Abstract: The disclosure relates to a radar apparatus of the type which comprises a transmitter which substantially continuously transmits a modulated carrier wave signal, and a receiver for receiving the carrier wave signal (the echo signal) reflected against an object, and in which the carrier wave signal is modulated with an encoding signal in which one bit in the code is of a duration which is several times longer than the period time of the carrier wave signal, and in which the code of several bits forms a block which is characterized by modulation of a carrier wave with constant frequency. Furthermore, the frequency of the carrier wave is changed between the blocks, so that the transmitter transmits one block at a carrier wave frequency which is different from the carrier wave frequency or frequencies which the receiver is set to receive. A received binary coded signal is, after A/D conversion (1), supplemented with an additional value which is the measurement value with reversed sign, the measurement value or measurement value with reversed sign, respectively, being, in each time step, fed to different range bins (3), where the range bins (3) receive a sequence of measurement values, and in which the given, transmitted code unambiguously determines, for each time step, to which range bin (3) the measurement value or measurement value with reversed sign, respectively, is to be fed, the integration of inputted values in a range bin (3) providing information on a possible target in this range bin.

Abstract: Digital video signals are adaptively compressed for communication to a receiver. A plurality of block-matching motion compensators (30, 32), each using a different block size, compare current video image data to prior video image data. Video image data output from the motion compensators is compressed (14, 18), and the compressed data from each motion compensator is compared (20) to find which motion compensator results in the least amount of compressed data for a region of a current video image corresponding to the smallest of the block sizes. The compressed data having the lowest bit count is transmitted to a receiver for recovery of a motion vector. The recovered motion vector is used to recover current video image data from the transmitted data and previously received video image data.

IPC: H04B1/10

Abstract: Received TDMA signals can have greatly fluctuating levels section by section. In DC-coupled amplifier circuits, the received signals are falsified by deviations from zero (offset voltages) which occur. Conventional correction or calibration methods use control mechanisms which do not take into account the level fluctuations or an offset drift and easily lead to wrong compensation of individual signal sections. Other methods are dependent on time intervals with known mean value which are defined in the received signal. It is the object of the invention to represent a correction method and circuit arrangement which achieves a self-setting (sliding) correction value which does not greatly fluctuate, whilst at the same time avoiding wrong compensation. This is achieved by the fact that the individual time slots are selected by means of a limit value in a comparator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an N⁻ type semiconductor layer (2). The N⁻ type semiconductor layer (2) includes a triangular pole trench (10), an apex portion thereof contains a gate electrode (5). The trench (10) penetrates the semiconductor layer (2) and a P type well region (3) and projects into an N⁺ type source region (4). A source electrode (7) is disposed so as to be insulated from the semiconductor layer (2) by an oxide film (9) and in contact with the well region (3) and the source region (4). A drain electrode (8) is connected to the semiconductor layer (2) through an N⁺ type semiconductor substrate (1). With higher potential at the gate electrode (5) than at the source electrode (7), the well region (3) is partially inverted into N type near the trench (10). Thus, the semiconductor device is turned on due to a channel created associated to the conductivity type inversion. Most of current flow allowed in the semiconductor layer (2) by the channel flows near the trench (10). 
     Hence, even when process patterns are refined, electrode-to-electrode insulation remains undegraded in the semiconductor device, attaining low on-resistance and high off-breakdown voltage.

Abstract: A mixed mode controller (100) for use with a motor having a mechanism (110, 114) for generating a command signal to operate the motor and a first circuit (104) for adjusting the gain of the command signal to provide high speed operation. A second circuit (102) is provided for converting the command signal to a drive signal to excite a winding (106) and to damp the motor. In a preferred embodiment, a step rate signal introduced into the motor controller (100) is operated upon by an accumulator (110) and a memory (114) to generate a voltage command signal. The motor controller (100) includes a low bandwidth current control feedback loop (104) utilized to adjust the gain of the voltage command signal by comparing a command motor current and an actual motor current in a summer circuit (126). The feedback loop (104) provides for automatic gain control of the voltage command signal for yielding high speed operation. The gain-adjusted voltage command signal is thereafter applied to a bipolar voltage driver (102) having high motor damping characteristics. The voltage driver (102) is utilized to control the application of a bus voltage to the motor winding (106) of a stepper motor via a transistor control logic circuit (148). Also included is a time constant correction network (138) for accelerating the settling of variations in the motor current to steady state. Thus, the correction network (138) ensures a rapid response to changes in the commanded motor current.

Abstract: An improved method of producing positive photographic prints in hybrid photofinishing system employing a digital image printer to produce an intermediate negative image on a non-photographic medium wherein digital data used to print the negative includes code values simulating an orange mask effect in the negative. The improvement in the method involves a reduction in the orange mask values in the digital data so as to reduce the D-max values required for digitally printing the intermediate negative thereby reducing print cost and throughput time in the process. In a further improvement, the printer code values for pixels corresponding to full white in the final image are forced to values that print as black in the negative thereby eliminating the orange mask effect for these pixels and rendering improved rendition of full white areas in the final image print.
