Inventor: DELONG RAYMOND K
IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: An optical communication terminal (100) is disclosed that
includes a transmit path (104) along which optical transmit
energy (148) passes and a receive path (106) along which
received optical energy (146) passes. In addition, a shared
path (108) exists in the optical communication terminal (100)
along which both the received optical energy (146) and the
optical transmit energy (148) pass. The terminal (100)
includes a telescope (102) with a housing, a primary mirror
(136) and a secondary mirror (138). An annular mirror (110) is
positioned along the transmit path (104) and along the receive
path (106). The annular mirror (110) passes the optical
transmit energy (148) from the transmit path (104) into the
shared path (108) and also passes the received optical energy
(146) from the shared path (108) into the receive path (106).
The optical communication terminal (100) may also include a
beacon transmitter (150) that emits a beacon beam (152) used
for acquisition. A CCD detector (140) may then be provided to
detect the beacon beam (152). Preferably, the secondary mirror
(138) is a dichroic lens that reflects optical energy at the
wavelength of the receive beam (144) and that passes optical
energy at the wavelength of the beacon beam (152). The CCD 
(140) may then be placed behind the secondary mirror (138) to
detect the beacon beam (152).

Abstract: An acoustic droplet emitter with a liquid level
control plate (42) having a lip in intimate contact with
the free surface (18) of a liquid (14) is constructed.
The liquid level control plate (42) also has an effective
aperture diameter (A w ) at the exit edge of the plate which
is larger than the effective aperture diameter at the lip.
This reduces the pressure sensitivity of the free surface
of the liquid and allows for the free surface of the liquid
to be effectively pinned at the bottom surface of liquid
level control plate for wider variations in pressure than
using conventional methods.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le traitement au plasma destiné à fabriquer des émetteurs carbonés d'électrons à effet de champ. On génère dans une chambre fermée un plasma d'ions que l'on utilise pour envelopper la surface exposée d'un matériau carboné. On applique ensuite une tension à une électrode qui est en contact avec ledit matériau carboné. Cette tension possède un potentiel négatif par rapport à une deuxième électrode dans la chambre et sert à accélérer les ions dans leur course vers le matériau carboné ainsi qu'à fournir une énergie d'ions suffisante pour mordre la surface exposée du matériau carboné mais insuffisante pour causer l'implantation des ions dans le matériau carboné. De préférence, les ions utilisés sont ceux d'un gaz inerte auquel on a ajouté une petite quantité d'azote.

Abstract: A bridge for a multi-processor system includes bus interfaces for connection to an I/O bus of a first processing set, an I/O bus of a second processing set and a device bus. A bridge control mechanism is operable to compare address and data phases of I/O accesses by the first and second processing sets. A direct memory access mechanism is operable to initiate a direct memory access operation to read from a corresponding location in each processor set into a respective dissimilar data register associated with each processing set. The bridge control mechanism is operable during the direct memory access operation to disregard differences in the data phase for the dissimilar data write access. As a result it is possible to transfer dissimilar data from the processors into the bridge in a combined (lockstep comparison) mode. In a subsequent phase the bridge control mechanism responds to a read destination address supplied in common by the first and second processing sets for a dissimilar data read access to supply data read from a determined one of the dissimilar data registers to the first and second processing sets. In this manner the data from one processing set can be copied to the other processing set while in a combined mode.
