Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method and
device for aiming and firing a rifle-mounted grenade launcher
without having to approximate the range of a target and then
manually adjust the position of subsequently fired grenades. The
grenadier initiates the process by pointing the grenade launcher
at the target. The range and azimuth of the target are determined
by a microprocessor controlled laser range finder/digital
compass combination. A ballistic solution is calculated by the
microprocessor and the superelevation required to place the grenade
on target is displayed on one of several video displays. The
grenadier then uses the vertical angle measurement capability of
the laser range finder/digital compass assembly to rotate the
grenade launcher to the proper angle while maintaining the proper
azimuth. The grenade is then fired on target. The present
method and associated hardware may be used as one component of
a fully integrated, multi-functional, soldier-centered, computer-enhanced
warfare system.

Abstract: Interactive Program Guide (IPG) data for
television is delivered to integrated receiver-decoders
(IRDs) (130) in a decoder population via,
for example, a satellite network (110,120). The IPG
data provides scheduling information for global and
local programming services which are carried via the
satellite network as well as another network such as
a CATV network (150) or a terrestrial broadcast
network. Each IRD (130) is assigned to an IPG
region using unit addressing. At the IRD (130), IPG
data is filtered so that only the global data (400)
and the region-specific data (405, 410, 415) for the
IRD's IPG region is retained and processed by the
IRD. Channel map data is also delivered to the IRDs
so that bundles of IRD data can be filtered out
using firmware filtering (185) to discard program
sources that are not present in the channel map.
The IRD data which is retained after filtering is
used to provide scheduling information via an on-screen
display (190, 195). A preferred source may
be designated when there are duplicative channels on
the different networks.

Abstract: In an error detecting method and device for calculating a phase
error in a PSK modulated signal having a predetermined modulation
phase number, and so configured that a received phase of the modulated
signal is mapped on a complex plane by allocating an inphase signal and a
quadrature signal generated from the modulated signal as values of the
axis of abscissas and the axis of ordinates, and a phase error between the
received phase of the modulated signal thus mapped and a reference phase
in each of a plurality of signal areas. The phase error between the
received phase of the modulated signal mapped on the complex plane and
a reference phase in each of the plurality of signal areas, is calculated as a
distance between the mapped position of the modulated signal and a
reference straight line, from at least one of the inphase signal and the
quadrature signal, so as to obtain a plurality of phase errors. One signal
area to which the received phase is mapped, is discriminated and selected
from the plurality of signal areas, on the basis of the inphase signal and
the quadrature signal. One phase error corresponding to the
discriminated signal area is selected from the plurality of phase errors
calculated above.

Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine according to one
embodiment of the present invention includes first and
second individual slip rings (18,20) mounted on a rotor
shaft (16). A first end of a coil wire (23) for the rotor
passes through a first axial passage (74) in the first slip
ring (18) and is terminated to conductive material (60,68)
on an axial end of that slip ring. The other end of the
coil wire passes through a second axial passage (76) in the
first slip ring (18) and through an axial passage in the
second slip ring (20) and is terminated to conductive
material on an axial end of the second slip ring (20). The
axial passage of the first slip ring (18) is electrically
insulated from the conductive material (60,68) of that slip
ring, so the wire end does not inadvertently short-circuit
to the conductive material. Also, the first and second slip
rings (18,20) are each designed to cooperate in providing a
gap therebetween which provides space to accommodate the
termination of the first wire end onto the axial end of the
first slip ring.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for randomizing a microprocessor system, such as an IC card, in order to prevent the microprocessor system from being tampered with. The method ensures that the randomized microprocessor system realizes a functionality equivalent to that of an original microprocessor system and enables easy modification of a configuration of the microprocessor system. In the context of this disclosure, to randomize a microprocessor system means to randomize a microprocessor and a program included in the microprocessor system while maintaining an equivalence of functionality realized by the microprocessor system regardless of this randomization. According to the present invention, the method for randomizing a microprocessor system performing a given functionality consists in (a) randomizing items stored in a memory in accordance with randomizing information, and (b) randomizing a microprocessor so as to allow the microprocessor to have an access to the randomized items stored in the memory. Thus, a randomized microprocessor system performing a functionality equivalent to the given functionality is generated.

Abstract: A collar oxide (41) is formed in a semiconductor substrate having (1) a
partially full trench, (2) (i) a fill surface (25) defined by fill material
partially filling said trench, (ii) an upper surface (52) outside of said
trench, and (iii) a trench sidewall surface (42) not covered by said fill
material, and (3) a conformal oxide layer overlying said fill, upper, and
sidewall surfaces, by selectively etching as follows:
   (a) contacting the substrate with a mixture of hydrogen-containing
fluorocarbon and an oxygen source under reactive ion etching conditions
until at least a portion of the conformal oxide layer on the upper
surface is removed, and   (b) contacting the substrate from step (a) with a mixture of a
hydrogen-free fluorocarbon and a diluent gas under reactive ion etching
conditions to further remove conformal oxide remaining on the fill
surface and to overetch the upper and fill surfaces, whereby a
substantial portion of conformal oxide remains on the side walls to form
the collar oxide.    
     A further step (c) may be added after the overetching to remove any
residual byproduct polymer deposits (70). 
     Such an approach is especially adapted for use in the manufacture
of high aspect ratio trench capacitors for integrated circuits, since it
provides reduced degradation of pad nitride layers and may be conducted
without the use of CO gas.

gas by means of a heat exchanger (4) and thereby cooling the
flue gas, and a subsequent absorption step for bringing the
flue gas into gas-liquid contact with an absorbing fluid (D)

present in the flue gas by absorption into the absorbing
fluid (D), which is characterized, for example, in that a
powder addition step for spraying a powder collectable in the
absorption step [e.g., coal ash (H)] into the flue gas is
provided prior to the heat recovery step. This invention
makes it possible to provide a flue gas treating process in
which a countermeasure against SO 3  present in flue gas can be
easily achieved without resorting to ammonia injection and
the flue gas can further be purified without the disadvantage
of causing the injected substance to remain in the treated

Abstract: A calibration technique for lasers of a data acquisition module in a signal
processing system, wherein an optimal value of a phase modulation coefficient
is calculated for each laser and used as the amplitude of a cosine wave signal
for the laser module carrier frequency for phase modulation of the laser output
signal. The phase modulation coefficient is determined from a global average
I/Q ratio, calculated for all channels of the selected laser module, as an
average of all I/Q ratios of in-phase and quadrature phase angle components of
the signals retumed from the sensors. The phase modulation coefficient for the
selected laser module is determined empirically or by dividing the previously
determined phase modulation coefficient by the previously determined global
average I/Q ratio.
