Patent EP-0538244-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DECKARD CARL R
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 1987-10-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for selectively sintering a layer of powder to produce a part comprising a plurality of sintered layers. The apparatus includes a computer (40) controlling a laser (12) to direct the laser energy onto the powder to produce a sintered mass. The computer either determines or is programmed with the boundaries of the desired cross-sectional regions of the part. For each cross-section, the aim of the laser beam is scanned over a layer of powder and the beam is switched on to sinter only the powder within the boundaries of the cross-section. Powder is applied and successive layers sintered until a completed part is formed. The powder may consist of a plastic, metal, ceramic, or polymer substance. In the preferred embodiment, the aim of the laser is directed in a continuous raster scan and the laser turned on when the beam is aimed within the boundaries of the particular cross-section being formed. Preferably, the powder dispensing mechanism includes a drum which is moved horizontally across the target area and counter-rotated to smooth and distribute the powder in an even layer across the target area. A downdraft system provides controlled temperature air flow through the target area to moderate powder temperature during sintering.

Abstract: An electron gun for use in a cathode ray tube (CRT) includes a cathode, a low voltage beam forming region (BFR), and a high voltage deflection focus lens disposed in the beam deflection region of the CRT's magnetic deflection yoke for simultaneous and coincident focusing and deflection of the electron beam on the CRT's display screen. The deflection lens includes a plurality of first focus grids disposed in the CRT's neck portion including a spaced first pair of grids each having respective beam passing apertures, with one of the beam passing apertures horizontally offset and the other beam passing aperture vertically offset from the electron beam axis. Other grids disposed on opposed sides of each of the first pair of grids have respective beam passing apertures centered with respect to the electron beam axis and are maintained at a fixed focus voltage. A dynamic focus correction voltage which varies with electron beam deflection is applied to each of the first pair of grids for compensating for asymmetric off-axis electron beam defocusing at all points on the CRT's faceplate. This dynamic off-axis defocusing correction is equally applicable in a single beam, monochromatic deflection lens CRT as well as in a multi-beam, color deflection lens CRT.

Abstract: For bidirectional transmission of packet data, a packet data service unit (Agent) is in a digital cellular system connected to be in association with a Mobile Switching Center, said unit connecting the cellular network to the data network. As a mobile station is connected to the packet data service unit, signalling related to connection formation characteristic of the network is first accomplished. As a result thereof, the mobile station and the data service unit are provided with a number of stored parameters of each other. Such situation is called virtual channel. When a mobile station wants to transmit or receive data packets, between the mobile station and the data service unit a packet data transfer channel is established making use of the data of the virtual channel and thereby, using substantially less signalling than the channel establishment signalling characteristic of the network, one part thereof being a radio channel and the other part a time slot in a digital trunk line. On terminated data packet transfer, at least said radio channel is disassembled but the virtual channel is maintained until the disconnection of the mobile station from the data service.

Abstract: In a learning network (or neural network), nodal outputs are discretized to values of S2 n  where n is an integer and S is equal to +1 or -1. During forward propagation, this offers the advantage of forming a product of a nodal output and a weight using a simple shift operation rather than a multiply operation. Replacing multiply operations with shift operations through out a neural network improves response times and permits building larger networks that have broader applicability. Training is also improved by increasing the efficiency of backward propagation. The multiplications involved in backward propagation are reduced to shift operations by discretizing the errors associated with each node so that they are represented as S2 n  where n is an integer and S is equal to +1 or -1.

Abstract: The invention improves etch uniformity across a silicon wafer surface in an RF plasma etch reactor. In a first aspect of the invention, etch uniformity is enhanced by reducing the etchant species (e.g., Chlorine) ion and radical densities near the wafer edge periphery (125a) without a concomitant reduction over the wafer center, by diluting the etchant (Chlorine) with a diluent gas which practically does not etch Silicon (e.g., Hydrogen Bromide) near the wafer edge periphery (125a). In a second aspect of the invention, etch rate uniformity is enhanced by more rapidly disassociating Chlorine molecules over the center of the wafer to increase the local etch rate, without a concomitant hastening of Chlorine dissociation near the wafer periphery, by the introduction of an inert gas over the wafer center. In a third aspect of the invention, etch rate uniformity is enhanced by forcing gas flow from the gas distribution plate downward toward the wafer center to provide a greater concentration of Chlorine ions over the wafer center, by reducing the effective diameter of the chamber between the gas distribution plate and the wafer to approximately the diameter of the wafer. In a fourth aspect of the invention, etch rate uniformity is enhanced by reducing RF power near the wafer edge periphery, by reducing the RF pedestal to a diameter substantially less than that of the wafer.

Abstract: The main body of the cladding panel is made of foamed plastics (7). The outer part of the panel has a layer of aggregate (10) embedded in the plastics to present an outer weatherproof layer which matches the rest of the building and which gives the appearance of masonry panels. The depth of aggregate is much larger than the particle size.   The aggregate, which can be sand, chippings, pebbles or a mixture of materials, is bonded into the plastics during foaming. The aggregate layer is typically between 4 and 10 mm. The panel is prepared by layering the aggregate onto a sand base and spreading the plastics foam over the top with a controlled thickness. Aggregate not taken up by the plastics is brushed off.

Abstract: A spectral polarisation separator (SPS) designed to separate two wavelength-separated signals applied to the SPS with the same state of polarisation (SOP) into signals with orthogonal SOP's comprises two or more birefringent fibre elements (1, 2) optically in series. The differential delays and relative orientations of these elements are chosen so that polarisation separation is effected without introducing any polarisation mode dispersion (PMD). This contrasts with a prior art single birefringent element SPS whose operation necessarily does introduce PMD. 
     A particular application for the SPS is in a dual wavelength transmitter designed for overcoming polarisation hole-burning effects in a long-haul optically amplified transmission system.

Abstract: A disclosed method and apparatus reduces the number of computations and simplifies the hardware required to provide compressed video output data. Video input data is converted (57) into input pixel blocks. Best predicted blocks and associated motion vectors are determined (91,93,97) for input pixel blocks located in a predetermined area of the image. In addition, candidate predicted blocks are determined for other input pixel blocks. This is done (65,75,80,85,90,95) by extrapolating motion vectors from the previously determined associated motion vectors and identifying candidate predicted blocks using the extrapolated motion vectors. The candidate predicted blocks are mutually compared (65), and one of the blocks is selected consistent with compression data rate requirements. The selected block is compressed (70) to provide an output block which is formatted (100) into an output data packet. A block match search is used (85,95) to identify candidate Field predicted blocks and associated motion vectors from which other motion vectors are extrapolated and used to identify additional predicted blocks.
