Patent EP-1008238-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JACKEL JANET
IPC: H04B10/17

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé de réglage du gain d'un amplificateur à fibre dopée à l'erbium (EDFA) incorporé à un système de télécommunications sur plusieurs longeurs d'onde et servant à amplifier chacun des signaux correspondant à une longueur d'onde. Ledit amplificateur fonctionne près de la saturation si bien que si un ou plusieurs des signaux disparaît de la saturation, les canaux restants sont amplifiés plus fortement, ce qui conduit à des problèmes avec d'autres composants du système qui dépendent de l'intensité. Selon l'invention, un signal optique d'une longueur d'onde ne se trouvant pas parmi les canaux de transmission est rétroinjecté sélectivement en amont de l'amplificateur et amené à repasser dans une configuration de laser annulaire à filtrage de longueur d'onde. Le signal amplifié agit sur la saturation de l'amplificateur de manière à ce que tout gain abandonné par un signal de données disparu soit réutilisé principalement par le signal amplifié et non par les signaux de données restants. De ce fait, les signaux de données ne subissent pas de variations de gain dépendant du nombre de signaux de données amplifiés. Dans une chaîne d'amplificateurs placés sur une liaison longue, la longueur d'onde du signal à amplifier est choisie pour se situer à l'intérieur de la bande plate de gain de l'amplificateur et ressort de l'amplificateur égalisée avec la même intensité que tous les signaux transmis à l'amplificateur suivant. Ainsi, seul le premier amplificateur doit être égalisé.

Abstract: In a selective process to identify gases in the near infra-red range, and to measure their concentration by narrow-band light absorption, the novelty is that the process consists of the following steps: (a) a distributed feed back (DFB) laser diode transmits near infra-red light along a measuring distance, which impinges on a photo-detector cell (2); (b) the DFB laser diode (1) is operated above room temperature and above 40 degrees C; (c) one or more spectral lines of the gas in question are selected, the laser diode (1) being of a corresponding wavelength; (d) during spectral measurements, the laser diode temperature is adjusted, such that the spectral line to be identified is checked against the emission wavelength-dependent operating temperature; (e) the level and difference in absorption within the range of the spectral line, is evaluated to detect and ascertain the gas concentration. Also claimed is a suitable gas sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure is a method for in situ
monitoring of backside contamination on a
semiconductor wafer (120) between processing steps
which are performed in a multi-chamber tool (500). In a
first form, a laser source (220) and a detector (210)
are mounted on a robotic arm (110, 111), or within a
semiconductor processing tool (500). The laser (220)
and detector (210) move along with the robotic arm
(110) as the robotic arm (110) shuffles the wafer (120)
between processing carriers (610-650) and chambers
(510-540). While in transit the backside of the
semiconductor wafer (120) is scanned by a laser beam
(221), whereby contamination is detected by a
detector (210). The laser (220) and detector (210)
then scan the backside of the wafer (120) while the
robotic arm (110) is in transit and/or while the robotic
arm (110) is stationary in the processing sequence.
The absolute particle count and
differential/incremental particulate counts are
calculated on a chamber-by-chamber, and wafer-by-wafer
basis, using a data processor (230).

Abstract: A test sample card is provided with a locking feature for achieving a positive, locking engagement with a transfer tube that conducts fluid into the interior of the test sample card. The locking feature consists of a tubular channel inwardly disposed from the fluid intake port that has an inner annular rim defining a restriction. The annular rim is of a reduced diameter relative to the diameter of the transfer tube. A recessed region is positioned inwardly from the restriction that has an opening in one of the surfaces of the card body. When the transfer tube is inserted into the tubular channel, the first end is forced past the restriction into the recessed region, with the annular rim compressing the transfer tube. The user is able to sense with their hands when the first end is inserted past the restriction. Visual observation of the first end of the transfer tube through the opening in the card surface confirms that the transfer tube has been properly inserted into the test sample card.

IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1998-06-17
Abstract: A phase change overwrite system that reduces the phase change material flow
which results from the repeated overwrites of the same data on media (53).
One of two techniques can be used to solve the overwrite degradation problem.
The first is to exploit the fact that a given data sequence can be represented by
multiple bit patterns. This choice in bit patterns is primarily for use in reducing
the low frequency content of the bit pattern. However, some of the choice
available may be used for other purposes, such as ensuring the same bit
pattem is not always used. The second technique is to vary the point in the bit
pattern at which writing begins. This is possible in a ROM type format because
the new data is written in exactly the same location as the hold data.
Therefore, if the old data is exactly the same as the new data, it is optional
whether of not to overwrite the old data. Note that typically the header
information for old and new data is the same. Accordingly, this opportunity for
varying the location of where writing begins is available even when the new
user data is completely different from the older data.

Abstract: A microprocessor-based voltage regulator for an alternator reduces
battery drain by removing current from the field coil during times when the
alternator is not rotating, as indicated by an AC Sense signal responsive to
one of the windings of the alternator prior to rectification. The field coil switch
is controlled by the microprocessor to one of four duty cycles to provide
effective voltage regulation with a minimum of additional hardware. The
microprocessor generates a warning signal in the event of a non-standard
operating condition such as drifting voltage regulation, disconnected
batteries, or thermal limits that approach shut down.

Abstract: A method is provided for phase unwrapping in coherent imaging systems
which use two complex images to form an interferogram. In the method, the
interferogram of phase differences is divided into a relatively large plurality of transform
blocks, wherein each transform block comprises a matrix of o x p data samples, with o and
p = 2 n  + 1, and n being an integer greater than 2. Further, adjacent transform blocks are
preferably defined to partially overlap. The wrapped phase values of adjacent data samples
within each transform block are then compared and if the difference therebetween exceeds
a predetermined value, the entire block of data samples may be discarded for further use.
Data samples of the retained transform blocks are then unwrapped to obtain phase values via
an unweighted, least-squares technique implemented by Fast Fourier Transform. Using a
known height value corresponding with a single data sample, an integration constant can be
determined for a corresponding first transform block. Path-following may then be used to
determine an integration constant for the other retained transform blocks. The phase values
and integration constants may then be employed to determine height values for the
interferogram. The method yields enhanced accuracy with reduced computational
burden.

Abstract: A less-claustrophobic, quadrature, radio-frequency head coil ( 42 ) includes first and
second broken end rings ( 90, 92 ) connected to each other in parallel by a plurality of
leg conductors ( 94 ). At least two of the leg conductors are interconnected by a third
arcuate conductor segment ( 98 ) axially displaced from planes of the first and second
end rings to provide an opening ( 44 ) over a subject's face. The opening reduces
patient claustrophobia and permits access to the patient for life-support devices or the
practice of interventional medicine. The end rings have a fixed capacitance (C 1 , C 2 )
between each pair of leg conductors, the fixed capacitance C 1  between at least one pair
of leg conductors and the fixed capacitance C 2  between at least the pair of leg
conductors adjacent the opening, where C 2  > C 1 . A two-port feed ( 66, 68 )
circumferentially attached to the coil generally opposite the opening matches the
individual linear modes. Thus, the radio frequency coil is able to maintain two
preferred principal linear modes ( A, B ) across the open area of the coil.
