Title: Transconductance amplifier
Inventor: PARK JOSHUA C
IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2001-08-03
Granted: 2008-02-20
Abstract: A transconductance amplifier and method for improving the phase response and linearity. A differential amplifier circuit receives differential signals for amplification on respective bases of input bipolar transistors. The transistors amplify a small signal received on the based connections to produce an amplified output current. The differential amplifier circuit is connected to load impedances which form a cascode transconductance amplifier output stage. Feedback transistors provide a feedback voltage from the emitters of each of the different bipolar transistors to the base, improving the linearity of the differential amplifier. Phase compensation is provided by cross coupling through first and second capacitors a portion of each individual differential signal component to the base connections of the differential amplifier input transistor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An injector device for microwave filter units made up of channel filters (1'', 1''') provided with cavities housing dielectric resonators. Each filter has an input cavity which receives a signal transmitted by a coaxial cable terminating at a connector (15'', 15''') mounted through a wall closing the cavity at an input end of the filter. The injector device of a filter acts electrically on a dielectric resonator accommodated in the input cavity via a probe (16) consisting of a L-shaped rod having a first portion connected to the core of the coaxial cable to extend it into the cavity and a second portion acting on a dielectric element (13) of the resonator via electrical coupling means. The invention also relates to filter units equipped with such injector devices.

Abstract: A machine suited to realise automatically the complete winding of all coils directly on stators with "closed slots", comprising a plurality (A, B, C, Y, E, X, Z, H) of electronically controlled axes. The machine allows to form coils having uniformly arranged turns, which are adjacent to each other and do not mutually cross, wherein the layers are regularly overlapped, thereby ensuring that coils have all the same number of turns, the same length (in meters) of the electrically conductive wire, the same electric resistance; this implies, especially in the realisation of analogue electric motors, a higher efficiency and a more regular operation, and a noticeable reduction of the winding time. The machine is provided with a special needle (5) mounted horizontally on a vertical rod (9). The head portions of the stator (14) are appropriately configured in order to facilitate the winding operation and are used in combination with the machine.

Abstract: A system, a device and a method for accelerating packet filtration by supplementing a firewall with a pre-filtering module. The pre-filtering module performs a limited set of actions with regard to the packets, according to whether the packets are received from a connection which has been previously permitted by the firewall. If the packets are received from such a permitted connection, then the pre-filtering module forwards the packets to their destination, optionally performing one or more actions on the packets. Otherwise, the packets are forwarded to the firewall for handling. Preferably, once the firewall has transferred responsibility for the connection to the pre-filtering module, or "off-loaded" the connection, the firewall does not receive further packets from this connection until a timeout occurs for the connection, or a packet is received with particular session-control field values, such that the connection is closed. Optionally and preferably, the pre-filtering module is implemented as hardware.

Abstract: The burnishing method and apparatus for implementing the method of the present invention utilizes a burnishing process to provide deep compression with a minimal amount of cold working and surface hardening. In particular, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of selecting a region of the part to be treated (block 10); selecting the magnitude of compression and the residual stress distribution to be induced along the surface of the selected region (block 12); and inducing a layer of compressive residual stress along the surface of the selected region having the desired magnitude of compression and stress distribution (block 14). In a preferred embodiment, the layer of compressive residual stress is induced by a burnishing operation using a burnishing apparatus (100) having a single-point burnishing member (106) which is forced against the surface (108) of the part (110) and moved along the surface (108) in a substantially nonoverlapping pattern. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the burnishing apparatus (100) automatically increases the pressure being applied against the surface (108) on high point and decreases on low points along the surface (108).
