Abstract: Disclosed is a low flow, low Reynolds number cavitating venturi. This cavitating venturi includes an inlet for receiving a liquid at an upstream pressure and an outlet for discharging the liquid received by the inlet at a downstream pressure. The liquid passes through a converging portion having a converging sidewall which extends from said inlet, through a throat portion having a throat sidewall and a diverging diffuser portion having a diverging sidewall. The cavitating venturi provides a substantially stable liquid flow rate independent of the downstream pressure up to a downstream pressure at least as high as 80% of the upstream pressure at a Reynolds number of 60,000 or less.

Abstract: Zeolites containing mixed cations are conveniently prepared by saturating the zeolites with the less strongly held cation, and then injecting the more strongly held cations in a pulse in a recirculating brine solution containing the less strongly held cation. The more strongly held cation is thus exchanged with the less readily held cation on the surface of the zeolite, after which the particles are allowed to equilibrate, with the distribution of the cations within the particles approaching an equilibrium value.

Abstract: The sensor has at least two sensor units (1,2) which measure without contact and provide sensor signals (U1,U2) which are similar, mutually phase-displaced functions of the position to be measured relative to a moving element and a phase detection unit (12) generating a sensor position signal (UW) as a measure of the position. A combination circuit (4) controlled by a clock signal (UT1,UT2) generates a measurement signal (UM) from the sensor signals. The measurement signal corresponds to a cyclic sequence of the sensor signals with alternating polarity after each cycle. The phase detection unit forms the position signal by measuring the phase difference between the clock signal and the measurement signal.

IPC: H04B10/18

Abstract: In external modulation, chirp is reduced by modulating a laser light beam during a modulation period to maintain light returning to the laser substantially constant. Variations in at least one of the magnitude and phase of light returning to the laser from an external modulator are reduced during the modulation period. An external modulator divides and modulates the light in parallel along separate optical paths. Driving voltages are applied to modulators in each of the optical paths based on first and second parameters. The first driving parameter represents an intensity modulation. The second driving parameter varies depending upon the value of the first driving parameter during modulation to maintain the light returning to the laser substantially constant throughout the modulation period. For example, the second driving parameter can be a function of the first driving parameter during the modulation period to reduce variations in the magnitude and phase of light returning to the laser through the external modulator. According to a second embodiment, the external modulator has a first modulator and a second modulator optically coupled in series between a laser and two complementary output ports. The second modulator is biased during modulation to balance the phase of light passing through first and second output waveguides. With this configuration it is easier to operate the system to reduce variations in the light returning to the laser during modulation. Finally, optical interactions between the modulator and laser which give rise to chirp are further reduced by using two output ports. Accordingly, the modulated laser signal output from the integrated modulator travels greater distances with less pulse spreading over an optical medium.

Abstract: An adaptive trellis decoder (24) seamlessly switches between multiple input signal formats. The trellis decoder employs a code sequence detection system (30,40), described in the context of an exemplary Viterbi decoding system, that detects codes in an input interleaved packet data signal. The code sequence detection system also reduces the delay (latency) between the input of encoded data and the output of decoded data. The code sequence detection system provides branch metric values in response to the input interleaved packet data signal which exhibits one of a plurality of signal formats, e.g. partial response and normal formats. A Viterbi decoder (40) decodes the packet data signal to produce a decoded output in response to the branch metric values which include a substantially replicated value associated with one of the formats. The Viterbi decoder includes a comparison network (43) that provides decision data in response to branch metric values associated with the trellis encoded data packets. The decision data is organized by trellis state and by data packet and is associated with trellis state transitions. A traceback network (47) provides decoded data in response to the organized decision data.

Abstract: To reduce the necessary storage capacity of the
internal memory of a printer, a printing start command
is transmitted from a printer controller to a printer by
asynchronous transfer before the transmission of image
data. Isochronous transfer of image data to be printed
in packet units starts upon elapse of a fixed period of
time following transmission of the printing start
command. Image data thenceforth is transmitted from the
printer controller to the printer successively by
isochronous transfer at a fixed period. Since the image
data is transmitted from the printer controller to the
printer at the fixed period, printing can be performed
at a constant speed without requiring that the printer
be provided with an image memory for storing image data
representing one frame of an image. In a case where a
transfer request command is supplied from the printer to
the printer controller, the image data is transmitted
from the printer controller to the printer in response
to the transfer request command.
