Abstract: A data processor (21) includes an external bus interface circuit (33) responsive to two internal bus master devices (30, 34) to perform either a fixed or a variable burst access. The data processor (21) activates an external control signal to indicate whether a burst access is a fixed or a variable burst access. The data processor (21) indicates the port size of the accessed memory region by providing a port size signal to the external bus interface circuit (33). The external bus interface circuit (33) is responsive to the port size signal to break up the burst cycle into two or more burst cycles on the external bus (22, 23), if the accessed location corresponds to a memory (24) with a different port size than the internal bus (31).

Abstract: An optical wavelength filter has a polarizer, an analyzer, and an optical waveguide, formed in a substrate displaying an acousto-optic effect, that guides light from the polarizer to the analyzer. A transducer formed on the substrate excites a surface acoustic wave, thus creating an acoustic beam. The amplitude of the surface acoustic wave is small at the two sides of the acoustic beam and larger in the middle. The optical waveguide enters the acoustic beam at a point on one of the two sides of the beam, then moves into the center of the beam, and exits the beam at another point on one of the two sides.

Abstract: A system and method generates a signal (on 132) having a reliable, fixed duration and/or delay as a function of relative, not absolute, device (114,115) characteristics. That is to say, the time period of the generated signal is determined as a ratio of one device's (114) operating characteristics to another device's (115) operating characteristics. In particular, the invention provides a fixed time signal as a function of the relative values of two capacitive elements (114,115) that have a known ratio of capacitance with respect to each other. The invention is particularly useful when implemented upon an integrated circuit, as standard fabrication techniques for such circuits allow relative device characteristics to be held to relatively tight tolerances.

Abstract: A cellular modem pool (405-1 -- 405-N) provides call progress information to a calling party during call setup. In particular, the cellular modem pool includes a coupling means (430-1 -- 430-N), which communicates any signals between the cellular-side of the cellular data connection and the PSTN-side of the cellular data connection during call setup. This allows the calling party to hear the call progress on the called party side of the data call. In addition, the cellular modem pool (405-1 -- 405-N) monitors the signals for a data signal provided by the called party, e.g., a predefined answer tone. Once the answer tone is detected, the cellular modem pool opens the connection provided by the coupling means (430-1 -- 430-N) and processes the respective signals on the cellular-side and the PSTN-side of the cellular modem pool.

Abstract: An electronic ignition timing system which co-operates with an adaptive closed loop fuel control system to provide more rapid heating of an exhaust catalyst by retarding the ignition timing during colds starts only after an index of maturity value has been generated to indicate that fuel control parameters which characterise an individual engine have been adaptively learned and are available to operate the engine with a lean mixture during cold idling conditions. The index of maturity value alters the mode of operation of the fuel control mechanism to provide robust rich operation prior to adaptation and a more aggressive lean mode operation after the adaptive parameters have been developed which permit optimised operation, and alters the ignition timing to retard the spark to more rapidly heat the exhaust catalyst. A mechanism responsive to the estimated temperature of the catalyst restores the spark advance when the catalyst has been heated, and also restores the spark advance when the throttle is depressed.

Abstract: When a recording density is set to more than 600 by 600 dpi in a hot melt printer, a recording image with excellent quality is obtained when a recording condition is determined to a specific range. For example, a quantity of an ink droplet ejected by the ink jet head is determined so that an ink clinging amount on a unit area of the recording paper is in a range from 7.2 × 10 6  to 2.1 × 10 7  pl/inch 2  when the dots are printed in an overall area of the unit area. This range varies when a pair of pressure rollers are provided for applying a pressure to the recording paper on which the dots are printed. This range also varies when a plate-shaped heating element is provided for heating the printed surface of the recording paper.

Abstract: A catalytic device for cleaning exhaust gases by a metallic catalyst carrier that is installed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine and is contained in a metallic outer cylinder, wherein a structure for absorbing a difference in the thermal expansion between the metallic catalyst carrier and the outer cylinder is realized without causing stress to the metallic catalyst carrier and without requiring strict tolerance in production. A cushioning material made of a heat-resistant wire gauze is arranged between the metallic catalyst carrier and the metallic outer cylinder of the catalytic device, and the cushioning material, metallic carrier and metallic outer cylinder are joined together maintaining electric conduction. The cushioning material is disposed in a compressed state between the metallic catalyst carrier and the outer cylinder, and the cushioning material is joined to the metallic catalyst carrier and to the outer cylinder.

Abstract: The burner has a central fuel lance (1), and contains an air feed (2) with an optional swirler (3), ignition electrodes (4) and facility for flue gas supply (5). The flame is stabilised by a flame tube (6), and a combustion chamber insert (7) provides the return feed of the hot flue gases. Preferably the flue gas feed is carried out via an annular gap in the flame tube. The size of the flue gas fed aperture may be adjusted by a slider on a plate, even during the burner operation, to match optimal combustion. This is typically achieved automatically by temperature sensors or bimetallic strips.
