Title: Trench depletion mosfet
Inventor: AJIT JANARDHANAN S
IPC: H01L29/739
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: A vertical trench power MOS transistor with low on-resistance is obtained by eliminating the inversion region of a conventional structure. In one embodiment, a deep-depletion region is formed between the trench gates 10 to provide forward blocking capability. In another embodiment, forward blocking is achieved by depletion from the trench gates and a junction depletion from a P diffusion 18 between the gates. Both embodiments are preferably fabricated in a cellular geometry. The device may also be provided in a horizontal conduction configuration (Fig. 16) in which the MOS gate is disposed on the upper surface of the semiconductor wafer over the deep-depletion region. <IMAGE>

Title: Radio transmitter utilizing current mode transmit buffer
Inventor: BRUESKE DANIEL E
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: A wideband frilly integrated two-way radio transmitter (100) includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (101) for providing a voltage at a radio frequency. A divider (103) is used reducing the radio frequency (RF) signal from the VCO to an intermediate frequency. A voltage-to-current converter is used for changing the voltage of the intermediate frequency RF signal to an RF current. A transmit buffer is then used for amplifying the RF current supplied by the voltage-to-current converter for amplification by a power amplifier. The fully integrated current mode transmit buffer offers the advantage of amplification over a large bandwidth while providing isolation between the power amplifier and the VCO.

Title: Satellite for mobile communication system having active phased array antenna
Inventor: CHIBA ISAMU
IPC: H04B7/204
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: An artificial satellite has an active phased array antenna to provide cover for a specific service area by means of a plurality of beams (fig. 1). In order to reduce transmission losses that arise when a microwave signal is transmitted between the antenna 2 and satellite body 1b, optical fibre links 7 are provided between the antenna 2 and satellite body 1b and electrical/optical wave convertors 6,8 are used to convert signal for optical transmission. The active phased array antenna may be composed of a plurality of device antennas or sub arrays 2a and comprise an active receive phased array antenna 2 and an active transmit phased array antenna (3,fig.1). In order to minimise transmission loss, that may become large when a large number of beams are formed in the microwave region, each signal from each device antenna 2a is digitised and used by a digital beamformer 12 to form an antenna beam. The arrangements are similar for reception and transmission (fig.7). The satellite orbit may be a stationary orbit or a substantially stationary orbit that is eccentric and inclined with respect to the equator (fig.2) and the active phased array antenna may be deployed once the satellite is in orbit. A receive only satellite (1a) and a transmit only satellite (1c) may be provided with a radio or wire communication link between them (see fig. 8). These two satellites may be docked with each other to function as a single transmit/receive satellite, once in orbit (fig.9).

Title: Electric discharge lamp
Inventor: MOCHIDUKI KUNIMASA
IPC: H01J61/36
Filed: 1998-12-01
Abstract: An electric discharge lamp comprises; an arc tube (10), an insulating plug (30) which supports the arc tube and a metal lead support (36) which serves to supply electric power to the arc tube as well as support it. The metal lead support is insulated by means of an insulating sleeve (38) and is securely held within the sleeve by virtue of a bend (36A) in the metal lead support. This prevents the metal lead support from vibrating within the insulating sleeve and damaging it. Furthermore the lead support insertion hole (35b) is eccentric to the insulating sleeve insertion hole (35a) so that when the metal lead support is inserted into the lead support insertion hole it presses the insulating sleeve firmly against the insulating sleeve insertion hole's side wall, thus securing the insulating sleeve within the insulating sleeve hole. All of this allows the insulating sleeve (38) to be made with a greater tolerance.

Title: Valve for a fuel injector
Inventor: GARLAND PAUL FRANCIS
IPC: F02M59/46
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: A valve comprises member 18 slidable within a bore and including abutment 30 which is frusto-conical arranged to cooperate with a seating surface 20 of frusto-conical form. The seating surface is of smaller cone angle than the abutment surface. Preferably the difference in the cone angles is between 1{ and 2{. Member 18 preferably has a sleeve 31 secured to it by a split ring 32 or by a circlip, welding or a screw thread.
