Patent EP-0685786-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHANKAR RAVI
IPC: G06F7/57
Filed: 1995-05-18
Abstract: A combined multiplier/shifter (150) uses an existing high-speed multiplier (55) to perform both multiplies and programmable left and right shifts without a dedicated high-speed shifter. A shift decoder (160) used in a shift mode provides first recoded signals according to a shift count and a shift direction. A recoder (161) recodes a multiplier input in a multiply mode to provide second recoded signals. A multiplier array (163) receives either a multiplicand or a shift operand at its multiplicand input, and uses either the first or second recoded signals selectively according to the mode. An output of the multiplier array (163) is either a product in the multiply mode or a first shift result in the shift mode. An output shifter (157) selectively adjusts the first shift result according to the shift direction to provide a second, final shift result.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for selecting a semiconductor integrated optical modulator/laser light source device comprising a modulator section (3) and a laser section (2). The method comprises the following steps. The laser section (2) is supplied with a direct current which is equal to or larger than a threshold current for allowing the laser section (2) to show a laser emission when the modulator section (3) is supplied with a pulse signal for allowing the modulator section (3) to show a pulse modulation so as to allow a light emitted directly from a facet of the laser section (2) to show a transmission through a light wavelength dispersion medium within which the light on transmission shows a dispersion in wavelength. An intensity of the light having shown the dispersion in wavelength is measured to find a coefficient of variation in intensity of the light, wherein the variation is due to a wavelength chirping. There is verified the fact that the coefficient of variation in intensity of the light be below a predetermined reference level.

Abstract: The cold air is delivered from the inlet (1) to a stop valve (2), esp. a shutter. This divides it into currents, one passing directly to a mixing chamber (3) and the other to the latter via the exchanger (4). Behind the stop valve, the cold air is first passed round the exchanger, which it then enters at the side furthest from the inlet. The valve can consist of a two-leaved pivoting shutter which can be set in intermediate positions between the extreme ones for hot and cold air (6,7). Between the exchanger end furthest from the mixing chamber and the shutter axis (23) there can be a wall (24) with seal (25), deflecting the heated air to the centre of the mixing chamber.

Abstract: The system includes transmitting data from a first piece of equipment (TE) to a receiver in a second piece of equipment (TR). Intermediate equipment on the receiving side offsets (30) the binary data output as a function of the data error. The data error represents the quality of the data received at the intermediate equipment level. The data is transmitted in frames and the quality is measured by a code controller according to the number of frames determined as incorrect by the code control processing at each intermediate level. The error information is transmitted between the intermediate equipment, allowing bad reception at particular stages to be noted.

Abstract: A windscreen wiper assembly for motor vehicles is provided with an aerodynamic deflector (7), mounted on the wiper arm (3), to prevent the floating up of the wiper blade during high speed travel. The wiper arm (3) is elongated (3f) such that the arm (3) extends longitudinally beyond the blade connection (5a), ie beyond the position at which the wiper blade assembly (5) is pivotally connected to the arm (3). The deflector (7) is attached to the wiper arm (3) and arm extension (3f) at positions (8,3h) on either side of the blade connection (5a). This mounting structure for the deflector (7) is particularly applicable to pantographic-type wipers, where a compact structure, using few additional parts, is achieved, and which also avoids interference of the deflector (7) with other parts of the wiper assembly (3,4,5).

Abstract: This invention, using finely ground powders obtained by either a ingot grinding method, a Ca reduction diffusion method or a strip casting method, proposes a fabrication method for high-performance R-Fe-B permanent magnets with excellent press packing characteristics, a high degree of orientation of the magnetization direction of each crystallite and a total sum of A, (BH)max (MGOe) and B, iHc (kOe), A+B greater than 59.5. Here, cast alloys or ground alloys are coarse ground by mechanical grinding or by a H₂ absorption and decomposition method, and then fine ground by either mechanical grinding or by ajet mill grinding process to yield R-Fe-B fine powders with an average particle size of 1.0 µm ∼ 10 µm. These powders are then packed into a mold at a packing density of 1.4∼3.5 g/cm³, a pulsed magnetic field with a field intensity greater than 10 kOe is applied so as to repeatedly invert the magnetization direction, and finally cold isostatic pressing is performed in a static magnetic field.

Abstract: A thermally activated occlusive implant delivery assembly is provided. The assembly includes an occlusive implant device and a pusher. The pusher has a distal section and a proximal section. The distal section includes a coupling portion which is shape memory material and exhibits different configurations depending on the coupling portion's temperature. The coupling portion inesrlcskingly engages the implant when it is in one of the configurations and releases the implant from interlocking engagement therewith when in another one of the configurations. In operation, the assembly is introduced into the body of a mammal via a guide catheter suited for the particular lumen being navigated. When the implant is positioned at the desired site, the coupling pcrtion of the pusher is thermally activated to affect the return of its original, pre-set configuration, which is originally formed to release the implant from interlocking engagement therewith. The pusher can then be readily removed from the mammal without imparting any significant force on the implant during retraction.
