Patent EP-1505130-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAYLOR PHILIP LOUIS
IPC: C08K5/08
Filed: 2004-07-27
Abstract: An autoxidisable architectural coating composition suitable for
application to surfaces found in and around buildings at ambient
temperatures and in natural daylight by unsophisticated users having no
respiratory protection wherein surface autoxidation of the composition is
promoted by a combination of low concentrations of metal ions
(especially manganese or vanadium) and at least one photoinitiator. The
composition avoids the need to use more than trace amounts cobalt ions
which are rumoured to be carcinogenic yet achieves adequately fast rates
of autoxidation. Preferably the use of cobalt is avoided altogether. The
use of the low concentrations of the other metal ions reduces
discolouration of the compositions often to levels below what is achieved
using conventional cobalt promoters. It also improves gloss. Also a
modification in which surface autoxidation is promoted by a combination
of a photoinitiator and trace amounts of cobalt ions in the absence of
other surface autoxidation promoting metal ions. Finally, a method for
applying the autoxidisable coatings to surfaces under ambient
temperatures in which they are subjected to natural daylight or similar
low energy irradiation.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to output a stable
output signal having little distortion by adjusting a delay time of an
amplitude signal path and a phase signal path. 
     In an amplitude phase extracting part (2), amplitude data and
phase data are extracted from a transmit data signal and outputted.
Then, in an amplitude modulating part (3), the amplitude of the
amplitude data is modulated and an amplitude modulating signal is
inputted to a non-linear amplifying part (5) as a source voltage value.
Further, in a phase modulating part (4), the phase of the phase data
is modulated and a phase modulating signal is supplied to the
non-linear amplifying part (5) as an input signal. In the non-linear
amplifying part (5), the phase modulating signal is multiplied by the
amplitude modulating signal to output an RF signal with a prescribed
gain amplified. Here, a delay part (12) is provided in a pre-stage of
the amplitude modulating part (3) and a delay part (13) is provided in
a pre-stage of the phase modulating part (4), respectively to adjust
the delay time of an amplitude signal path and a phase signal path.
Thus, the quantities of delay are allowed to correspond to each other
to reduce a distortion generated due to the difference in delay time
between both the paths.

Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: Circuit intégré comprenant une pluralité d'étages de traitement comportant chacun une logique de traitement (2), un verrou non temporisé (4), un verrou temporisé (8) et un comparateur (6). Le verrou non temporisé (4) capture une sortie de la logique de traitement (2) à un moment de capture non temporisé. A un moment de capture temporisé ultérieur, le verrou temporisé (8) capture également une valeur de la logique de traitement (2). Le comparateur (6) compare ces valeurs et si elles ne sont pas égales, ceci indique que la valeur non temporisée a été capturée trop tôt et devrait être remplacée par la valeur temporisée. La valeur non temporisée est transmise à l'étage de traitement suivant immédiatement après sa capture et les mécanismes de correction d'erreurs sont utilisés en conséquence afin de supprimer le traitement erroné effectué par les étages de traitement suivant, ce qui consiste, par exemple, à déclencher l'horloge et à permettre aux valeurs de signalisation correctes de se propager à travers la logique de traitement suivante avant de redémarrer l'horloge. Les paramètres opérationnels du circuit intégré, tels que la fréquence d'horloge, la tension d'exploitation, la tension de polarisation ou la température sont réglées, de manière à maintenir un taux d'erreur fini non égal à 0 permettant d'augmenter les capacités générales du système.
