Abstract: The D/A converter comprises a bias circuit (10) including a series circuit of the drain-source of a bias FET (Q A ) and a bias resistor (10b) connected between a power source terminal (Vcc) and a reference potential point. The bias circuit includes a negative feedback amplifier (10a) having a same phase input terminal (10c) to which a reference voltage is supplied and an inverted phase input terminal connected to a junction between the source of the bias FET (Q A ) and the bias resistor (10b). An output terminal of the negative feedback amplifier (10a) is connected to the gate of the bias FET (Q A ). A digital to analog converting section (11) includes a plurality of constant-current source FETs (Q₁...Q n ) having a current value substantially equal to the current value of the bias FET (Q A ) of the bias circuit (10). The digital to analog converting section further includes a plurality of current switches (S₁...S n ) for selectively supplying currents of the constant-current source FETs (Q₁...Q n ) to an output terminal (11c) in response to a digital input signal. By means of this circuit the amplitude value of the output signal can be controlled accurately. A load resistor (11b) is connected to the output terminal (11c) to produce an analog output voltage. The resistance value of the bias resistor (10b) is set to 2 n -1 times the resistance value of the load resistor (11b) so that the full scale voltage at the output terminal becomes substantially equal to the reference voltage, n being a number of bits of the digital input signal. Thus, the maximum amplitude value (full scale value) of an output signal can be set accurately.

Abstract: A system for using a flying spot scanner of one scan density to produce rasters of a different density in the process direction by using a fractional number of scans per raster. In the usual case, where m scans (13 to 20) will be used to create n rasters (21 to 23), the number of scans m will normally be greater than the number of rasters n. Then, there will be m/n scans per raster. This will necessitate dividing some scans into two parts, the first part of the scan being used to scan the video data of the previous raster and the second part of the scan being used to scan the data of the next raster. Therefore, a circuit for switching data to each scan from one line of data to the next as the scan transitions (24, 25) from one raster to the next is required in this system. A process direction encoder can be used to determine when the raster boundaries are reached, and therefore when the data is to be switched.

Abstract: The device (1) serves as hand-held personal navigation system for locating predetermined objects at their stored locations. In one embodiment, the device comprises a flat display (52) on which appears information (e.g. a symbol designating the object) at a position on the screen corresponding to where that object is relative to the device. 
     The position of the device is determined by a position sensor (3), e.g. an inertial device or a telemetry receiver cooperating with reference signal sources. The position of the object to locate is known from an initial recording of its position, and the position of the device relative to that object is calculated by a controller (6). Preferably, the recording is obtained by a bar code reader (4) that reads identification data on the object at its location. These data are recorded in a memory together with the position of object, as determined by the sensor (3).

Abstract: 2.1. In hinged-lid packages comprising a package part (12) and a lid (13) hinged to the rear wall (15) of the package, the problem consists in the precise closed position of the lid (13). This applies, above all, to hinged-lid packages with rounded longitudinal edges (10, 11). …<??>To produce an additional closing force, outwardly directed deformations, namely convex curves (38) are formed in the free part in the region of side walls (28, 29) of a collar (26). These deformations rest against the insides of the lid side walls (17) with increased friction and thus with production of an increased closing force. …<??>2.2. The deformation of the collar side walls (28, 29) is achieved in that longitudinal edges (30, 31) of the collar are formed so as to diverge towards the free edge. Due to a material constriction, this results in the deformation of the collar side walls (28, 29). …<??>2.3. As a further or alternative closing aid, an upright or oblique incision (39) is introduced in the region of the collar side walls (28, 29). This incision produces a projecting holding edge due to the convex curve (38). Said holding edge likewise rests against the inside of the side walls (28, 29) of the package, producing an increased closing force. …<??>2.4. Furthermore, the package or the blank is designed in a particular manner, such that rounded contours fit together at the ends of the blank, engaging one another, and can be separated from a piece of material without waste. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of fabricating a virtual ground EPROM cell in a silicon substrate of P-type conductivity. In accordance with the method, a gate oxide layer is formed on the silicon substrate. This is followed by the formation of a first layer of polysilicon (poly 1). Next, a composite structure comprising oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) is formed on the first polysilicon layer. Next, a photoresist mask is used to define parallel lines of ONO/poly 1. After etching the ONO/poly 1 to define the parallel lines, an arsenic implant is performed while keeping the photoresist mask in place to define N + bit lines between the lines of ONO/poly 1. After the photoresist is stripped from the parallel lines of ONO/poly 1, an oxidation step is performed to complete the oxidation of the ONO and to simultaneously grow a differential oxide between the lines of ONO/poly 1. In the subsequent etching of the ONO/poly 1 lines in a stacked etch procedure, the differential oxide overlying the N + bit lines protects the underlying substrate, thus avoiding interruption ("digging") of N bit lines in the EPROM array.
