Abstract: A method modifying the landing pitch attitude of an airplane during landing approach and touchdown is disclosed. A reference value for a predetermined flight condition parameter is subtracted from a current value of the predetermined flight condition parameter, resulting in a difference value. Based upon the difference value, a schedule determines a corresponding deflection value for a movable surface capable of producing lift. The movable surface is automatically deflected to an amount equal to the deflection value. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the predetermined flight condition parameters include approach airspeed, attitude, and angle of attack.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de compensation (fig. 2A) destiné à améliorer la précision des signaux numériques communiqués à travers un réseau numérique (113, fig. 1), par réduction des pertes venant de la quantification d'atténuation (DAQ) et de la signalisation de vols de bits (RBS). Ledit système de compensation combiné DAQ/RBS peut être utilisé dans le modem d'émission (101) connecté au réseau numérique. Un premier mécanisme d'ajustement associe une quantité de compensation DAQ à chaque segment de données numériques. Ensuite, le mot est communiqué à un convertisseur (201) linéaire-mu-linéaire, qui est configuré pour simuler une transmission numérique en codant par mu-law chaque mot de données numériques en un mot code, puis en décodant par mu-law chaque code en mot de données numériques linéaires. Le convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire comprend un système (129) de compensation RBS qui fait en sorte qu'une certaine quantité de compensation RBS soit mathématiquement combinée aux données numériques linéaires venant du convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire. Enfin, le mot de données numériques linéaires est passé du convertisseur linéaire-mu-linéaire à un convertisseur (208) linéaire-mu pour être converti en un môt de code mu-law et transmis au réseau.

quantizers to allow the quantized data thus obtained to
undergo variable length encoding to send, to the quantizing

read out from the compression factor table 12 in dependency
upon information of a desired compression factor from a

Abstract: An inductive structure for an integrated circuit. The inductor has a first turn that shields the other turns of the inductor from a proximate ground plane. Multiple turns are disposed one above another in respective metallization layers of the integrated circuit. The turns are partial loops and are electrically coupled end-to-end with vias. Predetermined ones of the turns have additional portions in different layers. An additional portion of a turn is an electrically conductive strip deposited above the turn in a higher metallization layer and electrically coupled to the turn, thereby increasing the surface area of the turn and decreasing resistance of the turn. A buried n-type loop disposed below the first turn and below the surface of the substrate shields the first turn from the capacitive effects of the substrate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles. This process comprises applying an isocyanate-reactive component to fertilizer particles, and applying an aliphatic polyisocyanate to fertilizer particles in separate steps to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles. The two reactants may be applied in either order, with the polyisocyanate being first or last. These two steps may optionally be repeated as many times as necessary to yield polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles which contain from 0.5 to 15 % by weight of polyurethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles. It is also possible to mix the isocyanate-reactive component and the polyisocyanate together to form a mixture which is then applied to the fertilizer particles. These polyurethane coatings which encapsulate the fertilizer particles are biodegradable.

Abstract: A checkerboard data pattern is written in a
semiconductor memory with a simple arrangement. First,
memory cell transistors M00-M77 are erased. A test
signal TS is turned to "L," an address ax0 to "1," write
signals D0, D2, D4 and D6 to "1." This causes "1" to be
written in the memory cell transistors even-numbered in
both the rows and columns. Then, the test signal TS is
turned to "L," an X address ax0 to "0," write signals
D1, D3, D5 and D7 to "1." This causes "1" to be written
in the memory cell transistors odd-numbered in both the
rows and columns. Thus, the checkerboard can be written
with a simple arrangement by activating only the least
significant bit ax0 of X addresses ax2-ax0.
