Patent EP-0402345-A2 (EP)
Inventor: THEURL JOHANN DIPL-ING DR
IPC: G01S13/60
Filed: 1990-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for monitoring the speed and direction of motor vehicles, to be precise by installing on the vehicle a transmitting (2), a receiving (3) and a processing (5) unit, which interact with non-energised reflector devices in the pavement (9). The transmitter continuously emits electromagnetic waves of suitable wavelength in the centimetre range with a pronounced directional characteristic at an acute angle, for example 45 degrees, in the axial direction onto the roadway (9). Depending on the permissible maximum speed, reflection strips are laid in the roadway (9) transverse to the driving direction at intervals corresponding to the respectively prescribed speed limits. The main direction of reflection of the reflection strips forms an acute angle with the roadway surface. If a prescribed upper time interval is undershot between the recording of two consecutive pulses, the system reacts with speed-diminishing strategies in or on the vehicle. In the event of a speed being overshot, the system can deduct points on a points card, that is to say on an electronic driving licence in the form of a smart chip card, and in the event of undershooting of a speed limit can credit points to a small extent. In this way, it is possible to achieve a completely decentralised and anonymous form of penalty points administration, which is also educative for traffic users. If the time between two pulses is less than a prescribed lower limit, this is interpreted by the processor (5) as a flagrant event. Because of the strict fixation of the system on a driving direction, it is possible using this principle for the system clearly to detect vehicle motions in a wrong or impermissible direction - such as, for example, driving wrongly onto a motorway - and to respond with appropriate reactions. For this purpose, reflection strips are laid on one-way streets at appropriately short intervals, to be precise so that the electromagnetic waves reflected at the strips can reach only the receiver of a motor vehicle which is moving in the impermissible direction. If driving takes place on a street under these preconditions in the permitted or prescribed direction, because of the abovementioned alignment of the reflectors (6) no flagrant event is registered. Naturally, it is possible simultaneously to install in the permitted direction - and completely independently of the monitoring of direction - a speed display or speed monitor according to this system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An information recording/reproducing method and apparatus is for carrying out at least one of recording and reproducing information through a probe electrode or through a plurality of probe electrodes on an information recording medium. A probe electrode is disposed on an elastic member. A relative position is so adjusted between the recording medium and the probe electrode that a repulsive force between them is comparative to an elastic force of the elastic member. In case of plural probe electrodes, they are displaced to keep an equal spacing between the recording medium and the respective probe electrodes so that they may have either a zero average or a minimized square sum of displacement. A spacer layer will do for setting a spacing between a probe electrode and the recording medium.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are set forth which optimize and balance the use of processor card (or complex) resources (e.g., memory, the local bus, etc.), with the use of other system resources, such as the card to card communications bus and devices attached thereto, in dual bus computing systems. A new data rate management technique reduces data transfer overhead particularly for burst mode transfers. 
     The invention promptly services pending memory refresh requests ; limits multiple accesses to on card (or processor complex) memory by an Alternate Bus Master to a predetermined number of cycles where the processor requests the use of its local bus ; and allows an Alternate Bus Master unlimited accesses to the processor local bus when the Alternate Bus Master owns the card to card communications bus and the processor subsequently requests that bus. 
     The aforementioned balance of resources is achieved using a Bus Hold On Grant ("BSHOG") scheduling procedure which, assuming a bursting Alternate Bus Master has gained control of the local processor bus and is conducting data transfer cycles when the processor requests the local bus, allows the Alternate Bus Master to conditionally retain local bus ownership over a plurality of Alternate Bus Master data transfer cycles.

Abstract: A radio transmit-receive unit can perform the communication processing stably without being affected by high frequency noise with the system activation of a computer unit, whereby if a communication processing request from the radio transmit-receive unit occurs, the computer unit sets the system state of a sub-CPU being activated to a rest state, a counter starts clocking the signal receive time of the radio transmit-receive unit when the system state of the sub-CPU is in a rest state, and a latch circuit holds electric field strength information of carrier received by the radio transmit-receive unit upon the termination of clocking by the counter. And the computer unit switches the system state of the sub-CPU being at rest to an active state, based on the end state of clocking by the counter, to restart the activation of the computer unit.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit transistor begins with forming a gate electrode over an insulating layer grown on a conductive layer. Sidewall spacers are formed alongside vertical edges of the gate electrode and a mask is applied to a drain region. A relatively fast-diffusing dopant is then implanted into a source region in the conductive layer. Thereafter, the mask is removed and the drain region is implanted with a relatively slow-diffusing dopant. Finally, the conductive layer is annealed, causing the relatively fast-diffusing dopant to diffuse beneath the source sidewall spacer to a location approximately beneath the vertical edge of the source side of the gate electrode, and causing the relatively slow-diffusing dopant to extend beneath the drain sidewall spacer a lesser distance, so that the drain junction is laterally spaced from underneath the gate electrode. Due to the difference in diffusion rates between the relatively slow-diffusing dopant and the relatively fast-diffusing dopant, a transistor having a drain junction offset is formed.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for compensating for phase shift occurring in a signal being returned from a remote sensor (1). The apparatus comprises an excitation generator (30) which supplies an excitation signal to the remote sensor (1). The return signal from the sensor (1) is supplied via an over-sampling analogue-to-digital converter (22, 23) to a phase splitter (24) which divides the return signal into its real or in-phase component and its imaginary or quadrature component. The amplitude of the quadrature component is compared with zero by a comparator (28) and via a control circuit (29) controls the phase shift (25) between the excitation signal from the generator (30) and the return signal. The phase of the excitation signal is controlled so that the quadrature component is zero and the real component therefore represents the amplitude of the sensor signal.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display unit including a plurality of subpixels (21a, 21b) in each pixel (21) provides superior gradation over a wide viewing angle, and is produced with no increase in manufacturing cost and no deterioration of desired properties (such as reduction in brightness, contrast and response). No additional manufacturing step is required since a control capacitor electrode (8c) is formed at the same time as source and drain electrodes (8a, 8b) constituting a thin-film transistor (24). By controlling the ratio of display area and the difference in applied voltage of the subpixels (21a, 21b), preferable viewing angle properties are obtained. The display properties at the boundary of subpixels are improved by controlling the gap width and the direction of boundary of the subpixels (25), thus providing a bright display.
