Abstract: In a satellite mobile telephone a radio signal is transmitted by firstly generating
(602) a digital input signal. The digital input signal is processed (703) in
combination with a digital modulating signal (704) to produce a digital intermediate
signal. The digital intermediate signal is converted (705) into an analog
intermediate signal and said analog intermediate signal is processed (706) in
combination with an analog modulating signal to produce a radio frequency output
signal. Similarly, during reception, a received signal is processed in combination
with an analog demodulating signal to produce an analog intermediate signal. The
analog intermediate signal is sampled to produce a digital intermediate signal and
said digital intermediate signal is processed in combination with a digital
demodulating signal so as to select a transmitted channel. By performing
processors partially in the analog domain and partially in the digital domain, it is
possible to achieve rapid phase lock with a relatively narrow channel spacing.

Abstract: A system and method of generating flow control information for a switching node for a digital
network is disclosed. The network includes a source device and a destination device interconnected
by the switching node. The source device generates cells for transmission at a selected transmission
rate to the destination device over a path through the switching node to transmit data in a
downstream direction from the source device to the destination device. The source device further
periodically generates resource management cells for transmission to the destination device over the
path in the downstream direction, and the destination device returns the resource management cells
over the path in upstream direction through the switching node to the source device. The switching
node includes a buffer for buffering cells transmitted in the downstream direction, a cell receiver for
receiving cells from the network and buffering the received cells in the buffer, a cell transmitter for
transmitting cells buffered in the buffer. The resource management cell information generator
generates the flow control information for inclusion in resource management cells to be transmitted
by the cell transmitter. In generating the flow control information, a maximum allowed rate value is
periodically generated in response to a buffer occupancy rate identifying the current portion of the
buffer currently buffering cells for transmission. The flow control information said flow control
information for inclusion in a resource management cell buffered in said buffer, the flow control
information being generated in relation to the maximum allowed rate value most recently generated
by said periodic statistic generator and an adjustment factor value generated in relation to changes
in the buffer occupancy.

Abstract: Disclosed are a gas sensor and a gas concentration
controller each comprising a comparative amplifier (32) for
comparing a reference voltage (Vb) with a terminal voltage
between a reference electrode (26) and an inner pumping
electrode (24a) to obtain a difference therebetween, and
amplifying the difference with a predetermined gain to make
an output. Wiring connection is arranged so that the output
voltage from the comparative amplifier (32) is applied, as a
pumping voltage (Vp) to an oxygen pump (22), between the
electrode (24a) and an outer pumping electrode (24b). A
resistor (Ri) for detecting a pumping current is inserted
and connected between an output terminal of the comparative
amplifier (32) and the electrode (24b) of the oxygen pump
(22). A short circuit is formed between both ends of the
resistor (Ri) by using a capacitor (C). One electrode of
the capacitor (C) is connected to a non-inverting terminal
of a differential amplifier (44), and the other electrode is
connected to an inverting terminal of the differential
amplifier (44). Accordingly, it is possible to effectively
avoid the oscillation phenomenon of the feedback control
system for the oxygen pump, and absorb the error in the
amount corresponding to voltage drop resulting from the
impedance of the oxygen pump.

Abstract: A semiconductor substrate, a thin film semiconductor
device, a manufacturing method thereof and an anodizing
apparatus which can reduce the manufacturing cost and save the
resources are provided. According to this invention, a
semiconductor thin film is formed through a separation layer
of a porous semiconductor on a substrate body of sapphire; the
semiconductor thin film is separated from the porosity layer
and used for a thin film semiconductor device; and the substrate
body from which the semiconductor thin film is separated is used
again after the separation layer attached thereto is removed
by etching. Since sapphire has high strength, high rigidity,
high resistance to wearing, high heat resistance, high abrasion
resistance and high chemicals resistance, no deterioration and
no damage occur even when the substrate body is repetitively
used. Thus, the recycle frequency can be increased, and the
reduction of the manufacturing cost and the saving of the
resources can be promoted.

Abstract: A process for the continuous extraction of water soluble solids from solid particles containing them for providing an extract product in one or more extraction stages. In each extraction stage, a slurry containing particles to be extracted and extract is introduced into an extraction reactor e.g. immediately above a solid-liquid separator to form an upwardly moving packed bed. Particles are scraped from the packed bed for defining an upper surface of the packed bed. An extraction liquid is introduced into the extraction reactor above the upper surface of the packed bed. A portion of the extraction liquid percolating through the packed bed for extracting water soluble substances from the particles in the packed bed and forming an extract. The remaining portion of the extraction liquid entrains the particles scraped from the packed bed for providing a spent particles slurry. The spent particles slurry is removed from the extraction reactor. Extract is removed from below the packed bed and at least a portion of the extract forms the extract product. The extraction stages may be separated by one or more solubilization stages. Examples of water soluble substances are soluble coffee solids or soluble tea solids. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An active feed loader (10) for a paintball gun. The active feed loader
includes a generally horizontal interior passageway or channel (72) having a first
end in communication with an interior space of the housing where paintballs are
housed. A rotatable paddle (39) positioned in the interior space forces paintballs
out of the housing and through the interior passageway or channel until they
drop through an opening therein into a vertical outfeed tube where they form a
paintball stack. When the paintball gun (12) is fired, the paintball stack is
depleted until a sensor (44) detects the absence of a paintball at a specified
location within the outfeed tube. Upon detecting the absence. the sensor
activates a motor (40) which rotates the paddle to force paintballs through the
interior passageway and into the outfeed tube where they replenish the paintball
stack. When the stack is fully replenished, the sensor will detect the presence of
a paintball at the specified location and deactivate the motor, thereby stopping
the paddle. If the loader includes a channel, an elongated top wall of a
directional plug prevents paintballs from dropping into a open top end thereof.
