Abstract: A display device has a time-constant circuit (7) and a switching element such as a transistor (Q7) for supplying the voltage of a battery (5) to the time-constant circuit (7) when a battery check key (4a) is pressed. A microcomputer (20) measures a time interval from a time when the voltage of the battery (5) starts being supplied to the time-constant circuit (7) to a time when a voltage of the time-constant circuit (7) reaches a predetermined value, and determines the remaining electric energy of the battery (5) from the measured time interval. The microcomputer (20) supplies data to a display unit (3) which then displays a progressively variable display mark combination representative of the determined remaining electric energy of the battery (5).

Abstract: An active matrix type of twisted nematic liquid crystal display is provided with a lower alignment layer rubbed in rubbing directions RD3, RD4 opposite to each other, an upper alignment layer rubbed in rubbing directions RD5, RD6 opposite to each other, a liquid crystal layer arranged between the lower and upper alignment layers and filled with liquid crystal molecules set in a nematic liquid crystal phase, a pixel electrode and an common electrode for inducing a vertical electric field in the liquid crystal layer, and a source line for applying an electric potential to the pixel electrode. In this case, major axes of a group of liquid crystal molecules arranged above the pixel electrode are twisted in a clockwise direction, and major axes of other group of liquid crystal molecules are twisted in a counterclockwise direction. Therefore, even though a lateral electric field is induced between the pixel electrode and the source line, the liquid crystal molecules are not adversely influenced by the lateral electric field.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system utilizes a transmitter  (21) associated with each patient. The transmitter is worn by a patient and includes sensors operative to monitor vital signs of the patient. The transmitter transmits an allocated RF frequency which is particularly associated with that patient. A series of antennas (10,11) are incorporated in a building, each antenna having its own signature signal. As the patient moves throughout the building, the antennas pick up the signals from the patient's transmitter and combines the antenna signature signal (31,33) with the transmitted patient signal. This combined signal (36) is then analyzed at a central location (38) to determine the exact location of the patient due to the antenna signature signal which is modulated on the transmitted patient signal. Transmitted patient data is also decoded at the central station to provide a signal indicative of the vital signs of the patient.

Abstract: In an arrangement where a switching system receives parameter(s) concerning the traffic expected on a call from a first user to a second user, the system determines a priority for the call based on the expected traffic parameter(s), and information is transmitted to the second user during the call based on the determined priority and with less than a maximum jitter. The priority is selected from a predefined priority table based on expected traffic parameters. The priority table is usable for both constant bit rate and statistical calls.

Abstract: Disclosed are a cleanerless image forming apparatus and method which facilitate the collection of residual toners after transfer. The apparatus comprises a rotary endless latent carrier 1, a means 2a for charging the carrier, an exposure means 3 for forming an electrostatic latent image on the carrier, a means 4 for developing the electrostatic latent image by supplying polymerization toners while simultaneously cleaning residual polymerization toners from the carrier; and a means 5a for transferring the polymerization toners from the rotary endless latent carrier 1 to a sheet P. This apparatus uses polymerization toners which are smoother and more uniform than pulverised toners. In a modification, the transfer means 5a is a rotary transfer roller 50 which is more effective than a corona discharge alone. In a further modification, the charging means 2a includes a rotary charging brush 20 which picks up residual toner and gives it the correct charge for removal from the drum 1 by the developer 4.

Abstract: A periodic line and space pattern made of chromium film is formed on a glass substrate, and a phase shifter is arranged on every other transparent portion of the line and space pattern. Using a stepper and the phase shift mask, photoresist film coated on a wafer is exposed several times to light of i-line by varying the focus, then developed. Next, the width Ws of the photoresist pattern formed by the exposure to the light through the phase shifter, and the width Wo of the photoresist pattern formed by the exposure to the light without passing through the phase shifter are measured. Based on the relation between Ws and Wo for defocusing, the transmittance error and the phase shift angle error of the phase shifter are obtained.

Abstract: Es wird beschrieben, wie kontaktlose Chipkarten (smart cards) selbsttätig erkennen, ob sie im Nahbereich eines Terminals arbeiten. Es wird hierzu bei kontaktlosen Chipkarten ein "Stereo-Effekt" ausgenutzt, der sich ergibt, sofern insbesondere zwei Übertrager-Spulen oder Kondensator-Platten in der Karte sind. Mit diesem Effekt ist es möglich, bestimmte Daten auf der Karte einerseits nur dann zu ändern, wenn die kontaktlose Karte in einem Schreib/Lese-Gerät steckt, und andererseits diesen Zugriff zu verbieten, wenn die Karte von ferne angesprochen wird. Karten, welche diesen Effekt nutzen, gewährleisten ihrem Nutzer, daß sie nicht fernabgefragt oder fernbeeinflußt werden können. Sollen insbesondere diese Karten mit geldwerten Einheiten geladen werden, müssen sie in ein Schreib/Lese-Gerät eingeführt werden und können notfalls bei Auftreten von Fehlern einbehalten werden. Auch bei Geräten wie Herzschrittmachern ist die beschriebene Art der Nahübertragung als sichereres Übertragungsverfahren nutzbar und schützt vor störender Fern-Beeinflussung. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of analyzing the data provided by a fluorescent chemical sensor calculates a ratio based on the AC and DC components of the emission from the chemical sensor. This ratio, or the emission modulation, will change should bacterial growth be ongoing in the vial. The calculated ratio is compared to a desired value. The desired value is selected to focus the operation of the system into a high resolution area for the sensor. If the calculated and desired ratios differ, then the frequency of the excitation radiation is changed until the calculated and desired ratios are effectively equal. At that time the adjusted frequency is measured. By focusing the desired ratio into a high resolution area, and adjusting the frequency until the system reaches that ratio one ensures that all readings are performed at a high resolution area of the sensor. The adjusted frequency is utilized to provide an indication of whether the particular vial is experiencing bacterial growth. This adjusted frequency is a linear function of changing conditions within the vial. Several methods of achieving the above features of this invention are disclosed. By utilizing this method, one provides an easily interpreted indication of whether a particular fluorescent chemical sensor is in a vial which is experiencing bacterial growth.

Abstract: A phase locked loop circuit includes a phase/frequency detector which uses a divider circuit and feedback from a clock distribution tree to generate INC and DEC pulses which have no "dead zone". A pair of charge pumps receives the INC and DEC pulses. One charge pump is a differential pump and has voltage controlled common mode feedback circuit to maintain a common mode controlled voltage. A differential current is outputted to a loop filter capacitor by this charge pump. The other charge pump is a single-ended output pump which supplies current to a current controlled oscillator which also receives input from a voltage to current converter. The current controlled oscillator includes a variable resistance load which varies inversely with the magnitude of the input current. A jitter control circuit is provided which reduces jitter in the current controlled oscillator output in the locked phase. Also, a lock indicator is provided which is time independent, and provides a lock indication when the loop enters the locked condition. The circuits for these components are described in detail.
