Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided which compensates for environmental factors which cause misdirection of ink drops (10) ejected from an ink jet printhead (18). Ink drops (10) are electrostatically accelerated in a direction perpendicular to a print substrate (15), decreasing the ink drop flight time from the printhead (18) to print substrate (15). The decrease in flight time decreases the misdirecting effect of the environmental factors on the ink drops (10) since the environmental factors act on the ink drops for a shorter amount of time. Accelerating the ink drops also increases the spot size created when the drop impacts the print substrate (15), decreasing the amount of ink needed to create an image on the print substrate (15). The decrease in ink use results in less cockle and curl in the print substrate (15). The device also provides electrostatic deflection of the ink drops (10) in directions parallel to the print substrate (15), increasing the resolution of the printhead (18).

Abstract: A sensor array (29) includes includes multiple sensor elements that each have a collection electrode (35) in contact with a photosensitive layer (33). The photosensitive layer (33) is configured to produce a detectable response at the collection electrode (35) upon incidence of radiation in a responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. A gate electrode layer (31) is separated from the photosensitive layer by a dielectric layer (32), with adjustments to voltage applied to the gate electrode layer (31) inducing changes in areal extent of the responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. Changing the size of the responsive zone permits performance of image convolutions for edge detection, data compression, or other Gaussian convolutions by the sensor array, rather than by post-detection electronics.

Abstract: A circuit for encoding and decoding key input data from a matrix of switches with a single transmission wire. The circuit for encoding and decoding key input data with a single transmission wire includes a control circuit, a charge storage circuit and a keyboard matrix circuit. The keyboard matrix circuit is composed of a group of resistors connected in series. Each resistor is coupled to ground via a manually actuated switch. When one of the switches is actuated or closed the switch provides an electrical path to ground through the resistors that precede the switch and shorts the resistors that follow the switch. When one of the switches is closed the charge stored on the charge storage circuit dissipates through the electrical path to ground provided by the actuated switch, at a rate related to the sum of the resistance preceding the switch. The control circuit, by monitoring the time for a charge stored on the charge storage circuit to dissipate through an actuated switch coupled to ground, determines which switch was actuated.

Abstract: Real time switch overs from one set of timing signals to a redundant set of timing signals in an ATM system, as required by periodic maintenance checks, are accomplished without incurring data errors by this apparatus and method. Each switch over apparatus has a phase locked loop with a controlled control loop which assists the phase locked loop in rapidly achieving nearly perfect phase locks to one of multiple system reference clocks. The characteristics of the special phased locked loop provide the stability and the timing functions necessary for switch overs between reference clocks to produce errorless ATM signal handling.

primarily polysilicon silicon fill in the trench. A
polysilicon layer is deposited over the top surface of

has its sidewalls oxidized. The opening is then refilled
with epitaxial silicon in which there is created in
operation an inversion layer that serves as the channel
of the transistor, and the deposited polysilicon layer
serves as the word line. Another silicon layer is
deposited over the epitaxial layer to serve as the bit
line. The source/drain regions of the transistor are
formed at the merger of the deposited layer with the fill
in the trench and the merger with the polysilicon layer
that serves as the bit line.
