IPC: B81B5/00
Filed: 2000-10-03
Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) optical device having a reduced footprint for
increasing yield on a substrate. The MEM device includes an optical element having an
outer edge and supported by a support structure disposed on a substrate. The support
structure is mechanically connected to the substrate through first and second pairs of
beams which move the structure to an active position for elevating the optic device above
the substrate. When in an elevated position, the optical device can be selectively tilted for
deflecting optic signals. The beams are connected at one end to the support structure, at the
other end to the substrate and are disposed so that the first and second beam ends are
located proximate the optical device outer edge. In a preferred embodiment, a stiction
force reducing element is included on the outer edge of the optical device for reducing the
contact area between the optic device edge and the substrate.

Abstract: The invention to which this application relates is an improvement to
an electronic programme guide which is typically provided in
relation to a television broadcast system. The electronic programme
guide is typically generated from data which is transmitted from a
remote location to a receiver at a premises and displayed on a
display screen connected to the receiver. In accordance with the
invention the user can refer to the guide and select a programme or
programmes scheduled to be shown at a time in the future and
details and/or identification for the selected programme are held in
a memory in the receiver. In one embodiment a display can be
generated which shows the user the details of those programmes
selected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method for providing a user-adaptive
digest stream which provides a digest stream of a multimedia stream having a
user-desired length and reflecting the user's preference/non-preference. For this, a
method for providing an user-adaptive multi-level digest stream, which dynamically
provides an user-adaptive digest stream according to an user preference
information, comprising searching an user preference information having an user
preference/non-preference level by categories for a multimedia stream, and
reconstructing a multi-level digest stream information on a multimedia stream as a
multi-level digest stream information according to the user preference information,
using both the searched user preference information and a content-based data
of a multimedia stream. Thereby, it is possible to conveniently provide a multi-level
digest stream corresponding to the user's preference without inputting an
additional query condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a planar antenna structure in small-sized radio apparatus. A
layer of dielectric material (230), the dielectric constant of which is relatively high,
is arranged outwards of the plane of the outer surface of the radiating element (210)
of a planar inverted F antenna, or PIFA (200). The layer is located so as to cover at
least the areas in which the electric field is the strongest when the antenna resonates.
In the case of a dual-band antenna the slot (215) in the radiating element is made
advantageously so wide that the effect of the coupling between the branches (A1,
A2) of the element is small. An antenna according to the invention can be made
smaller in size and at least as good in its electrical characteristics as a corresponding
prior-art antenna. Alternatively, the electrical characteristics of the antenna can be
substantially improved without making the size of the antenna bigger.

Abstract: A hearing aid includes a microphone, signal processing circuitry, receiver and integral battery all mounted in a casing. The battery may be a metal air device. The battery may be activated by removing a tape which blocks air holes on the battery or, if the battery is sealed into the hearing aid, air-vent holes on the hearing aid. The hearing aid may also include an air-blocking mechanism which is activated when the hearing aid is inserted in the user's ear and deactivated when the hearing aid is removed. The assembled hearing aid may also be packaged in non-permeable packaging material to extinguish battery activity. The hearing aid may also include an electronic switch which monitors the battery potential to disconnect the battery from the hearing aid electronics when the battery is deprived of oxygen and which connects the battery to the electronics when oxygen is provided to the battery. In one embodiment of the invention, the integral battery is a rechargeable battery which is recharged via external contacts. In another embodiment, the battery is recharged using an induced alternating current potential which is rectified before being applied to the battery.

Title: Soupape a tiroir servant a commuter des ecoulements d'air entre deux lits

Abstract: Ce système de régénération d'air de ventilation à lit double est conçu pour être utilisé conjointement avec une boucle d'air de ventilation ou de respiration d'un vêtement spatial d'astronaute, cette boucle de ventilation comprenant des collecteurs d'entrée et de sortie. Une paire de lits chimiques, présentant des collecteurs d'entrée et de sortie, servent à adsorber alternativement des dépôts de dioxyde de carbone et de vapeur d'eau, à partir de l'air de ventilation ou de respiration, et à désorber de tels dépôts vers le vide très poussé de l'espace, par l'intermédiaire d'orifices à vide logeant une soupape à tiroir. Une seule soupape à tiroir commande les connexions fluidiques entre les collecteurs d'entrée et de sortie de l'air de ventilation, les collecteurs d'entrée et de sortie des lits chimiques, et les orifices à vide ou d'échappement. La soupape à tiroir permet également d'égaliser les pressions et volumes des lits chimiques pendant la période de transition entre les changements de lits chimiques, entre les phases d'adsorption et de désorption, de façon à sauver la moitié du volume d'air par rapport à ce qui serait perdu dans l'espace si l'on n'effectuait pas une telle égalisation de pression. En outre, l'air utilisé pour commander les mouvements de va-et-vient de la soupape est utilisé pour remplacer l'air, dans la boucle de ventilation, qui a été perdu vers le vide lors du précédent cycle de désorption.

Abstract: A receiver (10) for a wireless telecommunications system that provides relatively wideband signal processing of received signals without increased signal distortion so that multiple received signals can be simultaneously processed. The receiver (10) includes a specialized LNA (16), frequency down-converter (18) and ADC (20) to perform the wideband signal processing while maintaining receiver performance. The frequency down-converter (18) employs a suitable mixer (28), BPA (32), attenuator (34), and transformer (36) that are tuned to provide the desired frequency down-conversion and amplitude control over the desired wideband. The down-converter devices are selected depending on the particular performance criteria of the ADC (20). A specialized digital channelizer (22) is included in the receiver (10) that receives the digital signal from the ADC (20), and separates the signals into the multiple channels. In one embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a single down-conversion process, and the ADC (20) employs delta-sigma processing to provide digital conversion over the complete frequency band. In an alternate embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a double down-conversion process so that a less complex ADC (62) can be used.

Abstract: A semiconductor device 10 has a minute charge
detecting circuit 3 and a test circuit 2 for suppressing
harmful influence of stray capacitance and external noises
during detection of a minute electric charge. The minute
charge detecting circuit 3 is constructed of a differential
amplifier OP, a charge detecting capacitance C1 and a
charge-discharging switch SW1. The test circuit 3 is
constructed of a charge transforming capacitance Ct, a
first switch M1 and a second switch M2. A voltage
variation ΔVi of an input voltage signal S1 for giving the
minute electric charge is determined on the basis of a
capacitance ratio of the charge transforming capacitance Ct
to the charge detecting capacitance C1. By making a
capacitance value of the charge transforming capacitance Ct
smaller than that of the charge detecting capacitance C1,
the voltage variation ΔVi is increased so that the harmful
influence of stray capacitance and external noises is
reduced.
