Abstract: A decoupling ring (10) provided on the front annular
face (20) of the nose shell of a craft, surrounding the sonar
array (18). This ring (10) decouples the vibration in the nose shell
from the fluid path. The decoupling ring (10) is
constructed of one or more mass elements (12) on one or more
compliance elements (14). The individual compliance elements (14)
are preferably vibrationally speaking springs and the mass
elements (12) are preferably metal segments which form a mass-spring
system. The dimensions and characteristics of the
mass and compliance rings are chosen to have a fundamental
resonant frequency well below the sonar frequency range of
interest, thus acting as a low pass filter. When the
vibrational energy has a frequency above the resonant
frequency of the mass spring system, the vibrational
energy is attenuated effectively. The low frequency
resonance of the decoupling ring is obtained by using a
large mass and a large compliance in the mass and
compliance elements, respectively.

Abstract: An RF detector circuit (28), which may be utilized in an output
power control loop (10) for an RF transmitter, includes a bridge circuit
(50) including a first arm (52) containing a first diode (D2) which
rectifies the RF signal and a second arm (54) which contains a second
diode (D3) series-coupled to the first diode (D2), and having an RF
bypass capacitor (C4). The second diode (D3) serves as a temperature
compensator for the first diode (D2). The outputs of the bridge circuit
(50) are connected to the inputs of a differential amplifier circuit (32)
which provides a signal for use in the power control loop (10). The
detector input signal is derived from the sense output of a directional
coupler (22). In a second embodiment the compensating diode (D13) has
its cathode coupled to the cathode of the rectifying diode (D12), and the
full voltage across the rectifying diode (D12) is applied to the differential
amplifier circuit (32).

IPC: G06F9/48

Abstract: Interrupts are presented to a processor to indicate the arrival of data
packets from a high speed network. The rate of packet arrival interrupts is
modulated to prevent burdening the processor unnecessarily with repeated
interrupts while receiving a burst of data. The interrupt modulator of the present
invention ensures that the first packet of a new data burst, or the first packet of a
short message, generate an immediate interrupt to the processor, thus avoiding
any unnecessary latency in the processor's response. This is done by enabling
a packet arrival to generate an interrupt if a specified period of time has elapsed
since the previous interrupt. Further, the interrupt modulator ensures that every
N'th packet that arrives generates an interrupt -- for example, to ensure that the
processor performs any memory management functions that may be required.
A packet does not generate an interrupt if it arrives soon enough after the
previous interrupt and it is not the N'th packet since the pervious interrupt. This
lowers the interrupt rate due to the arrival of a burst of data, thus enhancing
processor and system performance.

IPC: H01S3/10

Abstract: A high power laser source having a preselected broad bandwidth,
including a master oscillator providing a single-mode laser beam, a resonant electro-optical
modulator and a source of radio-frequency (rf) modulation voltage, to produce
a modulator output beam having sidebands spaced on each side of the nominal frequency
of the single-mode laser beam. The bandwidth and the number of modes may be varied
by controlling the voltage applied to the modulator. At least one additional modulator
in series with the first provides for the addition of other sidebands overlaying those
generated with just one modulator. In another embodiment of the invention, the
modulator is installed in a PC MOPA (phase conjugated master oscillator power
amplifier) configuration to provide modulation only on the return path of the beam from
a phase conjugation device having a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) medium.
Because the electro-optical modulator is sensitive to polarization direction, it can be
oriented to be effective only for the return beam, which has a different direction of
polarization from that of the single-mode laser beam, thus optimizing the performance
of the SBS medium.

Abstract: In a radio transmitter, an amplifier, a resonator and an
antenna together form an oscillation loop. The oscillating
energy of the oscillation loop is efficiently emitted from
the antenna as a radio wave. Most of the oscillation power
of the oscillation loop is supplied to the radiation
resistance of the antenna because the transmitter has no
components outside the loop which may consume the
oscillation power.

Abstract: The method of this invention prevents transient currents at
high-frequency disable cycles and disables DC current paths
after a minimum delay time, thereby reducing power dissipation.
This invention includes a delay circuit functioning to prevent
disablement of DC paths where chip-disable times occur at
intervals below a minimum duration. The result is a decrease in
the number of undesired voltage drops on internal power buses
due to transient currents. The method detects external chip-disable
pulses that occur before a minimum time duration, then
prevents those pules from powering down internal direct-current
paths. At the same time, the output driver high impedance
functionality of the chip-disable signal is preserved.

Abstract: A controller (3) receives a signal indicating the
temperature of a print head (1) from a head temperature detection
thermistor (2). The controller sets a cooling time for the print
head based on a time in which the temperature of the print head
increase from a first temperature to a second temperature and
an environment temperature detected by an environment
temperature detection thermistor. When the temperature of the
print head exceeds the second temperature due to excessive heat
accumulation therein, printing and movement of the print head
are suspended for the cooling time immediately after completion
of printing of one or a plurality of bands at a position where
the print head is located at that time. Thus, the temperature
of the print head is decreased.

Abstract: A system for avoiding exceptional conditions during execution of a program comprises an

program comprises an instruction stream comprising a series of instructions, and the execution
environment includes an exceptional condition detector for detecting at least one predetermined type
of exceptional condition in connection with execution of each instruction in the instruction stream.
The fix-up code generation subsystem is responsive to detection by the execution environment of an
exceptional condition of the predetermined type in connection with execution of an instruction in the
instruction stream for generating fix-up code which, when processed, would avoid the exceptional
condition ofthat predetermined type, and substitutes the fix-up code in the instruction stream for the
instruction in the instruction stream for which the at least one exceptional condition was detected.
As a result, if the instruction which gave rise to the exception is in a loop or the like, instead of the
instruction being processed, the fix-up code will be processed, which will avoid the exception
condition.
