Abstract: A method of forming an oxide layer on a substrate includes supplying an oxygen-containing gas to a chamber containing a substrate, providing defect oxide material within the chamber and irradiating the substrate with an electromagnetic radiation source, for example using an ultra-violet laser or an ultra-violet lamp, to cause photolytic dissociation of the oxygen-containing gas to provide oxygen atoms in the vicinity of the defect oxide material within the chamber so that oxygen atoms are incorporated in the defect oxide material to provide a layer of defect oxide material with desired oxygen content on the substrate. The defect oxide material with the desired oxygen content may be a high temperature superconducting mixed oxide such as oxides of copper and one or more of the elements of the group consisting of the lanthanides and yttrium.

Abstract: A compensation circuit for electrical generators is disclosed. In an electrical generator (10), the electrical current generated in the armature coil (22) induces a magnetic flux in the flux path (12) of the generator. The compensating circuit of the invention includes a conductor that surrounds a portion of the flux path of the generator. This conductor known as the compensating coil (30), is supplied with a compensating circuit which has a reactive component. The compensating current (Ic) induces a secondary magnetic flux that has a component that opposes the flux induced by the armature current (Ia). In a further embodiment of the invention, a twin generator - generator or twin generator - motor is employed. The compensating coil surrounds the flux path of one of the generators and the other generator or motor is used to supply compensating current to the compensating coil.

Abstract: A node for a fast packet-switching network in optical-­electrical technology comprises an optical switching matrix (MOT) and an electrical control equipment (EC) which processes the signalling and the information packet headers. More particularly, the control equipment updates the label and, depending on such a label, searches for the routing through the node. A centralized node controller (CEL) processes the signalling, while a distributed processing system (PEE) processes the packet headers and routes the packets through the network. For all communications in progress, the distributed processing system (PEE) periodically forwards routing requests towards an electrical self-routing switching matrix (MEL) associated with the optical matrix (MOT); when a connection path has been found between an input and an output of the electrical matrix (MEL), the same path is reproduced in the optical matrix (MOT) and the packets are transferred towards the node output through the optical matrix.

Abstract: A paging system is provided for transferring information to a paging receiver (12), including a central controller (20) having a paging controller (22) for receiving the information, an encoder (24) coupled to the paging controller for generating a selective call paging signal designating the paging receiver. The paging receiver receives and decodes the selective call paging signal generating a coded acknowledgment signal indicating whether the selected paging receiver is in a normal or a deferred operating mode, and transmits this signal back to the paging controller. When the coded acknowledgment signal indicates the paging receiver is in the normal operating mode or memory is available, the information is transmitted to the paging receiver. When the coded acknowledgment signal indicates the paging receiver is in the deferred paging operating mode, and the paging receiver memory is full, the information is stored in the central controller for transmission at a later time.
