Patent EP-1387084-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REGAZZI GIANNI
IPC: F02P3/04
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: An inductive ignition system for low powered
internal combustion engines comprises a voltage
generator (10) having a magnetic circuit (16)
linked with an ignition coil (17,18) connected to a
spark plug (CD). The voltage generator (10)
periodically produces alternating voltage signals (VL)
each comprising a first and a second half wave (S1,S2)
of a first polarity, and an intermediate half wave (S3)
of opposite polarity. The voltage signals are used in a
differentiated way to supply a microprocessor (Q1) of
an ignition control circuit (21), with event signals
correlated to the polarities of the voltage half waves
(S1,S2,S3), and to the rotational speed and direction
of rotation of the engine. The microprocessor (Q1) is
programmed to control the flowing of the current (IL1)
through the primary winding (17) of the ignition coil
(17,18) during the second voltage half wave (S2) of
each voltage signal (UL), at the starting, and during the
intermediate half wave (S3) during the running of the
engine, to generate ignition sparks at differentiated
advance angles.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for using explicit initialization vectors in
both encryption and decryption processing. In one example, a sender generates an
initialization vector, identifies cryptographic keys, encrypts data using the
initialization vectors and the cryptographic keys, and transmits the encrypted data in a
packet along with the initialization vector. A receiver identifies cryptographic keys,
extracts the initialization vector from the received packet, and decrypts the encrypted
data using the cryptographic keys and the initialization vector extracted from the
received packet.

a second transistor connected in series, and a compensation circuit including a third
transistor and a fourth transistor connected in series. In the clocked inverter, gates of
the third transistor and the fourth transistor are connected to each other, drains of the
third transistor and the fourth transistor are each connected to a gate of the first
transistor, sources of the first transistor and the fourth transistor are each electrically
connected to a first power source, a source of the second transistor is electrically
connected to a second power source, and an amplitude of a signal inputted to a source of
the third transistor is smaller than a potential difference between the first power source
and the second power source.

Abstract: A thermostatic expansion valve (10) controls a flow of refrigerant. The
valve (10) includes a body (46) defining a fluid chamber (44). A refrigerant
inlet (54) is defined within the body (46). The inlet (54) communicates with the
chamber (44) such that the refrigerant can flow through the inlet (54) and into
the chamber (44). First and second outlets (56, 42) are defined within the body
(46). The first outlet (56) communicates with the chamber (44) such that the
refrigerant can flow from the chamber (44) to an evaporator (20) during normal
and low refrigerant charge. The second outlet (42) communicates with the
chamber (44) such that the refrigerant can flow from the chamber (44) to a
compressor (14) during low charge. A moveable needle (62) controls the flow
of the refrigerant into and out of the body (46). A notch (80) is defined within
the needle (62) such that, during low charge, the refrigerant that flows into the
chamber (44) can flow to the second outlet (42) and to the compressor (14)
without flowing through the evaporator (20).

Abstract: A retortable container and an easy-opening closure for hermetic sealing of
an open end thereof. The closure includes a metal end ring adapted to be double
seamed to an open end of the retortable container, an intermediate area extending
radially inward and defining an opening to an interior of the container, and a folded
area folded into the interior of the container. The folded area extends radially
outward from the opening and substantially parallel to at least an adjacent portion
of the intermediate area. A first membrane patch overlaps and is bonded to an
under side of the intermediate area of the end ring such that the first membrane
patch prevents contamination of contents of the container by the metal end. A
second membrane patch covers the opening and is bonded to an upper side of the
first membrane patch. The bonds have predetermined shear and tensile force
strengths sufficient to withstand shear and tensile forces created during retort
processing of the container, while allowing easy-opening of the container by
peeling the second membrane patch.

Abstract: Multiple level interconnect structures and methods for fabricating the interconnect structures are disclosed. The interconnect structures may contain an interconnect line (112), an electrolessly deposited metal layer (114) formed over the interconnect line, a via (124) formed over the metal layer, and a second interconnect line (124) formed over the via. Often the metal layer contains a cobalt or nickel alloy and provides an etch stop layer for formation of an opening corresponding to the via. The metal layer may provide protection to the underlying interconnect line and may replace a traditional protective dielectric layer. The metal layer is conductive, rather than dielectric, and provides a shunt for passage of electrical current between the via and the interconnect line. Similar metal layers may also be used within the interconnect structures as via liner layers (122) and via plugs.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un amplificateur optique à base de semi-conducteurs utilisant une dispersion stimulée à pompage optique. Ce dispositif comprend une source de signal optique (pompe) et un coupleur sélectif de longueurs d'ondes. Ce coupleur, qui est monté de façon à recevoir un signal optique d'entrée ainsi que le signal de pompage, donne en sortie les signaux combinés dans un guide d'ondes à noyau semi-conducteur. L'intensité du signal de pompage est choisie de façon qu'il se produise une dispersion stimulée lorsque le signal de pompage se propage dans le noyau semi-conducteur. De plus, la longueur d'ondes du signal de pompage est choisie de façon que la dispersion stimulée provoque l'émission d'un signal à longueur d'ondes décalée telle qu'elle puisse être sensiblement égale à la longueur d'ondes du signal d'entrée optique. Il en résulte une amplification du signal d'entrée au fur et à mesure de la propagation avec le signal de pompage. Cet amplificateur peut être placé entre des miroirs pour former un laser.

Abstract: A radio-frequency amplifier is provided. The radio-frequency amplifier includes a transistor having an input terminal, an output terminal, a control terminal, and a transconductance gm. A series-connected feed-through resistance Rf and feed-through capacitance Cf is connected in parallel with the input terminal and the output terminal of the transistor. A load resistance RL is connected to the output terminal. The control terminal of the transistor is biased at a fixed voltage. Part of the transistor noise follows the looped path through the feed-through resistor instead of passing on to the load, which reduces the noise figure of the amplifier.
