Abstract: A four transistor dynamic memory cell
architecture and refresh technique which allows for
cell refresh to occur during a read operation. The
access and memory transistors of the individual memory
cells are fabricated with a relative width-to-length
ratio such that it is sufficient to merely activate
the associated word line to perform the refresh
operation. This is accomplished without activating
the read sense amplifier resulting in lower power
consumption and the retention of most recently read
data. Multiple word lines may be activated
concurrently utilizing the technique disclosed to
further reduce the refresh rate overhead in a memory
array and increase the overall memory array bandwidth.

Abstract: In a vehicle headlight optical axis automatic adjusting
system, a pitch angle (p) in the longitudinal direction of
a vehicle is calculated from a signal of a height sensor (11,
11F, 11R). Filtering corresponding to a control mode
according to the acceleration is fixed and is not frequently
switched unless the constant speed state of the vehicle
continues for a predetermined time. The pitch angle (p)
may be calculated on the basis of the vehicle rear height
value (HR) by using a prediction expression which is divided
into a plurality of regions of vehicle postures according
to loading conditions of an occupant load and a trunk load
in correspondence with the vehicle type. The pitch angle
(p) may be updated when the vehicle enters a constant speed
driving (stable driving) mode, so that even when one trip
is not finished the error is cancelled.

Abstract: The invention provides a pedal assembly ( 10 ) for use in a vehicle ( 11 ) comprising
a pedal arm that moves in a normal operating range between a rest position and an applied
position under a normal operating load and includes a rebound mechanism for moving the
pedal arm to an extended position in response to an applied load greater than the normal
operating load. The rebound mechanism rebounds the pedal arm to the normal operating
range when the applied load is reduced to the normal operating load. In one
embodiment, the break away and rebound pedal assembly ( 10 ) includes a first arm ( 20 )
having a first end ( 22 ) with a first pivotal connection ( 24 ) to the vehicle ( 11 ) for actuating
an automotive system and extending to a second end ( 26 ). The assembly ( 10 ) also
comprises a second arm ( 30 ) having third ( 32 ) and fourth ( 34 ) ends with a pad ( 36 )
supported on the fourth end ( 34 ). The invention is characterized by a rebound mechanism
( 40,140 ) connecting the second end ( 30 ) to the third end ( 32 ) at a second pivotal
connection ( 42 ) for pivoting the arms ( 20,30 ) in unison in a normal position about the first
pivotal connection ( 24 ) under normal loads applied to the pad ( 36 ). Further, the rebound
mechanism ( 40,140 ) allows the second arm ( 30 ) to move relative to the first arm ( 20 )
about the second pivotal connection ( 42 ) in response to a predetermined load greater than
the normal load. The second arm ( 30 ) is permitted to rebound back to the normal
operating range upon the load falling below the predetermined load. A torsion spring
( 150 ) coupled with a friction pad ( 176 ) or a hydraulic, pneumatic, or spring loaded
cylinder ( 50 ) may be used as part of the rebound mechanism.

Abstract: There is described a quadrature amplitude modulator (QAM) which allows
from 6 to 8 independent compressed channels to occupy a 6 MHz bandwidth
while reducing processing power by 33 percent for 8 levels of modulation offered
by 64-QAM and by 25 percent for 16 levels of modulation offered by 256-QAM.
The modulator achieves this efficiency using an improved digital filter architecture
combining the modulation and filtering with post filtering carrier combination. The
modulator (49) is fed with an in-phase (I) data stream (45) and a quadrature-phase
(Q) data stream (47) and performs Nyquist baseband filtering by means of
discrete filter banks (61i, 65i ... 73i), (63q, 67q ... 75q). The output of each filter
bank is mixed with a respective cosine carrier offset (95) or (101) in respective
mixers (79i, 83i ... 91i), (81q, 85q ... 93q) and multiplexed in a multiplexer (107).
A digital to analogue converter 53 transforms the digital IF signal to analogue (55)
for transmission. To increase operational throughput, the speed of operation is
increased by means of look-up tables (LUTS) which store precomputed filter
weighting coefficients. A reduction in the number of multipliers is achieved by
using post filtering carrier combination which similarly reduces the number of MAC
operations performed during filtering. The invention can be construction either as
a FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific
integrated circuit).

Abstract: Around-the-clock accessibility of customer premises equipment interconnected to a
broadband network is enhanced by perpetual mode operation of a broadband network
interface. When the customer premises equipment is in a "powered-down" or "OFF" state,
the perpetual mode portion of the broadband network interface is capable of receiving
incoming data from the broadband network. Further, the perpetual mode portion of the
broadband network interface may extend predetermined outgoing data to the broadband
network. The exchange of data between the perpetual mode portion of the broadband
network interface and the broadband network is accomplished using minimal power supplied
by a wall transformer or battery pack interconnected to the broadband network interface
and used specifically when the customer premises equipment is in an "OFF" state.
Advantageously, the customer premises equipment is able to exchange data with the
broadband network in substantially real time while operating in an energy efficient manner.
Also, perpetual mode operation permits connection of a telephone line that is available even
when the customer premises equipment is powered-down. In accordance with one feature,
the interfact can recognize when it is unable to respond to incoming data and can control
the "powering up" of the customer premises equipment. Advantageously, this arrangement
allows the customer premises equipment to respond to complex requests by powering-up the
customer premises equipment while allowing the customer premise equipment to be
normally powered-down, or to be powered down during off-peak periods.

base number is from 90 - 150;   (h) continuing the passing of gaseous carbon dioxide to a direct base
number of 0 - 75 after the last portion of calcium oxide is added;   (i) removing any distillable solvents to form a final residue; and   (j) filtering the final residue to obtain a substantially solvent-free and
solids-free oil soluble overbased calcium sulfonate; 
with the proviso that calcium oxide is the only substantial source of overbasing
calcium.

Abstract: Printing hints can be efficiently compressed in a
system using hierarchical compression (HVQ) by first using
HVQ to generate compressed codewords, and then adding the
printing hint to the codewords to generate an intermediate
form of codeword, before sending this intermediate form to
a pattern matching lossless compressor for final
compression. Even though the same printing hint may be
applied to a number of codewords, the overall compression
will be affected very little by the addition of the
printing hints since the hints are identical over a large
number of codewords in series.
