Abstract: A system and integrated circuit (die) including a clock generator that includes an on-chip inductor and uses the inherent capacitance of the load to generate a sinusoidal clock signal. The inductor is connected between a current source and an inverting switch. The output of the switch is a substantially sinusoidal signal that connected directly to at least a portion of the clock driven circuits without intermediate buffering. In the preferred embodiment, the clock generator is a dual phase design that includes a pair of cross-coupled MOSFET's, a pair of solid state on-chip inductors, and a current source. Each of the on-chip inductors is connected between the current source and the drain of one of the MOSFET's. The outputs of the clock generator are provided directly to the clock inputs of at least a portion of the clock driven circuits on the die. In this embodiment, the frequency of the clock generator output signal is predominantly determined by the inductance of the inductive elements and the capacitance of the clock driven circuitry. This design eliminates the need for incorporating distinct capacitor elements in the clock generator itself and produces a clock generator in which a significant portion of the power oscillates between the generator's inductive elements and the capacitive elements of the load thereby reducing the power required to be supplied by the current source.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif à canal d'écoulement dans lequel au moins une interface de limite d'écoulement sert à réguler le début de liquide dans le canal d'écoulement. En l'occurrence, l'interface de limite d'écoulement empêche l'écoulement du liquide au-delà de l'interface.

Abstract: A WDM optical source, in adopting a spectrum-sliced method,
advantageously needs neither an optical source with specific generation
wavelength nor a wavelength-stabilizing circuit for stabilizing wavelength.
Affording high power and a very narrow line width, the WDM optical source can
provide a broadcasting service without signal distortion by a chromatic dispersion
effect and also avoids the expense of an amplifier and/or external modulator,
thereby relieving subscribers of the economical burden. The practical use of
WDM-PON and of WDM-PON using an inventive WDM optical source can
therefore be brought to fruition and broadcasting service can be provided
economically.

IPC: H04N11/24
Filed: 1993-09-24
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 expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. 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 streams 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.
Furthermore, a communication system based on an QFDM system
is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of
subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by
changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave
interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the
transmission electric power of the carrier.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un rotor triturateur, mélangeur ou défibreur amélioré, équipé d'un anneau à traverses fixé au moyeu du rotor, avec une séries d'ailettes courbes s'étendant depuis cet anneau. Les ailettes ont une face et un bord arrière, lequel peut être unitaire et intégré à l'ailette, ou segmenté en combinaison avec un bord arrière établi sur une traverse sous-jacente à laquelle les ailettes sont fixées. La succion hydrodynamique induite par le bord arrière est amplifiée grâce à l'adjonction d'une barrière à l'extrémité d'ailette de la zone de bord arrière. Les ailettes ont un angle de face constant par rapport aux radians qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur depuis le moyeu du rotor, moyennant quoi la pâte et autres matériaux mélangés par les ailettes durant la rotation du rotor sont en contact plus régulier avec les ailettes, en cours de rotation. En outre, on rationalise les ailettes pour réduire la traînée hydrodynamique, notamment aux extrémités d'ailette, là où la vitesse et donc le potentiel de traînée sont au maximum. Il en résulte des effets de circulation et de pompage accrus, avec des exigences de puissance minimes. Les ailettes peuvent être en matériau très résistant à l'usure et facilement accessibles pour la maintenance, la réparation ou le remplacement.
