Title: Satellite communication
Inventor: CHRISTODOULIDES LOUIS MIMIS
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: A set of formats and protocols is proposed for a satellite communications system. In these formats, a pilot signal (PS) is inserted after every 25 or 29 data symbols. The formats consist of SCPC frames (F) which may contain either data (D) and in-band signalling information (SU), or only signalling information (SU). In either case, the contents of each frame (F) are error-correction coded before transmission with the same coding rate. Each data frame (F) carries the data content of an integral number of input user data frames (M), each of which comprises four subframes. Different symbol transmission rates are used for different input data rates, the symbol transmission rates being selected so that their different synchronising clock rates can easily be obtained from a common clock. Data bursts may be preceded by a constant power level preamble (P). The formats and protocols satisfy the requirements of a high data rate satellite communications system.

Title: Radar range sensor
Inventor: BOEHMKE SCOTT
IPC: G01S7/282
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: A high speed three dimensional scanning radar system 20 provides range maps in operating environments plagued with dust, fog or rain. The system emits a sensor beam formed of high frequency, short duration, energy pulses. Its direction is controlled using a scanning mechanism incorporating a rapidly rotating reflector. The signal returned from the antenna 42 is conditioned and then passed through constant fraction discriminators (CFDs) 92, 94, 96, 98 to provide reliable detection of the time the returned signal is received. A high accuracy timer 24, which generates an analog voltage proportional to target distance, is started at a fixed time relative to signal emission and is stopped when the CFDs trigger detection. An apparatus for processing radar range signals comprising a digital processor for sorting range signals that are within a predetermined range of an intermediate range signal is also disclosed.

Title: Method of crystallising an amorphous silicon layer for a thin film transistor by a laser scanning technique
Inventor: YANG MYOUNG-SU
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: An amorphous silicon layer is formed on a substrate 400 and patterned to form region 41. The amorphous layer is crystallised using sequential lateral solidification. In this technique, a laser beam is scanned over the layer, and successive scans overlap so that the crystal grains can grow to an increased size. A smooth surface can be obtained without a subsequent smoothing step by eliminating the protrusion 43 caused by increased volume of silicon during crystallisation. A thin film transistor can be fabricated by forming an insulated gate electrode, and doping source and drain regions using the gate electrode as a mask.

Abstract: A disposable clam shell container (1), made from sheet thermoplastics material, has a base (2) and a cover (3), either of which has a side wall or walls (3a, 3b, 3c and 2a, 2b, 2c), a part of the side wall(s) of the base (2d:2e), or cover, being displaced with respect to a corresponding part of the cover (6), or base, to form a vent (when the container is closed) to enable the escape of moist air from a cooked food product. The side wall(s) can be displaced (out of its major plane) either inwardly or outwardly, but is preferably pressed inwardly of the container, both to reinforce the wall and to displace a leading edge of the wall (2d or 2e) with respect to a corresponding part of the cover or base. The base may contain a number of pedestals (12) which raise the said product above the floor portion(13) in order to allow circulation of air around the product. The size of the vent is determined with regard to the cooked product to be contained. A method of manufacturing the clam shell container includes the step of pressing the material so as to form depressions which form the base, cover, and pedestals, and to form at least one recess(11) in a side wall of either the base or the cover, the depth to which the recess is pressed and its lateral extent being selected so as to adjust the size of the vent.
