Abstract: It is often desirable to make packs, consisting of foils heat-sealed to one another, reclosable after opening and after the partial removal of the packaged product, in order to separate the remaining packaged product at least partially from the environment. For this purpose, there is provided, in addition to the heat-sealing region by means of which the upper and the lower foils are connected to one another, a reclosing region consisting of individual closing elements which, fitting into one another, are provided in the two foils. In the reclosing region, the foils are not connected materially to one another. On the contrary, spot-like closing elements which also allow a slight undercut are provided. They are shaped, without a male mould, in female moulds which are exposed to underpressure, whereas the other side of the foil is under overpressure. Shaping therefore takes place purely pneumatically. In this way, the shape of the closing elements can be given widely varying designs and can easily be adapted to the requirements of each individual pack. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A phase shifting circuit (10) which is especially suitable for use as a 180° phase bit for an antenna element in a phased radar antenna array includes a first transmission line (16) connected between an input terminal (12) and an output terminal (14). First and second diodes (22,24) are connected between the first transmission line (16) and the input and output terminals (12,14) respectively. Second and third transmission lines (18,20) are connected in series with each other between the input and output terminals (12,14). A third diode (26) is connected between the junction (28) of the second and third transmission lines (18,20) and ground. The first transmission line (16) is less than one-quarter wavelength long at the operating frequency of the circuit (10), whereas the second and third transmission lines (18,20) are each approximately three-eighths wavelength long. Forward biasing the diodes (22,24,26) causes substantially all of the signal to propagate from the input terminal (12) to the output terminal (14) through the first transmission line (16), producing minimum phase shift. Reverse biasing the diodes (22,24,26) causes a major portion of the signal to propagate through the second and third transmission lines (18,20), producing maximum phase shift.

Abstract: In a fiber optic gyroscope (10) having a pair of light waves counter-propagating in a fiber optic loop (44), a phase modulator (28) driven with a variable frequency and amplitude modulation signal on a line (32) so as to null any rotation induced optical phase shift, and using the difference between the drive frequency and the loop eigenfrequency as a measure of rotation rate, is provided with a calibration circuit (34) which determines the actual loop eigenfrequency while in rotation. A modulation signal is applied having an amplitude that causes the closed loop output frequency to equal the loop eigenfrequency independent of rotation rate. The amplitude is fine tuned by applying a phase dither and adjusting the amplitude until effects of the dither are minimized.

Abstract: Un transistor bipolaire présentant une structure de collecteur amélioré comprend une zone noyée du même type de conductivité que celle de la zone du collecteur séparée de la zone de la base et présentant une concentration d'impuretés échelonnée latéralement, la plus basse concentration se trouvant en dessous du centre de la zone de l'émetteur. Un circuit intégré peut comprendre des transistors dont la zone du collecteur est noyée, zone dont la concentration d'impuretés latérale diminue en dessous du centre de son émetteur, et peut également comprendre des transistors avec une concentration d'impuretés latérale uniforme sous toute l'étendue latérale de l'émetteur. Un procédé de réalisation de cette zone de collecteur de type unique consiste à former au moins une première zone de collecteur d'un premier type de conductivité et constitué de deux parties latérales d'une concentration d'impuretés latérale pratiquement uniformes, lesdites parties latérales étant espacées l'une de l'autre, dans un substrat d'un second type de conductivité, et à chauffer cette première zone pour réaliser la structure de collecteur noyée dont la concentration d'impuretés latérale diminue. Puis on forme une couche collectrice sur le substrat, une zone de la base dans la zone du collecteur et une zone de l'émetteur dans la zone de la base au-dessus de l'espace se trouvant dans la zone du collecteur noyé. Si le circuit intégré comprend des transistors qui n'ont pas le collecteur échelonné de type unique, on constitue la zone du collecteur noyé de ces transistors en introduisant des impuretés dont la concentration latérale dans le substrat est pratiquement uniforme.
