Abstract: In a data synchronizer a timing error estimator (16) samples a received data stream and generates a clock to provide optimal sampling of the data stream, and a lock detector (17) monitors the clock and received data stream to provide an indication of whether optimal sampling has been achieved. The lock detector (17) processes differences between delayed versions of the input which are sampled based upon the clock timing. These sampled differences are then processed by a non-linear circuit (149, 159, 169, 179) to provide a lock signal indication which, when compared to a predetermined threshold signal, is used to provide optimal sampling indication. The lock detector (17) performs computations on real (145) and complex (165) inputs and therefore is compatible with a wide variety of modulation types. The lock detector (17) can be implemented in either analog or digital circuits, making it applicable to a broad range of data synchronizer applications.

Abstract: A low melting point alloy is used to sinter metal carbide particles. The alloy is a eutectic-like alloy formed from a binding metal such as iron, cobalt or nickel, in combination with vanadium and chromium. The alloy is preferably formed by forming two separate alloys and blending these together. The first alloy is formed by spray drying together a solution of a binding metal salt such as a cobalt salt with a solution of a chromium salt. The formed particles are then carburized to form a cobalt-chromium-carbon alloy. A separate vanadium alloy is formed in the same manner. The two are combined to establish the amount of chromium and vanadium desired, and this, in turn, is used to sinter metal carbide parts. This permits sintering of the metal carbide parts at temperatures less than 1250° C and in turn significantly inhibits grain grown without a significant decrease in toughness. It is particularly adapted to form carbide products wherein the carbide grain size is as low as 120 nanometers.

Abstract: An antenna device comprises an array antenna (16) having a
plurality of transmitting planar antenna elements (12) and a
plurality of receiving planar antenna elements (14), a transmission
selecting circuit (18) for selecting at least one of the
transmitting planar antenna elements, a transmitting circuit

transmitting planar antenna element, a reception selecting
circuit (22) for selecting at least one of the receiving antenna
elements, and a receiving circuit (24) for receiving a signal
from the selected at least one receiving planar antenna element.
By selecting the planar antenna elements exclusively for transmission
or reception, it becomes possible to radiate or absorb
(receive) a main beam in or from a direction corres-ponding to
the respective planar antenna element, thereby enabling more
minute switching of the main beam directions and improving the
directional resolution of the antenna device. Further, by
providing the transmitting and receiving planar antenna
elements separately, it becomes possible to prevent the deterioration
of the reception sensitivity due to the leakage of part
of a received signal into a transmission system of the antenna
device. An antenna system employing the antenna device is also
disclosed.
