Patent EP-0509349-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BARRE CLAUDE DIPL-ING
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 1992-04-03
Abstract: A signal level converter for converting CMOS input signal levels to ECL output signal levels contains a differential amplifier operating as current switch. The load resistor in one amplifier branch is constructed as controllable resistor (15). It is controlled in such a manner that its resistance value is high when the switching current (I2) flows through the branch of the differential amplifier in which the controlled resistor is arranged. In other cases, the value of the controlled resistance is low. The switching current (I2) and thus the power loss can be reduced. The signal level converter can be developed in such a way that the ECL output signal levels are independent of temperature. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1992-08-12
Abstract: A storage system including improved scrubbing and sparing logic whereby the memory storage system is maintained by identifying and recording the number of hard errors on each memory chip. The system maintains a recording counter (224) for each of the data bits in the ECC data word. When one of the counters is incremented beyond a predetermined threshold (i.e. 513), the system invokes sparing to replace the failing bit position. When a spare chip is specifically designated to replace a defective chip, the system continues to write to the defective chip in parallel with the spare chip even after bit steering has been invoked. This helps to ensure the reliability of data on the replacement chip in case it is accidentally brought off-line. Advantageously, the continuous updating of the contents of the replaced chip allows its functioning memory to be used as a partial backup for the replacement chip.

Abstract: Transmission capabilities of optical fibers are enhanced with all-optical means for removing noise from signal pulses and for creating clean output pulses with specified characteristics. This is accomplished with a nonlinear interferometer that is designed to operate on an amplified optical signal in the manner of a threshold device. More specifically, the nonlinear interferometer is designed to have a relatively level region in its input/output transfer function in the neighborhood of the low input signal and in the neighborhood of the high input signal. Depending on the input signal characteristics, it is sometimes beneficial to design the interferometer so that the nominal high level of the input signal falls approximately in the middle of its corresponding flat region. In another embodiment, a bandpass filter is included at the output of the interferometer to remove the excess bandwidth that is created by the preceding amplifiers and the interferometer itself. The filter also removes the out-of-band noise in the input signal.

Abstract: This invention provides heat-conductive materials which may receive evenly the heat as applied thereto, which have an improved heat-releasing effect, which are free from fine pores on the surfaces thereof and therefore have excellent adhesiveness to thin films of plating materials or brazing materials, which have excellent compatibility with materials to be applied thereto, such as chips or sealant resins, with respect to the thermal expansion coefficients of them, and have excellent thermal conductivity, and which may have any desired thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity in accordance with the use and object of them. It also provides methods of producing the heat-conductive materials. One aspect of the heat-conductive materials is such that a two-layer sheet or three-layer sheet to be formed by previously welding under pressure a copper foil to one surface or both surfaces of a Kovar sheet followed by forming a number of small through-holes through the sheet has been welded under pressure to and integrated with one surface or both surfaces of a copper sheet as previously heated up to a temperature not lower than the recrystallizing temperature thereof with a heating device. Another aspect of them is such that a copper sheet as previously heated up to a temperature not lower than the recrystallizing temperature thereof has been welded under pressure to the lower surface of a Kovar sheet having a number of small through-holes therethrough, with a welding machine, and additionally another copper sheet has been welded under pressure to the upper surface of the same with a welding machine, all the welded sheets having been integrated together. Still another aspect of them is such that the materials of the first aspect and/or the second aspect have been laminated and integrated together. The heat-conductive materials of all the aspects have a high welding strength even though the welding of the constitutive sheets is effected at a small reduction ratio, and they may have determined thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity without fluctuating the previously determined ratio of the copper exposing surface areas (through-hole areas) to the Kovar surface.

Abstract: An expression system for producing and isolating large quantities of protein. This system employs an expression vector, comprising (a) a coding region for a glutathione-binding polypeptide (glutathione-s-transferase preferred), operatively connected to a promoter, (b) a second coding region in-frame with the first coding region, and (c) at least one restriction site between the first and second coding regions wherein a fusion protein of the first and second coding regions will result from expression of the vector. This vector is used in a host cell, which in turn is used in a process for isolating and purifying a protein. This process comprises (a) treating the host cell under conditions allowing expression of the vector, whereby a fusion protein of the first and second coding regions will be expressed; (b) exposing proteins from the host cell to glutathione resin, whereby the fusion protein will adhere to the resin; and (c) cleaving the expression product of the second coding region from the resin. Also described is a process for expressing a nucleic acid sequence, which comprises (a) inserting the nucleic acid sequence into a baculovirus expression vector in-frame with the first coding region; (b) placing the vector into a host cell; (c) treating the host cell under conditions allowing expression of the vector, resulting in expression of a fusion protein of the first coding region and the sequence inserted in step (a); (d) exposing proteins from the host cell to glutathione resin, whereby the fusion protein will adhere to the resin; and (e) treating the adhered fusion protein with a protease to release the expression product of the nucleic acid sequence from the resin. A baculovirus/ Spodoptera   frugiperda  expression system is preferred.
