IPC: C09K3/18
Filed: 1997-08-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a water-repellent glass pane
having a glass substrate and a water-repellent film formed
thereon. This glass pane is prepared by a first or second
method. The first method includes sequential steps of (a)
mixing together a raw material for producing the water-repellent
film, an organic solvent for diluting the raw material,
and water for hydrolyzing the raw material, such that the raw
material is subjected to hydrolysis and then to dehydration and
polycondensation, thereby to turn a mixture of the raw material,
the organic solvent and the water into a sol; (b) adjusting water
content of the sol, thereby to prepare a coating liquid; and (c)
applying the coating liquid to the glass substrate, in an
atmosphere having a first temperature and a relative humidity.
The second method includes sequential steps of: (a) subjecting a
surface of the glass substrate to an abrasive treatment; (b)
subjecting the surface of the glass substrate to an acid
treatment; and (c) applying a coating liquid to the surface of the
glass substrate. The glass pane prepared by the first or second
method is superior in abrasion resistance, sunshine resistance,
hardness, adhesion to the glass substrate, and water-repellency
for a long time.

Abstract: The connection control procedure uses a call number (rn) for calling cordless subscriber communication devices (KE) within a given range (H) of a base station connected to a communications network termination (SO, UKO). The call is diverted to an access network (ACCESS) when the subscriber communication device cannot be reached directly by the base station. The access network establishes a call connection with the subscriber communication device via a mobile call number (mrn) for the device.

Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor light emitting
device whose operating voltage can be easily reduced, a
method of producing the same, and an optical device. An
n-type clad layer, a first guide layer, an active layer, a
second guide layer, a p-type clad layer, a first
semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer of
ZnSe are successively grown on an n-type substrate. An
alkali compound layer of Na 2 Se is then formed thereon.
Subsequently, a heat treatment is performed by means of
irradiation of an excimer laser beam so that at least a
part of the second semiconductor layer and at least a part
of the alkali compound layer are altered thereby forming a
contact layer. Furthermore, a p-side electrode is formed
on the contact layer. The contact layer contains an alkali
metal serving as a p-type impurity so that the contact
layer has a low electric resistance thereby achieving a
reduction in the operating voltage and thus a reduction in
the operating power. As a result of the reduction in the
operating power, the device life is improved.

Abstract: A method for extracting a timing signal produces a data signal from a first portion of
an optical signal, extracts a timing signal from a second portion of the optical signal and adds
dispersion compensation to at least one of the first and second portions of the optical signal
to thereby control the amount of total dispersion in the second portion of the optical signal to
be substantially different from the amount of total dispersion in the first portion of the optical
signal. The timing signal extracting device uses a signal reproduction circuit to produce the
data signal, a signal extraction circuit to extract the timing signal and a chromatic dispersion
control apparatus to add dispersion compensation. The optical signal may be modulated by a
data signal having a bit rate of X bits/second and the extracted timing signal may have a
frequency of X hertz. The signal extraction circuit may be used with a phase locked loop.
Here, a voltage-controlled oscillator generates a clock signal, a phase comparison circuit
compares the phase of the clock signal with the phase of the extracted timing signal and a
control circuit controls the phase comparison circuit, to generate a control voltage for the
voltage-controlled oscillator on the basis of the comparison. The chromatic dispersion
control apparatus may use a variable dispersion compensator together with an optical detector
which detects the intensity of a specific frequency component of the optical signal to
minimize the intensity of the specific frequency component.

Abstract: A step motor controller is disclosed, in which in order to control
the rotor accurately according to the degree of a step-out, if
any, of a step motor (26), the step motor (26) is driven in
accordance with a control signal generated based on the present
position and a target position, the difference between the true
position associated with the actual position of the step motor
(26) and the present position thereof is detected, and the
control signal is corrected in accordance with the difference.
Further, in the case where the step motor (26) used for driving
an intake throttle valve (25) of an internal combustion engine
(11) steps out, the internal combustion engine can be driven
without emitting a smoke, and the criteria for judging a step-out
can be changed in accordance with whether the step-out is to an
opening side or a closing side. For this purpose, upon detection
of a step-out of at least a predetermined degree, the step motor
(26) is controlled to a predetermined high opening position. The
step motor (26) is judged to have stepped out, in the case where
the actual position is displaced to the opening side by at least
a predetermined first value from a target position or in the case
where the actual position is displaced to the closing side by
at least a second predetermined value from a target position.
The first predetermined value is set larger than the second
predetermined value.

Abstract: Static fade in a digital video image is
detected. A difference in luminance intensity is
determined for correspondingly positioned pixels in
successive images. A variance in the difference is
determined, and then normalized according to a mean
squared value of the difference to provide a fade
index J n . The fade index is compared to a fade
threshold, e.g., 0.9, to determine if a fade is
indicated. Optionally, a check may be made to
verify that a static fade is indicated by comparing
the mean squared value of the difference to a motion
threshold. The technique is suitable for both frame
mode and field mode video sequences. When the
digital images include field mode video, where each
image has first and second fields, a fade index is
determined separately for each field, and an overall
fade index is obtained by averaging the fade indexes
from each field. A scheme for detecting static fade
on a macroblock by macroblock basis is also
presented.

Abstract: A method for detecting a flag in connection with random access
in a time divided mobile radio system, for instance, an
FDMA/TDMA system, which includes digital traffic channels and
control channels which are organized so that four traffic
channels (TC) and two control channels (CC) are included in a

channels. According to the invention, different numbers of
binary values are assigned to the different states of one flag.
A state (B) in a flag (B/I) which is particularly senstitive to
errors in the transmission is given a greater number of binary
values than the other state (I), whereby a secure detection of
the flag is achieved.
