Date Oct. 15, 1992.A multiport repeater for a data network operating on a CSMA or CSMA/CD protocol, for example an Ethernet local area network, has signals transmitted from port to port via a crosspoint switch or other appropriate switching means. The destination address of each incoming data frame is read and compared with a stored table to determine which port or ports the frame needs to be transmitted to, and the switching means is then operated to cease transmitting the frame unnecessarily to other ports. The remaining ports are thus returned to an idle state, and a second frame overlapping with the first can be received and retransmitted provided it does not require any of the ports that are in use in transmitting the first frame. If the second frame does require one of the ports that are already in use, then a collision signal is returned and the source station will stop transmission in the normal way, after which the switching means is reset to respond appropriately when the source station re-tries (or another signal is received).

Abstract: Coin discrimination apparatus such as a coin validator includes a pair of coils (6a, 6b) on opposite sides of a coin rundown path (4), which are selectively energised to carry out a sequence of inductive tests on a coin as it passes between the coils. The resultant inductive coupling of the coils is monitored for each test. In a first test, both coils are energised in phase. In a second test, the coils are energised in anti-phase. For a third test, coil (6a) is energised individually. In a fourth test, coil (6b) is energised individually. For a fifth test, coil (6b) is energised as a transmitter and the inductive coupling to coil (6a) is monitored. Alternatively the fifth test can be performed by a separate coil pair.

Date Nov. 12, 1992.An etching solution for etching away a metal layer from a substrate includes a hydrogen-containing compound that dissolves the metal layer while developing hydrogen; and a nitrosubstituted organic compound having a nitro group which is easily hydratable and which has at least a 1/3 nitro group equivalent per mole of the hydrogen developed by reaction between the hydrogen-containing compound and the metal layer until the metal layer is dissolved completely. A method for etching employs the etching solution into which the substrate is immersed. The process of preventing the release of hydrogen gas during the etching away of a metal layer from a substrate is taught and includes employing an etching solution containing one of an acid or a highly basic metal hydroxide; and adding to the etching solution an organic nitro compound which is soluble in water and which is easily hydratable.

Abstract: Un agencement de photodétecteurs produit un signal électrique sensible à la position d'une source de lumière en utilisant un masque (15) situé à une hauteur prédéterminée au-dessus d'une pluralité de photodétecteurs (D1,1), (D1,2), (D2,1), (D2,2), de telle façon que, à mesure que le soleil se déplace par rapport à l'appareil, une ombre, sensible à la position du soleil, est projetée. Un appareil, fabriqué conformément à l'invention, comporte une pluralité de photodétecteurs, chacun présentant une surface respective pratiquement plane photosensible permettant de recevoir la lumière du soleil sur un éventail de positions prédéterminé. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré où l'on recherche la compacité, les surfaces planes photosensibles sont disposées de manière sensiblement coplanaire les unes par rapport aux autres. Le masque à lumière possédant des sections opaques (16) et transparentes (17) est disposé de façon à recouvrir les surfaces pratiquement planes photosensibles afin de déterminer la caractéristique de sensibilité à la position de l'appareil. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un diffuseur est interposé entre le masque à lumière et les photodétecteurs. Les caractéristiques de réponse de l'appareil peut être déterminée par analyse géométrique, ou de manière empirique en utilisant des valeurs qui peuvent être conservées dans une table à consulter.

Abstract: Le dispositif présente au moins deux tiges oscillantes mutuellement espacées et fixées sur une membrane dont le bord est relié à une pièce vissée. Sur le côté de la membrane opposé aux tiges oscillantes, une vis de serrage est fixée à la membrane de telle manière que cette vis de serrage et cette membrane prennent l'une par rapport à l'autre une position dans laquelle les axes de symétrie coïncident. La vis de serrage est entourée d'un empilement d'éléments piézo-électriques, d'anneaux d'électrodes et d'anneaux isolants circulaires. L'empilement forme le transformateur d'excitation et de réception du dispositif. Le transformateur d'excitation et de réception en forme d'empilement est serré et maintenu entre la membrane et un écrou hexagonal. L'empilement s'appuie par l'anneau métallique terminant l'empilement sur un épaulement entourant la membrane et espacé par rapport à celle-ci. La force de serrage est choisie de telle manière que la membrane subisse simultanément une précontrainte lui donnant une forme concave. Le transformateur d'excitation excite les tiges oscillantes, provoquant des oscillations de sens opposé, à leur fréquence de résonance propre, transversalement par rapport à leurs axes longitudinaux. Le transformateur de réception détecte une modification du mode d'oscillation des tiges oscillantes qui est utilisée pour constater et/ou contrôler le niveau prédéterminé. A cet effet, on peut employer aussi bien la variation de la fréquence d'oscillation que celle de l'amplitude d'oscillation des tiges oscillantes.

Abstract: To permit the crushing with a small amount of force of an empty can (3) which is open at the top and has a bottom (18), provision has been made for two force transmission elements (11, 13), which are connected to an actuating element (10), and a support (2) to be present, the said support (2) supporting a can (3) in the region of a circumferential line around its exterior. The first force transmission element (13) can be moved along a working path (15) towards the operating region (4) of the support (2) and/or away from the latter. During an advancing movement, it exerts a diametrical force component acts externally on the outside surface of a can (3) held by the support (2). The second force transmission element (11) reciprocates simultaneously or with some delay along a second path (16). During an advancing movement, it exerts a moment which is directed from outside towards the can floor (18) and towards the supported circumferential region, in such a way that the can floor (18) is pivoted about the buckling indentation which was created by the first element (13) in the outside surface of the can. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Digital video signals are adaptively compressed for communication to a receiver. Superblocks (230), each containing a plurality of blocks (232) of digital video data, are compressed using PCM, DPCM with a general motion vector for the entire superblock, and DPCM with a specific motion vector for each block contained within a superblock. The result of each compression mode is compared (58) after accounting for overhead data, to determine which results in the least amount of data for each block (232). These blocks are assembled into a superblock (230), and compared (80) together with necessary overhead and motion vector data to the same superblock processed using all PCM as well as the superblock processed using all DPCM. The comparison determines which compression mode produces the least amount of data for the superblock. The most compact superblock is selected for transmission. The transmitted superblocks are decoded by a decoder (Fig. 5) that recovers the necessary motion vectors and overhead information which identifies the type of compression used to provide the superblock. <IMAGE>
