Inventor: BATES CARY LEE
IPC: G06F11/32
Filed: 1992-12-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for distinctively and proportionally displaying windows on a computer display screen is disclosed. The amount of time each of the windows presented to the display screen is active ("in focus") is monitored. Upon receipt of a command from the user, the windows that were active a longer length of time are displayed more distinctively than windows that were active a shorter length of time. More specifically, windows are displayed on the display screen having a window size proportional to the length of time each of the window were active. For example, a window that was active 40% of the time will have a size that is 40% of the specified window tiling area. Windows that have not been active long enough to exceed a minimum window tiling threshold are displayed as icons and are not included in the calculations of percentage of activity of the windows.

Abstract: Thin films of single crystal, phosphorus-alloyed cubic boron nitride are provided on, and in crystallographic registry with, an underlying silicon substrate which is oriented along a single crystallographic axis. The phosphorus-alloyed cubic boron nitride films are deposited using laser ablation methods. The phosphorus-alloyed boron nitride film has a crystallographic lattice constant which can be systematically varied depending upon the desired film composition and processing parameters. Preferably, the boron nitride target, and accordingly the resulting thin film composition, is characterized by a chemical formula of BN (1-x) P (x)  where x is about 0.23. This particular composition results in a crystallographic lattice constant essentially equal to the single crystal silicon substrate. The phosphorus concentration may also be decreased to zero throughout the film so as to provide boron nitride material at the surface, which is characterized by a good crystallographic lattice match with the underlying substrate. The resulting films are particularly suitable for semi-conducting applications over a wide range of temperatures.

Abstract: A transmission system comprises a hydraulic variator (2) with a first pump (3) and a second hydraulic pump (4) that has a variable delivery rate and is connected to the first pump (3), with which, by adjusting the delivery rate, the torque supplied to its pump shaft or pump housing can be set by hydraulic means (6). The variator (2) has one output which is directly connected to the engine and another output of which the torque and speed can be adjusted. If the variator is connected to a mechanical gearbox (13) provided with a permanently driven layshaft (A3), torque can, for automotive applications, be transmitted to an output shaft connected to the vehicle wheels (14) alternatively by hydraulic or mechanical means. It is possible to drive off from stationary with the highest possible torque without interrupting the drive. This is done with the maximum ease of operation and, after a steady state situation has been reached, a transmission system is created with a very high efficiency. Furthermore, a minimal fuel consumption can be achieved by controlling the connectable gear sets incorporated in the gearbox.

Abstract: Testing of data path circuitry (12) within an integrated circuit chip is accomplished by a test circuit comprising of a Signature Analysis Register (SAR)(30). The SAR (30) generates test signals for input to data path circuitry (12) and compacts response signals produced by the data path circuitry following receipt of the test signals. A blocking circuit (28) blocks an initial one of the response signals from being received by the SAR (30) until the test signals from the SAR have propagated through the data path circuitry (12). Bypass multiplexers (34) muliplex the test signals generated by the SAR (30) with input data normally supplied to the data path circuitry (12) to allow the test circuit to be bypassed during intervals other than testing. Loopback multiplexers (26) are also provided to multiplex the output data of the data path circuitry (12) on lines (24) with the input data on lines (16) received by the data path circuitry (12) to allow for testing of a chain of integrated circuits on a circuit board.

IPC: A61C5/40
Filed: 1992-01-17
Abstract: A body (5) is sealably fitted to the opening of a cavity (13) to be cleaned. A water hose (7, 8, 10, 11) is arranged in said body and its inlet (7) is linked to the outlet (4) of a single-acting sound-frequency pump (1) producing alternate phases of drawing a cleaning liquid out of a supply container and compressing it towards the body (5). The outlet (8) of the water hose is connected to a liquid discharge tube (6). The hose's suction tube (11) extends into said cavity (13), where it periodically generates partial vacuums and causes vapour bubbles to be formed. The length of the discharge tube (6) is such that, in operation, a certain mass of liquid flows back thereinto during the suction stroke of each cycle of the pump (1), thereby causing bubble implosion and cavitation in said cavity (13). This apparatus is simple, highly effective and energy and cost efficient.
