Title: Transmission line and method of designing same
Inventor: VANNATTA LOUIS JAY
IPC: H05K1/02
Filed: 1995-02-07
Abstract: A transmission line (500) has a limited cross section, a transmission line geometry and an improved characteristic impedance tolerance. The transmission line geometry utilizes a unique combination of broadside coupling (509) and coplanar coupling (507) with a reflector plate (505) to improve the tolerance of the characteristic impedance. First, a larger coplanar gap is used to reduce etching error. Second, the inner dielectric thickness sensitivities were also reduced by relying on broadside coupling (509) and coplanar coupling (507) to determine the characteristic impedance of the transmission line (500). Third, the effect of registration error in the broadside coupling (509) is eliminated by rendering the two signal bearing conductors (501, 503) on the same layer. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-971225-A (GB)
IPC: H03M1/24
Abstract: 971,225. Electric selective signalling systems. LICENTIA PATENT-VERWALTUNGSG.m.b.H. April 25, 1962 [May 4, 1961], No. 15731/62. Heading G4H. In a photo-electric position digitiser of the type in which each photo-cell is associated with a single lamp means are provided which respond to the failure of any lamp. As described the lamps are series connected in chains 1, 2, Fig. 1, of appropriate size and the voltage of the mid-point M1, M2, of each chain is monitored. If a lamp should fail this voltage will either rise or fall depending upon which half of the chain the fault occurs in. If a fault occurs in the upper half of a chain the mid-point voltage rises and, via one of diodes 11 cuts off a normally conducting transistor 10. This, in turn, via one of diodes 9, flips a bistable circuit 7, 8 to the condition in which transistor 7 is conducting which produces an alarm indicating signal at A. Similarly should a fault occur in the lower half of a chain the mid-point potential falls and the bi-stable circuit 7, 8 is flipped directly via one of diodes 9, the invertion stage 11, 10 being by-passed.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin-coated aluminum alloy plate having so high a processing adhesion that the laminated thermoplastic resin layer is not separated therefrom even when the plate is subjected to a severe forming process in which the plate is deep-drawn, stretched and then ironed. A process and an apparatus for producing the same are also disclosed. An aluminum alloy plate is treated with an alkali solution and an acid solution in order so us to put the surface of the plate in a special condition. The resultant plate is subjected to anodic electrolysis using a direct current in an acid solution containing one or more of inorganic acid, such as sulfuric acid and an organic acid, such as carboxylic acid or hydroxy carboxylic acid. Alternatively, the resultant plate is subjected to a treatment using hot water of above 60C. boiling water, or water vapor so as to form a uniform hydration oxide film of 2-10 nm in thickness. The alloy plate is coated with a thermoplastic resin. This enables the thermoplastic resin-coated aluminum alloy plate to have so high a processing adhesion that permits the plate to withstand a severe forming process.
