Abstract: A read/write memory, such as a static random access memory, is disclosed in which equilibration of differential data lines, such as bit lines or input/output lines, is performed at the beginning of each cycle. The memory includes a write circuit, for example associated with each sense amplifier, for driving the differential data lines with a data state corresponding to input data during a write operation. The write circuit is controlled by a write enable signal which, in this memory, is interlocked with the equilibration signal. As a result, the write operation is disabled during equilibration of the differential data lines. Since equilibration is maintained during address transitions, the write operation is only enabled during stable address periods, thus eliminating the possibility of a write to the address of a prior or subsequent cycle.

Abstract: A computed tomography imaging system has a source of radiation and a radiation detector that has an exponential impulse response characterized by a plurality of N components with different time constants. The source and the detector are revolved about an object to be imaged and the output of the detector is sampled periodically to acquire a set of radiation attenuation values, with the values for each revolution being designated as a scan. A recursive filter function is applied sequentially to the radiation attenuation values from a given scan to generate a approximated values for variables of the filter function that define residual detector response from the previous scan. A set of filtered attenuation values then is produced by applying the filter function again to the radiation attenuation values from the given scan. The approximated values for variables are used when the filter function is applied to the first radiation attenuation value of the scan. An image is reconstructed from the set of filtered attenuation values.

Abstract: A jaw-like cylindrical tool for producing a strong electromagnetic field for causing a Curie point heater to be energized having a curved cross-section that brings the two edges of the jaw-like structure into contact. Closely spaced conductors lie along the inner surface of the structure transverse to its axis while widely spaced conductors lie transverse to said axis along the outer surface of the structure. The inner surface of the structure has a plurality of axially extending ferrite rods lying immediately adjacent the inner surface conductors. The inner and outer surface conductors are connected so that the currents flow in opposite directions, the outer conductors reducing electromagnetic radiation while the ferrites and inner conductor spacing produce a strong central magnetic field irrespective of the field created by the opposing field produced by the outer conductors. The tool may be manufactured by laying each ferrite rod longitudinally along the flat surface of a D-shaped mandrel with the rods lying side by side transversely. Conductors are wrapped transversely around the curved surface of the mandrel and over the ferrite rods. The rods and conductors are bonded to one another, removed from the mandrel and the resulting structure curved until the longitudinal edges of the structure are in contact with one another.

Abstract: A class IV partial response, maximum likelihood data channel for a disk drive includes an encoder connected to a data sequencer for converting user data blocks into a predetermined 8/9ths code such as a (0,4,4,) code. A precoder (34) converts the 8/9ths code into class IV code. An analog write driver (36) supplies the class IV code to a data transducer head (26) during data write-to-disk operations. A read channel connected to the head amplifies and conditions analog signals during data read operations. A quantizer (46) produces samples of the analog signals in accordance with a quantization clock generated by a clock generator. An adaptive FIR filter means (48) is conditions the data samples in accordance with selectable, adaptive filter coefficients. A Viterbi detector (50) puts out the class IV code from the filtered and quantized samples. A postcoder (52) converts the detected class IV code into detected 8/9ths code. A decoder (32) converts the detected 8/9ths code into user data and supplies user data to the sequencer (19). The programmable FIR filter is provided with servo coefficients during reading of the servo sectors, and an asynchronous servo detector detects head position information from the quantized and filtered samples without phase locking of the quantization clock generator to the quantized servo samples. The asynchronous servo detector is also used to aid detection of sync field preamble information before the FIR filter is fully adapted. Multi-mode gain and timing loops are also a part of the present invention.

Abstract: A mobile unit (105) is signalled to transmit a synchronization pattern with voice information when the signal strength of the wireless mobile unit is detected by a base station (104) to be approaching a minimum threshold. Where the voice information is initially being transmitted in a set of frequency hopping channels using spread spectrum transmission, the synchronization pattern is transmitted in one or more of the set of frequency hopping channels. In addition, the base station (104) alerts a system controller (101) to this fact, and the system controller requests that neighboring base stations (102,103) monitor the set of frequency hopping channels being transmitted by the mobile unit (105). In order to synchronize to the mobile unit, the base stations (102,103) use the synchronization pattern to come into synchronization with the mobile unit. The system controller transfers the wireless mobile unit to the base station which is receiving the strongest signal strength.

Abstract: 5 n7 An apparatus and method for providing proper electrical contact between corresponding interconnect pads (61, 85) of a print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) and a print carriage (30) are disclosed. One end (91) of a flexible insulating tape (87) including interconnect pads (85) of the print carriage (30) is attached to one side of the print carriage (30) while the other end (92) of the flexible insulating tape (87) may be substantially free or attached to an opposing side of the print carriage (30). 
     When the print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) is initially inserted into the print carriage (30), a gimbal spring (106) causes the flexible insulating tape interconnect pads (85) to preliminarily come in contact with the print cartridge interconnect pads (61) before the print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) is completely inserted. As the print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) is further inserted, the print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) pushes out any excess slack in the flexible insulating tape (87) while providing a wiping action between the interconnect pads (61, 85) of the print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) and the print carriage (30). This wiping action between the interconnect pads (61, 85) scrapes away any contaminants and corrosion, thus ensuring reliable electrical contact.
