Abstract: In a switching regulator, the output voltage (UA) is regulated to be constant in normal operation, in that the duty ratio or the repetition frequency of the control pulses for its actuating element (T) is varied as a function of the output voltage (UA). If the switching regulator is overloaded, there is no disconnection but a reduction in the power output as a result of regulating the switching regulator input voltage to a constant value. As a result of these measures, a switching regulator which is operated especially via line resistances (RL) can continue to operate without interruption even in the event of an overload. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An implantable programmable pacemaker (10) includes a sensor (44) for measuring oxygen saturation levels in blood on a periodic basis, e.g., every 15 seconds, while the pacemaker (10) is operating in its programmed mode of operation. The energy of stimulation pulses generated by the pacemaker (10) is automatically adjusted, as required, in order to maintain a prescribed level of oxygen saturation in the blood. At least a minimum level of oxygen saturation is presumed when the stimulation pulses are of sufficient energy to effectuate capture. Hence, the oxygen saturation level is monitored to provide an indication of whether capture has been lost, and if so, to increase the stimulation energy. In one embodiment, the stimulation energy is increased by first increasing the pulse width of the stimulation pulse a prescribed amount. After the pulse width has been increased a maximum amount, and if capture is still lost, the stimulation energy is further increased by increasing the pulse amplitude a prescribed amount. After the pulse amplitude has been increased a maximum amount, and if capture is still lost, the operating mode of the pacemaker (10) is changed, and the stimulation energy is reset to an appropriate value.

Title: Cartridge-free stacks of slide elements
Inventor: KILDAL MAURICE ALFRED
IPC: B29C65/02
Filed: 1992-12-15
Abstract: In known analyzers, test elements are supplied in the form of a stack retained in a cartridge. However, the presence of the cartridge has proved to be not entirely satisfactory due to their expense, the difficulty in determining when they are "empty", and also the problems associated with supplying lables giving the correct information relating to the test elements in a particular cartridge. Described herein is a stack of test elements which are not housed in a cartridge and a method for forming such a stack. A stack (8B) is formed of heat-fusible plastic slide elements (10B, 10'B) which are temporarily and non-destructively fused together so that the stack (8B) can be used without the need for a cartridge. Furthermore, the test elements (10B, 10'B) have one of their edges (16B) colored, the other edges (18B) remaining uncolored so that a bar code (200, 202, 204, 206) can be formed due to simple rotation of each test element in the stack (8B) prior to fusing the elements (10B, 10'B) together.

Abstract: An arrangement for protecting an integrated circuit device (11) against latch up during a nuclear event comprising a capacitance (15) and a switch (17) connected in parallel across the power supply lines (13) of the device. When the power supply lines are connected to a power supply (19) the capacitance (15) stores energy sufficient to supply necessary operating currents to the device (11) during its normal operation. The switch (17) is arranged so that, under a transient gamma pulse incident thereon during a nuclear event, its impedance is set to a low value at such a rate that the energy stored by the capacitance is discharged through the switch and the voltage applied to the device (11) via the power supply lines is pulled down to such a level and at such a rate as to prevent transient gamma pulse induced latch-up in the device (11).

Abstract: In a location system, e.g for patients in a hospital, with M portable transmitters (T₁-T M ) with respective different signal characteristics, e.g. frequencies, and N fixed antennas (A₁-A N ) for receiving the signals, the received signals for each antenna are separated from the signals received by the other N-1 antennas, and the signal strength of each signal received by each antenna is measured. The received signal strength of each antenna is processed to determine which of the antennas received the strongest signals from each of the patient transmitters. Each of the antennas may have a different modulation pattern to enable identification of which of the antennas receives which signals from the patient transmitters. The M signals received by the N antennas are separated by the frequencies of the patient transmitters with each of the separated signals being a composite signal having a single frequency and modulation components from each of the N antennas. Then the signal strength of each of the separated signals is measured, and the relative contribution to the measured signal strength from each of the N antennas is determined. Finally, the relative contribution information for each patient transmitter frequency from each antenna is processed to determine which of the antennas received the strongest signals from each of the patient transmitters to locate the patient relative to particular antennas.

Abstract: Very thin tunnel oxides are used in conventional non-volatile memories to obtain a sufficiently strong tunnelling current to or from the floating gate. Usual thicknesses of the tunnel oxide lie in the 8-10 nm range. 
The invention renders it possible to use tunnel oxides of a much greater thickness, for example of the order of 20 nm, for comparable tunnelling current values. According to the invention, the tunnelling effect is enhanced by implantation of a heavy, high-energy ion, for example As, into a comparatively thin poly layer of the oxide. During this, Si atoms are propelled from the polylayer into the oxide, so that the oxide is enriched with Si, which causes a major change in the tunnelling characteristics. The same oxide which functions as a gate oxide elsewhere may be used for the tunnel oxide. An important advantage of the invention is that direct contact between the tunnel oxide and photoresist layers necessary during the process is avoided, so that the properties of the tunnel oxide are not or at least substantially not impaired by the photoresist.

Abstract: A wide variety of call traffic is effectively integrated in a single broadband communications network. Calls having widely differing bandwidth requirements and sensitivities to delay are handled by the network with efficient, effective, and fair bandwidth allocation and transmission scheduling. This is accomplished by classifying each call in accordance with certain signal characteristics, such as required bandwidth and sensitivity to delay. Each call class is directed to a separate queuing circuit. Some calls in certain classes, such as those associated with high-bandwidth constant bit rate services, are each directed to their own individual queuing circuits. Other calls within a class are statistically multiplexed into a single queuing circuit for that class. A multiplexing circuit operates in accordance with a dynamic time slice scheme which involves defining a service cycle time period during which the multiplexer withdraws a predetermined number of information packets from each of a plurality of queuing circuits containing information packets and places those predetermined numbers of packets onto an output link. The multiplexer breaks up the cycle time period into a plurality of time slices, each of which determines how many information packets are transmitted from each queuing circuit during the cycle time period. Efficient resource usage and congestion avoidance are further achieved by using one of a number of alternative scheduling techniques for delay insensitive traffic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out an automatic braking operation. The object of the invention is to further reduce the braking distance needed for braking. The object of the invention is achieved in that the brake pressure generated on each axle in carrying out the automatic braking operation is increased to such an extent that the antilock system detects the attainment of the locking limit of at least one wheel of the axle. A reduction of the braking distance compared to the known automatic braking operation is accordingly achieved in that the brake pressure is not only increased to such an extent that one wheel of the vehicle attains the locking limit but that the brake pressure of the individual axles is increased until at least one wheel of the said axle attains the locking limit. The maximum power transmission between wheel and road surface is thereby utilised on each axle. <IMAGE>
