Abstract: Structure à couches épaisses et coupleur en quadrature utilisés pour fabriquer des dispositifs tels que des modulateurs IQ, des démodulateurs IQ, des modulateurs de vecteurs, des mélangeurs de rejet d'image et des mélangeurs multivoie. La structure à couches épaisses comprend une base de substrat diélectrique munie d'un côté arrière métallisé; un premier ruban de métal est déposé sur le côté non métallisé de la base du substrat. Une couche de diélectrique est déposée par-dessus et autour du premier ruban de métal; un deuxième ruban de métal est déposé sur la couche de diélectrique. Les premier et deuxième rubans de métal sont alignés suivant leur largeur et leur longueur de manière à former une structure de ligne de transmission équilibrée où le premier et le deuxième rubans de métal représentent les lignes supérieure et inférieure de ladite structure équilibrée. Cette structure à couches épaisses sert de socle aux condensateurs hyperfréquence, aux mélangeurs et à d'autres structures à base de lignes de transmission, y compris les coupleurs en quadrature. Le coupleur en quadrature qui, à son tour, sert de base à des dispositifs plus complexes, inclut un port d'entrée, un port isolé, un port de sortie en phase (port I) et un port de sortie en phase en quadrature (port Q).

Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus having an edge aligned system always maintains a
nip between an intermittently driven pick roll and a friction or separator pad. When a
top sheet of a stack is being advanced by the pick roll, a first spring exerts a first force
on the friction or separator pad to enable advancement and separation of the top sheet.
When the pick roll is stopped, a second spring exerts a second force substantially
smaller than the first force on the friction or separator pad but sufficient to maintain
the nip between the pick roll and the friction or separator pad to retard

Abstract: In an ink-jet printer, on the basis of the previous, current,
and next drive conditions held in latch circuits 252, 253, and 254,
an output control section 255 switches the current drive waveform
to be supplied to a thermal or piezoelectric
pressure generation device. Therefore, the
vibrating state of a vibrating plate or that of an ink meniscus
can be optimized by the time the next expelling of ink is performed.
Accordingly, there is no need for consumption of time to wait for
the next expelling of ink until the vibration of the vibrating plate
or that of meniscus subsides sufficiently, thus resulting in a
reduction in time intervals between ink expelling operations and
implementing high-speed printing operations.

Abstract: A local area network having a telephone line medium in a home
network environment includes physical layer transceivers having transmit and
receive state machines enabling each network station to determine a link status
on the telephone line medium. The transmit state machine is configured for
transmitting a link packet within a prescribed interval (T), less than a
minimum packet length of a data packet, and having a preamble and a
sufficient number of bytes to allow for transmission. Hence, the link packet
will be detected by the other stations on the network, but will not be
processed, since it is classified as a runt packet by the media access control
layers. The receive state machine monitors the telephone line medium, and if
after a prescribed interval (2T) the station has not detected a valid preamble
from a data packet or a link packet, then the link status indicator for that
station is set to an invalid condition, and subsequently supplied to the station
operating system.

Abstract: A mouth-to-mouth resuscitator device for providing a physical barrier
between a rescuer and a victim. The device comprises a flexible face shield
having an opening formed therein. A tubular housing is sealed to the shield
around the periphery of the opening and includes a rescuer air input end
accessed from one side of the shield, and a victim air output end disposed on
the opposite side of the shield. A self-closing one way valve arrangement
comprising a flexible valve disc is contained in the housing to permit exhaled
air under pressure to flow from the input end to the output end, and to
prevent fluid back flow from the output end to the input end. A plate is
secured in the housing to support the disc and provide a hinge for dividing the
disc into a pair of flaps. A valve seat having a concave shape is provided to
support the valve disc. The valve disc has a convex shape when the valve is
closed. The valve disc is stressed when in the
closed-condition due to the valve seat blocking the valve disc from moving to
its normal flat configuration.
A pair of spaced apart rods are formed on the
valve disc for attaching the valve disc to the support plate.

IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The system uses attenuation of signals to determine location of mobile radio station. The procedure for space-time location of mobile radios includes processing the pulse response of the propagation channel between the mobile radio and the transmitting/receiving station. This is followed by estimation of pairs of data values (of angle and delay) from the pulse response signal for the direct trajectory propagation, and the multi-trajectory propagation arising from reflections from obstacles in the field of propagation between the base station and the mobile radio. For each trajectory the attenuation ( alpha i) is calculated. The distance (d) between the transmitting/receiving station and the mobile station is then determined by use of the attenuation of the direct trajectory signal, and the attenuation of one of the multi-trajectory signals.

Abstract: A process for recovering a polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt obtained by hydrolyzing a polyphosphazene having at least one ester moiety present in at least one substituent group. The polyphosphazene having at least one ester moiety present in at least one substituent group is hydrolyzed with a base in an organic solvent in the presence of water. The water is present in an amount effective to induce the agglomeration of particles of the synthesized polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt, which enhances the separation of the polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt from a polymer-free liquid organic phase. The polymer-free liquid organic phase then is separated from the polyphosphazene acid or acid salt, whereby the polyphosphazene acid or acid salt is recovered.

Abstract: A VGA (or other component video signal) output, e.g. from a computer or DVD player, is protected so it is viewable on a VGA monitor. However, if the component video signal is converted to composite video (e.g. television) the resulting television picture is of substantially degraded quality, thereby inhibiting viewing and/or copying. This protects for instance copyrighted material in the VGA format from unauthorized use. The protection involves modifying the horizontal or vertical synchronization signals in the VGA video in such a way that there is no adverse affect on a typical VGA monitor. However, most or all VGA to television converters and/or television sets and VCR's suffer from loss of synchronization, resulting in an unviewable picture. Also, methods and circuits for defeating the copy protection are provided.
