Abstract: An optical disk recording apparatus operates on an
optical disk having circular tracks which are provisionally
written with an index signal used for securing a constant
linear velocity of the optical disk from an innermost
circular track to an outermost circular track, and records
data along the circular tracks at different linear densities
on different annular zones of the optical disk. In the
apparatus, a disk drive section rotates the optical disk
while synchronizing the index signal successively read from
the rotated optical disk with a predetermined reference clock
signal to thereby maintain the constant linear velocity of
the circular tracks. A clock generating section multiples or
divides the reference clock signal by different rates to
generate different writing clock signals in correspondence to
the different annular zones of the optical disk. A data
recording section operates in synchronization to the
different writing clock signals for recording data along the
circular tracks at the different linear densities on the
different annular zones.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly in which conductor pads on a board are used
as contact is described. The conductor pads (34) are alternately disposed on both sides
of a board (10). The conductor pad (34a) transmits a positive differential signal, and the
conductor pad (34b) transmits a negative differential signal; these conductor pads are
disposed on the same side (10a) of the board (10). The ground pad (34c) is disposed on
the opposite side (10b) of the board (10) so that this ground pad (34c) is positioned at an
intermediate point between the conductor pads (34a) and (34b), thus forming one set of
pads. In regard to the conductor pads (34d), (34e) and (34f) of another adjacent set, the
pad (34d) which transmits a positive differential signal is disposed on the side of the
pad (34b) of the previous set, which transmits the same negative differential signal. The
ground pad (34f) of this set is disposed on the opposite side of the board (10) from the
pads (34d) and (34e). The pad of a third set (not shown) which is adjacent to the pad
(34e) that transmits a positive differential signal is a pad that transmits the same positive
differential signal. As a result, signal crosstalk can be prevented.

Abstract: A method for programming an array having a multiplicity of memory cells. The method includes, per cell to be programmed, verifying a programmed or non-programmed state of the cell and flagging those of the cells that verify as non-programmed during one of the verify steps after having previously verified as programmed. A programming pulse having a programming level is applied to the non-programmed cells which are not flagged cells. The steps of verifying, flagging and applying are then repeated until all of the cells verify as programmed at least once. Subsequently, a boost pulse having a boost programming level lower than the programming level is applied to the flagged cells.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of stabilizing hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution, such as a circulating water slurry, comprising a peroxide, such as hydrogen peroxide. The aqueous solution may include organic matter. The method comprises adding an aldehyde donor, such as a methylolhydantoin, to the solution (or slurry). The inventors have discovered that aldehyde donors significantly reduce the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase and other peroxide decomposing enzymes, which are often present in recycled paper. As a result, less hydrogen peroxide needs to be added to a solution to effectively bleach organic matter in the solution. Furthermore, aldehyde donors are safe to handle and cost effective. Another embodiment is a method of bleaching recycled papers in a circulating water slurry comprising organic matter. The method comprises adding hydrogen peroxide and an aldehyde donor to the slurry. Yet another embodiment is a method of inhibiting catalase and/or other peroxide decomposing enzymes in an aqueous solution, such as a circulating water slurry, comprising adding an aldehyde donor to the aqueous solution.

L'appareil de l'invention comprend un dispositif convertisseur analogique-numérique (CAN) de base frontal présentant un nombre de bits de base à un débit de données de base et une gamme dynamique sélectionnée à une fréquence d'horloge de base. Un premier circuit est activé pour transposer vers le haut, par un facteur sélectionné, une horloge de référence afin d'obtenir la fréquence d'horloge de base. Un second circuit est activé pour décimer le débit de données de base du dispositif de base et obtenir un débit de données réduit par le facteur sélectionné, de manière à obtenir une fréquence de suréchantillonnage égal au facteur sélectionné. Un circuit final est utilisé pour produire un débit de données de sortie inférieur à la fréquence d'horloge de base par le facteur sélectionné avec la résolution finale. Le procédé permettant d'obtenir ce résultat consiste à utiliser le dispositif de base présentant une gamme dynamique à une fréquence d'horloge de base; à générer la fréquence d'horloge de base par transposition d'une horloge de référence vers le haut par un facteur sélectionné; à décimer le débit de données du dispositif de base de manière à obtenir un débit de données plus lent et atteindre un degré sélectionné de suréchantillonnage; et à produire un débit de données de sortie comme sous-multiple de la fréquence d'horloge de base avec la résolution de sortie sélectionnée à un débit de données plus lent. L'architecture comprend un substrat monolithique sur lequel le convertisseur analogique-numérique (CAN) de base peut générer une gamme dynamique nécessaire pour satisfaire les exigences de performance du convertisseur analogique-numérique final (CAN).
