Patent EP-0892419-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERENZ JOHN J
IPC: H01P1/12
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: An RF switch formed as a micro electro-mechanical switch
(MEMS) which can be configured in an array forming a micro
electro-mechanical switch array (MEMSA). The MEMS is formed
on a substrate. A pin, pivotally carried by the substrate
defines a pivot point. A rigid beam or transmission line is
generally centrally disposed on the pin forming a teeter-totter
configuration. The use of a rigid beam and the
configuration eliminates the torsional and bending forces of
the beam which can reduce reliability. The switch is
adapted to be monolithically integrated with other
monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) for example
from HBTs and HEMTs, by separating such MMICs from the
switch by way of a suitable polymer layer, such as
polyimide, enabling the switch to be monolithically
integrated with other circuitry. In order to reduce
insertion losses, the beam is formed from all metal, which
improves the sensitivity of the switch and also allows the
switch to be used in RF switching applications. By forming
the beam from all metal, the switch will have lower
insertion loss than other switches which use SiO2 or mix
metal contacts.

Abstract: A method and system (18) for processing user-level messages,
such as voicemail messages, among messaging systems (12 and 14) within
a network includes enabling inter-system transmissions of identifications of
the physical locations in memory space (52) for the mailboxes (54) in which
the contents of the user-level messages are directed. Each mailbox in a
particular system is uniquely associated with a user and with a physical
location in memory space at the system. The physical locations of the
mailboxes are identified (58) to remote systems within the network, so that
the user-level messages may be accompanied by system-level messages
that identify the appropriate physical locations. Thus, a receiving system may
determine (68) the physical location of an intended mailbox without performing
a database search. In the preferred embodiment, each system-level
message also includes the mailbox number, so that the receiving station may
verify (72) the physical location by matching the identified mailbox number
with the actual mailbox number. If the mailbox numbers do not match or if
there is no identification of the physical location within the system-level message,
the receiving system performs a search (70) of the available mailboxes
to determine the appropriate mailbox for storing (74) the user-level message.

Title: Method for operating an NOx storage catalytic converter
Inventor: HOEHNE JUERGEN
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: Theoretical absorption of NOx during weak running, is computer-integrated over time. Temperature-dependent storage capacity of fresh catalyst, and quantity of nitrogen oxide emitted at each engine operational point are taken into account. The capacity- and emission functions, are stored in the engine electronics. Having reached a target absorption value modified by a correction factor (K), rich running is initiated to desorb and convert NOx. Desorption duration (Td) is calculated from the target, and the oxygen stored in the exhaust purification system. Reaction stoichiometry, exhaust gas flow rate, temperature and content of reductant exhaust gas components are all taken into account. During desorption, the stoichiometry of the exhaust is monitored, after the storage catalyst. A duration (T) is measured, following descent of the monitored stoichometry below a given limiting value. Weak running is then reinitiated, all is repeated cyclically. The cited correction factor is the ratio of expected desorption duration (TD) and its measured duration (T), i.e. K=TD/T. Preferred features: Once the correction factor exceeds a set limit, the storage catalyst is deemed defective and replacement is signaled. The target storage value is below nominal storage capacity and/or is related to the engine operational point. On exceeding the correction factor, sulfur compounds are thermally desorbed in rich running (0.95 - 1) at over 600 degrees C for a given interval. A storage catalyst replacement is signaled, when thermal desorption of sulfur no longer reduces the correction factor. The target NOx storage is a value set below its capacity. It is alternatively related to the engine operational point. During desorption, air to fuel ratio is 0.6 - 1 ahead of the storage catalyst. Exhaust composition is measured by a rapid-response lambda sensor. On stopping the engine, the K value is stored in its electronics for the next operation. Exhaust gas composition after the catalyst, is measured using a hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide sensor.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for providing
instrumentation of procedure calls in dynamically linked environments. More
specifically, an embodiment of the present invention includes an API that allows a
user to define procedures that are called during specific times during the execution
of a runtime linker. By defining procedures in accordance with this API, the user can
select procedures within a user program for auditing. The API also allows the user to
define an entry procedure that will be called immediately before each audited
procedure and an exit procedure that will be called immediately after each audited
procedure. The runtime linker uses the procedures defined by the user to select
procedures within the program for auditing. The runtime linker then arranges for the
entry procedure to be called before, and the exit procedure to be called after, each
audited procedure.

Abstract: A scalable audio encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. To
code an audio signal into layered data streams having a base layer and at least one
enhancement layer, the encoding method includes the steps of time/frequency
mapping input audio signals and quantizing the spectral data with the same scale
factor for each predetermined scalefactor band, and packing the quantized data into
bit streams, wherein the bit stream generating step comprises the steps of coding
the quantized data corresponding to the base layer, coding the quantized data
corresponding to the next enhancement layer of the coded base layer and the
remaining quantized data uncoded by a limit in a layer size and belonging to the
coded layer, and performing the layer coding step for all enhancement layers to form
bit streams. In the base layer coding step, the enhancement layer coding step and
the sequential coding step, arithmetic coding is performed using a predetermined
probability model in the order of bit sequences from the most significant bit
sequence to the least significant bit sequence by representing the side information
and quantized data corresponding to a layer to be coded in a predetermined number
of bits. The side information contains scale factors and probability model information
to be used in arithmetic coding.

Abstract: Disclosed are an image processing apparatus and
method improved to lower apparatus cost and to simplify
function selection in comparison with the prior-art
image processing apparatus, which is required to be
equipped with hardware that implements all available
functions regardless of the fact that all of these
functions are not actually used. Specifically, when
power has been introduced to the apparatus, a function
desired to be implemented is selected from functions
displayed on a display screen and internal data of a
programmable gate array corresponding to the selected
function is read out of a ROM. Next, the data that has
been read is downloaded to the programmable gate array
that implements the selected function. A control
program for controlling the selected function is then
started up selectively to establish the operating state.
The selected function is thus implemented by the
programmable gate array.

Abstract: A temperature sensor circuit of a power semiconductor component comprises temperature-sensitive elements, some (Q1, and R1 to R3) of which are located in the vicinity of an active area of the component where heat is generated by the power semiconductor device (MPWR), whereas others (such as R4, R') are located more remote from the heat-generating active area and so are in a cool location. Hot-location elements (Q1, and R1 to R3) with different temperature coefficients are present in a first comparator circuit for indicating device temperature (Tabs) in the vicinity of the heat-generating active area. Both hot-location and cool-location elements (R2 and R4) are present in a second comparator circuit for indicating when a temperature gradient (Tdiff) threshold occurs. A circuit connection (5, 7) between the first and second comparator circuits, preferably at the inputs of their respective comparators (CP1, CP2) couples together the hot-location temperature-sensitive elements (Q1, R1, R2, R3) of the first and second comparator circuits so that the temperature gradient threshold sensed by the second comparator circuit decreases as a function of the device temperature (Tabs).
