Abstract: The object of the invention is a transmitter/receiver for transmitting and receiving
of an RF signal in two frequency bands. In the solution according to the invention,
a transmitter/receiver is used which is based on direct conversion and in it, when
operating in both frequency bands, the mixing frequency is formed by means of
the same synthesizer (340). This is implemented preferably in such a way that in
the higher operating frequency, the frequency of the output signal of the
synthesizer is used as such as a mixing frequency and when operating in the lower
operating frequency, a mixing frequency is used which is obtained by dividing the
frequency of the output signal of the synthesizer by two or a larger integer in the
divider (311, 361). When the solution according to the invention is used, many
synthesizers are not needed in the transmitter/receiver and no intermediate
frequency components are needed.

Abstract: The invention is a vibratory rotation sensor comprising a resonator and a housing to which
the resonator is attached and a method for reading out the standing-wave orientation angle utilizing
a tracking angle which is maintained equal to the orientation angle on average. The resonator is a
rotationally-symmetric thin-walled object that can be made to vibrate in a plurality of standing-wave
modes. The method includes applying driving voltages to housing electrodes and determining the
orientation of a standing wave by performing operations on the resonator signal that arrives at a
single resonator output port from one or more electrodes in close proximity to the housing electrodes.
A driving voltage may include either a pair of excitation voltages or a forcing voltage or both. An
excitation voltage has essentially no effect on the resonator dynamics but carries information
pertaining to the tracking angle and the standing-wave parameters when it arrives at the resonator
output port. A forcing voltage causes forces to be applied to the resonator and thereby affects the
dynamics of the resonator and the standing-wave parameters. The driving voltages applied to the
housing electrodes are brought together into a single resonator signal as a result of being transmitted
through the housing-electrode-resonator-electrode capacitances to the resonator output port. In order
to extract the standing-wave orientation angle, the excitation and forcing voltages are designed to be
separable by appropriate operations performed on the resonator signal.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a mobile communications terminal
(100) includes a high accuracy clock (101) for providing a timebase in a normal
operating mode, a "slow clock" (102) for providing the timebase in a low power mode
of operation, and at least one processor (103) coupled to the high accuracy clock and the
"slow clock" for controlling the modes of operation. In a preferred embodiment, the
mobile communications terminal includes a conversion signal processor (CSP) (103), a
digital signal processor (DSP) (104), a communications protocol processor (105), and a
radio frequency (RF) segment (106). The CSP (103), which includes a plurality of
registers, interfaces with the DSP (104) to execute the timing control functions for the
terminal. In the normal operating mode, the timebase is maintained from the high
accuracy clock (101). During inactive periods of terminal operation (e.g., in a paging
mode), a sleep mode is enabled wherein the high accuracy clock source is disabled, the
DSP (104), CSP (103), and communications protocol processor (105) are shut down,
and the "slow clock" (102) provides the timebase for the terminal while a sleep counter
is decremented for a given sleep interval. Upon expiration of the sleep interval or in
response to an intervening external event (e.g., a keypad is depressed), a terminal wake-up
is initiated so that the high accuracy clock resumes control of the timebase. Because
the high accuracy clock and the "slow clock" are not synchronized, the CSP and DSP
calibrate the "slow clock" to the high accuracy clock prior to the terminal entering the
sleep mode.

Abstract: A PSA process for purifying a gas stream, for example, of air, by removal of carbon
dioxide impurity employs a blend or composite of activated alumina and a zeolite that
is a selective adsorbent of carbon dioxide. The combined adsorbent results in a
higher sieve specific product and lower vent loss as compared to a PSA process
utilising activated alumina alone. Any moisture present in the gas stream is removed
by the combination adsorbent or by a preliminary layer of desiccant. The method is
particularly useful for the prepurification of atmospheric air by pressure swing
adsorption.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for processing
semiconductor wafers, and in particular for determining
a warpage of a wafer (14) for providing a minimum
clamping voltage to an electrostatic chuck (ESC) when
the wafer is subsequently processed thereon. The
apparatus includes an electrostatic chuck (12, 120) and
a control arrangement (16, 18, 20). The electrostatic
chuck includes a clamping surface (13, 130) for
clamping a wafer thereto by a clamping force that is
dependent on a clamping voltage applied to the
electrostatic chuck. The control arrangement is used
to detect an inherent warpage in the wafer prior to a
processing of that wafer, and determine a minimum
clamping voltage from the measured warpage that is to
be applied to the electrostatic chuck during a
subsequent processing of the wafer. The minimum
clamping voltage has a value for each wafer that
securely clamps the wafer to the clamping surface and
avoids excessive warpage and backside abrasion of the
wafer. The control arrangement includes a suitable
wafer warpage measuring tool (20, 50, 52, 54) such as,
for example, a capacitance warpage measuring tool (50,
52, 54) or a optical warpage measuring tool (20) that
measures the inherent warpage of a wafer, and an
electrostatic chuck software control (18). The
electrostatic chuck software control uses the measured
warpages to determine and store data of a minimum
clamping voltages and an associated wafer
identification for each wafer for use in subsequently
processing each wafer.

Abstract: A transmission wheel pressurizing apparatus for
always supplying, in a continuously variable transmission
of a constant HP transmission type (10), a pressurizing force
and an elastic force to one out of two transmission wheels (1,2)
simultaneously and only a pressurizing force to the other.
For securing the desired number of revolutions and axial
torque by always applying a variable pressurizing force and
an elastic force of the former, an indirect pressurizing
system by way of an elastic member is employed to solve
problems, resulting from the employment of the elastic
member which is great in dimension and weight, of
maintenance of elastic force of various mechanisms,
installation within a narrow space, securing a high-speed
response controller, avoidance of centrifugal force and
simplification of assembly operating properties. Upon
giving pressurizing control to driven transmission wheel (1),
an elastic device (3) and a compression device (4) are combined so
that respective pressurizing forces are superposed in
series one another, and the pressurizing force to the
driven transmission wheel and the number of revolutions of
the transmission wheel are made in inverse proportion to
one another to realize pressurizing characteristics of
negative inclination. Further, the elastic force thereof
is always maintained to secure automatic aligning function
and stable constant HP transmission to the transmission
member (11), and apparatuses are supported in a floating state
for maintaining the elastic force thus minimizing in size,
and intensifying for arranging concentratively on the main
body, and the entire pressurizing apparatus is made to be
in a detachable construction and at the same time,
achieving the high-speed responsiveness of variable speed
control.
