Patent EP-0762429-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAN HOUDT JAN
IPC: G11C11/34
Filed: 1996-08-07
Abstract: Fast 5V-only programming of a Flash EEPROM cell or array of such cells is disclosed. Use is made of an enhanced source-side injection mechanism. This concept requires a program gate in the field oxide region which serves to capacitively couple a high voltage to the floating gates. Thus a very high injection current is established during programming. This additional program gate, however, increases the cell area considerably. The present disclosure shows a contactless 5V-only Flash EEPROM array configuration that relies on shared program lines in order to minimize the area overhead that is caused by this program gate. Furthermore, a memory array with shared wordlines is presented which further enhances the density achievable.

object floating point data for  D = 〈V e , V r 〉  is obtained,
where V e  is a unit vector from the object to the eye point,
and V r  is a reflection unit vector from the object. The
vector dot product for D is then obtained using multipliers
and adders. The dot product bits are multiplied by a
constant to generate an index to a first look-up table
containing pre-stored values of log 2  (D). The value of log 2 D
is then multiplied by O e  to generate exponent and fractional
field bits representing O e *log 2 D. These bits are used to
create an index into a second look-up table containing
antilog 2  values, whose output is
 
This value

laminated to form a single body of the optically functioning film
arrangement which is bonded to the outboard-side glass plate and
separate from the inboard-side glass plate so that a layer of the
intermediate film lies between the optically functioning film
arrangement and the inboard-side glass plate. A displaying device is
provided to generate a display light of driving information. A light-polarizing
device is provided to polarize the display light into P-wave.
The display light having the P-wave is to be incident around
Brewster's angle on the inboard-side glass plate and reaches the
light-transmittable reflection layer to be reflected toward the driver
so as to form a display of the driving information.

Abstract: A multiple altitude satellite relay system is
disclosed in which Medium Earth Orbit satellites are
continuously linked with at least one geosynchronous
satellite to provide uninterrupted relaying of messages
and data. The Medium Earth Orbit satellites are
synchronized with the geosynchronous satellites to
produce continuous links. A parameter to achieve the
synchronization involves the positions of the Medium
Earth Orbit satellite relays relative to the positions
of the geosynchronous satellite relays. Another
parameter to achieve synchronization involves the ratio
between the orbital periods of the geosynchronous
satellite relays relative to the orbital periods of the
Medium Earth Orbit satellite relays. These parameters
may be further adjusted to provide continuous links
above the horizon of the earth. An additional satellite
relay system is disclosed in which the high-orbit
satellite need not be in geosynchronous orbit and in
which a high-orbit satellite communicates over a
continuous unbroken link with a low-orbit satellite. A
further satellite relay system is disclosed in which
more than two satellites are arranged at discrete orbit
altitudes, again providing a continuous, unbroken daisy-chain
link between satellites.

Abstract: Usually, a voice-operated control system for the
remote control of electronic entertainment appliances is
composed of a microphone, a signal processing means, a
voice detector and a system manager for controlling the
system. The voice-detection means itself is based on a
pattern detection by means of which each spoken command
is compared with stored information. In this context,
there is the problem that the voice detectors do not
unambiguously detect the patterns and as a result do not
have the necessary immunity to interference if there is
acoustic interference, in particular as a result of sound
playback of the appliance. The commands then have to be
uttered repeatedly until they are detected. In the case
of very severe interference, voice-operated control may
then even be completely impossible. According to the
invention, the immunity to acoustic interference is
improved in that a sound-compensation unit is provided in
which the audio signals emitted by the appliance are
estimated at the location of the microphone or the
microphones by modelling the transmission paths in the
space between the loudspeakers and the microphones, and
are used to correct the microphone signal.

Abstract: A universal refiner plate assembly and a method of mounting the
same within a disk refiner, such as a double disk refiner, a multiple disk
refiner, or a counter-rotating disk refiner is described. When refiner
plates of different manufacturers are of similar diameters, a universal
plate mounting mechanism is possible. One refiner plate will fit in all
types of refiners made by various manufacturers. A customized subplate
will mount into a disk refiner directly to a rotor or stator as needed. A
universal refiner plate will attach to the subplate. As a result, a refiner
plate manufacturer will be able to make one refiner plate pattern to be
used in various disk refiners of the same diameter. A refiner plate with
finer bars and grooves is possible because the size of a refiner plate is
reduced. The universal refiner plate and the customized subplate will
eliminate the single one-piece fabricated plate currently used in multiple
disk refiners. Thus, multiple disk refiners will now be able to recognize
the benefits obtained by using segmented refiner plates.

Abstract: An image tracker (10) that tracks an object (16) targeted for
engagement by a laser weapon (12). The tracker (10) includes
receiver optics (31) that receive radiation (30) from both a
detected target (16) and a laser beam (14) incident thereon, and a
polarizing beam splitter (44) that splits the radiation into a
first beam of reflected laser radiation (46) and a second beam of
detected target radiation (47). The polarizing beam splitter (44)
reflects the first beam of reflected laser radiation (46) in a
first direction for imaging purposes and linearly polarizes the
second beam of detected target radiation (47). A beam polarizer
(60) circularly polarizes the second beam of detected target
radiation. A micromirror array (66) reflects the circularly
polarized detected target radiation back through the beam
polarizer (60) to linearly polarize the second beam of detected
target radiation (47). Tracker electronics (33) adjust the
reflectivity of the micromirror array (66) to ensure that the
radiation incident on the array is at or below a predetermined
irradiance threshold level. Therefore, the reflected laser
radiation does not affect the imaging of the targeted object. The
linearly polarized detected target radiation beam is then
reflected by the beam splitter (44) in a second direction for
imaging purposes. The tracker of the present invention enhances
the probability of a target kill, as the actual laser beam hit
spot (20) on the target is tracked relative to the target
position.
