Inventor: PERVAN TONY
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 1994-04-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for laying and mechanically joining building panels, especially thin, hard, floating floors. Adjacent joint edges (3, 4) of two panels (1, 2) engage each other to provide a first mechanical connection locking the joint edges (3,4 ) in a first direction (D1) perpendicular to the principal plane of the panels. In each joint, there is further provided a strip (6) which is integrated with one joint edge (3) and which projects behind the other joint edge (4). The strip (6) has an upwardly protruding locking element (8) engaging in a locking groove (14) in the rear side (16) of the other joint edge (4) to form a second mechanical connection locking the panels (1, 2) in a second direction (D2) parallel to the principal plane of the panels and at right angles to the joint. Both the first and the second mechanical connection allow mutual displacement of joined panels (1, 2) in the direction of the joint.

Abstract: Method and system for bi-directionally controlling power flow between
two separate direct current power sources (e.g., 12 andl4) in a multi-stage
power converter system are provided. The method allows providing at least
first and second power converter stages (e.g., 20and 30) coupled in parallel
circuit to one another. The method further allows providing a first switching
controller (e.g., 113) coupled to selectively actuate a pair of switching devices
(e.g., 201 and 202) in the first power converter stage, and a second switching
controller (e.g., 114) coupled to selectively actuate a pair of switching devices
(e.g., 301 and 302) in the second power converter stage. One of the first and
second switching controllers is selected as a master controller (e.g., 113), and
the other one of the first and second switching controllers is selected as a slave
controller (e.g., 114). An average voltage measurement is determined at a
respective node (e.g., 601 and 602; or 604 and 606) of each the power converter
stages. A compensating signal is generated based on the difference of the
average voltage measurements at the respective nodes of each of the power
converter stages. The compensating signal is applied to the slave switching
controller so that the pair of power switching devices coupled to that slave
switching controller is selectively actuated to have a respective on and off duty
cycle. The duty cycle imparted by the slave controller is adjustable in response
to the compensating signal relative to the duty cycle imparted by the master
controller to the pair of power switching devices coupled thereto in order to
avoid current imbalance between the power converter stages.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate is provided, and
according to this method, a semiconductor substrate having the SOI structure composed
of a supporting substrate and an SOI layer, which have thermal expansion coefficients
different from each other, can be formed. In addition, a semiconductor substrate, and
an electrooptic device and an electronic apparatus are also provided. 
     When a substrate 600 having the SOI structure is formed, a groove 260 is formed
in a single crystal silicon layer, so that island-shaped single crystal silicon layers 230 are
formed. Subsequently, heat treatment is performed. Consequently, since thermal stress
caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between a supporting substrate
500 and the single crystal silicon layer 230 is reduced by the groove 260, even when
heat treatment for improving a bonding strength or an oxidation step is performed, a
high-quality single crystal silicon layer having no dislocation and cracks therein can be
obtained.

Abstract: Apparatus, for example a digital communication unit
(200), for performing one or more probabilistic
calculations wherein one or more of the probabilistic
calculations is a logarithm of a sum of exponentials.
The apparatus comprises a processor that calculates a
logarithm of a sum of exponentials (340) using a
hyperbolic cosine function (320). Preferably, the
hyperbolic cosine function (320) is used as a correction
term and implemented using an analytical approach. A
method of calculating a logarithm of a sum of
exponentials (340) is also provided. 
     The proposed implementation of calculating a logarithm of
a sum of exponentials using a hyperbolic cosine approach
does not need additional memory for, say, a look-up
table. Thus, it provides particular advantage in a
hardware implementation, where memory requires additional
cost, space and peripheral devices, for example to
perform testing, etc.
