Patent EP-1160975-A3 (EP)
Inventor: EDMONSON PETER J
IPC: H03H9/00
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: SAW devices such as interdigital transducers (IDTs) have been widely used in RADAR applications and as filters. An IDT produces a SAW when excited by a single electrical pulse and can be fabricated to embody a code, which code provides for a passive autocorrelation of a SAW input to the IDT and thereby lends itself to further application as a signal generator in a communication device. However, internal dimensions of IDTs are inversely proportional to operating frequency, such that high frequency IDTs present significant manufacturing difficulties. Fabrication of IDTs for high frequency applications is simplified by exploiting a harmonic frequency SAW generated by IDTs. An IDT may therefore be designed according to fundamental frequency internal dimension criteria but can operate at a multiple of the fundamental frequency, thereby providing much higher frequency operation than conventional SAW systems. A communication system based on SAW harmonic techniques would be low-cost, low-power, small and simple alternative to known short range communications schemes, including for example the BIuetooth TM  solution. Operation of a second harmonic SAW system at 2.4 GHz based on a fundamental frequency of 1.2 GHz is contemplated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Optic switches manipulate an optical signal that has been
expanded by a collimating lens. Switching is effected by
introducing a prism between collimating lenses to
redirect the optical signal to an alternative lens. The
prism preferably has a cross-section defining a
parallelogram, so that the optical signal is reflected
twice within the prism to minimize cross-sectional
distortion and avoid spectral effects. A circuit provides
feedback on the actual position of the relay and prism
for fault detection and diagnosis.

Abstract: An electronic throttle control system is described
where a throttle position sensor has multiple slopes
depending on the operating region. At low throttle
positions, a greater slope, and thus a greater sensitivity
is provided, thereby increasing control resolution. At
greater throttle positions, a lower slope, and thus lower
sensitivity is provided. In this way, an output signal that
varies across the entire operating region of the throttle is
provided for monitoring and control, while improved
performance at low throttle angles can be simultaneously
achieved. A method for learning a transition region is also
described.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for a safe has an engagement element (302) movable from a disengaged position to an engageable position thereof. When the engagement element (302) is put in its engageable position, a manual force moves the engagement element (302) to drive a lock-bolt (212) to an unlocking position. According to the invention, the engagement element (302) is connected to an electric motor (300) having two magnetic detents, corresponding to the disengaged and engageable positions. The required electrical power is generated solely during the course of the user inputting a code to put the engagement element (302) into its engageable position. Once the engagement is obtained, the movement of the lock-bolt (212) to its unlocking position is obtained strictly manually. A subsequent unlocking requires the provision of a correct code.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an HBT transistor with extremely
high speed and low operating current. The transistor has a small
base area and a small emitter area with most of the emitter area
contacted with metal, most of the base area, outside of the
emitter, contacted with metal and a collector ohmic metal placed
close to the device emitter and the base ohmic metal. To achieve
this, the method includes partially undercutting the base ohmic
metal along all external edges to reduce the device's parasitic
base-collector capacitance. In order to provide metal step
coverage, the undercut of the base ohmic metal can be covered
with a sloped edge polymer. In addition, a Schottky diode can be
fabricated within the process steps used to form the HBT
transistor without additional process steps being needed to build
the Schottky diode.

Abstract: The electric power steering mechanism restricts a drive
power supplied to a motor to less than a predetermined value
if it detects a period of more than 200mS in which the condition
(2) that there is no change in the rotation angle of the rotation
angle sensor and the condition (1) that the steering torque is
over 7Nm are satisfied at the same time. Consequently, torque
generated by the motor is reduced, so that if end contact state
is present, a rack shaft is returned in an opposite direction
to the rack end by a reaction of a tire and as a result, a steering
shaft is rotated, thereby the motor and the rotation angle sensor
being rotated. That is, it is detected that the end contact
state is present if there is a change in the rotation angle (Yes
in (4) due to decrease in the drive power and that the motor
remains stopped due to other reason if there is no change in
the rotation angle (No in (4)).

Abstract: The present inventors have discovered that humans have a gene that encodes a novel
protein of the thymosin β family. This novel protein, herein referred to as thymosin β15,
has the ability to bind and sequester G-actin, like other members of the thymosin β family,
but unlike what is known about other members also directly regulates cell motility in
prostatic carcinoma cells. A cDNA of the human thymosin β15 gene (SEQ ID NO: 1) and
having deduced the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2) was isolated. The present
inventors have shown that the enhanced transcripts (mRNA) and expression of the
thymosin β15 gene in non-testicular cells has a high correlation to disease state in a number
of cancers, such as prostate, lung, melanoma and breast cancer, particularly metastatic
cancers. Accordingly, discovering enhanced levels of transcript or gene product in
non-testicular tissues can be used in not only a diagnostic manner, but a prognostic manner
for particular cancers.
