Patent EP-0837562-A3 (EP)
IPC: H03K19/0175
Filed: 1992-12-16
Abstract: A push-pull output driver circuit is disclosed which includes
control circuitry for controlling the gates of the driver
transistors to effect precharge of the output terminal at the
beginning of a cycle. Precharge is initiated at the beginning of
each cycle, for example indicated by an address transition. The
prior data state at the output is stored, and enables the opposing
driver transistor from that which drove the stored prior data state
by enabling a gated level detector with hysteresis, such as a
Schmitt trigger, associated therewith. The transistor that drove
the stored prior data state is disabled, thus precluding
oscillations during precharge. The gated Schmitt triggers each
receive the voltage of the output terminal and, when enabled, turn
on a transistor which couples the output terminal to the gate of
the driver transistor. The Schmitt triggers also control the
precharge to terminate when the output terminal has reached an
intermediate voltage, and so that oscillations are minimized as a
result of the hysteresis characteristic. Connection of the output
terminal to the gate of the precharging driver transistor helps to
eliminate overshoot during precharge.

Abstract: A method is provided for admitting new requests for service in a shared
resource having a capacity. The new request has service priority levels associated
therewith. In one embodiment of the invention, for example, the shared resource
may be a packet communications network and the service request may be a request
to admit a new connection. The method proceeds as follows. First, for each service
priority level on said shared resource, a total effective bandwidth is generated which
is represented by a sum of individual effective bandwidths of previously admitted
requests for service. Subsequent to receiving a new request for service having a
specified priority of service level, a plurality of effective bandwidths are accessed
for the new request. The plurality of effective bandwidths are respectively associated
with the specified service priority level and service priority levels therebelow. The
new request is admitted if, for the specified service priority level and for each
service priority level therebelow, the sum of (i) said total effective bandwidth for a
given service priority level and (ii) for said new request, the effective bandwidth at
the given service priority is less than the capacity.

Abstract: A broadband wavelength-selectable laser includes a gain
medium (22), an optical transmission filter (26), and an optical fiber (28) with
a reflective filter such as a series of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) (30, 32, 34,
36). The gain medium is preferably a semiconductor laser diode that
generates broadband optical energy. The gain medium is optically connected
to the optical transmission filter, such as a bandpass filter, a notch filter, or a
periodic filter, which converts the broadband optical energy into filtered optical
energy having wavelength bands of high transmissivity and wavelength
bands of low transmissivity. The optical transmission filter is optically
connected to the series of FBGs that reflects different wavelength bands of
optical energy. Either the optical transmission filter or the FBGs are tunable
over a wavelength range that includes the desired laser wavelengths. Tuning
a laser to a selected wavelength requires tuning either the optical
transmission filter or the FBG that corresponds to the desired wavelength so
that the selected wavelength of optical energy is reflected back toward the
gain medium, thereby inducing lasing at the selected wavelength. The single
wavelength laser light is suitable for wavelength division multiplexed
applications.

Abstract: A method of forming high definition patterned organic layers in a
full-color electroluminescent (EL) display array on a two-dimensional thin film
transistor (TFT) array substrate is described. The substrate has subpixels with each
subpixel having raised surface portions and one recessed surface portion which
reveals a bottom electrode. Red, green, and blue color forming organic EL layers
are formed in the designated subpixels in accordance with a selected color pattern.

organic EL material onto the designated recessed surface portions of the substrate
forming the colored EL medium in the designated subpixels. Optical masks and,
alternatively, an aperture mask are used to selectively vapor deposit respective red,
green, and blue organic EL media into the designated color EL subpixels.

Abstract: A system for restricting access to transmitted programming content is disclosed, which
transmits the encryption key used to encrypt the program to the customer with the encrypted
programming content. A set-top terminal or similar mechanism restricts access to the transmitted
multimedia information using stored decryption keys. The set-top terminal preferably receives one or
more package keys, SJ, periodically from the service provider, each corresponding to a package of
programs that the customer is entitled to for a given period. Each program is preferably encrypted by
the head-end server pnor to transmission using a program key, KP, which may be unique to the
program. Header information is transmitted with the encrypted program to the customers, containing
a package pair for each package to which the program belongs. A package pair preferably includes an

SJ. The broadcast of a given program, p, preferably consists of a header portion containing a
package pair for each package that the program belongs to, and a program portion containing the
program encrypted with the program key, KP. If a customer is entitled to a particular program, the
set-top terminal will be able to decrypt the encrypted program key, KP, using an appropriate stored
package key, SJ, and thereafter use the program key, KP, to decrypt the encrypted program. The
header information can be interleaved with the program portion or transmitted on a separate dedicated
control channel.

Abstract: Orthopaedic wires, cables, and methods of making them are based on the
discovery that, in clinical orthopaedic applications, material toughness and fatigue
strength are as important or more important than ultimate tensile strength. The wires
and cables of the invention have a tensile strength lower than 280 ksi, but higher than
175 ksi. The presently preferred wires and cables have a tensile strength of 210-240
ksi. The fatigue strength of the wires and cables of the invention is between six and
ten times that of other high strength cables used in orthopaedic applications. One
method of making the wires and cables includes annealing high tensile strength wire
or cable to reduce its tensile strength and thereby increase its fatigue strength.
Another method is to cold work fully annealed wire or cable to the extent of decreasing
its cross section by approximately 18%. Presently preferred wires and cables
according to the invention are made from chromium-cobalt alloy, preferably wrought
VITALLIUM (registered trademark) alloy.
