Abstract: A modem (38)'s data reception rate is increased by decreasing the amplitude of the signals (34) transmitted by the modem (38). Decreasing the amplitude of the transmitted signals (34) reduces the amplitude of the resulting echoes, and thereby reduces the residual echoes that remain after echo cancellation. Reducing the residual echoes permits increasing the data reception rate. Decreasing the amplitude of the transmitted signals (34) also involves decreasing the data transmission rate; however, asymmetrical data transfer rates are acceptable for many modem applications.

Abstract: A subscriber line interface circuit is provided that includes an output stage having a pair of differential transconductance amplifiers to drive the tip and ring lines of a telephone exchange. The output stage includes circuitry that advantageously reduces the power dissipated within the integrated circuit when the subscriber loop impedance is relatively low. As a result, heat generation within the integrated circuit is reduced. Circuit reliability may therefore be enhanced and fabrication and packaging costs may be reduced. In one embodiment, an off-chip resistor is coupled from an output line of the ring line amplifier to the negative voltage rail. When the loop impedance is low, a relatively large voltage drop is established across the resistor which therefore absorbs a greater percentage of the loop current. Since the resistor is provided off-chip and diverts current that would otherwise flow through the ring-line amplifier, the overall heat dissipated within the integrated circuit is reduced.

Abstract: A cold cathode ionization gauge includes a first electrode (12) and a second electrode (20) which are spaced apart and insulated from one another and have a common axis. A magnetic field generator surrounds the gauge and applies a magnetic field along the common axis of the electrodes. The magnetic field generator includes at least one pair of opposed axially magnetized magnets (32, 34) adjacent to each other. The magnet arrangement minimizes magnetic flux outside the gauge while increasing the strength of the magnetic flux inside the gauge. The magnetic arrangement also allows the gauge to be ignited in a very high vacuum, thereby extending the operating range of the gauge.

Abstract: A process and assembly separates mixts. of particles and/or liq. droplets comprised of different substances, whose density is similar under normal conditions, but of differing compressibility. The novelty is that the mixt. is introduced together with a liquid or gaseous carrier medium into an appts. in which density of the particles and/or fluid droplets increases as a result of different compressibility. The reaction comprising the mixt. sediment to a differing degree and accumulate in different sections of the appts. from which they are removed through separate outlets. The carrier medium is pref. an aq. soln. which results in a suspension or an emulsion. Alternatively the carrier medium is a gas pref. air to produce an aerosol or dust suspension. The suspension, emulsion, aerosol or dust suspension may be generated outside the appts. into which they are then introduced and subjected to pressure and compression. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a CATV-LAN in which a plurality of modems transmit messages asynchronously from respective terminal apparatuses to an upstream transmission path and receives messages from a downstream transmission path, when a modem is transmitting a message, the resultant data which are received by that modem are compared with data of that message which have already been transmitted, and transmission is interrupted if the received data do not correctly match the transmitted data, due to conflict with data transmitted by some other modem. Each message contains information specifying its length, and when a non-transmitting modem receives a set of data whose actual length does not match a length value which is specified within the data, the data are discarded. It thereby becomes unnecessary to provide beat detection circuits in the modems, for detecting data conflict, so that system cost can be reduced.

Abstract: A threshold correcting reference voltage generator in which a capacitor is charged from a first voltage source to a voltage above the desired corrected reference voltage by means of a charging transistor controlled by a clock pulse. A metering transistor has its drain and gate electrodes connected to the capacitor either directly or through a blocking transistor. The source of the metering transistor is connected to a second voltage source which has a value below the desired corrected reference voltage. The charging transistor is then turned off and the blocking transistor, if present, turns on. Charge flows from the source to the drain of the metering transistor, reducing the capacitor voltage until the metering transistor just turns off. At this point the capacitor voltage is higher than the second voltage source by the threshold voltage of the metering transistor. This capacitor voltage is the desired corrected reference voltage; its value depends directly on the magnitude of the metering transistor threshold voltage. Finally the blocking transistor, if present turns off to isolate the capacitor. The purpose of the blocking transistor are to avoid the direct flow of current between the first and second voltage supplies when the charging transistor is turned on, and to protect the output from errors due to subthreshold conduction in the metering transistor.
