Abstract: A bias circuit includes a plurality of current generating stages for generating a plurality of reference currents, a plurality of cascode stages, a bias voltage generator, and a low impedance driver circuit for supplying a low impedance bias voltage to the cascode stages. The low impedance of the driver circuit reduces the generated noise voltage and the interaction between the current sources, minimizing noise amplification. The driver circuit includes a number of high input impedance, low output impedance buffer amplifiers. The input of each buffer amplifier receives the generated bias voltage, and the low impedance output of each buffer amplifier is coupled to the bias voltage input of one or more cascode stages. For maximum noise reduction, the bias circuit further includes a filter stage coupled between one of the buffer amplifier outputs and the bias voltage input of each of the cascode stages. If multiple cascode stages are used in the current sources, a second embodiment of the driver circuit generates multiple low impedance bias voltage outputs for driving the bias voltage input of each cascode stage. The driver circuit includes rows of buffer amplifiers. A first row of buffer amplifiers has multiple outputs for driving a first bias voltage input of one or more of the cascode stages. Additional rows are used as needed to drive additional levels of bias inputs. The second embodiment of the driver circuit can be used in conjunction with filter stages for improved performance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the insertion and withdrawal forces of plug-in contacts which are produced on the band by means of punching dies, in the case of which a particularly suitable sensor can carry out a large number of these measurements directly at the punching machine for the production of the plug-in contacts, and disturbing influences are avoided to the largest possible extent. This is possible because the force to be measured is not transmitted directly onto a sensor via the measuring mandrel, but the measuring mandrel is connected to the sensor by means of an element which is flexible in the radial direction and is firmly connected to both in the axial direction, with the result that only the insertion and/or withdrawal forces are measured and the disturbing influence of transverse and torsion forces is simultaneously suppressed.

Abstract: In a multi-track magnetic signal reproducing apparatus, a plurality of MR heads including MR (Magneto Resistance Effect) elements (2-1 to 2-N) are provided correspondingly to tracks on a magnetic tape. At the time of reproduction, constant current from a constant current power supply (1) is sequentially supplied as pulse-shaped current for detecting a signal to each MR element by a switching operation by switch (3) in response to a prescribed clock signal (CL1), and output voltage from each MR element related to reproduction of a magnetic signal on a corresponding track is sequentially provided to one input side of a differential amplifier (4). In differential amplifier (4), the offset voltage of each MR element provided to the other input side and the above-described output voltage are differentially amplified and only voltage due to the reproducing magnetic signal of each track is accurately extracted. Accordingly, the supply of pulse-shaped current effectively suppresses increase in the amount of consumption current regardless of the number of tracks on the tape (or the number of heads), and since amplifier (4) is shared between the tracks, the number of necessary terminals for such a multi-track MR head is reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus and method suitable for inflating a vehicle occupant restraint. The apparatus stores a gas generating material in a first chamber (40) and stores a supply of gas under pressure in a second chamber (14). When ignited, the gas generating material produces a hot gas which contains particulate material. To effect particulate removal, housed within the container and extending about a gas exit nozzle (44) of the first chamber is a filter structure (51). The filter structure forms inner and outer mixing zones (54, 56) within the second chamber wherein portions of the stored gas mix with the appropriately generated and/or treated gas, forming inflation gas. The inflation gas in turn is passed through a diffuser and into the vehicle occupant restraint.

Abstract: A digital halftone pattern geometry adapted not to the characteristics of variable dot size printing presses but to the operating characteristics of the printer itself achieves a high degree of image quality. The techniques for creating the halftone pattern geometry include linear spot growth to provide uniform darkening and the use of a super-cell structure to maximize the number of tint or gray scale levels. A preferred super-cell structure is of hexagonal dispersed-dot form to reduce low frequency artifacts by spreading them over a greater number of frequencies. Hexagonal centered super-cells also distribute row and column artifacts along three axes of symmetry instead of two. The super-cell structure gives sharp edges and a greater amount of edge area available to manipulate when the super-cells are tessellated to form an image. This halftone cell arrangement is especially suited to thermal transfer printers, which print linear rows and form good rectangular shapes. The resulting image exhibits smooth darkening even for cells having few pixels.

Abstract: A synchronous servo data detection subsystem for a PRML sampled data channel of a hard disk drive including a plurality of radially extending servo sectors (S0-Sn) embedded on a rotating data storage surface. Each servo sector includes a servo synchronization field, a synchronous servo address mark field, and fields providing coarse and fine head position information. A data head reads and writes data signals from and to the storage surface, and a voice coil actuator structure positions the head at each selected data track under control of a head position servo loop. The sampled data channel receives, synchronously samples and decodes analog signals into digital data and reads the servo fields as the data head passes over each servo sector. The servo detection system includes a timing loop for synchronizing the sampled data channel to the servo synchronization field to provide synchronous samples from the servo sector, a synchronous servo address mark pattern detector connected to an output of the sampled data channel for detecting the unique recording pattern and for thereupon generating a servo address mark found signal, a synchronous coarse head position information detector connected to an output of the sampled data channel responsive to the address mark found signal for detecting and accumulating coarse bits comprising the coarse head position information, and a synchronous fine head position detector connected to the sampled data channel for detecting the fine head position information. Preferably, the synchronous servo address mark pattern bears low correlation to the synchronization field and to the position information fields.

Abstract: A head (DMR) having a narrow track width (Wr), defined as equal to or less than 10 times the height (L) of its MR elements, for use in reproducing signals having short wavelengths greater than 100 kiloflux changes per inch. The track width reduction to less than 10 times the MR element height introduces new parameters into the determination of the DMR signal response. In particular, the directional sense of the magnetization vectors along the longitudinal axes of the two MR elements join with the transverse bias field direction and the signal field direction in determining the head response; that is, the head's performance is now determined by its "three dimensional" characteristics, rather than the "two dimensional" characteristics as in the prior art. In the "symmetric" DMR, the longitudinal bias component (48,50,52,54) in each of the DMR's magnetoresistive elements (36,38) are parallel and oriented in the same direction, while in the "anti-symmetric" DMR the longitudinal bias components (84,86,88,90) are parallel but are oriented in opposite directions. The symmetric DMR has an off- track response (100,102) which allows it to possibly serve simultaneously as a tracking head as well as a data reproduce head, while the anti- symmetric DMR has a data signal output (98) that can be more than twice that of the symmetric DMR.
