Abstract: A satellite-based cellular telecommunications system employing a constellation of telecommunications satellites in medium earth orbit to provide multibeam radio frequency (rf) communications links for worldwide cellular telephone service with a minimum number of satellites. The telecommunications satellites are placed in a plurality of inclined orbits about the earth at an altitude of between approximately 5600 and 10,000 nautical miles. The characteristics of the orbits, such as the number of orbits, the inclination of each orbit, the number of satellites in each orbit and the altitude of the satellites, are tailored to maximize the coverage area of the satellites and their related line-of-sight elevation angles, while minimizing propagation time delays, the number of beam-to-beam and satellite-to-satellite handovers, and the total number of satellites. The present invention also includes several additional features which essentially eliminate beam-to-beam and satellite-to-satellite handovers, thus dramatically reducing the likelihood of dropouts.

Abstract: This invention provides a heater controller applied to an air-fuel ratio sensor to prevent the sensor being cooled after a return from a fuel-cut state. 
     The temperature of a detecting element 111 of an air-fuel ratio sensor 11 is maintained at a fixed temperature by beating the heater 112, and an electric power supplied to the heater is controlled by controlling a switching element 122 of a driving circuit 12 to a proper duty ratio. The sensor is cooled during the fuel-cut state because intake air is directly exhausted to an exhaust pipe, and the temperature of the sensor does not return to the proper temperature after a return from the fuel-cut state because the ambient temperature does not immediately return to the temperature before the fuel-cut state. Therefore a heater controller prevents the sensor being cooled by increasing an electric power after the return from the fuel-cut state in accordance with an integrated intake air-flow rate during the fuel-cut state.

Abstract: A method of forming a cast orthopaedic implant having a porous surface layer is disclosed. The method includes placing a porous layer on a wax replica of the implant such that a portion of the pres of the layer are filled with the wax material. The wax replica and porous surface layer are coated by a ceramic material consistent with investment cast technology. The ceramic material fills the remainder of the pores of the porous layer. After the ceramic material is solidified, the wax material is melted away leaving a cavity within the ceramic material. The pores once filled by wax are now exposed and extend into the cavity. A molten metal is poured into the cavity and partially melts the exposed porous layer to form a melt bond with the molten metal. When the metal is cooled, the ceramic material is stripped away exposing the portion of the porous layer previously filled with the ceramic medium.

Title: Method and system for enhanced system management operation in a data processing system
Inventor: SELL JOHN VICTOR
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1996-02-06
Abstract: A method and system for enhanced system management operations in a superscalar data processing system. Those supervisory level instructions which execute selected privileged operations within protected memory space are first identified as not requiring a full context synchronization. Each time execution of such an instruction is initiated an enable special access (ESA) instruction is executed as an entry point to that instruction or group of instructions. A portion of the machine state register for the data processing system is stored and the machine state register is then modified as follows: a problem bit is set, changing the execution privilege state to "supervisor;" external interrupts are disabled; and access privilege state bit is set; and, a special access mode bit is set, allowing execution of special instructions. The instructions which execute the selected privileged operations within the protected memory space are then executed. A disable special access (DSA) instruction is then executed which restores the bits within the machine state register which were modified during the ESA instruction. The ESA and DSA instructions are implemented without modifying the instruction stream by utilizing user level procedure calls, thereby reducing the overhead of the branch table necessary to determine the desired execution path.

Abstract: Un circuit à décalage de niveau (LSA) comprend: un montage en série d'une résistance de charge (RA), un trajet de courant principal d'un transistor d'entrée (T1A) et un transistor série bipolaire (T3A) monté en série comme source de courant et possédant un transistor parasite à facteur bas de gain de courant qu'on réalise, par exemple, en entourant totalement la région collectrice relativement faiblement dopée avec un matériau relativement fortement dopé de même type de conductivité que la région collectrice. Lorsque le transistor d'entrée (T1A) n'est pas conducteur, une forte quantité de charge s'accumule dans le transistor série (T3A) qui est alors saturé. Lorsque le transistor d'entrée (T1A) est débloqué, la charge accumulée provoque un dépassement de courant (IA) dans le circuit à décalage de niveau (LSA), ce dépassement compensant la réponse lente résultant de la capacité parasite (PCA) au niveau du n÷ud (NA).

Abstract: Improved method for feeding a waste containing organic solids into a boiler after it has been subjected to a hydrothermal reaction treatment in the presence of water comprises the steps of holding a slurry containing said waste under a high-temperature and high-pressure condition to cause a hydrothermal reaction such that an acidic slurry is formed during part of or throughout the process of said hydrothermal reaction, thereby reducing the content of oxygen in said waste relative to the carbon atoms in the building molecule of said waste, concurrently causing any halogens in said building molecule to be transferred into said slurry, then cooling said slurry, dewatering the cooled slurry and feeding the dewatered slurry into the combustion section of the boiler. In a preferred embodiment, the waste slurry to be subjected to the hydrothermal reaction is sorted into two portions for separate storage, one being a waste slurry the pH of which will increase as a result of the hydrothermal reaction and the other being a waste slurry the pH of which will decrease during the hydrothermal reaction, and the two slurries are combined together and subjected to the hydrothermal reaction with their relative amounts of supply being adjusted such as to form an acidic slurry either during part of or throughout the process of the hydrothermal reaction. According to the method, wastes can be supplied as a mass of high heat value into a boiler in such a manner that the organic matter is transferred by a smaller amount into the aqueous phase during a hydrothermal reaction and there is no scale deposit on the surfaces of those areas of the system components in contact with the liquid.

Abstract: A received data analyzer 11 receives print data including rule data and paint data from a personal computer, and supplies the rule data to a rule width table generator 12 and the paint data to a compensation determining section 13. With regard to the rule data supplied from the received data analyzer 11, the rule width table generator 12 generates a rule width table indicating the coordinates of both ends of each rule and the width thereof and sends the table to the compensation determining section 13. When a paint area indicated by the paint data overlaps a rule indicated by the rule width table, the compensation determining section 13 compensates the coordinates of the left end, right end, upper end and lower end of the paint area included in the paint data. The compensation determining section 13 compensates the paint data in this manner in such a way as to avoid overlapping of the paint area and the rule, and then supplies the paint data to a printing section 14.
