Abstract: A zero voltage switching isolated boost converter that provides high efficiency
power conversion between input and output DC voltages. The boost converter
comprises a voltage amplifying stage (50) including first and second switching
transistors (21a, 21b), an input coupled inductor (11), and an output transformer (13).
The voltage amplifying stage amplifies the DC input voltage which is transformed by
the output transformer to produce the DC output voltage. A zero voltage control input
circuit (20) is coupled to gates of the switching transistors and to the output of the
voltage amplifying stage. The input circuit generates synchronization signals that
synchronize rising edges of gate drive signals applied to the switching transistors with
a resonant circuit. This is achieved by observing the state of gate and drain voltages
of the switching transistors and detecting the moment when both drains are low, and
both gates are not high. First and second pulsewidth modulators (25) are coupled to
the gates of the switching transistors that sense current flowing through the switching
transistors and generate falling edges of the gate drive signals that drive the gates of
the switching transistors in response to an output voltage error signal and the sensed
switch current.

Abstract: A method for efficient interleaving of variable-length packets is
provided. In packet networks, block interleaving of variable-length
packets can be inefficient when the interleaver block size is fixed and
smaller than the packet size. For certain packet lengths, the remaining
number of elements for the last block (i.e., bytes or symbols) can be
very low. The method provides a way to calculate the optimal interleaver
block sizes for a preselected packet length and a preselected
interleaver width. The sizes of blocks are maximized, while their sizes
are made nearly equal.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a synthesis gas
containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide comprises steps
of removing only hydrogen sulfide from a natural gas
containing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide by
permitting the natural gas to pass through a hydrogen
sulfide-removing device (30) filled with a hydrogen
sulfide absorbent, adding carbon dioxide and steam to
the natural gas which the hydrogen sulfide has been
removed to prepare a mixed gas, and feeding the mixed
gas into a reaction tube (11) of a reformer (10),
thereby permitting mainly a steam reforming reaction to
take place in the mixed gas. This method enables
hydrogen sulfide in natural gas to be removed while
permitting the carbon dioxide of natural gas to be
effectively utilized, thereby reducing the quantity of
carbon dioxide to be added to the natural gas to be
transferred to the reformer (10).

Abstract: Torque restrictions on a drive shaft are enhanced when the angular
acceleration AX of the drive shaft exceed a specific first threshold value.
The enhanced torque restrictions are subsequently relaxed when the angular
acceleration drops below the first threshold value and further a specific
restriction relaxation condition is satisfied. The torque restrictions are
expressed as a graph representing a relation according to which an upper
torque limit Tmax decreases with increased angular acceleration AX. The
torque restriction are enhanced or relaxed by moving the position of a torque
axis relative to the graph along the angular acceleration axis while
preserving a shape of the graph.

Abstract: A magnetic tape (T), on which a plurality of patterned tracks
indicating a plurality of PAL type color television video
signals recorded at a long time recording speed in a long time
play mode are formed in series, is wound on a rotational drum (DA)
on which a pair of rotational magnetic heads (H1,H2) are arranged to
be spaced at 180 degrees apart. When the PAL type color
television video signals are read out from the magnetic tape
while the magnetic tape is run at a special reproducing speed
higher than the long time recording speed, phases of a
plurality of color difference signals R-Y included in the PAL
type color television video signals are controlled on
condition that the phases of the color difference signals R-Y
are alternately set to an inverted condition every horizontal
scanning period even though one rotational magnetic head
scanning the magnetic tape is changed to the other rotational
magnetic head. Therefore, the occurrence of a skew in a
reproduced image or the decoloration of the reproduced image
can be prevented.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit structure is provided having a semiconductor
substrate (10) and depositing a layer (42) to be patterned on the semiconductor substrate
(10). An organic anti-reflection coating (44) is deposited on the layer (42) to be patterned
and then an organic photoresist (46) on the anti-reflection coating (44). The photoresist
(46) is patterned and developed to form an opening having a side wall (52) and to expose a
portion of the anti-reflection coating (44). The photoresist (46) and the exposed portion of the
anti-reflection coating (44) adsorb non-active molecules. A unidirectional electron-ion bombardment
causes desorption of non-active molecules, that gives access of active molecules to
the exposed surface of the anti-reflection coating (44). Bombardment also causes decomposition
of non-active molecules on the exposed surfaces, which produces active atoms. Both processes
provide unidirectional removal of the anti-reflection coating (44) without attacking the
photoresist side walls (52) and underlying layers.
