Abstract: A magnetoresistive head includes a magnetoresistive element (22) set back from the front end face of the head confronting a record medium for converting changes in a signal magnetic field leaking out from the record track (35) of the record medium (34) into changes in resistance. The magnetoresistive element is connected to a pair of terminals (28a,28b) and a sense region (22a) is defined between both the terminals. The magnetoresistive element is magnetically coupled to a front flux guide (24), one end of which is exposed in the front end face of the head, at the other end of the same. The front flux guide is virtually in the form of a rectangle elongated in the direction of the width of the record track of the record medium so as to exceed the sense region of the magnetoresistive element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for smelting metal and for processing molten metal, particularly non-ferrous metal, the solid metal being fed to a chamber and being carried from one chamber to another through passages which connect the chambers to one another, the metal simultaneously being melted or processed by means of thermal radiation from the tops of the chambers. In this arrangement one or more pumps act on the space above the molten metal in one or more pump chambers which are connected to the pump, each of which chambers is connected in the region of the bottom to a molten chamber by way of passages which carry molten metal to the pump chamber and connected to a spray chamber from where molten metal is fed to a pipe for processing or recycling. The invention is characterised in that approximately three times to fifteen times the quantity and, in the optimum case, six times to ten times the quantity of molten metal per unit time is supplied to the spray chamber by each pump chamber as from the same pump chambers to the spray chamber if the pressure in the pump-chamber space above the molten metal increases or decreases. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Power dissipation in precharge paths used in adiabatic dynamic logic circuitry is reduced by a precharge boost circuit (124,126) which decreases the impedance between a clock node (120) and an output node (122) in such logic circuitry and thereby increases the charging current from clock signal generator (Φ₀). In one example, a diode (124) used to precharge an output node in adiabatic dynamic logic circuitry is selectively shorted by a controllable switch (126) selectively connected in parallel with the diode when the output node is to be precharged.

Abstract: A method for globally planarizing an integrated circuit device wafer having a plurality of structures disposed on a surface thereof, the structures forming up and down features on the wafer's surface. The method involves depositing a fill layer over the surface of the wafer to cover the structures. Next, an etch mask layer is deposited over the fill layer. After the etch mask layer is fabricated, openings are formed in the etch mask layer to expose areas of the fill layer that are to be subsequently etched. This is accomplished in the first embodiment of the invention by creating self aligned openings in the etch mask layer using CMP if the gaps between the structures are only partially filled. If the gaps between the structures are completely filled, openings in the etch mask layer can be provided by patterning the etch mask layer using lithography and performing an optional spacer deposition and etching step as described in a second embodiment of the invention. In either case, the exposed areas of the fill layer are then etched to provide a second surface having up features that are substantially smaller than the up features originally defined on the surface of the wafer. In the final step of the method, the up features of the second surface are polished to provide a planarized wafer surface.

Abstract: An electronic control system (70) for a vacuum cleaner is provided that supports two-way communications between a control unit (72) in the handle of the vacuum cleaner and a suction motor (92) and various sensors in the canister of the vacuum cleaner, using wires (106) contained within the hose of the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner may be placed in one of two user-selectable bag change modes. In a maximum suction (MAX SUCTION) bag change mode, the electronic control system of vacuum cleaner will shut off the vacuum cleaner when the vacuum cleaner bag has filled and the suction power of the unit has been degraded as a result. If the maximum fill (MAX FILL) bag change mode is selected, the electronic control system (70) will shut off the vacuum cleaner only after the bag has filled to the maximum extent allowable. The control system has indicator lights (82) to display to the user whether the maximum suction or the maximum fill mode has been selected. The control unit (72) also includes a dust detection circuit (88) linked to an optical dust sensor (90) which is based on one-piece lens units located in the vacuum cleaner handle for monitoring the frequency with which dust particles flow through the hose into the vacuum cleaner. The control system can automatically adjust the power setting of the vacuum cleaner based on the measured frequency.

Abstract: Multi-mode waveguide filters are temperature compensated using dielectric material (8, 10) contained within a dual mode cavity (2) of a filter. The variation in operating frequency of the filter that would otherwise result from changes in temperature is substantially balanced by a change in operating frequency with temperature caused by a change in a dielectric constant of the dielectric material (8, 10) so that the operating frequency of the filter remains substantially constant with temperature. In a method of constructing and compensating a filter, the amount of dielectric material (8, 10) is selected so that the dielectric material does not resonate at the operating frequency of the cavity (2), the amount of dielectric material in the cavity being adjustable after each cavity is constructed. The cavity is operated with a fixed amount of dielectric material contained in the cavity for each mode and the change in operating frequency of the filter with temperature is determined. If the change in operating frequency of the filter is not at an acceptable level, the amount of dielectric material contained in the cavity for each mode is varied and the filter is operated through a range of temperatures to determine whether the change in operating frequency is then at an acceptable level. These steps are repeated until the change in operating frequency of the filter is at an acceptable level. When the change in operating frequency of the filter with temperature is at an acceptable level, these filters can be used in satellites without a temperature control system.
