Patent EP-1391985-A3 (EP)
Inventor: GUPTA SANDEEP K
IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2003-08-25
Abstract: A CMOS gain stage includes biasing circuitry configured to insure
saturation of a subsequent stage without a source follower circuit. The CMOS
gain stage is optionally powered by a supply voltage that is greater than a
permitted supply voltage for a processes technology that is used to fabricate
the CMOS gain stage. In order to protect CMOS devices within the CMOS
gain stage, optional drain-to-bulk junction punch-through protection circuitry
is disclosed. A variety of optional features can be implemented alone and/or
in various combinations of one another. Optional features include process-voltage-temperature
("PVT") variation protection circuitry, which renders a
gain relatively independent of process, voltage, and/or temperature variations.
Optional features further include bandwidth enhancement circuitry.

Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: In a paper recycling process suspended (S) cellular material is recovered in a series of selective floatation stages (1, 2) from which rejected material (R1, R2) is removed. The quantity of material rejected from the first stage is pre-set to be 3-5% less (D) than the maximum possible. The quantity of material rejected from the second stage is pre-set to compensate for difference in first-stage reduction. The floatation steps (1, 2) are conducted within one or more stages. Each floatation stage results in a proportion of rejected material (R) and a portion of recovered material (A). Each floatation stage takes place within a series arrangement of floatation cells if present. The paper fibre suspension is subject to further dispersal between floatation stages (1, 2) with a consistency of between 15 and 35% which is further treated with chemical bleach.

Abstract: An optical memory[10] having an input port[12] for receiving an input optical signal
to be stored in the optical memory is disclosed. A portion of the optical signal is coupled to a
storage loop[13] for storing optical signals by a coupler that transfers a portion of the input
optical signal to the storage loop. An optical signal stored in the storage loop is output by
coupling a portion of that optical signal to a first external optical waveguide[17]. The storage
loop includes a semiconductor optical amplifier[ 15] for amplifying the signals stored in the
storage loop to compensate for losses incurred by those signals in traversing the storage loop.
A plurality of such optical memories[301, 302, 303] can be combined to form a larger
memory[300] that includes a reconditioning circuit[310] that resets the amplitude of the
optical signals to a value that depends on the amplitude of the optical signals.

IPC: G04G19/02

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is comprised of a generator
11 in which a voltage is changed as time elapses, a booster
circuit 12 for boosting an output voltage of the generator
11, and an oscillator circuit 13 that drives the booster
circuit 12. When the voltage of the generator 11 changes
as time elapses so that the voltage exceeds the minimum
driving voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the
oscillator circuit 13 obtains power for starting
oscillation from the generator 11. The oscillator circuit'
13 that has started oscillation drives the booster circuit
12 to thereby boost the output voltage generated by the
generator 11. Since the oscillator circuit 13 after
starting oscillation continuously performs oscillation
using the power boosted by the booster circuit 12, even
if the voltage of the generator 11 changes as time elapses
so that the voltage becomes lower than the minimum driving
voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the voltage can be
boosted to the minimum driving voltage of the oscillator
circuit 13 or higher.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recognizing and searching for a face using 2nd-order
independent component analysis (ICA) are provided. The method includes
performing principal component analysis (PCA) on an input original image and
generating a low-pass filtered image by removing high-frequency component from
the original image, subtracting the low-pass filtered image from the original image
and obtaining a residual image having only high-frequency components, and
performing ICA on the residual image and generating feature information
corresponding to the original image. 
     While an original ICA subtracts independent components (i.e., independent
basis components) from gray scale images, the proposed 2nd-order ICA is robust to
illumination variation since it is applied to make the remaining images correspond to
high pass frequency components.

Abstract: A thermal switch (10) selectively couples a heat source to a pair of heat sinks. The thermal switch includes a shunt (12) that is thermally coupled to the heat source. The shunt has a pair of posts (14, 16). End portions of the posts are at least partially radially surrounded by respective cups (20, 22). The cups in turn are thermally coupled to respective of the heat sinks. The cups are made of a material with a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than the material of the posts. Activation of one of the heat sinks causes the cup corresponding to that heat sink to contract, bringing it into contact with the corresponding post of the shunt. This opens a heat path through the switch from the heat source to the activated heat sink. Thermal isolation of the second cup is facilitated by an axial isolator of high thermal impedance.
