Abstract: The off-state leakage current, threshold voltage and on-state current of a thin-film transistor (TFT) can be degraded by operation at high drain bias voltages, e.g. above 15 volts. Such degradation is significantly reduced in accordance with the invention by forming the drain (6) as a highly-doped semiconductor electrode layer (56) on part of an intermediate lower-doped layer (55) on the semiconductor film (2) forming the TFT channel. The drain electrode layer (56) is laterally separated from the transistor channel. An area (A) of the intermediate layer (55) not overlapped by the electrode layer (56) nor modulated by the gate (4) extends from the drain electrode layer (56) towards the gate (4) so as to provide along the intermediate layer (55) a low-doped field-relief region in at least part of the area of lateral separation. The TFTs may be, for example, of the coplanar type or even of the inverted staggered type.

Abstract: The invention proposes a vertically perforated lightweight brick having a perforation pattern made up of perforations which form a plurality of perforation rows, extending in the longitudinal direction, and are separated from one another by webs (6). In order to achieve an improved coefficient of thermal conductivity and to reduce the longitudinal conduction of sound, the combination of the following features is proposed: thickness of the webs (6) </= 5 mm; ratio of the largest and smallest internal width of the perforation cross-section is between 1:1 and 1:2.5; spacing (a) of the perforation rows </= 22 mm; proportion of perforations >/= 50%; and relative density of body >/= 1.5 kg/dm<3>. Hexagonal perforations with the corners directed towards the side walls (5) and a fibrous pore-forming agent are preferable. The abutment surfaces should be configured in an essentially mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to one another, with the result that the protrusions (8) rest against one another and the depressions (9) each form a cavity (10) together.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring the environment of remote components attached to a host processor by means of a standard interface bus having a limited number of address ports. The invention includes a host adapter incorporating a standard bus repeater component and an environment monitoring component. The environment monitoring component has a standard bus interface and is selectably coupled to the standard interface bus, and hence to a host processor. The host interface transceiver is coupled by means of a standard bus to the host processor, and is also selectably coupled to a drive interface transceiver by means of the standard bus. The drive interface transceiver is coupled by the standard bus to one or more storage devices. The host adapter is selectably switchable between two modes, such that either the drive interface transceiver is coupled through the host interface transceiver to the host processor, or the environment monitoring component is coupled to the host processor. The inventive system reduces the overhead of an environment monitoring system in terms of address ports on a standard bus having a limited number of address ports. In addition, the bus repeater component of the inventive system permits doubling the cable length limit imposed on certain standard buses, thereby permitting more remote location of one or more storage devices from a host processor.

Abstract: . A tape printing apparatus having a test printing function for printing a predetermined test pattern onto a tape upon operation of an appropriate key includes a printing part, a tape width detector, a memory and a print control unit. The printing part prints the predetermined test pattern. The tape width detector detects the width of the currently loaded tape. The memory stores test pattern data by which to print any one of a plurality of different test patterns depending on the tape width detected by the tape width detector. The print control unit retrieves from the memory the test pattern data corresponding to the detected tape width upon operation of the appropriate key and causes the printing part to print the test pattern onto the tape based on the retrieved test pattern data. Because the tape printing apparatus prints the test pattern according to the width of the currently loaded tape, an operator can determine what printing is available for that particular tape.

Abstract: A digital cellular communication system provides an asymmetric speech coder for improving audio quality in the uplink channel. A high rate speech coder is provided in the uplink of the digital cellular communications system to improve the audio quality. To compensate for the higher band width consumed by this high rate speech coder, the uplink uses a channel code, such as a convolutional code, that generates fewer symbols per each input bit, thereby consuming less bandwidth. The loss of coding gain as a result of the change in the convolutional code is compensated for by applying a special power control strategy. The power control strategy increases the transmit power for transceivers using the asymmetric speech coder.

Abstract: A solid state touch or control button assembly (10), with no moving button parts and operated by capacitive sensing by monitoring the phase shift of a signal applied to the face of the button, and having a constant pressure operation. If the button surface is touched, the capacitance is changed and sensed, causing the electrical or electronic function controlled by the touch button to be activated (or deactivated, depending on the design, or otherwise altered). LEDS then are activated, providing visual feedback to the button pusher through a light ring (2A) surrounding the button surface (1). False activations by noise transients, including those due to EMI, RFI and other environmental fluctuations, are avoided by delaying the activation of the button by an appropriate amount of time, such as, for example, of the order of about one hundred (100 msec.) milliseconds.
