Abstract: A digital angle detecting adapted to obtain a
stable digital angle output, which is little affected by a
cable length and so on, by using a resolver of the
amplitude modulation type. In this method, the respective
phases of two-phase resolver signals are first shifted.
Then, the two-phase resolver signals shifted in phase are
added to the original two-phase resolver signals to
thereby obtain two-phase synthetic signals. Subsequently,
another signal is synthesized by multiplaying the two
synthetic signals by two-phase sine-wave signals.
Finally, an angle output or an angular velocity output is
obtained by using the synthesized signal.

Abstract: Pressure fluctuations within a gas turbine engine combustor are
monitored and the fuel flow to the combustor adjusted if the pressure
fluctuations exceed a preestablished threshold. The combustor can be

Abstract: The mixed powders of a lithium compound and a
transition metal based compound are formed into shaped
parts, which are packed to form a bed 6 on a porous plate 5
in the bottom of a reaction vessel 7 placed on a support 10
in a firing furnace 8 equipped with an electric heater; the
packed parts are fired with an oxidizing gas such as air
being forced through the bed 6 at a superficial velocity
higher than a specified value via a gas feed pipe 3
connecting an air pump 1, a flow regulator 2 and a
preheater 4 and the gas emerging from the bed 6 is
discharged into the air atmosphere through a ventilation
port 9. Even if increased amounts of the mixed powders have
to be fired, the invention process enables the production
of a lithium complex oxide as an active material that is
homogeneous and which features excellent cell
characteristics. If the manufacturing conditions are
controlled such that the media diameter as a powder
characteristic of the lithium complex oxide is within an
appropriate range while, at the same time, the ratio of the
median diameter to the specific surface area diameter is
adjusted to lie within an appropriate range, one can
produce an active material that has not only high initial
capacity but also improved cycle characteristics.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple-beam transmitting system (100) for use in a
wireless telecommunication system, including a radio transmitter assembly (104),
which can be situated at the bottom of a base station tower, and a transmitter
subassembly (102) that can be situated atop the base station tower. The radio
transmitter assembly is operative to modulate and frequency translate a plurality of
input information-bearing signals. The signals are then combined to form a first
FDM signal, which can then be routed to the transmitter subassembly via a single
FDM cable (110) running up the tower. The transmitter subassembly (102) includes
a power splitter (120) for splitting the first FDM signal into a plurality of second
FDM signals and a plurality of frequency translators, (T 1  to T M  ), each for frequency
translating one of the second FDM signals. Each frequency translator thereby places
at least one of the information-bearing signals within a predetermined translated
frequency band. A multiple-beam-antenna (150) radiates a plurality of antenna
beams, with each antenna beam transmitting at least one of the information-bearing
signals placed by an associated frequency translator within the translated frequency
band. A multiple beam receiving system can be employed to receive incoming
signals from wireless terminals.

having two platen portions (10,12) jointed along one edge (15) thereof
and forming an angle therebetween, so as to form a platen wedge for

(22) placed on the one platen portion (12) towards a fixed imaging
optic, objective lens (30) which focuses the original onto a fixed
photoreceptor (32); when the mirror is in the inactive position, the

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel design for a low-loss optical power
splitter, in particular Y-branch types resulting from chemical vapor deposition
(CVD) fabricated silica waveguides. More specifically, the present invention utilizes
mode matching of the fundamental modes between the input and the output
waveguides of a splitter to optimize the splitters operational performance. The
optical power splitter of the present invention comprising an input waveguide region
having a predetermined width (W) and capable of transmitting optical energy having
a fundamental mode E 0 / 1: Additionally, the splitter includes at least two output
waveguide regions positioned to receive at least a portion the optical energy from the
input waveguide region wherein the output waveguide regions each have
predetermined widths (w) and are capable of transmitting optical energy having a
fundamental mode E 0 / 2; and wherein the output waveguide regions of each pair are
separated by a gap of a predetermined width (d) therebetween. Lastly, the
operational performance of the splitter is enhanced in accordance with the present
invention as a result of selecting certain physical properties of the splitter design
such that the fundamental modes E 0 / 1 and E 0 / 2 are substantially equal at the beginning
of the output waveguide regions. Mode matching of the fundamental modes
between the single input and the dual output waveguides of a splitting Y junction
was central to achieving the improved performance.

Abstract: A wafer position error and detection and
correction system determines the presence of a wafer
(10) on a wafer transport robot blade (20). The
system also determines a wafer position error by
monitoring the position of the wafer with respect to
the blade with one sensor which is located proximate
to each entrance of a process chamber. When a wafer
position error is detected, the system determines the
extent of the misalignment and corrects such
misalignment if correctable by the wafer transport
robot or alerts an operator for operator intervention.
The system incorporates a transparent cover (30) on
the surface of the wafer handling chamber (16) and
four optical detection sensors (60) disposed on the
surface of the transparent cover, in which each sensor
is placed proximate to the entrance of the process
chamber. In addition, an I/O sensor (66a) is placed
adjacent to the I/O slit valve (25) to detect and
correct wafer position errors. The detection sensors
direct light through the wafer handling chamber to
reflectors (62) on the floor (42) of the transfer
chamber (16) which reflect the light back to the
detector sensors. A detector (60) within the detector
sensor detects when the beam path from the position
sensor to the reflector is uninterrupted. As a wafer
(10) is retracted out of a process chamber or a wafer
cassette, the position of the wafer with respect to
the blade is measured, thus determining whether the
wafer is properly placed on the wafer.
