Abstract: A faceplate (10a) for directly viewing an image generated by a digital micromirror device (10b), which generates images by tilting tiny mirror elements (11) to on or off positions. The faceplate (10a) has a number of optical fibres (12) parallel to each other and closely spaced together. The ends of the optical fibres (12) are the top and bottom surfaces of the faceplate (10a). Both ends of each fibre (12) is sliced at an angle determined by the on position of the mirror elements (11). This permits light to travel down the fibres (12) and be reflected back to the viewer by only those mirror elements (11) that are on.

Abstract: A microcomputer has an internal program memory (13) for storing a program and/or data, an external program memory (20) for storing a program and/or data, a CPU (11) for outputting a first address, for fetching an instruction stored at a location indicated by the first address from the internal program memory or the external program memory and executing the fetched instruction, and for, when the instruction instructs to read out a program or data, outputting a second address, and an internal program memory read protection circuit (12) for receiving the first address output from the CPU and checking if the first address is present in the address space of the internal program memory, for receiving, from the CPU, the second address indicating the storage location of a program or data to be read out in accordance with the instruction and checking if the second address is present in the address space of the internal program memory. When the first address is not present in the address space of the internal program memory and the second address is present in the address space of the internal program memory, the internal program memory read protection circuit outputs a read inhibition signal to the internal program memory. The internal program memory does not execute a read access upon reception of the read inhibition signal.

Abstract: A sensing system (10) detects elastic waves propagated along a sensing path in a sheet to detect a characteristic of material contacting the other side of the sheet. An acoustic load applied between transducers (12,14) discriminates characteristics in diverse environments. Different systems detect density, stiffness, presence, degree of coupling, thickness, or fill height of the material, with applications to areas as diverse as aircraft wing ice measurement, storage tank (2) fill height detection, and mass flow detection. In one preferred embodiment a protective housing (16) covers and protects the first side of the sheet over a region of the sheet encompassing the sensing path, and may secure transducers (12,14) in defined positions. The housing (16) preferably defines a closed reservoir (R) that is temporarily filled to determine a normative measurement such as transit time or change in phase velocity. The normative measurement provides an empirical calibration that, in turn, allows a final parameter or a detection threshold to be precisely determined.

Abstract: Changing ω₀ in a transfer function is much easier than recombining transfer functions of a built-in filter. Noticing this point, the circuit uses a method of shifting the frequency characteristic of a bell filer or antibell filter instead of changing a bell and antibell and uses means for changing central frequencies while keeping the amplitude characteristic constant. Therefore, input sides of filters can be changed so that a signal processing system can also shift frequencies. Moreover, by separately preparing a reference signal, adjustment is omitted by making the reference signal pass through the bell and antibell filters at the same time and monitoring and adjusting filter characteristics one by one.

Abstract: A dual chamber pacemaker is provided with the capability of determining when there is retrograde conduction, and responding by switching into an asynchronous mode of ventricular pacing. The pacemaker's response to RC further includes delivering at least a first asynchronous ventricular pace pulse at a ventricular escape interval calculated to occur at an appropriate AV delay following the next expected spontaneous natural beat. Thus, the ventricular escape interval can be calculated as            V       esc            = VA + AA       avg            + AV       min             , where VA is the retrograde time from the prior ventricular pulse to the retrograde atrial sense (or PAC), AA avg  is a measure of the average natural atrial rate before retrograde conduction, and AV min  is a predetermined value of AV delay. This optimum value of V esc  is designed to regain synchronous tracking of the natural sinus after the first extended ventricular pulse. Alternatively, the response can aim to regain tracking in N cycles, where            V       esc            = AA       avg        + Δ         , where            Δ = (AV       min        + VA)/N         .

Abstract: Each peripheral unit or slave (SB) linked by a data bus (DA) to a central control computer produces performance events within intervals of e.g. 15 min. set by a local clock oscillator (OZ). The events loaded into a count register (PZ) are assembled into data sets (DS) and time-stamped for transmission on demand to the central processor.   During each interval, various signal defects (e.g. value discontinuities) and transmission bit errors are detected by monitoring hardware (UHW) and buffer-stored in 1-second registers. Elapsed seconds are counted (MS), and a run counter (AZ) is decremented until readiness of a complete data set is flagged (RF).
