Abstract: The safety structured system (S) has two channels (K1,K2) which are independent of each other and have functional modules (F1,F2) for reliable signal processing. The functional modules operate to provide regular cyclic testing of the single channel programme code (C). The code is controlled by one of the functional units (F1) and the processing is started. At the same time the result is fed back to the unit. Both units have watchdog functions (U1,U2) in the form of timer loops. After the timed period the results of both channels are checked by reading the process status (P).

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayered (10,12,14) water-repellent
film formed on a glass substrate by the sol-gel process. The
multilayered film has a metal oxide base film (10) which has a
minutely rough surface. This surface has an average surface
roughness within a range of from 1 to 20 nm. This roughness is
defined by the following equation (1):
 Ra' =  1 So       Y B     Y T         X L     X R     | F(X,Y) - Zo | d X  d Y           
where Ra' represents said average surface roughness; Provided
that said film has an ideally flat surface, So represents an area of
said ideally flat surface and is found by  | X R  -X L  | × | Y T  - Y B  |  ;
F(X,Y) represents a height at a measuring point of (X,Y) in which
X and Y respectively represents values of x and y coordinates
which are rectangular coordinates on said ideally flat surface; x
coordinate ranges from X L  to X R ; y coordinate ranges from Y B  to
Y T ; and Zo is defined by the following equation (2) and
represents a height of a mean plane which is made by
converting a waviness of filtered wave of a profile curve of said
minutely rough surface to a flat plane,
 Zo =  1 So       Y B     Y T         X L     X R      F(X,Y) d X  d Y

Abstract: According to the present invention, it is possible
to improve a bit error rate performance of a conventional
diversity receiver. 
     In a diversity receiver of the present invention,
first, second to Lth multiple differential detection
signals and received signal strengths are generated by
multiple differential detection/signal strength detecting
circuits (110A,..,110L), and are inputted into a combined branch metric
generating circuit (130) in a sequence estimator, thereby
generating a combined branch metric. An ACS circuit is
operated for an ACS operation on the basis of Viterbi
algorithm by using the combined branch metric. A path
memory (150) sequentially takes as input path selecting signals
outputted from the ACS circuit, and updates the memory
contents. A maximum likelihood state detecting circuit (160)
detects the most probable state by using a path metric
outputted from the ACS circuit. A decision circuit (170)
determines and outputs demodulated data from a value
corresponding to a surviving path leading to the most
probable state detected by the maximum likelihood state
detecting circuit among the oldest memory contents in the
path memory.

Abstract: In a computing system, a pair of processor units operate to execute
substantially identical instructions in synchronised fashion. Each of
the pair of processor units communicates with two data communicating
elements that serve to communicate data to and from the processor pair. 
     A method of fault-tolerant operation of the duplex, synchronised
processor elements consists of receiving and comparing the data from the
pair of processor units in the data communicating elements, and
transmitting an error signal indicative of a miscompare to the pair of
processor units; the processor units transmitting an echoed error signal
upon reception of the error signal; each of the pair of processor units
determining from the error signals and the echoed error signals whether
to continue operation or not; one of the processor units continuing
operation whilst the other terminating operation.

Abstract: A DMOS power transistor has: a source/drain
terminal on a bottom surface of a wafer of a first
conductivity type; a body region of a second
conductivity type, in a top surface of the wafer;
drain/source regions of the first conductivity type
bounded laterally and from below by the body region;
source/drain regions of the first conductivity type
bounded laterally by the body region but in electrical
contact with the source/drain terminal via a first
conductivity type portion of the wafer; and a gate
defining openings overlying the drain/source regions
and openings overlying the source/drain regions. The
gate's size controls channel lengths in the transistor
so that channel lengths are insensitive to diffusion
caused by thermal processes, and the transistor is
easily fabricated on the same chip as other CMOS
devices. Contacts for a drain/source terminal, a gate
terminal, and a body terminal are formed from a single
metal layer overlying the top surface of the wafer.
Active regions of the power transistor are laid out in
cells. In one embodiment, the drain/source regions are
an array of uniformly spaced squares, and the
source/drain regions are interspersed between the
drain/source regions. The source/drain regions' widths
are selected to minimize the resistance per area of the
transistor and may be larger than the minimum design
rule requirements.

Abstract: various data storage formats help to efficiently locate, read, and
write user data stored on magnetic tape media. A tape is formatted by
writing multiple segment-headers, free from any interleaved access of
user data. Adjacent segment-headers are spaced by a predetermined
interval to define multiple data storage segments. Segment-headers all
contain a unique key, which is copied into a key index to identify valid
segments. After formatting, normal tape accesses can be performed.
Without erasing any old headers or data, a new formatting scheme can be
established by writing new segment-headers on the tape. The new
segment-headers include a new unique key, replacing the previous key in
the key index. Previous segment-headers stored on the tape are ignored,
since they lack the updated key. Segments may be selectively grouped to
provide independently addressable partitions. Mapping between segments
and partitions can use a fixed relationship (e.g. one-to-one), or each
partition may be variably sized according to the amount of data to be
stored therein. Variable-sized partitions may be automatically padded
with a selected number of empty segments. Another feature is
flexible-capacity scaling, which distributes an ordered set of device
blocks on a multi-track magnetic tape medium. The device blocks are
bi-directionally stored in a continuous configuration of multiple
adjacent stacked serpentine patterns occupying some or all of the tape.
This configuration permits sequential access of all device blocks without
advancing the tape medium to skip over regions between adjacent device
blocks.

Abstract: A laser system for imaging graphic-arts constructions avoids the need to demagnify a divergent beam by using the output of a semiconductor or diode laser to optically pump a laser crystal, which itself emits laser radiation with substantially less beam divergence. A preferred implementation utilizes, as a pumping source, at least one laser device that emits in the IR, and preferably near-IR region, to image ablative or transfer-type printing members. The output of the pumping source is provided to the laser crystal via a focusing lens arrangement. The output of the laser crystal, in turn, is focused onto the surface of a recording medium to perform the imaging function. Crystal excitation and decay times are minimized by continuously maintaining the pumping source at a bias power level, which keeps the crystal at a continuous, baseline power level just short of lasing or imaging; and then selectively and intermittently increasing power to the pumping source to cause the crystal to lase (or lase at higher power) in an imagewise pattern. By selectively varying the pulse width within certain limits, it is possible to obtain image dots of different sizes while retaining a round dot shape. <IMAGE>
