IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 1998-02-12
Abstract: The simulation method involves determining an electromagnetic field of an object which includes several sections and several charges and currents. A global multi-pole development which presents the effect of the charges and currents of remote points, and a local multi-pole development which presents the effect of the loads and currents at points within each section are produced in form of a multi-pole development in each of the several sections. The electromagnetic field of the object is determined through a superimposition of the global multi-pole development and the local multi-pole development of the several sections.

Abstract: In a portable apparatus in a digital cellular system
in which transmission and reception is simultaneously
conducted in a particularly wide variable output range,
efficiency is improved in a low-power output operation and
there is minimized the influence upon discontinuous output
waveforms appearing in a gain changing operation. There are
included a distributor to distribute an input signal to two
paths, a first gain control amplifier, a linear power
amplifier, a driver amplifier, a filter, a switching circuit
to turn power of the linear power amplifier on and off, and a
second gain control amplifier. Outputs from the linear power
and gain control amplifiers are mixed with each other by a
mixer. Gains of these amplifiers are separately controlled
by a control circuit, which also controls on and off of the
switching circuit.

Abstract: A dielectric waveguide designed to avoid the influence
of reflection of electromagnetic waves at connected portions
of dielectric strips (1, 2) and to have an improved

Reflected waves are thereby superposed in phase opposition
to each other to cancel out. In this manner, propagation of
a reflected signal to ports is limited.

Abstract: A process and assembly (28) make a high-grade substitute material for garden peat by the physicochemical breakdown of materials containing lignocellulose. It especially uses residual wood from woodworking or forestry operations. The wood particles are exposed to hot water and/or steam at temperatures in the range 90 to 250 degrees C and a pressure of between 2 and 30 bar. The pH of the resulting peat substitute is adjusted to between 3.0 and 6.6 by temperature control. After heat treatment lasting between 5 and 25 minutes, the mass is subject to adiabatic expansion. The wood-based product is converted to fibers in a process requiring little energy, reduced still further by the use of residual materials in a gasification process. The peat-based material is water-soluble and may be used as a biodegradable herbicide, for the cultivation of mushrooms, and for the cultivation of microorganisms.

Abstract: The method involves securing data processor arrangements against unintentional and inadmissible influence from other data networks, with which the data processors are connected over communication services. A filter function is used, to delete all messages, which are recognised as ambiguous with respect to their safety. The data messages delivered over the communication services are filtered in at least two independent observation units connected in series with each other, and preceding the security-related data processor. The messages are encoded in a first observation unit and are decoded again in the second observation unit which follows in the data transfer direction. Test data are formed, at least indirectly, through programs and necessary unchangeable data implemented in both observation units, and are compared with the reference data stored in the observation units and/or test- and/or reference data originating in the partner observation unit. If a test is not successfully completed within a defined crash recognition time, the observation unit which recognised the crash is irreversibly switched off.

Abstract: A method for determining a wafer characteristic,
such as the surface quality of a film formed on the
wafer, using a film thickness monitor is described.
In one embodiment, the method comprises the following
steps. A measured spectrum for a processed wafer is
generated (100). A set of parameters is chosen and
then used to generate a calculated spectrum (101;
103). The measured spectrum is compared to the
calculated spectrum to determine if the two spectra
match (105). If the two spectra do not match or the
degree of nonconformity between the two spectra is
greater than an acceptable error value, then there is
probably a defect with the processed wafer. For
example, the film formed on the wafer may have a
nonuniform or hazy surface quality.

Abstract: A binary arithmetic coder and decoder provides
improved coding accuracy due to improved probability
estimation and adaptation. They also provide improved
decoding speed through a "fast path" design wherein
decoding of a most probable symbol requires few
computational steps. Coded data represents data that is
populated by more probable symbols ("MPS") and less
probable symbols ("LPS"). In an embodiment, a decoder
receives a segment of the coded data as a binary
fraction C. It defines a coding interval of possible
values of C, the interval extending from a variable
lower bound A to a constant upper bound 1. For each
position in the decoded symbol string, the decoder
computes a test value Z that subdivides the coding
interval into sub-intervals according to the relative
probabilities that an MPS or an LPS occurs in the
position. A first sub-interval extends from the lower
bound A to the test value Z; the second sub-interval
extending from the test value Z to 1. If C is greater
than Z, the decoder emits an MPS for the current
position in the decoded symbol string and sets the lower
bound A to the test variable Z for use during decoding
of the next position in the decoded symbol string. If C
is less than Z, the decoder emits an LPS and computes a
new lower bound A and a new binary fraction C for use
during decoding of the next position in the decoded 
symbol string. The encoder operates according to
analogous techniques to compose coded data from original
data.

Abstract: An apparatus, to be used in a desynchronizer, for minimizing the output jitter of the
desynchronizer. The desynchronizer is assumed to include a bit buffer for staging data
that is to be output. The desynchronizer is also assumed to include a means for decoding
the input signal to determine how justification opportunities in the input signal are used
and therefore what justification bits must be leaked by the desynchronizer. The apparatus
and method of the present invention uses the information about the incoming justification
bits or incoming justification bytes and the state of the buffer to determine the longest
possible time to wait before issuing a command to momentarily speed up or delay
outputting the next data unit from the bit buffer. This speeding up or delay is caused by
sending a clock signal to the bit buffer that is shifted in phase by a small amount, thereby
spreading out the effect of an incoming positive or negative justification bit or byte over
many periods of the output clock of the desynchronizer.
