Abstract: The radar device is mounted on a vehicle and detects the position and the velocity of objects in the vicinity of the vehicle. The device transmits and receives a continuous frequency modulated signal, and includes an evaluation unit. The transmitter (10) transmits the radar signal for time intervals that are determined by the velocity (15) of the vehicle. At higher speed of the vehicle the transmission interval becomes longer, and at lower speed it becomes shorter. The time interval at higher speeds is pref. increased to allow the transmitter to reach a predetermined condition respective to output power or frequency stability.

Abstract: A machine for making semi-finished reinforcing fabrics esp. with a thermoplastic matrix has a feed device (4) for the reinforcing fibres followed by a consolidating device (6) and a wind-up (7). A transport band holds the fabric in a defined position and consists of a needled apron (1) with projecting pins. Pref. a non-woven (2) is fed on to amoving pinned apron (1) which supports it over the full width. Reinforcing fibres, e.g. glass fibre rovings, are deposited in the desired position by a traversing feed which incorporates a press roller to place the rovings on the pins against a pressure plate (9). A second non-woven (3) covers the reinforcement and the assembly is removed from the pinned apron (1) by a stripper (8), consolidated between rollers (6) and wound up (7) for further processing. The pins are equally spaced at, pref. 1 - 3 mm, approximately 3 mm high and inclined in the forward feed direction. The apron (1) is driven at the same speed as the rollers (6). The apron width is pref. limited to 3 m and several aprons can be used in parallel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for interfacing between a Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) circuit and an ATM Cell Interface is disclosed. The interface circuit comprises a transmit FIFO and a receive FIFO. The transmit FIFO transfers data from the System and ATM Layer Core in the SAR circuit to a Cell Interface block, which in turn dispatches the data to the ATM Cell Interface. The receive FIFO transfers data received from the ATM Cell Interface via the Cell Interface block, to the Core. Various interface signals provided between the Core and the transmit FIFO, the transmit FIFO and the Cell Interface block, the Core and the receive FIFO, and the receive FIFO and the Cell Interface block, are used to coordinate data transfer. The interface circuit insulates the Core from the ATM Cell Interface, allowing the Core to operate independently from ATM Cell Interface specifics.

Abstract: An improved solar cell design and method of fabrication that primarily uses two materials, n-type doped silicon and aluminum to form a p-n alloy junction back contact solar cell. The aluminum alloy junctions are placed on the back (unilluminated) side of the cell, thereby combining the desirable features of aluminum (as a dopant, contact metal and light reflector), with the advantages of a back contact cell. The cell design and method of fabrication includes such features as surface texturing, front and back surface field minority carrier mirrors, surface passivation using oxidation layers, use of Al contacts as light reflectors, intrinsic protection against reverse bias due to contiguous n +  and p +  regions, and an improved bus bar contact design suitable for interconnecting cells using a surface mount technology. An improved method of ohmic contact formation uses a self-alignment technique for forming the ohmic contacts.

Abstract: A method for erasing a Flash EPROM array (AR) includes applying a series of erase pulses to all of the subarrays (S1,S2, etc.) of a Flash EPROM array (AR) simultaneously. Between each erase pulse, the memory cells (10) of each subarray (S1,S2, etc.) are simultaneously checked one row at a time and one column position at a time, to see whether or not any cell (10) is over-erased. If, at any time during the method a cell (10) is found to be over-erased, the over-erased condition is corrected and the erase procedure continues, but with erase pulses applied only to those subarrays (S1,S2, etc.) having non-erased memory cells (10) as in prior-art subarray erase procedures. Under almost all circumstances, the method of this invention decreases over-all erase time.

Abstract: In a light source for generating light containing multiple wavelengths substantially uniform in intensity, a wavelength demultiplexing element 10 (for example, waveguide-type wavelength selecting filter) demultiplexes input light into a plurality of wavelengths 1 through 32. Optical amplifiers 14-1 through 14-32 amplify outputs of the element 10 and applies them to input ports of a wavelength multiplexing element 12. The wavelength multiplexing element 12 wavelength-multiplexes their input. Output of the wavelength multiplexing element 12 is applied to a fiber coupler 16 which, in turn, applies one of its outputs to the wavelength demultiplexing element 10. The optical amplifiers 14 have a gain larger by approximately 10 dB than the loss in the optical loop made of the element 10, optical amplifier 14, element 12 and fiber coupler 16. The other output of the fiber coupler 16 is wavelength-multiplex light containing wavelengths 1 through 32.

Abstract: The method involves determining the geographic position in a mobile station using a receiver and evaluation unit to receive and evaluate satellite navigation signals. The mobile station reads at least one geographical position reference marker placed along a possible path of the mobile station and feeds the known position, the distances to receivable satellites and the pseudo-distances of the reference marker to the receivable satellites into the evaluation unit. The pseudo distances are compared with the actual distances to determine a distance correction value. The pseudo distances are determined only by satellite navigation and corrected by the correction values when the station is between two reference markers. A position can be derived from the corrected pseudo distances when required.

In certain embodiments, each of these branch conduits includes a small neck joining the branch conduit to its corresponding front or rear conduits. In other embodiments of the invention, each of the side chambers comprises a Helmholtz resonator. Each Helmholtz resonator, in turn, comprises a short branch conduit leading to a resonant cavity having a prescribed volume.

Abstract: Transitions between two video frames are effectuated by selecting a FROM frame and a TO frame (31), generating a stream of bidirectionally-dependent duplicator frames which vary, placing the FROM frame in the past buffer of a decoder, placing the TO frame in the future frame of a decoder, feeding the stream of duplicator frames to the decoder, causing the duplicator frames to be displayed, and beginning normal playback of the video stream containing the TO frame at the TO frame position. Frame-specific access is accomplished by determining the location and type of target frame, identifying the reference frames to which the target frame directly and indirectly refers, parsing the reference frames with a decoder while the decoder's video display is suppressed, enabling the video display, and beginning normal decoder playback at the target frame location in the video bitstream. Reverse play is similar.

Abstract: In a print head which can be mounted in a

eject an ink and a second ejection portion to eject
a print performance improving liquid to aggregate or

effectively prevents the mixing of the ink and the
print performance improving liquid if one or both of
these liquids should leak before the print head is
mounted in the printer. The seal member (3) having
an opening (23) and adapted to seal the first and
second ejection portions (13a, 13b) so that its
opening is located between these ejection portions
is removably bonded to the print head (2). This
arrangement closes the ejection portions with the
protective tape (3), preventing leakage of the ink

or both of these liquids should leak, the liquid
seeping toward the other ejection portion by
capillary action generated at the joint portion
between the protective tape (3) and the orifice
plate surface can be blocked by the opening (23) of
the protective tape (3) that nullifies the capillary
action.
