Patent EP-0681402-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIM WILLIAM E
IPC: H04N7/081
Filed: 1995-05-02
Abstract: A system and method for modulating a data signal uses a phase shifting transformer function to phase shift the lower and upper sidebands of the data signal so that the sidebands of the data signal have a 180° phase shift with respect to each other ( i . e ., are complementary). The phase shifted sidebands are added to a standard video signal and then transmitted. A television or other video receiver demodulates the video signal with a simple demodulator circuit, which causes the upper and lower sidebands to be summed together. The data signal, with complementary sidebands, cancels out so that the data signal does not interfere with normal video operation. The upper and lower sidebands of the data signal are processed separately from the video processing circuitry of the television receiver. An inverse phase shifting circuit performs a second phase shift operation on the upper and lower sidebands of the data signal so that the data signal can be demodulated and the data signal recovered.

Abstract: It is desirable to broaden a frequency adjusting range of a resonator, or an adjusting range of a coupling coefficient between two resonators, even in a downsized TM mode dielectric resonator by enhancing a ratio of frequency change relative to an amount of movement of a frequency adjusting dielectric rod, a frequency adjusting hole is formed in a direction orthogonal to a direction of an electric field which exists in a dielectric pillar at resonance, and a void is extended from the frequency adjusting hole in a direction that is orthogonal both to the electric field and also to the frequency adjusting hole. Thus the frequency adjusting range or the adjusting range of the coupling coefficient can be broadened even in a downsized TM mode dielectric resonator, even when the dielectric rod has a limited range of movement, without substantially enlarging the frequency adjusting dielectric rod.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid level detection apparatus using the Archimedean principle suited for the measurement of the level of a liquid, in particular a high temperature molten metal. The liquid level detection apparatus is comprised of a probe (3) which inserted in a molten metal (2) and receives a buoyancy corresponding to the level of the liquid, an arm (4) which is supports the probe at one end, a support (7) which supports the arm, a force detector (8) which is provided under the other end of the arm and detects the buoyancy received by the probe through the arm, and a signal processing means (13) which performs operational processing on the electrical output signals of the force detector and finds the level corresponding to the output. In accordance with the Archimedean principle, if the specific gravity of the liquid is considered constant, them the change in the volume of the probe in the solution, that is, the change in the depth of entry, is proportional to the change in the buoyancy and, using this, the force is detected and operational processing performed to detect the liquid level.

Filed: 1995-07-21
Abstract: A "zero phase start" optimization circuit (500) for a Partial Response, Maximum Likelihood ("PRML") data channel determines a more optimal starting phase for the timing recovery process in a synchronous communication or storage system. The disclosed circuit includes a quantizer (501), a summing junction (502), means (504) for obtaining either an absolute value or squaring function, and an integrator (508). A firmware based optimization routine causes a timing control loop to go through a series of timing acquisition modes, each time starting a clocking oscillator at different phase. The optimization circuit calculates the mean squared error between actual and expected sample values from a known frequency preamble pattern for each timing acquisition. The minimum MSE value corresponds to a more optimal starting phase for the timing control loop oscillator.

Abstract: In a vertical sawtooth generator (18), an end time (TEND) of a retrace portion of a vertical sawtooth signal is controlled by an output signal (112a) of a comparator (19). The comparator has a first input terminal (inverting) that is responsive to a reference voltage (VLOW) and a second input terminal (non-inverting) that is responsive to the sawtooth signal. The reference voltage is coupled to an input terminal (base of Q7) of an amplifier (Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8) of an integrator that generates the sawtooth signal. Any disturbance signal component in the reference voltage is super-imposed on the sawtooth signal. Because the same disturbance signal component is developed simultaneously in both input terminals of the comparator, a high degree of common mode rejection is provided with respect to the disturbance signal component.
