Abstract: An FM receiver for receiving a text-based multiplex
broadcast comprises a decoder for taking out text-based
program data from a multiplexed signal received at a receiver
circuit and a controller having the first and the second
memory areas. Data taken out by the decoder is alternately
written to the first and second memory areas each time a
power supply is turned on. When the power supply is turned
on, the controller then reads out data from one of the first
and second memory areas that is carrying out writing of the
data, and displays a text-based program at a display element
with this read-out data. The memory area carrying out the
reading of data is then alternately changed over between the
first and second memory areas upon the operation of a
prescribed key.

Abstract: In a very low voltage sampling circuit which is capable of a full ranging
output when powered with a very low voltage, e.g., of about 1 volt a pre-charge circuit
(100) is combined with a sample and hold circuit (0A3, M1, CH) to avoid the need for
low threshold switching devices in the sampling circuit, thus avoiding output droop due
to the increased leakage of low threshold devices. The pre-charge circuit (100) is
placed between the sample and hold circuit (0A3, M1, CH) and an output of the
sampling circuit to 'boost' the voltage level of the output of the sample and hold circuit
to above a predetermined threshold voltage level. The pre-charge circuit includes an
output voltage boost capacitor (CS) which is charged before the hold cycle of the
sampling circuit. The negative node of the output voltage boost capacitor is charged to
a reference voltage based on a range of correction for the output voltage, and the
positive node is charged approximately to a level of the input signal itself.

Abstract: An input moving picture signal is selectively coded by intra-picture
coding or inter-picture coding in unit of frame or field to
output a main bit stream. Specific frames or fields carried by the
input moving picture signal are coded by intra-picture coding to
output a subsidiary bit stream. The specific frames or fields are also
coded by the inter-picture coding. The main and subsidiary bit
streams are multiplexed so that the subsidiary bit streams are
periodically inserted in the main bit stream in the vicinity of a
predetermined number of the frames or fields coded by the inter-picture
coding, thus generating an output bit stream. In decoding, a
coding-type of the bit stream is detected and a coding-type signal is
generated. The main and the subsidiary bit streams are selectively
output in response to the coding-type signal in such a way that both
the main and the subsidiary bit streams are output when no
continuous decoding is being performed, while the main bit stream
only is output when continuous decoding is being performed. The
output bit stream is decoded to reproduce pictures carried by the
input bit stream.

Abstract: A method of fabricating opto-electronic devices having a surface that includes a
first mirror facet in a first semi-conductive layer deposited on a wafer (2), the mirror
facet is located in a first facet plane, comprises the following steps: the wafer (2) is
divided along a first line (3A) to create a segment (4) having the mirror facet located
therein; the segment (4) is fixed to a fixture (5) that moves in relation to a dicing disk (7)
that has a first planar surface in which polishing grit is embedded; the segment (4) is
fixed to a mounting surface (51) such that the first plane is aligned parallel to the first
planar surface of the dicing disk (7); the dicing disk (7) is caused to rotate while the first
planar surface is in contact with the segment (4), but not in contact with the mounting
surface (51), thereby polishing a surface of the segment (4). For opto-electronic devices
that include a second mirror facet in a second facet plane, the second facet plane being
parallel to the first facet plane and displaced therefrom, the wafer (2) is also divided
along the second line (3B) such that the segment (4) also includes the second facet plane.
The second mirror surface is polished by causing the dicing disk (7) to rotate while the
second planar surface is in contact with the segment (4) along the second line (3B). The
method can be practiced with a conventional dicing saw.

Abstract: A protective, reversibly convertible lampshade (100). A first rigid
frusto-conical section (110) is adapted to receive a bulb socket. A
second intermediate section (120) is coupled to the first section (110)
and has a generally frustumated cone shape with the narrower end coupled
to the broader end of the first frusto-conical section (110). The second
section (120) has a series of radially oriented slits (124,125) for
providing flexible movement of the second section (120) relative to the
first section (110). A third, frusto-conical section (130), the narrower
end of the third frusto-conical section is coupled to the wider end of
the second frusto-conical section (120). The third frusto-conical
section (130) is formed of a rigid material. Application of force to the
first (110) and third (130) sections acts to cause the intermediate
section (120) to bend and fold relative to the first and third sections
so that the volume of the lampshade is reduced in a reversible fashion.

Abstract: This invention is an advanced method for determining formation density in an
array-detector density tool (11). The use of three or more detectors (12,13,14) yields an improved
accuracy and precision of the formation density measurement even in the presence of
a large standoff between the tool and the formation. A more accurate photoelectric
factor is determined through a new single detector algorithm. Use of the information
on the photoelectric effect and the density from the three detectors allows the
measurement of a photoelectric effect compensated for stand off and the photoelectric
factor of the mudcake. The use of the multi-detector density answers allows for a
consistency check and therefore a much improved quality control of the density
measurement.

portion of the vibratory head assembly by means of an offset cam integrally formed as part
of a counterbalanced eccentric. Counterweights within the eccentric reduce the vibrations
transmitted to the user's hand and isolate the oscillating vibration of the vibratory head
assembly. Undesired rotation of the vibratory head assembly is prevended by a mounting
construction between the oscillating adapter components and a stationary portion of the
vibratory head assembly secured to the motor unit.

Abstract: A method of detecting a gas is provided, the use of which with a GC system permits
quantitative measurement of gas compounds. The detector comprises at least a base (10),
a finely tapered first electrode (12) and a second electrode (14) with a specific gap
spacing arranged between the first and the second electrodes(12,14), and a third electrode
(16) closely disposed near, but not directly between, the first and second electrodes
(12,14). The first electrode (12) is primarily used to enhance electric field, to lower the
operation potential, and to help to maintain the self-sustaining discharge; the second
electrode (14) is mainly used to impress an electric potential to maintain the self-sustaining
discharge; the third electrode (16) is specially designed as an ignitor to impose
a high electric potential pulse to ignite the self-sustaining gas discharge. Theoretically,
the detection is based on the difference in ionization characteristics between various gas
molecules. To ensure the stable and reliable detection, the detector must operate in the
self sustaining gas discharge state. The ions and electrons generated by the ionization
create an electric current which can be detected through electrodes (12,14,16). The
changes of this electric current with gas composition is used as selective and
discriminating sensing signals.

Abstract: A measurement of channel state is obtained for each carrier of a COFDM signal and is used to vary the discrimination levels of a soft-decision quantiser (26) which feeds a Viterbi decoder (30). The channel state information is obtained from the 64-QAM signal by quantising the input with a hard-decision quantiser (44 - Figure 5) and obtaining the difference between the quantised and unquantised signal (46,48). The channel state information is applied through a symbol-delay recursive filter (64) to a control circuit (80). The output of the control circuit directly controls the soft-decision quantisers (26) by varying their discrimination levels. The control circuit includes a logarithm circuit (84 - Figure 7) and a multiply-by-two circuit (90). The method is applicable to receivers for digital audio broadcasting (DAB) or digital video broadcasting (DVB-T) signals.
