Patent EP-0807959-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ALLEN GARY ROBERT
IPC: H01J61/30
Filed: 1997-05-14
Abstract: A high brightness discharge light source (30) having improved thermal balance characteristics includes a lamp envelope (32) having an arch chamber (34) formed therein and a pair of electrodes (18,20) extending into opposite ends of the arc chamber (34) so as to be displaced form one another by a distance of no greater than 4mm. A fill disposed within the arc chamber is excited to a discharge state upon the introduction of an excitation energy coupled through the pair of electrodes (18,20). The light source (30) is operated vertically so that one of the electrodes (18) is disposed at the top region and the other electrode is disposed at the bottom region of the arc chamber (34). The arc chamber (34) is formed having a diameter dimension (D) which is just larger than the spacing between the electrodes (18,20), and a height dimension (H) which is approximately twice the diameter dimension (D) . The diameter dimension (D) is substantially uniform along the length of the arc chamber (34). The uniform diameter characteristic is effective so that the thermal operating properties associated with the discharge state are substantially equally distributed from the top to the bottom regions of the arc chamber (34) thereby resulting in extending the life of this light source (30) to approximately 6000 hours.

Abstract: A display adapter (20) adapts a display (84), such as a laptop display, to a
projector display panel for use with an overhead projector. The laptop display (84)
is detached from a laptop CPU (80) and physically and electronically connected to
the adapter (20). The display adapter has a parallel conductor (64) and electronic
interfacing circuitry (62) to interface the display with the computer CPU via the
parallel port of the laptop. The adapter (20) has an enclosure (22) with a central
body (24) and two extendible sleeves (26, 28) slidably mounted to the body to
move between an expanded position and a collapsed position. In the expanded
position, the sleeves (26, 28) project outward from the body (24) in opposing
directions. In the collapsed position, the sleeves (26, 28) are slid inward relative to
the body (24) toward each other to an abutting relationship. The enclosure (22)
also has two support arms (32, 34) movably mounted to the first and second
sleeves (26, 28), respectively, to move between an opened position and a closed
position. When the adapter is arranged with the sleeves (26, 28) in their expanded
position and the arms (32, 34) in their opened position, the display (84) mounts to
the adapter and is supported horizontally by the support arms a safe distance from
the projector light surface to prevent overheating. The extended sleeves (26, 28)
cover one entire side area of the projector light surface adjacent to the display to
block all peripheral bright spots left uncovered by the display. The adapter body
(24) has a recess (50) sized to hold a remote control handset (52), such as an IR
device. When the sleeves (26, 28) are extended to the expanded position, the
recess (50) is exposed to permit removal and replacement of the IR device (52).
An IR port (66) is formed in the body (24) and exposed when the sleeves (26, 28)
are extended to receive IR signals from the IR device (52).

Abstract: The method involves forming at least two narrow sections in a housing wall, thus forming two grooves along and between which a section of housing wall can be broken out. The delivery of the flowing material (29) to the housing wall (10) inside and outside the wall section which can be broken out is selected so that the material flows from both sides towards the narrowed part to form a flow seam in the narrowed regions (13,14). Preferably, the housing wall section between the narrowed regions can be separated from the housing floor. At least one bridge is used to connect the housing wall section between the narrowed regions with the floor or the housing wall outside the narrowed regions.

Abstract: This invention applies to a mobile station that is able to determine a required data rate
based on data buffer usage. If the data buffer indicates a requirement for a high data
rate transmission, the mobile station sends a request to a base station to be assigned
multiple parallel code channels. If the multiple parallel code channels are granted, the
mobile station uses the channels for transmitting data to the base station until either the
data buffer becomes empty, or a base station time-out occurs, or the mobile station is
signalled by the base station to reduce its data transmission rate, whichever occurs first.
The mobile station of this invention is enabled to autonomously control the data rate
during an assigned period for high speed transmission, so as to lower the data rate
when needed for the purpose of improving coverage and/or to avoid operating in a
power limited condition, thereby degrading link quality. The data rate is lowered by
disabling transmission though at least one parallel code channel, and subsequently
resuming transmission though the code channel when conditions warrant. This provides
a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode of operation for individual ones of
supplemental parallel data code channels.

Abstract: A tool is provided that automates and expedites the ASIC design review process by
allowing designers to perform a comprehensive asynchronous path design review
of the circuit design HDL code. The tool operates on either an entire hierarchy or
any sub-block of the circuit design. Filters are provided to allow the user to
disregard known and desired synchronization circuits from the output generated by
the tool. The tool provides an output that can take either of two formats,  i.e.  the
output may be presented in a tabular form by hierarchical signal name, or it may be
presented in a graphical, schematic block diagram form. In operation, the tool
performs an exhaustive search of all circuits and identifies any asynchronous
behavior. A user interface is provided that requires two data inputs and provides
for an additional optional field. The two mandatory fields identify the location of all
design files and the module at which the tool should begin its analysis. The tool
begins its analysis at the level of the module input and traverses the circuit design
from that point down the hierarchy to all end modules. Additional options and
inputs govern the type and format of output information generated.

Abstract: The ring laser has an active fibre (3) inside a fibre ring. The active fibre is connected via an input coupler (2) and coupler with a pumping source (1). Inside the fibre ring is an optical isolator (4), decoupler (5) and periodic filter (6) and loss filter (7). The light of the pump source is fed into one fibre (14). It is coupled by the wave length selective input coupler (2) into the fibre ring and the active fibre. The pump light has e.g a wavelength of 980 nm and pumps erbium ions which are doping in the active fibre. The produced laser light is return coupled via the ring resonator and the light oscillation on a single ring resonator mode. The periodic filter is e.g a Fabry Perot filter which forces the laser to swing/resonate in a way corresponding to the transmission maximum of the filter.

Abstract: Removal and replacement of full depth glass shelf plates may be inhibited by the fixed door interior fittings and so must be tilted into position. Tilting is made possible by having rear and front moulded supports in the sidewalls of the liner and cut out portions of the shelf sides which will pass over one of the supports on each side. A full width and full depth refrigerator shelf (20) may not pass the inside moulding of the door (50) when open at right angles but may be withdrawn to some extent so that the cut away portions (22) coincide with the front supports (44) to allow the front to be tilted but the rear is still supported on the rear supports (42). Frictional material (24), or a moulded frame (60), may partly cover the front and sides of the shelf to prevent movement during use.
