Title: Current switching digital-to-analog converter
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1986-09-09
Abstract: An n-bit current switching digital-to-analog converter of the type 
in which each weighted current I k , k=1, ..., n, of a set of n weighted currents 
has an associated current steering switch, said digital-to-analog converter 
comprises:  
a plurality of input means (201,203,205,209), each input means 
coupled to an associated current steering switch (211), each input means 
(201,203,205,209) inputting a data signal representative of one bit of an n-bit 
data word, at a predetermined data rate, to said associated current steering 
switch, said current steering switch (211) responsive to said data signal to 
conduct I k  to a first summing rail (RAIL) when the data signal is of a first 
value and to conduct I k  to a second summing rail (RAILBAR) when the data 
signal is of a second value;  
current source means (1) coupled to said current steering 
switches (211) for providing said set of n weighted currents; and  
sampling means (9) coupled to the first and second summing 
rails (RAIL, RAILBAR) for providing a first and second output (321,317), 
respectively, said first and second output (321,317) representing a sample of

Title: Subscriber connecting circuit for the connection of a subscriber line to the exchange of a digital time division multiplex communication system
IPC: H04M19/00
Filed: 1990-09-11
Abstract: At least the part (SLIC) of the circuit comprising the indication circuit for loop state recognition is disconnected in idle mode from the feed current source (-UB) for power-saving reasons. In this case, an external indication circuit (OP) is active, which is permanently connected via a balanced resistance network (R) to the wires (a, b) of the subscriber line (TL) and whose supply voltage lies below the value of the supply voltage of the subscriber connecting circuit by an amount equal to the response voltage of a common protective circuit (SS). This has no adverse effect on the transmission characteristics of the subscriber connecting circuit and reduces the risk of a false indication through response of the protective circuit due to longitudinal voltages. <IMAGE>

Title: Resin composition and multilayered structure
IPC: B32B27/08
Filed: 1990-09-28
Abstract: Provided are resin compositions comprising: 
   (A) 60 to 95% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate 
copolymer having an ethylene content of 20 to 65 mol% and a 
saponification degree of the vinyl acetate component of at least 
96%,    (B) 4.5 to 39.5% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate 
copolymer having an ethylene content of 60 to 98 mol%, and    (C) at least 0.5% by weight of a saponified product of an 
ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having an ethylene content 
of 68 to 98 mol% and a saponification degree of the vinyl 
acetate component of at least 20%,    
the incorporation ratio of (C) based on the sum of (B) and 
(C) being not more than 38% by weight.  
     The resin compositions of the present invention have 
markedly improved flexibility without deteriorating 
transparency and gas barrier properties as compared with 
conventional saponified products of ethylene-vinyl acetate 
copolymers. Multilayered structures comprising at least one 
layer of the composition have excellent resistance to 
falling shock, flexural resistance, prevention of air-back, 
skin-pack adaptability and shrink-packaging capability and 
are hence of great value for packaging various goods.

Patent EP-0399680-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01P15/09
Filed: 1990-05-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a piezoelectric acceleration 
sensor and to a piezoelectric acceleration device which use a 
film piezoelectric element (14).  
     Specifically, the piezoelectric acceleration sensor and 
the piezoelectric acceleration sensor device generate 
relatively large outputs when acceleration occurs along the 
sensing axis, but produce relatively small outputs from 
acceleration perpendicular to the sensing axis. In addition, 
the sensor and the sensor device are relatively unaffected by 
temperature fluctuations and are highly impact-resistant.

Title: Apparatus and method for time multiplexing a resource among a plurality of entities
Inventor: FRASER ALEXANDER G
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1991-02-14
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for time multiplexing a resource among a 
plurality of entities at average rates and with deterministic delays between accesses 
to the resource by an entity. An entity accessing the resource received a time slot on 
the resource; a fixed number of time slots constitute a frame. Each entry receives a 
fixed allocation of time slots in the frame. When an entity has work for the resource 
to do, it receives access to the resource for a number of slots in each frame equal to 
the lesser of the number of slots required to do the work and the number of slots in 
the allocation. A rate-controlled server is disclosed which defines a frame and 
allocations therein, as well as a hierarchy of servers which combines rate-controlled 
traffic with best traffic. In the hierarchy, a rate-controlled server activates a round-robin 
server when the entitles served by the rate-controlled server do not require all 
the slots in a frame. A hierarchy of rate-controlled servers is further disclosed which 
permits access to the resource at widely-differing average rates. In that hierarchy, a 
number of slots in the frame for a given member of the hierarchy are reserved for the 
next number down of the hierarchy and the next member down is active only during 
those slots. Further disclosed are nodes of ISDN networks employing ATM which 
incorporate the servers and hierarchies thereof.

Title: Temperature compensation means
Inventor: PETR JAN
IPC: G01R19/32
Filed: 1995-12-02
Abstract: The compensation circuit arrangement is for temperature compensation of a temperature-dependent transfer factor (KH,T.KS,T) of a sensor (2) and a coupled signal processor (3) of an Energy or Power measurement device. A transfer factor (KS,T or KF,T or KA,T) of the signal processor (3) is inversely proportional to the temperature-dependent voltage (UR,N,T) of Reference Voltage Source (4), which is positioned close to the other components and is at the same temperature. A temperature compensation value for the temperature dependent Reference Voltage (UR,N,T) is equal to the sum of the Temperature coefficient of the Transfer function (KN,T) of the sensor (2) and the temperature coefficient of the Transfer Function (KS,T or KF,T or KA,T) of the signal processor of the uncompensated Energy or Power Meter (1).

Abstract: When any one of keys other than a start key (101)
on an operation panel (114) is depressed after a
printing operation according to a background job starts
in a ready state, a system CPU (100) for controlling
all the parts of the machine sets a condition flag

Abstract: A method for selecting a color value on a digital image, initializing a color
modification tool to the selected color value, and then modifying the color value. After
selecting a color modification tool (44) such as a contrast LUT, a user selects a region on a
digital image containing the color value to be modified. The selected region is highlighted
(58), and a knot (38) corresponding to the selected color value is automatically placed on
the input/output LUT graph (36) of the color modification tool. A slide bar, (60) and a
graphic readout (62) providing the "before" and "after" values of the selected color value,
are superimposed directly on the digital image adjacent the highlighted region. The user
can then modify the selected color value by displacing the slide bar (64, 68). The digital
image, graphic readout, and the input/output LUT graph of the modification tool are
updated in response to the manipulation of the slide bar, allowing the user to immediately
visualize the affect of the color change on the digital image.
