Patent EP-0643355-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MESHKAT SIAVIASH N
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1994-09-06
Abstract: A method and system are provided for subdividing an arbitrarily shaped object into a collection of geometric elements ("cells") having predefined, simple topologies which facilitate further subdivision into tetrahedra, and which are well suited for further applications, such as finite element calculations. Initially, a representation of the object includes one or more regions, at least one of the regions not meeting the definition of "cell", each region having vertices, edges, and faces. An edge is selected according to a priority scheme, and slices which run through the edge and which also either run through other edges or vertices of the representation, are coplanar with other faces of the representation, or have other predetermined attributes, are considered for use in subdividing the representation. A score, which was initially calculated for the representation, is recalculated for hypothetical subdivisions of the representation incorporating each respective one of such slices. The scores are related to predetermined factors, such as the number of regions which are cells, relative to the total number of regions, the number of faces whose topologies correspond with the topologies of faces of cells, relative to the total number of faces, and factors relating to the shapes of the regions and faces. For one of the slices, the score is maximized. The representation is then subdivided, using that slice. This process is repeated until no regions of the representation remain which do not meet the definition of a cell. The method of the invention is preferably practiced using parallel processing at one or more levels. That is, either (i) different regions of the object are subdivided in parallel, (ii) for a given region, interesting slices are scored for different high-priority edges in parallel, (iii) for a given high-priority edge of a given region, interesting slices through that edge are scored in parallel, or a suitable combination thereof.

Abstract: A sampling circuit, for a digital modulation unit, with a double-output differential amplifier stage and load side connected DC-decoupled output stage with two input branches, is designed to make the i.f. output signal independent from drive voltage fluctuations, on the temp. and mixer offset voltage, as caused by static and dynamic noise variables. This is achieved by coupling each input branch (T20, R23, T31; T21, R24, T32) of the output stage (AT) by a capacitor (C3, C4) to the assigned output terminals (T9, T10) of the differential amplifier stage (M2).

Abstract: An N⁻ layer (11) of a low impurity concentration is formed on an upper major surface of an N⁺ layer (13) of a high impurity concentration in a diode (10). A P layer (12) is further formed on its upper major surface. The N⁻ layer (11) is in a multilayer structure of first to third regions (11a to 11c) having carrier lifetimes τ₁, τ₂ and τ₃ respectively. These lifetimes are in relation τ₂ < τ₁ < τ₃. Due to the large lifetime τ₃ of the third region (11c), soft recovery can be implemented. The fact that the lifetime τ₃ of the third region (11c) is large serves as a factor reducing a forward voltage V F . It is possible to attain soft recovery without increasing the forward voltage V F  by properly designing these lifetimes and thicknesses.

Abstract: The shadow mask of the tube used has several horizontal rows of holes through which the electron beams pass when writing lines on a luminous layer of the tube. The distance between the centre of two adjacent rows of holes is equal to half the hole spacing. A deflection device (4) which deflects the electron beam in the vertical and the horizontal direction has components (11,12,13) which shift the lines in the vertical direction with a shift frequency of a quarter of the hole spacing. This results in the intensity of the brightness of the luminous layer in the vertical direction being evenly distributed in the temporal component.

Abstract: A power MOSFET includes a pair of electrically isolated gates having different gate widths. The MOSFET is connected in a switching mode DC-DC converter, with the gates being driven by a pulse width modulation (PWM) control to vary the duty cycle of the gate drive signal and thereby regulate the output voltage of the DC-DC converter. In light load conditions, the larger gate is disconnected from the PWM control to reduce the gate capacitance which must be driven by the PWM control. In normal load conditions, the larger gate is connected to the PWM control to reduce the on-resistance of the MOSFET. Both of these operations increase the efficiency of the DC-DC converter.

A pressure regulator means holds the apply pressure of the engine braking frictional engagement element at a low level immediately before the application occurs for the predetermined time period, and switches the apply pressure to a steady level, at which the application is kept, if the speed change ending decision is made. On the other hand, A pressure regulator means raises the apply pressure gradually if the decision is not made.
