Title: Ultra-thin self-assembling molecular films and apparatus and method for making them and applying them to surfaces
IPC: B05D1/20
Filed: 1990-03-02
Abstract: An ultra-thin, self-assembling molecular film has ordered 
amphiphilic molecules that are oriented relative to one another in two 
directions.  
     The film is made by delivering a substantially continuous curtain 
of film-forming solution containing amphiphilic molecules to a surface 
of an aqueous liquid, confining the film-forming solution against 
movement in all but one direction along the said surface, whereby the 
film-forming solution solidifies into a self-assembling molecular fluid 
membrane in which the molecules are ordered and arranged in aligned 
units that are themselves oriented relative to one another in two 
directions generally parallel to the said surface.  
     Apparatus for carrying out this method comprises liquid-holding 
means (A) for holding an aqueous liquid having a liquid surface and on 
which a film-forming solution containing amphiphilic molecules is 
solidifiable, the said liquid-holding means (A) having side boundaries 
(14, 16) at opposite ends of a width dimension extending substantially 
perpendicular to a film-forming direction, and delivery means (B) for 
delivering a film-forming solution containing amphiphilic molecules to 
the liquid-holding means (A) in a substantially continuous thin stream 
extending substantially continuously across the said width dimension, 
whereby the solution floats in an aqueous liquid held by the liquid-­
holding means (A) and solidifies into the desired film.  
     The film may be applied directly to a substrate as it is 
produced.

Title: Seismic pulse generation
IPC: G01V1/133
Filed: 1990-04-05
Abstract: An acoustic wave energy generator comprises a body having 
an internal gas-pressurisable first chamber 1 adjoining a 
second chamber 2 into which a liquid is introduced to 
cover a vibratable means 4 which may be a flexible 
diaphragm and is mounted on the second chamber so as 
to close an associated opening 5 in the second chamber. 
After the first chamber 1 is pressurised with a first gas 
a common closed opening between the chambers is opened to 
cause communication between the chambers 1,2 to permit a 
shock wave emanating from the first chamber to impinge on 
the liquid. As a result, the vibratable means 4 is caused 
to vibrate so as to produce acoustic wave energy in 
response to the impingement of the shock wave on the 
liquid. By using different liquids and/or different 
heights of liquids in the second chamber the generator may 
be tuned to provide acoustic wave energy with a relatively 
narrow chosen frequency range or within a chosen 
substantially single frequency.

Title: A radiation-curable organopolysiloxane compound, method for the preparation thereof and method of forming a cured coating film
IPC: C08F299/08
Filed: 1990-04-12
Abstract: A novel organopolysiloxane compound has in its 
molecule at least three (meth)acryloxy groups localized 
at only one of the molecular chain ends of the 
polysiloxane chain. The localization of the 
(meth)acryloxy groups results in the organopolysiloxane 
compound being highly curable by irradiation, e.g., 
with an electron beam or ultraviolet light, to give a 
cured coating film on a substrate surface exhibiting 
excellent releasability against sticky substances. A 
synthetic route for the preparation of a one-end 
crosslinkable organopolysiloxane compound of this type 
is also described.

Title: Method for transmitting commands excluded from a predefined command set
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 1990-05-08
Abstract: A method for transmitting commands from an originating 
program to a receiving program uses the data area (26) of 
instructions. A first set of commands are predefined for use 
in the command area (24) of the instructions. A second set of 
commands, excluded from the first set of commands, can pass 
through operating system modules (18), including driver software (16), 
by inserting them in the data area (26) of an instruction. The 
second set of commands are identified by including 
identification codes in the data area (26), such as a predefined 
random number key. In addition, the command area (24) can be used 
to eliminate the majority of normal commands quickly by 
always using a specific address and command in the first set 
of commands to transmit the second set of commands.

Inventor: MURAI HIDESHI
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1995-02-22
Abstract: A data demodulator circuit for spread spectrum communication,
presenting improved demodulation characteristics by allowing
the elimination of the influence of a carrier offset remaining
after down converting, and the removal of the interference
caused by pilot signals with different timing. In-phase axis received
signal and quadrature axis received signal are provided to
data demodulator circuits adapted to operate with their respective
reception timing of pilot signal. A phase difference information
extracting means (10) extracts phase difference information
from the input signals, and delay means delays the received signals
so as to ensure that extracted phase difference information
is equivalent to the amount of average phase revolution. A
frequency and phase compensation means (30) eliminates the influence
of the carrier offset by use of thus extracted phase difference
information. A data demodulation means (40) with canceler removes an
interference I DF  of pilot signals with different timing originating
from the outputs of an interference amount calculating means.

