Abstract: Improved techniques for driving wordlines of a semiconductor memory device
are described. Accordingly to the invention, a wordline 402 is driven by a wordline
driver 406 at a first end and then provided with a small amount of additional circuitry
442 at the other end of the wordline. When the additional circuitry senses that the
wordline is beginning to transition to an active state, the additional circuitry operates
to assist or accelerate the transition of the wordline to the active state. Accordingly,
the invention operates to rapidly transition wordlines to an active state while using
only minimal amounts of die area. The invention is particularly well suited for dynamic
random access memories.

Abstract: The blades (38) of a gas turbine engine fan rotor
(32) are uniquely distributed in the rotor hub (48) so
that combination tone noise attributable to one or more
physical non-uniformities in the blades is mitigated.
The invention recognizes that the frequency spectrum of
the combination tone noise includes both decay prone
harmonics and decay resistant harmonics and that
allocation of acoustic energy into the decay prone
harmonics and out of the decay resistant harmonics is
effective for mitigating combination tone noise. In
particular, the blades are distributed so that the
spatial or circumferential spectrum of the physical nonuniformity
is dominated by circumferential harmonics
whose order is no greater than the order of the highest
decay prone harmonic of the combination tone noise
spectrum.

Abstract: A self-service deposit terminal (10) is arranged to
validate deposited bank notes. Each note (38) is
individually transported past an interferometer (36)
which is connected to a control unit (46). The output of
the control unit (46) is input into a data processing
means (26) which generates a value indicative of the
surface roughness of the bank note. The value of
roughness is compared with at least one stored reference
value for genuine notes. The data processing means
determines either solely on this comparison, or in
conjunction with the output from a further validation
means, whether the tested note is invalid.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring total nuclear magnetic resonance porosity of
an earth formation traversed by a borehole is sensitive to fast relaxation times that can be
associated with clay-bound water. The total porosity measurement includes, in addition to
free fluid and capillary-bound porosity, the porosity of clay-bound water and
microporosity. An oscillating magnetic field is produced within the borehole, according to a
phase alternated sequence, such as the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence or a
similar pulse sequence, to induce signals in the volume of formation which are measurable
by the NMR logging tool. A reduced echo spacing and improved signal-to-noise ratio
allows the recovery of short T 2  components. The spin echo signals are measured and a
value is determined for each signal. The signal values are separated into a first set and a
second set wherein the first set comprises the early-time echo signals and the second set
comprises the remaining echo signals. The second set of echoes are sub-divided into a
plurality of groups and a window sum value is generated for each group of the second set,
thereby producing a plurality of window sums. An attribute of the formation is determined
based upon the plurality of window sums and the value of each signal of the first set.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for compensation of diffraction of beam of an antenna system. In the preferred embodiment, the antenna system is a phased array antenna (figure 6). The present invention does so by controlling the phase front. The phase front is controlled by distributing frequencies such that the value of the frequency for a given emitter (SBM) is proportional to the distance of the emitter from the center of the antenna system. In one embodiment of the invention, the value of the frequency for a given emitter is linear, square or otherwise, to the distance of the emitter from the center of the antenna system. A phase front formed by the time spectrum is summed with a phase front created by diffraction divergence compensation.

Abstract: A travel state of a vehicle (1) is detected by a travel-state
detecting device. A lateral slip angle of a vehicle body (1) is
calculated as a first lateral slip angle in a first lateral slip angle
calculating device (16) by integrating a differentiated value of lateral
slip angle determined based on a non-linear four-wheel vehicle's motion
model. A lateral slip angle of the vehicle body is calculated as a
second lateral slip angle in a second lateral slip angle calculating
device (17) by a calculation in a linear two-wheel vehicle's motion
model. One of the first and second lateral slip angles is selected
alternatively in a selecting device (18) in accordance with the travel
state detected by the travel-state detecting device (13) such that the
second lateral slip angle is selected when the travel-state detecting
device (13) detects a state in which the vehicle is traveling
straightforwardly at a low speed. A slip angle of each of wheels is
calculated by a slip angle calculating device (19) based on the lateral
slip angle in the selecting device. Thus, the lateral slip angle of the
vehicle body (1) can be calculated with good accuracy using an
appropriate calculating equation depending on the travel state of the
vehicle (1), and the wheel slip angle can be determined with good
accuracy using the lateral slip angle of high accuracy.

Abstract: Both a method and printer are provided that utilize a single
microprocessor (17) to modulate a thermal printhead and implement all other
printing functions. In the method of the invention, the microprocessor expands
numerical image data in the form of binary numbers indicative of the color tone of
an image pixel into data bit streams. The microprocessor then stores at least a
portion of each of the data bit streams in a temporary memory (18), and sequentially
collates single bits of each of the data bit streams into a serial string of data bits
which are then loaded into a shift register (13) to modulate the thermal elements (5)
of the printhead (3). The storage of the expanded numerical image data into a
temporary memory obviates the need for the microprocessor to expand each binary
number of the image data a multiplicity of times, thereby allowing the
microprocessor to modulate the thermal printhead while freeing up its capacity to
implement all of the other necessary printing functions, thereby obviating the need
for the ASIC used to modulate the printhead in prior art printers.
