Abstract: An integrated circuit using high-performance bipolar and CMOS transistor elements on a single chip is fabricated by a simplified process requiring minimal, if any, changes in the process used for forming either type of device in accordance with a variety of possible device designs. The method according to the invention makes maximal use of self-aligned and self-masking processes to reduce the number of processing steps. The number of processing steps is further reduced by performing some steps concurrently on different device types. Further, the masking steps which are employed are reasonably misregistration tolerant, resulting in high manufacturing yield for the process. Consequently, the process according to the invention substantially eliminates the existence of trade-offs between element performance, integration density and process complexity and cost when plural technologies are integrated on the same chip.

Abstract: A track traverse detecting circuit (4) for generating a count-out signal with precision in addressing high-speed traverse operations appropriately. The circuit includes a tracking zero cross (TZC) signal generating circuit (33), two delay circuits (37, 38), an edge detecting circuit (34) and a mirror signal generating circuit (32). The TZC signal generating circuit (33) generates a TZC signal at the zero cross timing of a tracking error signal. The TZC signal is then delayed by one of the two delay circuits (37, 38) by an appropriate time in accordance with the traverse speed for access to a desired track. Edges of the delayed TZC signal are detected by the edge detecting circuit (34). A mirror signal output by the mirror signal generating circuit (32) is sampled at the timing of the detected TZC signal edges. The output of the sampling is provided accurately as the count-out signal.

Abstract: An alarm call point comprises a housing 4 and having a pivotably mounted window 6 for operation of the device. The window 6 carries a conductive track l0 along one edge which is in electrical contact with a pair of resilient contact members l2 when the call point is in the unoperated condition. 
     When the call point is activated the contact between the track l0 and contact members l2 is broken, activating the alarm. The contact members l2 are shaped to provide a tactile feel to the operation of the device and may allow a limited degree of movement to the window in the operated condition to provide a continued indication of the the device having been operated. 
     The call point enables a microswitch usually incorporated in such devices to be obviated and enables the device to be tested by actual operation rather than by a simulation technique.

Abstract: In an apparatus for the preparation of hot beverages, such as coffee, tea and the like, a heat source (16) heats a boiler (2) whose volume is a fraction of the volume of a fresh water container (1) and into which a rising pipe (7) is immersed from above. The boiler (2) fills with water via a connecting line (3) which is connected between the bottom of the fresh water container (1) and the lid of the boiler (2) and contains a float valve (4) upon which the boiler pressure acts in the closing direction and which blocks the connecting line (3) when the boiler (2) is full. When the boiling temperature is reached, the water flows due to steam pressure from the boiler (2) via the rising pipe (7) completely in one surge into a filter (11). Subsequently, the boiler (2) again fills suddenly with fresh water due to the vacuum occurring in the boiler when cold water flows in, which fresh water is then again heated to the boiling temperature. This operation is repeated several times until the entire quantity of water from the fresh water container (1) has been used up. The preparation of hot beverages thus takes place in a manner comparable to manual brewing of coffee in that hot water is conveyed into the filter (11) in surges at short intervals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a video recorder (1) for the recording and reproduction of picture signals in standard-play modes and long-play modes a reconverted picture colour signal supplied by a frequency-conversion stage (70) is passed through a delay device (84) having a delay of one line period in order to compensate for reproduction-dependent time errors during multi-speed reproduction of a long-play recording. In such a video recorder (1) a rectangular detection signal of half the line frequency is supplied to an output (76) of a phase detection stage (73) which detects the phase of the burst signal in the reconverted picture colour signal, which detection signal is applied,  via  a connection (91), to a modulator (36) for the modulation of non-modulated character signals as a control signal (S2) for the modulator (36), which generates modulated character signals suitable for insertion into the reproduced picture signals. The connection (91) includes a switching device (93) which enables a further delay device (94) having a delay of one line period to be included in the connection (91) in the case of multi-speed reproduction of a long-play recording by the video recorder (1), as a result of which the control signal (S2) is delayed by the same time as the picture colour signal during such a reproduction mode, which ensures that the picture colour signal and the character colour signal always remain locked to each other in the same way in all the modes of operation.
