Patent EP-0365028-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04B10/07
Filed: 1989-10-20
Abstract: After mixing the signal light and the local 
oscillation light with a mixing circuit (21), two inter­
secting polarization components are divided by a 
polarization splitter (23) and respective components are 
subjected to heterodyne detection by optical receivers 
(24, 25). Thereafter, in an electric signal stage, the 
intermediate frequency signals outputted from the optical 
receivers (24, 25) are applied to a 90-degree hybrid 
coupler (26) and the output signal from one of the output 
ports is demodulated by a demodulator (27). On the other 
hand, intermediate frequency signals outputted from the 
optical receivers (24, 25) are subjected to a subtraction 
to provide a principal axis angle monitor signal for the 
signal light. The signal outputted from the output port 
from the 90-degree hybrid coupler (26) is used to monitor 
the eiliptic ratio of the signal light and these monitor 
signals are applied to the polarization control circuit 
(29). The polarization control circuit drives the 
polarization operation apparatus (20) based on said 
monitor signal to control the polarization state (i.e. 
a principal axis angle and the elliptic ratio) of the 
signal light to achieve the optimum state.

Title: Soft magnetic alloy films and the method of manufacturing the same
IPC: H01F10/13
Filed: 1989-12-13
Abstract: A nitrogen-containing Fe-based soft magnetic 
alloy suitable for use as the material of a magnetic 
head core, as well as a method for manufacturing the 
soft magnetic ally film. Unlike a mere nitride alloy 
film, the soft magnetic alloy of the present invention 
has a compositionally modulated structure in which at 
least the nitrogen content is periodically modulated in 
the direction of thickness of the film so as to have a 
nitride layer rich at least in nitrogen and a non-­
nitride layer poor at least in nitrogen. The soft 
magnetic alloy film of the invention comprises a main 
constituent of Fe, at least one metalloid element 
selected from the group consisting of B, Si and C, and 
at least one metal element selected from the group 
consisting of Nb, Ta, Zr and Ti and has fine Fe-based 
grains included therein. By virtue of these film struc­
ture and film composition, the soft magnetic alloy film 
of the invention exhibits superior magnetic character­
istics such as low coercive force, high saturation 
magnetization and low magnetostriction, as well as 
superior resistance both to corrosion and wear. The 
method of the invention is for forming the soft magnetic 
alloy of the invention, and has the steps of forming by 
sputtering a compositionally modulated nitride ally 
film, and then effecting on the compositionally modu­
lated nitride alloy film a high-temperature heat treat­
ment so as to cause a change in a film structure to form 
the soft magnetic alloy film.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the conversion of virtual to physical memory addresses in a digital computer system
IPC: G06F12/10
Filed: 1990-01-30
Abstract: In the field of high speed computers it is common 
for a central processing unit to reference memory 
locations via a virtual addressing scheme, rather than by 
the actual physical memory addresses. In a multi-tasking 
environment, this virtual addressing scheme reduces the 
possibility of different programs accessing the same 
physical memory location. Thus, to maintain computer 
processing speed, a high speed translation buffer 30 is 
employed to perform the necessary virtual-to-physical 
conversions for memory reference instructions. A 
translation buffer fixup unit 52 is employed to update 
the translation buffer 30 with the most recently accessed 
physical memory locations. Therefore, subsequent virtual 
memory references to these same locations are quickly 
processed without reference to the much slower main 
memory 14. The translation buffer fixup unit 52 consists 
of a state machine 66 controlling hardware specifically 
designed for the purpose of updating the translation 
buffer 30. These translation buffer updates are 
performed immediately after a "miss" is detected by 
stalling the translation buffer 30 to prevent subsequent 
conversions until the update is completed.

Patent EP-0435853-A3 (EP)
Title: Disk format for secondary storage system
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1982-10-04
Abstract: In a disk type mass storage facility for data processing systems, a disk format which improves handling of defective segments of medium and reduces access time. The format has three layers. A first, physical layer comprises the bytes, sectors and collections of sectors, as well as error detection and correction codes. A second, logical layer is used to address the physical layer and to collect together sectors to form multiplicity of separately addressable spaces, with space having a distinct functional utility. As a third, functional layer the use of data fields in each space is specified. This layer governs the handling of bad blocks if required, and the use of certain format information. At the physical layer, bits are collected into sectors, sectors are collected into tracks, tracks are collected into groups, and groups are collected into cylinders. These are logically, rather than physically, defined collections. A group is set of tracks wherein individual tracks in a group can be selected in the inter-sector rotation time. At the logical layer, the disk is divided into three main areas, each separately addressable. The first main area is broken down into two sub-areas. The first sub-area (12) is available to the host computing system for its use; the second sub-area (14 and 16) is used for replacement of the bad blocks. The second is for format information. The third main area (18) is for diagnostics. Handling of bad blocks is controlled by a hierarchically layered process. A portion of each disk, distributed across the medium, is reserved as spare sectors to replace defective sectors. After a bad sector is replaced, future attempts to access the bad sector are redirected (i.e., revectored) to the replacement sector. For the simplest revectoring, the bad block is replaced by a replacement block in a known location. If that cannot be done, multiple copies of the replacement block's header are stored in the bad block's data field and the copies are compared to find the replacement address. If the comparison fails, or the header cannot be read, a back-up table is available to match the available replacement addresses with the original address which was replaced. A special code is used to identify blocks wherein the medium is good but the contents of the block are logically corrupted. <IMAGE>

Title: Laser diode emitter
IPC: H04B10/14
Filed: 1991-06-18
Abstract: In laser diode transmitters for bit rates in the gigabit range, there exists the serious problem of impedance-matching the laser module over a broad frequency range with the laser driver via a waveguide. When the laser driver is terminated with a terminal resistor, division of the modulation current occurs and thereby a reduction in the modulation of the laser diode. According to the invention, the terminal resistor is replaced by a line network which has characteristic impedance shifts and thus produces reflections in the modulation current which, with suitable dimensioning, are added inversely to the reflections of the laser module to form a zero product. <IMAGE>

Title: Multiphase switching system and generator system with the same
Inventor: WIDENHORN LEONHARD
IPC: H02P9/08
Filed: 1993-03-24
Abstract: In the case of the multiphase switching system (1), each (for example L3) of the phase conductors is arranged in the course of a generator output line (2), which is arranged between a generator (7) and a mains power supply transformer (8), together with a switching apparatus, separated from the other phase conductors, in encapsulation (5) which is insulated by air gaps. This switching system should be able to cope with virtually all the switching, protection and measurement functions occurring in a generator arrangement, despite having a compact and space-saving construction. This is achieved in that the switching apparatus (three position interrupter switch 10) has at least two switching points. A first of these two switching points is arranged between the generator (7) and an output, which acts on the mains power supply transformer (8), of the switching system (1). A second is, in contrast, located between the generator (7) and a power connection (20) to a starting device (21) which is located outside the encapsulation (for example 5) and acts on the generator (7) when the first switching point is open and the second is closed. In the case of a generator arrangement which is equipped with such a switching system (1), it is possible to save a load interrupter switch or interrupter switch (circuit breaker) used for connecting power from the starting device (21) to the generator (7). <IMAGE>
