Filed: 1994-08-02
Abstract: A signal combiner for use in a space diversity radio receiving system, that accepts two signals which have been received at physically diverse locations and which have been converted from radio frequency to intermediate frequency. Each signal is checked for signal strength and for amplitude versus frequency dispersion, and is run through a separate amplitude slope equalizer which removes amplitude slope. Each signal is then run through a separate squelch circuit which either attenuates the signal, or passes it on undiminished. The squelch circuits are controlled by a control circuit which selectively activates one or neither of the squelch circuits based on the difference in signal strength between the two received signals and the signal dispersion of each of the signals. The outputs of the squelching circuits are then combined to create a composite signal which is comprised of one or both of the equalized signals.

Abstract: A simulated battlefield mine (1) for an electronic shooting game provides improved visual effects and new challenges for players. A flash beacon (10) is operated to flash repeatedly to provide a warning before a simulated mine explosion. In a vulnerable mode of operation the mine (1) may be hit by radiation from a shooting game gun as recorded at a sensor/transmitter unit (11). This may delay or prevent an explosion occurring. When an explosion occurs, strobe lights (9) are operated in a flashing mode, a siren (16) is activated, and a speaker (15) emits a sound simulating an explosion. At the same time, radiation is transmitted from the units (11) to hit players who are in the line of radiation. Many variations in the mode of operation are possible under computer (3) control.

Abstract: A memory system is able to simultaneously access multiple rows in page mode operation. The multiple page memory includes a memory array with multiple internal read registers to improve the effective page cycle time. The multiple page memory of this invention is very effective in graphics applications where multiple page memory access is required. A memory with multiple page random access in accordance with this invention greatly enhances performance by allowing different sources to continue to access the memory in the page mode, in spite of intervening memory accesses by other sources to other rows of the memory. A VRAM with multiple page random access in accordance with this invention provides an even higher performance graphic memory system.

Abstract: A connector (2) comprises an insulative housing (4) having a plurality of cavities (6) extending therethrough for receiving stamped and formed terminals (8) therein. The terminals (8) have a U-shaped base section comprising a base wall (20) and side walls (22,24). One of the side walls comprises an upper polarizing extension (71) and the other side wall comprises a lower polarizing extension (72) disposed substantially diagonally from the upper extension. The diagonally opposed polarizing extensions (71,72) allow 0 or 180° polarization of the terminals (8) for insertion into the cavity (6). Due to positioning of the polarizing extensions proximate corners of the cavity, they abut against sturdier and less flexible corner wall sections of the housing when incorrectly inserted, and due to the use of two opposed extensions (71,72) the extensions can be made more compact. The latter also allows close centerline to centerline configuration of the terminals due to the rhombic shape of the cavities that allow maintenance of a minimum and substantially constant wall thickness (90) between adjacent cavities.
