Inventor: NOWAK WILLIAM J
IPC: B41J2/44
Filed: 1993-10-15
Abstract: An imaging module mounting apparatus is provided to improve dynamic performance without creating an overconstraint condition causing misalignment of the imaging module (30). Three solid mounts (170,172,174) are used to establish and maintain critical location datums of the imaging module (30). A single or plurality of variably flexible mounts (180) are used, depending on the size of the module (30), to maintain alignment while minimizing any overconstraint condition caused by the imaging module (30) being distorted out of plane due to thermal distortion and/or static distortion of the mounting frame (40) due to movement of the machine. The variably flexible mount (180) is filled with a high-viscosity silicon polymer. Due to the high-viscosity of the medium, the mount (180) does not respond to fast or high-frequency vibration and appears to be a rigid mount with regard to such movement. The mount will react to very low frequency or static distortion such as that caused by movement of the machine and/or thermal distortion and maintain the imaging module (30) in the proper position to prevent perceptible image defects.

Abstract: A gate controlled lateral bipolar junction transistor (GCLBJT) device for an integrated circuit and a method of fabrication thereof are provided. The GCLBJT resembles a merged field effect transistor and lateral bipolar transistor, i.e. a lateral bipolar transistor having base, emitter and collector terminals and a fourth terminal for controlling a gate electrode overlying an active base region. The device is operable as an electronically configurable lateral transistor. Advantageously a heavily doped buried layer provides a base electrode having a base contact which surrounds and encloses the collector. The surface region between emitter and collector is characterised by lightly doped regions adjacent and contiguous with the heavily doped emitter and collector, which effectively reduce the base width of the bipolar transistor and improve operation for analogue applications. A threshold adjust implant in the surface of the base region under the gate electrode allows for control of threshold voltage of the surface MOS channel. Performance parameters of the bipolar transistor may be adjusted via a signal to the fourth i.e., gate, terminal, to control inversion under the gate, thereby controlling the path of carriers between the emitter and collector. Transistor performance characteristics such as common-emitter current gain, unity-gain frequency, and the low frequency noise properties are all variable quantities which can be specified electronically, i.e. they are programmable by a signal applied to the gate. Concurrent use of field effect and bipolar injection phenomenon within the same device yield the salient device characteristics. Applications include mixer and modulation circuits.

Abstract: Insertion of IFN-alpha promoters in recombinant DNAs improves their expression efficiencies for useful polypeptides. Expression of such a recombinant DNA in host cells of mammalian origin is artificially controllable by the presence and absence of external stimuli using IFN-alpha inducers. Thus transformants with such a recombiant DNA readily increase to a maximized cell density with causing neither damages nor extinction due to polypeptides they produce, and subsequent exposure to IFN-alpha inducers allows the proliferated cells to efficiently produce polypeptides with significant glycosylations.

Abstract: Input RF signals to a transponder, such as a communications satellite, are down converted (38) to a lower intermediate frequency (IF) that is common for each different channel. The channel signals are all processed at the common IF, and then up converted (44) to different respective transmission frequencies. This allows for a down conversion/signal processing/up conversion unit (CCU) design that is the same for each channel (36) (except for frequency and gain values), and facilitates the use of inexpensive available standard components as well as low bandwidth channel filters (40). An improved phase noise cancellation phase lock loop (PLL) (48) is preferably used to generate tuning signals used in the up and down conversion processes. The PLL includes two loop mixers (66,70), with the down and up conversion mixing signals taken respectively from the inputs to the first and second loop mixers. The first and second loop mixers receive mixing signals at frequencies (R-T) and (T-IF-N·CLK) respectively, where T is the channel's transmission frequency, R is its reception frequency, N is the PLL's ÷N factor, and CLK is a clock frequency; the PLL's voltage controlled oscillator (64) provides the down conversion tuning signal and the input to the first loop mixer at a frequency (R-IF), while a (T-IF) tuning signal for the up converter is taken from a filtered output of the first loop mixer.

Abstract: A track following servo system is disclosed for use with magnetic recording media 20 in which magnetic servo track 27 patterns contain transitions recorded at more than one azimuthal orientation across the width of the servo track. The timing of a signal derived from reading at any point across the width of such a pattern varies continuously as the read head is moved across the servo track. The pattern is read by a servo read head 26 whose width is small compared to the servo track pattern. The combination of a wide servo pattern and a narrow servo read head offers excellent position sensing linearity and dynamic range. In the preferred embodiment, the servo read head is also narrow with respect to the data tracks, which provides the additional advantages of superior immunity to position sensing errors caused by defects or temporal variations in the servo read head, defects in the servo pattern, wear of the head, or debris collection. Position sensing with this system is achieved by deriving a ratio of two servo pattern intervals and therefore is insensitive to medium speed during reading. The servo patterns may include spacing intervals 70 recognizable for error detection and correction purposes. The servo tracks may be recorded using a patterned multiple gap servo write head 400 whose magnetic gaps have geometries appropriate to generate the desired servo patterns.
