Abstract: A device for detecting laser beams where high levels of light from an
extraneous source may be present in one area of the device's field-of-view. The
device has a lens (3) to focus an image of the field-of-view onto a surface of a
photodetector (1) and an optical limiter (2) is located between the lens (3) and the
photodetector (1). The optical limiter (2) limits transmission of the light received
from the extraneous source at areas of the optical limiter (2) onto which the light is
focussed by the lens (3) but remains transmissive to the laser beams and light received
from other areas. The device is particularly intended for use in laser warning
receivers where sunlight (S) may be focussed on the optical limiter (2) and blocked at
the particular area (5) of the optical limiter (2) onto which it is focussed. The optical
limiter (2) does not block laser beams allowing them to be detected by the
photodetector. 
     An imaging system using the same optical arrangement can also be used in
video cameras to specifically attenuate the effects of the sun on a charge coupled
device (CCD) image sensor.

Abstract: In an optical recording apparatus (1), a detecting section (3) detects disk identification information of an optical disk (11) for selecting a constant which relates to the detected disk identification information. A test OPC section performs test writing operation for OPC at a predetermined linear velocity prior to recording of data so as to obtain a test value. A formulating section formulates an equation expressing a target value in function of a recording linear velocity based on the constant, the predetermined linear velocity and the test value. A running OPC section performs running operation of OPC by monitoring an actual value while irradiating a laser beam for the recording of data at the recording linear velocity. A controlling section controls the power of the laser beam such that the monitored actual value coincides with the target value which is determined by the equation with respect to the recording linear velocity.

Abstract: A short-channel NMOS transistor 300 in a p-well 303,
bordered laterally on each side by an isolation region 304 and
vertically by a channel stop region 320, has a n-source 310 and
a n-drain 312, each comprising a shallow region 311, 313
extending to the transistor gate and a deeper region recessed
from the gate, and both having a depletion region when reverse
biased. The shallow regions are surrounded in part by an
enhanced p-doping implant pocket 314, 315. The transistor
further has in these regions of enhanced p-doping another region
of a p-resistivity higher than the remainder of the
semiconductor. These regions 370, 371 extend laterally
approximately from the inner border of the respective shallow
region to the inner border of the respective recessed region,
and vertically from a depth just below the depletion regions of
source and drain to approximately the top of the channel stop
regions. 
     According to the invention, these regions of higher p-type
resistivity are created after gate definition by an ion
implant of compensating n-doping, such as arsenic or phosphorus,
using the same photomask already used for implants creating the
extended source and drain and the pockets of enhanced p-doping. 
     In an ESD event, these regions of higher resistivity
increase the current gain of the parasitic lateral npn bipolar
transistor and thus raise the current It2, which initiates the
thermal breakdown with its destructive localized heating,
thereby improving ESD robustness.

Abstract: A transmitter (10) based on a frequency synthesizer includes an
LC tank (12) of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with
various arrays of capacitors. The LC tank 12 is divided into
two major groups that reflect two general operational modes:
acquisition and tracking. The first group
(process/voltage/temperature and acquisition) approximately sets
the desired center frequency of oscillation initially, while the
second group (integer and fractional tracking) precisely
controls the oscillating frequency during the actual operation.
For highly accurate outputs, dynamic element matching (DEM) is
used in the integer tracking controller to reduce nonlinearities
caused by non-uniform capacitor values. Also, a
preferred range of the integer tracking capacitor array may be
used for modulation after the selected channel has been
acquired. A digital sigma-delta modulator circuit (50) drives a
capacitor array (14d) in response to the fractional bits of the
error word. On mode switches, the accumulated error is
recalculated to a phase restart value to prevent perturbations.
