Abstract: In a phase-change recording medium, a recording medium is provided with a barrier layer including Ge-N, Ge-N-O between a recording layer and a dielectric protective layer in order to prevent a chemical reaction and an atom diffusion between the recording layer and the dielectric protective layer. A barrier material can be also applied to the protective layer itself. Thereby, it is possible to considerably suppress a reduction of a reflectivity and a reduction of a signal amplitude due to the repeat of recording and erasing, such reductions being observed in a conventional phase-change optical information recording medium, and thereby the number of overwriting times can be increased . <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bimorph piezoelectric flapper element is mounted at one end in a valve casing so that it extends into a valve chamber as a cantilever. The flapper element tapers to the unsupported end on which a fluorosilicone blocking plate is mounted. An outlet port is formed by a tubular boss which projects into the valve chamber and which tapers to a fine annular rim formed around a mouth of a bore at the tip of the boss. The blocking plate is normally held by the flapper element seated on the tip of the tubular boss to close the outlet port, the tip making an indentation in the fluorosilicone whereby to form a 'bite' seal. The blocking plate is unseated by the application of a low voltage to the bimorph piezoelectric element. The valve is suitable for hydraulic fluids and may be operated by optical power.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for deriving an approximate Doppler for a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver from an approximate location which is obtained from a cellular communication system information source. In one embodiment, an approximate location of the SPS receiver is derived from the information source and this approximation location is used to determine approximate Dopplers to a plurality of SPS satellites at a given time. The approximate Dopplers are then used to reduce processing time in either determining pseudoranges to the SPS satellites or acquiring signals from the SPS satellites. In another aspect of the invention, a reference signal is used to provide a local oscillator signal which is used to acquire SPS signals in an SPS receiver. This reference signal is extracted from a data signal modulated on a carrier frequency. The data signal on the carrier frequency is transmitted from, in one example, a wireless cell site which is communicating with the SPS receiver which has a cellular based communication receiver.

Abstract: Communications cable is routed within horizontal pathways between the structural ceiling and drop ceiling to a fire-resistant cabinet mounted between the ceilings. Communication cable switching and termination equipment is carried by the cabinet for providing a consolidation point and cross-connect location for both copper wire and optical fiber cables serving work stations within an open office architecture. The cabinet includes an access door opening into a room below the drop ceiling for providing user access to the equipment. The door lies within the drop ceiling plane when in the closed position. A removable equipment mounting plate is carried by the cabinet for lowering the equipment below the drop ceiling when the door is in the open position. Cabinet fire-resistant side wall penetrations permits the communications cable routed between the ceilings to enter and exit the cabinet for connection with the communications cable switching and termination equipment. With the use of the cabinet, the amount of communication cable required to service work stations in an open office architecture is greatly reduced.
