Patent EP-1202380-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIKKOLA JYRKI
IPC: H01Q1/24
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to double-action antenna structures. The structure comprises
an antenna inside the covering of a mobile station, a switch (SW) and a whip
element (240) movable in relation to the former two. The internal antenna comprises
two elements the first of which (220) is connected to the feed conductor (202)
of the whole antenna structure and the second to the signal ground (203, 210).
When the whip element is retracted, the switch galvanically interconnects the
elements of the internal antenna. Thus only the internal antenna functions and the
whip has no practical significance. When the whip element is extended, its lower
end disconnects, by means of the switch, the elements of the internal antenna, and
the whip element itself is connected in series with the first element. Thus, a
radiating element is provided by the series connection (240, 220) of the whip and
the first element, and the shorted element (230) of the internal antenna has no
practical significance. The first element further provides for the matching of the
whip element. The antenna structure may have one or more operating bands. In the
structure according to the invention the length of the whip element may be chosen
relatively freely because the electrical length of the structure can always be made
suitable by means of the internal antenna element connected in series with the whip
element. No mechanical parts or components are needed for the matching of the
whip element.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a charge-coupled image sensor, wherein a silicon slice (1) is provided at its surface with semiconductor zones (8, 12, 16) formed by implantation of ions of dopants and subsequent heat treatments. The surface (2) is provided with a gate dielectric (3, 4) comprising a layer of silicon oxide (3) and a layer of silicon nitride (4) deposited on said layer of silicon oxide (3). A system of electrodes (17, 20) is formed on the gate dielectric layer (3, 4). In this method, the semiconductor zones (8, 12, 16) are not formed in the silicon slice (1) until after the gate dielectric layer (3, 4) has been formed, the ions being implanted through the gate dielectric layer (3, 4). An image sensor thus formed has a very small dark current, a very low fixed pattern noise, and images formed by means of the sensor are practically free of white spots.

Title: Multiplexeur, demultiplexeur et multiplexeur a insertion-extraction pour liaisons de telecommunications par fibres optiques monomodales
Inventor: BOORD WARREN TIMOTHY
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un multiplexeur ainsi qu'à un démultiplexeur optique pour systèmes de communications par fibres optiques à multiplexage en longueurs d'ondes à canaux denses (DWDM). En tant que multiplexeur, le dispositif combine spatialement les signaux optiques provenant de plusieurs sources laser (dont chacune a une longueur d'onde différente) et injecte les faisceaux laser spatialement combinés dans une seule fibre optique. En tant que démultiplexeur, le dispositif sépare spatialement les différentes longueurs d'onde d'une liaison optique multiplexée par répartition des longueurs d'ondes et injecte chacune desdites longueurs d'onde dans une fibre optique différente. Dans les deux modes de réalisation, le dispositif comprend des composants optiques massifs et des composants optiques intégrés. La séparation ou la combinaison spatiale des faisceaux laser de différente longueur d'onde s'obtient au moyen de réseaux de diffraction massifs. Les composants optiques massifs sont également utilisés pour collimater et former les faisceaux laser se propageant dans l'espace libre, ce qui permet de coupler efficacement la lumière dans les fibres optiques monomodes, ou les guides d'ondes optiques intégrés, et diminue la diaphonie optique. Des diviseurs de faisceau polarisants orientent la polarisation de la lumière, de façon à optimiser l'efficacité de la diffraction par les réseaux et à diminuer la perte due à la polarisation. En outre, les faces terminales des fibres optiques et des guides d'ondes intégrés ont subi un polissage d'angle, ce qui diminue l'écho de fond et ainsi le bruit dû au retour à la source laser. De préférence, le réseau de diffraction et l'optique de focalisation sont conçus de façon à permettre le multiplexage et le démultiplexage de longueurs d'onde laser séparées de 0,4 nanomètres (nm) dans la bande de longueur d'onde de 1550 nm. Le champ de vision préféré de l'optique permet de multiplexer et de démultiplexer jusqu'à 32 canaux de longueur d'onde séparés de 0,4 nanomètres dans la bande de longueur d'onde de 1550 nm. Les exemples de performances sont donnés pour la bande de longueur d'onde de 1550 nm, mais les composants du dispositif peuvent être conçus pour une utilisation dans d'autres bandes, telles que la bande à faible affaiblissement par absorption à μ ∩ 1310 nm des fibres optiques.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'équilibrer la capacité de liaison aval et la capacité de liaison inverse dans un système de communications sans fil. Des codeurs de parole à modes sélectionnables sont mis en oeuvre dans les deux liaisons de sorte qu'un codeur de parole de liaison aval ne fonctionne pas avec le même ensemble de modes que celui utilisé par le codeur de parole de liaison inverse. Du fait que la liaison inverse possède une plus grande capacité utilisateur que la liaison aval, le codeur de parole de liaison inverse peut fonctionner à un débit moyen de données plus élevé. En conséquence, l'ensemble de modes utilisé par le codeur de parole de liaison inverse peut être mis en oeuvre sans modes de débit moyen de données faible. La suppression de modes de l'ensemble de modes permet de réduire la complexité du codeur de parole.

Abstract: Provided is a disc drive device that optimally controls
a speed for reading RTR-format data, such as video and audio,
recorded on a DVD-format disc, thereby enabling real-time
playback without interruption. In the disc drive device,
information added to each sector is used for determining whether
data is RTR-format data. When an error occurs at high-speed
reading of RTR-format data and therefore the reading speed is
changed to a low speed, the reading speed is so controlled as to
be kept at the low speed for reading the following RTR-format data.
Thus, for RTR-format data, overhead due to repetitive
acceleration and deceleration processes can be avoided, and
reading can be carried out without interfering with real-time
playback. For normal data, reading can be carried out in a manner
similar to that in background art.
