Abstract: A dry etching method is disclosed for use in
patterning a stacked film (13) of a metal film (13a)
containing aluminum as the base component and a thin
film (13b) including at least one of titanium and
titanium nitride. In this method, the thin film (13b)

CF 4  gas, Ar gas and Cl gas) having a gas composition
for preventing the metal film (13a) from being
processed. The metal film (13a) is then dry-etched
using a second etching gas (a mixture of Cl gas and
BCl 3  gas) having a gas composition other than the first
etching gas.

Abstract: An operating unit with an automatic tool
changing device comprises a tool holding device having
a clutch element for the mandrel. An expanding ring
driven by a slider provides latching and unlatching
operations for the tool holder with respect to the
mandrel. 
     With respect to prior operating units, the
inventive operating unit provides the advantage of a
less size, the mechanical strength of the tool holders
being the same. 
     Moreover, the use of a single mandrel, which
is common to all of the tool holder devices, provides
an operating unit which is much more simple and
unexpensive than prior operating units.

Filed: 1993-03-26
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided
into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points
are divided into signal point groups to which data of the
first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second
data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal
point group. A difference in the transmission error rate
between first and second data streams is developed by
shifting the signal points to other positions in the space
diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data
streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV
broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter
into, low and high, frequency band components which are
designated as a first and a second data stream respectively.
Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only
the low frequency band component or both the low and high
frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: The invention is vary the amount of the liquid
discharged from a same discharge port, thereby
realizing recording of multi gradation levels. 
     After the discharge of a first liquid droplet
(66a), a second liquid droplet (66b) is discharged while
the movable member (31) is still in a displaced state.
In comparison with the first liquid droplet (66a), the
second liquid droplet (66b) has a larger discharge
energy and a larger speed, because the moving energy
of the movable member (31) and the energy consumed for
the liquid flow opposite to the discharge port (18) are
smaller. Thus the first and second droplets are
united to form a united droplet (66d) before landing on
the recording medium (150). In this manner the amount
of the discharged liquid can be varied.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a slip yoke (20) for use with a transmission
(10) in a vehicle drive train assembly includes an initial step of near net forming an
unfinished slip yoke (20), such as forging or casting. Portions of the slip yoke (20)
may be finished machined, if necessary. Then, an outer surface (22) of the slip
yoke (20) is subjected to a burnishing process. Burnishing is a metal working
process wherein one or more rollers are moved into engagement with the outer
surface (22) of the lip yoke (20) as it is rotated. The pressure generated by the
rollers re-shapes the outer surface (22) of the slip yoke (20) to a very smooth
surface without the removal of material. The result is a tough, work hardened,
wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant surface for the outer surface (22) of the slip
yoke (20), having a mirror-like smooth finish. Lastly, the burnished slip yoke (20)
is installed on an output shaft (15) of a transmission (10), wherein it is engaged by
a seal (13). Slip yokes (20) manufactured in accordance with the burnishing
process of this invention have been found to provide significantly better results
than slip yokes (20) manufactured using the prior art grinding method.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de spécification et de synthèse d'un circuit numérique synchrone, tout d'abord par acceptation d'une spécification d'un système asynchrone dans lequel les valeurs enregistrées sont mises à jour en fonction d'un ensemble de règles de transition d'états. Par exemple, les règles de transition d'états sont spécifiées en tant que système de réécriture de terme (Term Rewriting System / TRS) dans lequel chaque règle spécifie un certain nombre de transitions d'états possibles, et comprend un antécédent logique sur les valeurs enregistrées et une spécification fonctionnelle des valeurs enregistrées après une transition d'états en terme de valeurs enregistrées avant la transition d'état. La spécification du circuit asynchrone est convertie en une spécification d'un circuit synchrone dans lequel un certain nombre de transitions d'états peuvent se produire durant chacune des périodes d'horloge. Le procédé comprend l'identification d'ensembles de transitions d'états, par exemple par identification d'ensembles de règles TRS, qui peuvent se produire durant une seule période d'horloge, ainsi que la formation d'une spécification du circuit synchrone permettant à toute transition d'états d'un seul ensemble de se produire durant une période d'horloge individuelle quelconque.

Inventor: SORRELLS DAVID F
IPC: H03D7/00
Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: A balanced transmitter up-converts a baseband signal directly from baseband-to-RF. The up-conversion process is sufficiently linear that no IF processing is required, even in communications applications that have stringent requirements on spectral growth. In operation, the balanced modulator sub-harmonically samples the baseband signal in a balanced and differential manner, resulting in harmonically rich signal. The harmonically rich signal contains multiple harmonic images that repeat at multiples of the sampling frequency, where each harmonic contains the necessary information to reconstruct the baseband signal. The differential sampling is performed according to a first and second control signals that are phase shifted with respect to each other. In embodiments of the invention, the control signals have pulse widths (or apertures) that operate to improve energy transfer to a desired harmonic in the harmonically rich signal. A bandpass filter can then be utilized to select the desired harmonic of interest from the harmonically rich signal. The sampling modules that perform the sampling can be configured in either a series or a shunt configuration. In embodiments of the invention, DC offset voltages are minimized between the sampling modules to minimize or prevent carrier insertion into the harmonic images.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil de poursuite de position/orientation dans un volume limité. Ces procédés et cet appareil font appel à au moins un détecteur fixe, appelé 'détecteur témoin', ayant une position et une orientation fixes près ou à l'intérieur du volume afin de représenter la distorsion électromagnétique. Un ou plusieurs détecteurs-sonde sont placés sur un objet devant être poursuivi à l'intérieur du volume et la sortie de chaque détecteur témoin sert à calculer les paramètres d'une source électromagnétique efficace non réelle. Les paramètres de la source efficace servent d'entrées pour le calcul de la position et de l'orientation mesurées par chaque détecteur-sonde, comme si l'objet se trouvait dans le champ électromagnétique non distorsionné produit par la source ou les sources efficaces. Outre les suiveurs pour les visualisations de casque dans des avions, des chars d'assaut et des véhicules blindés, l'invention est utile pour tout système de poursuite électromagnétique susceptible d'être soumis à une distorsion ou à une interférence électromagnétique.
