Patent EP-1294092-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BJORKSTEN PATRIK
IPC: H03H19/00
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: Method and apparatus for reducing power in a switched capacitor circuit. In
one embodiment, the power reduction apparatus includes a detector connected to
both inputs of an operational amplifier in a switched capacitor circuit, and a
controller. The detector monitors the inputs. A voltage corresponding to full settling
(i.e. a zero difference between the inputs) is stored. The voltage corresponding to
the difference between the inputs is compared to the previous value to determine
whether it is within the desired range. The controller is connected to an output signal
of the detector. The controller adjusts a bias current of the operational amplifier
based on the output signal to as low as possible but just above a value where the
comparison falls outside the desired range. The power consumption of the
operational amplifier is minimized while a settling time of the operational amplifier is
still adequate for maximum performance.

IPC: G09G1/00
Filed: 1995-11-17
Abstract: A display device is provided with a matrix panel possessing multiple scanning lines, multiple data
lines, and display elements that are driven by scanning signals and data signals; a scanning line
drive circuit that simultaneously selects multiple scanning lines from among said scanning lines and
applies scanning voltage possessing a specified selection voltage pattern; and a data line drive
circuit that determines the voltage to be applied to said data lines based on the comparison between
said selection voltage pattern and the display data which indicates ON/OFF of the display elements
of said matrix panel, and that applies the determined voltage to said data lines. When the number of
scanning lines to be simultaneously selected is h and the total number of scanning lines is n, the
data line drive circuit possesses n/h shift registers for storing the data that specifies the scanning
line to be selected. The device further has a decoder for generating the signal that indicates the
scanning line to be driven and the drive voltage level by decoding both the data that specifies the
voltage level to be applied to the scanning line and the data that is output from said n/h shift
registers.

IPC: G09G3/20

Abstract: A video signal (INPUT X) is decomposed into a higher
brightness level signal (HIGH) and a lower brightness level
signal (LOW). The threshold (T) between higher and lower
brightness levels is adjustable and related to the transition
between lower and higher gain portions of the gamma table for
an associated liquid crystal imager. The lower brightness
level signal is low pass filtered (in 22) to reduce the
difference in brightness between adjacent pixels. The higher
brightness level signal is delayed in time (in 24) to match
the processing delay through the low pass filter. The delay
matched signal and the low pass filtered signal are combined
(in 26) to form a modified video signal (OUTPUT X') less
likely to result in sparkle artifacts in the imager. Sparkle
reduction processing can be applied to luminance signals and
to video drive signals in various combinations, based on
independently selectable thresholds (Fig. 4).

Title: Verfahren zur konvektiven Behandlung von Kunststoffen
Inventor: HOCKEMEYER FRITZ
IPC: B05D3/04
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: Der vorliegende Patententwurf beschreibt die Reinigung dünn aufgetragener
Kunststofffilme, insbesondere von Siliconpolymerfilmen, während des
Beschichtungsprozesses an laufenden Substratbahnen wie Papier, Folien,
Metallfolien, Textilien und Geweben; Verbundsubstraten wie Papier/Folie,
Papier/Metall, Folie/Metall, Textil/Folie usw. 
     Durch das günstige Verhältnis von großer Oberfläche zu geringem Auftragsgewicht
(z.B. beim Silicon = 1 g/m 2 ), lassen sich niedermolekulare Verunreinigungen, wie
Inhibitoren, Katalysatorreste aus dem Herstellungsprozess, toxisch wirkende
Substanzen, oligomere und monomere Produkte bzw. Nebenprodukte aus dem noch
unvernetzten Kunststofffilm durch Zwangskonvektion, durch turbulent geführte
Luftschichten im Kontakt mit der kunststoffbeschichteten Materialbahn austreiben. 
     Zur wirksamen Austreibung der Verunreinigungen werden folgende Parameter im
konvektiven Teil des Trockners angewandt:
   Die Luftgeschwindigkeit am Düsenausgang, die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit an der
Absaugung, der Einfallswinkel der Luft auf die Materialbahn, die Strömungsrichtung
der Luft (mit, senkrecht oder gegen die Bahnlaufrichtung) die Geometrie der Düsen
und der Abstand der Düsen zur Materialbahn. Die Strömungsverhältnisse werden am
PC simuliert und auf die Materialbahn übertragen.   Die Austreibung der Verunreinigungen erfolgt vor dem eigentlichen Härtungsprozess
bei Raumtemperatur bis zur Temperatur unterhalb der Reaktionstemperatur
thermisch vernetzender Kunststoffe oder im Bereich der Vernetzungstemperatur oder
durch Abkühlung der Materialbahn im konvektiv wirkenden Teil des Trockners.   Die Abnahme der Verunreinigungen wird durch Probenentnahme an der laufenden
Bahn gemessen. IR, ATR, NMR, RFA, DSC.   Die Aushärtung der Kunststoffbeschichtung selbst erfolgt dann durch Warmluft oder
durch Zuführung energiereicher Strahlen wie (IR - UV- EB) oder durch die
gleichzeitige Einwirkung von Warmluft und Energiestrahlen auf die beschichtete
Substratbahn. Der Übergang von Konvektion und Aushärtung ist fließend.    
       Ziel:  Durch die vorangehende konvektive Reinigung des aufgetragenen
Kunststofffilms, insbesondere durch die Entfernung des Inhibitors bei Siliconen, wird
folgendes erreicht:
   Schnellere Aushärtung zu einem vernetzten Film, Aushärtung bei niedrigeren
Temperaturen, thermische Schonung der Substrate, geringerer Anteil extrahierbarer
Bestandteile im Endprodukt, geringere Abhängigkeit der Aushärtegeschwindigkeit,
bei thermisch vemetzenden Produkten vom Flächengewicht des Substrates. Toxisch
unbedenklichere Beschichtungen ( BGVV, FDA).   Aushärtung der Kunststoffe, insbesondere bei additionsvernetzenden Siliconen, bei
geringerem Katalysatorbedarf.

Abstract: A system and method improves performance of a GSM TDMA-based terminal
by canceling TDMA noise. When a time burst is generated on a battery power line, a
check is performed to determine whether a current time slot is an idle slot, and if the
current time slot is an idle slot a noise level is applied to generate an offset voltage.
An overall battery voltage drop is reduced based on the applied noise level. Supply
noise to the idle slot may be performed by applying an arbitrary channel when an
idle slot corresponds to a baseband frequency. Alternatively, a transceiver may
generate thermal noise in an idle slot state and a corresponding noise level may then
be supplied to the power amplifier.
