Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs d'affichage à cristaux liquides ferroélectriques à surfaces stabilisées (SSFLC). Ces affichages sont constitués par des cellules contenant une fine couche, par exemple de 2 νm d'épaisseur, d'un matériau composé de cristaux liquides smectiques. Les parois des cellules sont traitées en surface et elles portent des électrodes par exemple en rangées et colonnes formant une matrice x,y d'éléments d'affichage adressables ou pixels. Ces dispositifs peuvent présenter une bistabilité et commuter entre leurs deux états stables lors de l'application d'une impulsion à courant continu de polarité, d'amplitude et de largeur appropriées. Selon cette invention, le dispositif est adressé premièrement en mettant en forme préalablement le matériau à cristaux liquides au niveau de chaque pixel, en appliquant une ou deux tension(s) de polarisation à courant alternatif ce qui modifie les caractéristiques de commutation du liquide, et deuxièmement en commutant par application d'une impulsion de commutation. Le résultat est que les pixels qui ont reçu la première tension de polarisation à courant alternatif, commutent, pendant que les autres pixels ne commutent pas. Les deux tensions de polarisation à courant alternatif peuvent être appliquées par exemple par une combinaison d'impulsions d'activation bipolaires et de deux signaux de données bipolaires appliqués, selon une forme d'adressage multiplexé, aux électrodes en rangées et en colonnes. Les impulsions de commutation suivantes peuvent être partagées entre les électrodes en rangées et en colonnes pour former une impulsion résul1ante de polarité, d'amplitude et de largeur appropriées.

Abstract: A monolithic diode pumped solid-state laser (11) comprising as the laser host neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) (12, 52) or neodymium-doped gadolinium orthovanadate (Nd:GdVO4) (57, 67) operating on the 4F3/2->4I9/2 ( DIFFERENCE 914 nm or  DIFFERENCE 912 nm respectively) transition, to which a suitable nonlinear optic material (16), such as potassium niobate (KNbO3) or beta barium borate (BBO), is bonded. The nonlinear crystal gives rise to intracavity frequency doubling to  DIFFERENCE 457 or  DIFFERENCE 456 nm. The microlaser is a composite cavity formed from a gain medium crystal and a nonlinear frequency doubling material which together have four spaced parallel dielectrically coated faces (14, 17, 18, 15) and which is positioned in close proximity to a diode laser pump source (13) for phase-matched harmonic generation of blue light along an axis of propagation which lies substantially perpendicular to the two faces of the composite cavity. By employing specific doping concentration-lengths products of lasant material and pumping the gain medium which has a specific crystalline orientation the desired efficient blue microlaser is achieved. Alternative embodiments combine the Nd:YVO4 and Nd:GdVO4 elements to enhance certain output characteristics of the laser.

Abstract: The gate terminal of a FET is supplied with a bias voltage from a gate biasing circuit and a fluctuation in voltage V cs  applied to a constant-current circuit is detected by a voltage-fluctuation detector. A gate-bias controller controls the gate biasing circuit to lower the gate bias voltage in a case where the fluctuation in voltage V cs  has changed in an increasing direction, and to raise the gate bias voltage in a case where the fluctuation in voltage V cs  has changed in the decreasing direction. Further, there are provided a plurality of constant-current sources having respective FETs and biasing circuits for setting a prescribed power-supply voltage characteristic and a prescribed temperature characteristic. A constant-current circuit is constructed by parallel-connecting the FETs in the plurality of constant-current sources through the drains and sources thereof.

Abstract: A seal and strain relief member (2) comprises a plastic injection moulded strain relief member (4) and an elastomeric seal (6) overmoulded to the strain relief member thereby forming an integral part. The strain relief member (4) comprises clamping halves (18) pivotally attached by hinges (20) to a base section (8) having wire receiving cavities (10) therethrough, the base section (8) extending into seal support walls (30). The clamping halves (18) can be pivoted towards each other to clamp conducting wires therebetween and thereby provide a strain relief means. The strain relief member support walls (30) purport not only to provide a bonding surface for the seal (6) thereto, but in particular provides support to the seal with respect to axial and radial compression thereby preventing excessive or uneven deformation of the seal to ensure reliable and effective sealing. The strain relief member (4) can be integrally moulded to a carrier strip (40) for connection to other strain relief members thereby reducing handling and assembly costs, in particular of the seal members.

Abstract: An integrated processor is provided that includes a cache controller which keeps track of a physical address in the system memory which corresponds to each entry within the cache memory. The address tag and state logic circuit further contains state information consisting of a dirty bit allocated for each doubleword (or word) within each line as well as a valid bit for each line. The dirty bit allocated for each doubleword indicates whether that doubleword is dirty or clean, and the valid bit for each line indicates whether the line is valid or invalid. The cache controller further includes a snoop write-back control circuit which monitors the local bus to determine whether a memory cycle has been executed by an alternate bus master on the local bus. During such a memory cycle of an alternate bus mater, a comparator circuit determines whether a cache hit has occurred. If a cache hit occurs and one or more dirty doublewords are contained within the corresponding line, the snoop write-back control circuit initiates a snoop write-back cycle to write-back only those doublewords within the line that is marked dirty. If two or more doublewords within the hit cache line are marked dirty, the snoop write-back control circuit effectuates the write-back of the dirty data by executing a burst write cycle on the local bus. The snoop write-back control circuit is configured to write-back any dirty doublewords within the line during the designated burst cycle even if the dirty doublewords are non-sequential. Only those doublewords within a particular cache line that are dirty are written back to system memory when a snoop write-back cycle is executed, and the write-back of non-sequential dirty data is accommodated during a single burst cycle.
