Abstract: At least one microbeam situated on a substrate, having a resonant frequency dependent on the strain on the microbeam which may be affected by the bending of the substrate. The beam or beams have sense and drive electrodes proximate to the beam or beams and form capacitors with a beam being the other electrode. The capacitance varies as the beam moves in vibration. The sense electrode is connected to an input of a transistor, such as the gate or base, and the drive electrode is connected to an output of the transistor. The transistor has a load impedance with a capacitive component to aid in the sustaining of vibration of the beam at a resonant frequency. A high ohm resistor is connected between the gate and the drain of the transistor to appropriately bias the gate. The bending of the substrate may be caused by a magnitude of a physical stimulus being measured. However, the bending of the substrate is not utilized nor desired in the filter and temperature sensing configurations of the invention. The frequency of resonance is an indication of the magnitude of the physical parameter. Variants of the sensor may be implemented with different placements of the sense and drive electrodes, and additional electronics as needed to implement the various configurations and microbeam geometry. Additional sense and/or drive electrodes and beams also may be incorporated in the transistor resonant microbeam sensor.

Abstract: Information with local relevance is diffused locally using mobile devices equipped with
non-wired short-range communication means, the information being propagated from an
originating point in messages passed from device to device in an unstructured way. The
devices implement measures for limiting message propagation. For a device that is
arranged to propagate a received message multiple times, these measures include
increasing (75) the interval between retransmissions in dependence on how many times the
same message has been received by the device either in total or during a recent period.

Abstract: A video signal conversion part of a horizontal deflection
circuit deletes a prescribed number of horizontal scanning
lines from a vertical blanking interval of an input video signal
and assigns a time corresponding to the deleted horizontal
scanning lines to horizontal blanking intervals of the
remaining horizontal scanning lines thereby extending the
horizontal blanking interval of each horizontal scanning line
and outputting a video signal. A synchronizing signal
separation circuit extracts a horizontal synchronizing signal
and a vertical synchronizing signal from the video signal
output from the video signal conversion part. An output part
of the horizontal deflection circuit supplies a sawtooth
horizontal deflection current to a horizontal deflection yoke
in synchronization with the horizontal synchronizing signal
output from the synchronizing signal separation circuit.

Abstract: A rotor for a synchronous motor capable of
increasing output torque and reducing inductance. An
outer periphery of each pole of the rotor in cross
section perpendicular to an axis of the rotor is
defined on the basis of a curve of a hyperbolic
function (10). Since an outer periphery of one pole of
the rotor at a central apex portion (a) is
substantially identical with that of a conventional
rotor defined by a circular arc (11), the output torque
of the synchronous motor using this rotor is not
decreased. At side portions (b) adjacent to the
central apex portion (a), the outer periphery of the
rotor pole is positioned inwardly, i.e. closer to the
axis (0) of the rotor than the outer periphery defined
by the circular arc (11), so that a gap between the
outer periphery of the rotor pole and an inner
periphery of a stator is made greater at the side
portions (b) to reduce the inductance of the
synchronous motor.

Abstract: An interface circuit for allowing a computer system to communicate over existing household wiring in multiple frequency bands. The interface circuit includes an isolation circuit that connects the interface circuit to the household wiring. An analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter receives analog signals in multiple frequency bands and digitizes them. A digital splitter/combiner operates to filter the combined frequency digital signals received from the analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter. The frequency bands preferably comprise a voice band typically used for transmitting voice telephone signals, a DSL band for transmitting and receiving high-speed digital data over a twisted pair of telephone wires, and a Home PNA frequency band used for networking computers and peripherals on a twisted pair of telephone wires. The digital splitter/combiner feeds circuits designed to transmit and receive data in each of these frequency bands so that the computer system can transmit and receive data on whatever band is available.

Lesdits matériaux constituent en outre un excellent utilitaire de couche de libération. Plusieurs applications montrent également comment utiliser l'approche pour former uniquement des cavités, des canaux, des entrefers et des structures connexes à l'intérieur de divers substrats ou sur ces derniers. Enfin, il est également possible et intéressant de combiner les programmes relatifs à la formation de cavités à celui concernant la séparation de laminé.

Abstract: A network switch includes at least one port processor and at least one switch element. The port processor has an SONET OC -x  interface (for TDM traffic), a UTOPIA interface (for ATM and packet traffic), and an interface to the switch element. In one embodiment, the port processor has a total I/O bandwidth equivalent to an OC-48, and the switch element has 12x12 ports for a total bandwidth of 30 Gbps. A typical switch includes multiple port processors and switch elements. A data frame of 9 rows by 1700 slots is used to transport ATM, TDM, and Packet data from a port processor through one or more switch elements to the same or another port processor. Each frame is transmitted in 125 microseconds; each row in 13.89 microseconds. Each slot includes a 4-bit tag plus a 4-bnyte payload. The slot bandwidth is 2.592 Mbps which is large enough to carry an E-1 signal with overhead. The 4-bit tag is a cross connect pointer which is set up when a TDM connection is provisioned. The last twenty slots of the frame are reserved for link overhead. Thus, the frame is capable of carrying the equivalent of 1,680 E-1 TDM signals. For ATM and packet data, a PDU (protocol data unit) of 16 slots is defined for a 64-byte payload. The PDUs are self-routed through the switch with a 28-bit routing tag which allows routing through seven switch stages using 4-bits per stage. Bandwidth is arbitrated among ATM and Packet connections while maintaining TDM timing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining pressure index in a game. The game takes place in a sports field provided with at least one goal. The game also comprises at least two teams and at least one game tool. Each team consists of at least one player. The method also uses means for determining the positions of players and game tool. The proposed method is characterised in that the determination of positions is transmitted to a computer, following which the pressure index on each player (X1) in control of the game tool is calculated by computer as the sum of pressure from at least one opponent (M1); and wherein is included at least one function of distance and time between at least one opponent (M1) and the player (X1), wherein the time constitutes at least the time during which the player (X1) is in possession of the game tool. Hereby a quantifiable and unambiguous measure of the pressure index on a player (X1) is obtained by a method that is independent of a human discretion by an expert, ie an  objective and reproducible method.