Abstract: A cross-connect for interfacing high-speed ports and
having add/drop multiplexing capabilities for permitting
simultaneous access to all individual subscribers may be
improved by utilizing a switch block arrangement for
allowing downstream subscribers to be switched among each
other without the need to be switched upstream through
the cross-connect or may alternatively be improved by
substituting an expansion shelf in place of a line shelf
so as to permit the addition of additional line shelves
and hence, additional subscribers. This latter
improvement is made possible by assuming that not all
subscribers will need access to the cross-connect at the
same time. A switch block for such arrangements can
output either an input data signal previously stored in a
switch memory or a daisy-chain input that is output from
another switch block in the arrangement.

Abstract: A method for forming an isolation structure (22) on a
SOI substrate (11) is provided. A three layer stack of an
etchant barrier layer (16), a stress relief layer (17), and
an oxidation mask layer (18) is formed on the SOI substrate
(11). The three layer stack is patterned and etched to
expose portions of the etchant barrier layer (16). The
silicon layer (13) below the exposed portions of the
etchant barrier layer (16) is oxidized to form the
isolation structure (22). The isolation structure (22)
comprises a bird's head region (21) with a small
encroachment which results in higher edge threshold
voltage. The method requires minimum over-oxidation and
provides for an isolation structure (22) that leaves the
SOI substrate (11) planar. Minimal over-oxidation reduces
the number of dislocations formed during the oxidation
process and improves the source to drain leakage of the
device.

Abstract: A cellular communications system is provided having
both surface and satellite nodes which are fully
integrated for providing service over large areas. A
spread spectrum system is used with code division
multiple access (CDMA) employing forward error correction
coding (FECC) to enhance the effective gain and
selectivity of the system. Multiple beam, relatively
high gain antennas having reflectors with multiple
element feeds disposed in the focal region thereof are
disposed in the satellite nodes to establish a first set
of cells and, by coupling the extra gain obtained with
FECC to the high gain satellite node antennas, enough
gain is created in the satellite part of the system such
that a user need only use a small, mobile handset with a
non-directional antenna for communications with both
ground nodes and satellite nodes. User position
information is also available. A digital data
interleaving feature reduces fading. Each transmitter
includes a coder representative of its output power
level. Receivers compare this code to the received
signal strength and adjust their associated transmitter
power output level accordingly. An inter-cell bus is
formed in a super-surface node which receives signals
from a plurality of cells, frequency multiplexes those
signals and transmits the mutiplexed signal to the
plurality of cells.

IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1996-11-05
Abstract: The invention uses a suppressed ringing connection, switched through
the existing call processing switch fabric, to connect two CPEs for long duration,
low priority calls. The suppressed ringing connection is implemented such that the
connection is disconnected if an incoming call to one of the CPEs or an outgoing
request for service from one of the CPEs is made. If the suppressed ringing
connection is disconnected due to a request for normal service to or from one of the
CPEs, the system of the invention automatically reestablishes the suppressed ringing
connection after the normal service call has ended such that the long duration
suppressed ringing connection can be maintained on a quasi-permanent basis. As a
result, the suppressed ringing connection can be maintained for long duration
connections without disrupting normal incoming or outgoing service to either of the
connected CPEs.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating the required beamforming
delays for an ultrasound imaging system with minimal
hardware and software. The apparatus performs an algorithm
which allows the required computations to be
separated into three groups. The first group includes
transducer array geometry computations which are beam
independent. The second group includes a small number
of beam-dependent computations which are channel independent.
The final group includes the channel- and
beam-dependent calculations which combine the results
of the first two groups to generate the required beamforming
delays. This last computation is distributed
to logic (62) and simple real-time state machines (64)
per channel. This approach reduces the required
computations and takes advantage of simple parallel
processing to reduce the required hardware and computational
time relative to conventional beamformer
designs. Beam-dependent parameters are broadcast to all
channels simultaneously, where they are combined with
channel parameters to provide the required delay
controls.
