Patent EP-1258749-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LARSON BRENT D
IPC: G03B21/60
Filed: 1996-03-28
Abstract: An image display apparatus which employs a polarization-sensitive scattering
PSSE element. In the display, a light source is used to illuminate a panel which
modulates light in order to form an image. Positioned between the light source
and the panel is the PSSE element which acts to effectively separate light of
different polarizations. The PSSE element provides a means for recapturing light
energy which would otherwise be lost in the display, while reducing degradation
and heat build-up due to light absorption.

Abstract: A half sine wave resonant drive circuit provides a greater duty cycle range
of operation without a loss in power, particularly at higher frequencies. A
resonant circuit (32) is capacitivly coupled to a single switching device (36) to provide the
greater duty cycle range by recycling the gate charge of the switching device
through the resonant circuit. A half sine wave drive signal is thereby produced
from an input square wave signal. The driving amplitude is constant for
operation over the range of duty cycles.

Abstract: An air bag pressure control system for use in a vehicle (10) is provided.
The system comprises a housing (16), an inflatable cushion (20), and a dual
stage inflator (18). The inflator generates a quantity of inflation gas to deploy
the inflatable cushion from the housing. A vent opening (56) is formed in the
housing to selectively direct a portion of the inflation gas towards or away from
the inflatable cushion. A sensing and diagnostic module (22) detects an
activation event level. A control algorithm (112) tailors an inflation level of the
inflatable cushion during deployment according to the activation event level.

Abstract: A pressure regulating valve regulates an original pressure
outputted from a manual valve by means of a control pressure
generated by a solenoid in a D range and supplies the regulated
original pressure to an engaging element. An electronic
control unit filters a current signal supplied to the solenoid
to generate the control pressure by using a strong filter when
a N range is switched to a D range during stoppage of a vehicle
so that the control pressure has a gentle rise characteristic,
switches the filtering process to a filtering process using a
weak filter to rapidly move the pressure regulating valve in
a working pressure discharge direction when the N range is
switched to the D range during running of the vehicle and returns
the filtering process to the filtering process using a strong
filter after a predetermined time period. Thereby, occurrence
of shock is suppressed when the D range is again selected after
the N range is selected during running in the D range.

IPC: H01L29/94

Abstract: A monolithic capacitor formed on a semiconductor substrate
(201) has a large parasitic capacitance (C par ) from
the bottom plate (205) of the capacitor to the substrate.
The value of this parasitic capacitance is reduced by connecting
it in series with a smaller substrate capacitance
(C sub ). The substrate capacitance dominates the total
value, if it is much smaller than the bottom plate capacitance.
The small substrate capacitance under the monolithic
capacitor is produced by adding under the monolithic
capacitor a semiconductor well (202') of a different type
than a semiconductor substrate or body on which the
monolithic capacitor is formed. This well is either left floating
or connected with a high-value resistor to an AC
ground.

Abstract: A line driver for a LIN-bus. The line driver has a current source output transistor (T1) for pulling down the LIN-bus wire (LB) to ground (GND). The LIN-bus wire (LB) is connected to a positive supply voltage (VBAT) through a pull-up resistor (R1). The output transistor (T1) provides a ramp shaped output current, under control of a ramp generator (RG). The output current, in combination with the pull-up resistor (R1), imposes a ramp-shaped output voltage on of the pull-up resistor may vary between 500 Ohm and 1 kOhm. When the resistance is 1 kOhm, the output voltage is clamped to signal ground (GND) and a delay occurs between the edge in the data signal (TXD) and the corresponding rising ramp in the output voltage. This delay is reduced by a comparator (CMP, T2) which monitors the output voltage and which increases the slew rate of the ramp generator (RG) when the output voltage is clamped and drops below a certain threshold.

Abstract: System and method to determine the location of a receiver are provided. The received signal is decomposed into signal chunks that are then correlated with the reference signals of the transmitting sources. In some embodiments, the signal chunks may be shorter than the period of the reference signals. For each signal source, a grid of correlation values is constructed containing one column of correlation values for each signal chunk. Each column contains correlation values for several code-phases. Probes are executed in the grid to acquire the location-determining signals. In some embodiments, a probe includes calculating the fourier transform of a row in the grid, yielding correlation values associated with a refined set of frequency values. Potential acquisitions are verified by processing increasing portions of the received signal. Confirmed acquisition may be used to aid further acquisitions. Some embodiments eventually compress the received signal down to a one period duration by means of an ultra-stacking method. Additional verification, comprising multi-peak test and multi-path tests, may be performed on the correlation magnitude curve obtained from the ultra-stacked signal. Finally, refined code-phase values are extracted from these correlation magnitude curves.

Abstract: A multiplexed signal processor is described as having an input circuit for receiving multiple input signals. A modulator processes a selected input signal to produce a representative digital output. The modulator includes an integrator that integrates the difference between the selected input signal and a feedback signal representative of the digital output. A signal control circuit selects in turn by time division multiplexing each input signal for a processing period as the selected input signal, and stores the digital output and the integrator state at the end of each processing period. After an initial processing period for each input signal, each processing period begins based on the digital output and the integrator state from the end of the previous processing period for that input signal.
