. Elles sont agencées en une configuration généralement plane afin de former une piste de transport. Les parois latérales sont situées de chaque côté de la piste de transport de façon à s'étendre au-dessus de celle-ci. Le matériau ondulé peut être une bande plate de fibre ondulée, telle qu'une bande plate de fibre d'acétate ondulée. Les ondulations peuvent s'étendre dans un sens ascendant-descendant ou dans un sens aller-retour. Le plénum peut être formé de deux pièces de support allongées dotées de parties découpées. Dans ce cas, les fentes directionnelles sont formées par des lames d'air qui s'ajustent dans les parties découpées desdites pièces de support allongées, ces parties définissant les parois latérales. La position des lames d'air dans les parties découpées peut être réglée de façon à faire varier l'espace entre lesdites lames d'air. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le plénum peut être formé d'un matériau tubulaire à intérieur creux. Dans ce cas, les fentes directionnelles sont des découpes formées partiellement dans le matériau tubulaire de sorte que lesdites découpes pénètrent dans l'intérieur creux dudit matériau tubulaire.

Abstract: The composition, free carrier concentrations, and other properties of thin films and graded layers embedded in film stack structures are measured by the method of the invention, which is based upon the application of two novel algorithms to extract the composition of a measured layer independently of the confounding effects of additional layers, and which can be effected even when calibration samples are not available with the same layered structure as the samples to be measured. The method uses sample model-based analysis algorithms to extract the dielectric function of the layer to be measured, combined with model-based analysis to relate the composition of the layer to its dielectric function. Because the dielectric function of a layer is a bulk spectral property of the material, and is inherently independent of the thickness of the layer, the composition of the material can be determined more easily and unambiguously from its dielectric function than from raw spectral quantities such as reflectance, ellipsometry, and transmittance, which spectral data are influenced strongly by the optical properties of the overlayers, the underlayers, and the substrate material. The method enables the measurement of layer composition with significantly fewer calibration samples, it allows product wafer analysis with structures that are significantly more complicated than the calibration samples, and it is intrinsically more reliable for transferring calibrations between tools even when the measurement geometry varies from tool-to-tool.

Abstract: The reactions of single cells to particular substances in their environment can be established by means of signal converters. In a manner known per se, the potential difference between the interior and the exterior of a cell is measured by means of electrodes, whereby the cell is, however, damaged at least in certain places. Conventional methods which permit a recording of a cell reaction without intervening in the cell interior are either complex or limited in response. In a measuring technique, using at least one biological receptor cell, an asymmetric, extra-cellular, electrical potential of the at least one receptor cell is formed, which produces a multi-pole field and said multi-pole field is applied to determining the cell reaction. The asymmetry in the extra-cellular electrical potential of the at least one receptor cell which reacts to environmental changes can be achieved by, for example, embedding the at least one receptor cell in a bedding element which corresponds to the geometrical form thereof.
