Inventor: SWIFT STEVEN D
IPC: G01R19/25
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: A front-end architecture is provided for a measurement instrument having a single path
for the input signal for conversion into digital samples. A signal conditioner may be
coupled via a pair of test leads across a voltage source, current source, or component to
develop an input signal. The input signal is provided to a sampling system, which
comprises a sigma-delta converter followed by a decimation filter, which over-samples
the input signal to produce a continuous stream of digital samples. The digital samples
are provided to a set of digital extraction filters, each digital extraction filter having a
structure and transfer function adapted for extracting a measurement parameter from the
stream of digital samples. Parameter extraction is performed on a continuous basis so
that the digital samples and the resulting digital measurement values arrive in a
continuous stream. Extracted parameters include the d.c. value of the input signal, the
rms value of the input signal, the waveform parameters of the input signal, and the peak
min/max values of the input signal.

Abstract: A quantified symbol stream is sampled, using the quantified symbols prior to the current symbol, to generate a modeling value that characterizes the stream. The modeling value is used to generate, or retrieve, a probability function that provides the probability that the current symbol will be the next symbol in the symbol stream. The probability given by the probability function is then used to select the used to represent the data. The encoded symbol is later decoded using the characteristics of the code, and an identical probability function, to determine the value of the original quantified symbol.

Abstract: A control valve (40) is provided to be mainly used in a
clutch-less compressor of the type in which displacement of
the compressor is varied depending on the inclination of a
drive plate (17) which varies depending on the crank
pressure. The control valve (40) includes biasing means
(47,52) that applies force to a valve body (46), a force
transferring member (65) that urges the valve body (46) to
forcibly open the valve against the force of the biasing
means (47,52) and the pressure difference between a crank
chamber (3) and a suction chamber (8) of the compressor, and
a solenoid assembly (60) to actuate the force transferring
member (65). The valve remains closed when no electric
current is supplied to the solenoid assembly (60),
regardless of the crank pressure or the suction pressure.
This facilitates minimum displacement operation of the
compressor for a desired period of time and therefore makes
the valve suitable for a clutch-less type compressor that is
directly connected to an engine with a belt and/or a pulley.

Abstract: A tape cassette (24) which contains a roll of a magnetically affixable
printing tape (26) formed around a holding reel (27) and a roll of an ink ribbon (28)
formed around a holding reel (29) and having a non-magnetic ink layer formed
on the ribbon is set in a cassette accommodating section of a tape printer.
The printing tape and the ink ribbon are fed out from their holding reels
within the cassette across a cut in the tape cassette and through between a
thermal head and a platen roller while being pressed by those elements to
thereby perform printing. The printing tape comprises a printing layer
and a magnetic layer pasted to the printing layer. S and N poles which
extend lengthwise of the tape are alternately arranged widthwise on the
magnetic layer. Thus, two overlapping poles of any two adjacent turns of
the tape have the same polarity at any peripheral position. Thus, a
relatively small force is required for draw the printing tape out from the
tape cassette, and stabilized conveyance of the tape and satisfactory
printing are achieved.

Abstract: In order to realize a higher reliability TFT and a high reliability
semiconductor device, an NTFT of the present invention has a channel
forming region, n-type first, second, and third impurity regions in a
semiconductor layer. The second impurity region is a low
concentration impurity region that overlaps a tapered potion of a gate
electrode with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween, and the
impurity concentration of the second impurity region increases
gradually from the channel forming region to the first impurity
region. And, the third impurity region is a low concentration impurity
region that does not overlap the gate electrode. 
     Moreover, a plurality of NTFTs on the same substrate should
have different second impurity region lengths, respectively, according
to difference of the operating voltages. That is, when the operating
voltage of the second TFT is higher than the operating voltage of the
first TFT, the length of the second impurity region is longer on the
second TFT than on the first TFT.

Abstract: A catalytic plasma converter (10) combines oxidation and
reduction of exhaust gas emissions such as HC, CO, NO and NOx by
providing a pair of catalytic metallic porous elements (18,20), such as electrically
conductive metal matrix material, spaced apart to define an intermediate
reaction chamber (22). High voltage electric charges of opposite polarity applied
to the two elements (18,20) generate a gas plasma in exhaust gases passing through the
converter reaction chamber (22). Passage of gases through the catalytic elements
oxidizes CO and HC emissions present in the exhaust gases while the gas
plasma in the reaction chamber (22) causes reduction of NO and NOx and further
reaction of HC and CO exhaust emissions.

Abstract: A quantum cascade (QC) laser has a multilayer core region comprising alternating
layers of a first and a second semiconductor material, with lattice constants a 1  and a 2 ,
respectively. The first material is selected such that a 1  > a o , where a o  is the lattice
constant of the substrate (typically InP), and the second material is selected such that
a  2  a o . The materials are also selected such that the conduction band discontinuity ΔE c 
between the first and second materials is greater than 520 meV in absolute value. The
multilayer core comprises a multiplicity of essentially identical multilayer repeat units.
The layer thicknesses and materials of the repeat units are selected to substantially
provide strain compensation over a repeat unit. QC lasers according to this invention
preferably comprise a distributed feedback feature, (e.g., a Bragg grating) selected to
ensure single mode laser emission, and can be designed for operation at a wavelength in
the first atmospheric window, typically about 3-5 µm. Such lasers can advantageously be

Abstract: Periodic inking artifacts (Fig. 2) are reduced by
randomness (82) introduced into an image-processing stage
(73). This goes beyond providing a fixed pattern earlier
derived through random processing; rather the system literally
introduces randomness or at least pseudorandomness
into the image-processing stage. Preferably a superpixel
(87) is selected, essentially at random, from a plurality
of superpixels (84) - at least for points with an intermediate
tonal level, which is the part of the tonal range
where dot-placement error is most conspicuous. If image
scaling (78) or some other reason for using superpixels
(and starting with a coarse grid) is not present, the randomness-introduction
approach preferably includes preparing
(86) the image (71) using a pixel grid that is coarser
than the available printer resolution. The selected superpixel
(87) is applied at the coarser grid to define a
set of individual pixels at printer resolution. A major
preference relates to printing in  sequential  printing
passes: a printmasking stage (Fig. 8, fifth block; 74),
downstream and distinct from the image-processing stage,
is used to establish temporal assignments of inking into
the plural passes. For printing systems that already employ
superpixels, selecting superpixels randomly achieves
major artifact-reduction gains but adds little complexity,
apparatus, processing time or cost.
