Abstract: Engagement characteristics of electromagnetic friction clutch pack
assemblies disposed in, for example, motor vehicle transfer cases are improved,
especially at the transition between static and dynamic friction modes, by
superimposing a random noise signal on an otherwise smooth analog or stepped
digital signal. The controller and driver for the clutch includes a random noise
(signal) generator having an output which is superimposed on the controller output
generated in response to signals from various sensors disposed on the vehicle.
When the controller inputs cause clutch engagement in accordance with the
controller software, an engagement signal comprising both a drive portion and a
smaller random noise portion is supplied to the electromagnetic clutch operator.
Improved, less perceptible clutch engagement action is thereby achieved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drive apparatus and method for a
plasma display panel, in which the drive apparatus and method improve
contrast and prevent mis-discharge. According to the drive method, in a reset
interval of a first sub-field, a voltage having an increasing ramp waveform is
applied to scan electrodes during a first interval, and common electrodes are
floated during a portion of the first interval such that a voltage of the common
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.

Abstract: A DRM receiver has a pre-FFT time synchroniser (28),
located prior to the FFT circuit (18), which is used to
synchronise the receiver to the incoming symbols to a
reasonable level of accuracy, before handing over to a
post-FFT time synchroniser (30). The pre-FFT algorithm
generates a number of waveforms which are used to detect
the presence and location of the guard interval. The data
before the FFT can be used to obtain relatively crude time
and frequency synchronisation, and then decision logic is
used to switch to using the post-FFT algorithms. The
pre-FFT synchroniser delays the signal (50) by the
duration of the appropriate active symbol period,
correlates (52) the delayed and undelayed signals to
provide a correlation signal representing the result of
the correlation, and detects (46) the centre of mass of
the pulses in the correlation signal, to provide a
synchronisation signal. The post-FFT synchroniser
generates an estimated channel impulse response (72,74),
squares the estimated channel impulse response to provide
an estimated power channel impulse response, combines (76)
the estimated power channel impulse response with a
weighting function to generate a signal which is a measure
of the damage done to the signal response as a function of
window position, the side portions of the weighting
function being substantially of quadratic form, and
locates (78) a minimum in the resultant waveform, to
provide a synchronisation signal.

Abstract: Systems and devices for providing multiple video signals simultaneously to an end user.
Multiple video tuners are each tuned to a different video signal at a content provider's
location. The output of each tuner is then received by a video multiplexer which
multiplexes the disparate video signals into a single composite video signal. The
resulting composite video signal, which presents the different video signals in a grid
pattern with each sector in the grid phoning a different video signal, is then provided
with a suitable user interface. The user interface provides such information such as the
source of each of the video signals and allows an end user to navigate between the
different video signals. The resulting composite video signal with its user interface, is
then encoded and transmitted to an end user device by way of a network. An end user,
using the end user device, can therefore simultaneously view multiple video signals
without the need for switching channels.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating uniform nanotubes are described in which nanotubes were synthesized as sheaths over nanowire templates, such as using a chemical vapor deposition process. For example, single-crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires are utilized as templates over which gallium nitride (GaN) is epitaxially grown. The ZnO templates are then removed, such as by thermal reduction and evaporation. The completed single-crystalline GaN nanotubes preferably have inner diameters ranging from 30 nm to 200 nm, and wall thicknesses between 5 and 50 nm. Transmission electron microscopy studies show that the resultant nanotubes are single-crystalline with a wurtzite structure, and are oriented along the <001> direction. The present invention exemplifies single-crystalline nanotubes of materials with a non-layered crystal structure. Similar 'epitaxial-casting' approaches could be used to produce arrays and single-crystalline nanotubes of other solid materials and semiconductors. Furthermore, the fabrication of multi-sheath nanotubes are described as well as nanotubes having multiple longitudinal segments.
