IPC: G01S7/03

Abstract: A dielectric antipodal flared notch radiator (50) with separate transmit and receive ports (72,76) for phased array and active array antennas. A circulator (80) is integrated directly to the broadside coupled-strip transmission line portions (78,88) of the antipodal flared notch radiator without the use of baluns. The look-in impedance of the radiator element is improved as a result of the circulator and lack of a balun. By sandwiching the antipodal flared notch between two additional layers of dielectric (54,56), the device can be made a building block for broadband active array antennas.

Abstract: An electrode layer (E1) is formed on the upper surface of a first substrate (100), and a processing for partially removing the substrate is carried out in order to allow the substrate to have flexibility. To the lower surface of the first substrate, a second substrate (200) is connected. Then, by cutting the second substrate, a working body (210) and a pedestal (220) are formed. On the other hand, a groove (401) is formed on a third substrate (400). An electrode layer (E2) is formed on the bottom surface of the groove. The third substrate is connected to the first substrate so that both the electrodes (E1, E2) face to each other with a predetermined spacing therebetween. Finally, the first, second and third substrates are cut off every respective unit regions to form independent sensors, respectively. When an acceleration is exerted on the working body (210), the first substrate (100) bends. As a result, the distance between both the electrodes (E1, E2) changes. Thus, an acceleration exerted is detected by changes in an electrostatic capacitance between both the electrodes.

Abstract: A neural network system includes a qualitative evaluation section (2), a neural network section (5), a quantifying section (3) and a display section (32). The qualitative evaluation section (2) qualitatively analyzes an unknown data supplied thereto, and normalizes the result of analysis within a predetermined range. The neural network section (5) having a neural network (6) with plural neurons computes the network output data from the normalized unknown data produced by the qualitative evaluation section (2). Each neuron is connected to plural of neurons through synapses, each of which is assigned with a weight coefficient. Each neuron is adapted to output an output function value assigned thereto associated with the total sum of the products of the output from the neurons connected thereto and the synapse weight coefficient. The quantifying section (3) quantifies the network output data to produce desired data. The desired data thus produced is displayed on the display section.

Abstract: A time-efficient method for smoothing a surface 20 of an applied coating composition 22 is disclosed herein. In particular, the present invention sets forth a technique for expediting the subsidence of coating surface irregularities R1, R2. The technique of the present invention is applied subsequent to the application of the coating composition 22 to an electrically conductive object 24, which results in the formation of a coating surface 20. The technique of the present invention includes the step of generating electrically charged particles 40 in a volume of space adjacent to the coating surface 20. The charged particles 40 cause an electric field to develop across the coating composition 22, which induces the charged particles 40 to exert pressure on the coating surface 20.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of simulating the state of a TYPE I Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR 100) with information available as a result of a TYPE II LFSR (500) implementation. This is accomplished by clocking a TYPE II LFSR (500) to produce an output sequence. This sequence, or at least a portion thereof, is then stored in a storage medium (501), such as, for example, a shift register. Cascading a TYPE II LFSR (500) output sequence into a shift register of length N, where N is the number of stages employed by the TYPE II LFSR (500), is the exact equivalent of a TYPE I LFSR (100). Accordingly, the shift register (501) content will contain data corresponding to the state of a TYPE I LFSR (100).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing a semiconductor device (12) having a diode (16) formed therein. In its broadest sense, the invention involves irradiating the semiconductor device (12) with electromagnetic radiation while monitoring the leakage current output from the diode (16) contained in the semiconductor device (12). If the semiconductor device (12) is present and properly soldered to the printed circuit board (14), an increase in the leakage current will be observed during the irradiation process. The increase in leakage current is also representative of the presence of intact bond wires at both the pin under test and the ground pin. The invention in a preferred form is shown to include a voltage source (20), electrically connected to the diode (16), for biasing the diode in a reverse direction, a current monitor (24, 25), connected to monitor the leakage current from the diode (16) and an electromagnetic radiation generator, positioned to provide electromagnetic radiation incident on the semiconductor device (12). It is preferred that the electromagnetic radiation be an ionizing radiation such as X-rays. However, such electromagnetic radiation can also be visible light, such as fluorescent light or incandescent light. In an especially preferred embodiment, the semiconductor device (12) is first exposed to electromagnetic radiation, and thereafter the diode (16) is biased in a reverse direction.

Abstract: . Relatively thin microdisc cassette cases having a generally rectangular parallelpiped shape and adapted to house therewithin a standardized 3.5-inch flexible magnetic disc, include a pair of opposing planar cassette case halves, and detent members for joining these cassette case halves one to another in face-to-face relationship. The detent members include a number of registered male and female detents which are sized and configured so as to be in an interference friction fit with one another. In such a manner, the cassette case halves are securely joined one to another without necessarily employing conventional ultrasonic welding techniques. However, the cassette case halves may nonetheless be separated upon application of a separatory force of sufficient magnitude. Preferably, the cassette case halves, and hence the male and female detent members, are unitarily molded from a polyacetal resin.
