Abstract: In order for a surface of a three-dimensional sintered object to be smoothly finished by removing unwanted portions and an excessively sintered growth formed during sintering to form sintered layers, the three-dimensional sintered object is formed by repeating successive processes of dispensing a powdery material and directing an optical sintering beam to the powdery material to form the sintered layer, until a required number of integral laminated bodies are formed. During the formation of the integral laminated bodies, trimming is applied to a first zone (AH) different from a second zone (BH) in which each laminated body is formed, to remove unwanted portions of the respective laminated body. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for generating a local oscillator (LO) frequency in a zero intermediate frequency (IF) receiver or transmitter is presented. A signal is received from a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The signal has a VCO frequency. The VCO frequency is divided by a number N to produce a signal having a divided-down frequency. The signal having the VCO frequency is then mixed with the signal having the divided-down frequency to produce an output signal having an output frequency. Local oscillator leakage is reduced. Thus, the receiver or transmitter may operate in multiple wireless communication bands and modes and meet the associated specifications.

Abstract: A technique for down converting signals from an Intermediate Frequency (IF) input signal to Inphase (I) and Quadrature (Q) signal samples at baseband replaces power-consuming A/D converters and AGC circuits with a low-cost zero-crossing comparator. The comparator converts the IF signal to a hard-limited signal having one value when the IF signal is positive and another value when the IF signal is negative. I and Q samples are generated by performing the equivalent of multiplication of the hard-limited signal by cos(2 pi fo*t) and sin(2 pi fo*t). By sampling the hard-limited signal at a rate that is an integer multiple of the intermediate frequency and an even number greater than or equal to four, multiplication by cos(2 pi fo*t) and sin(2 pi fo*t) required to generate I and Q baseband signal components is greatly reduced. The I and Q samples are summed (or integrated) by binary up/down counters over one bit duration and then dumped. The dumped counter outputs are estimates of the lowpass filtered I and Q signal components. <IMAGE>
