    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor having a cuboid piezoelectric element (1) which carries an actuating member (2) for transmitting a force in an actuating direction (x). In known motors the piezoelectric element (1) is restrained by four restraining elements which are disposed in the plane of vibration (x/y plane) and which exert a preloading force on the piezoelectric element (1) in a direction perpendicular to the actuating direction (x). However, this gives rise to a frictional force between the restraining elements and the piezoelectric element, which reduces the vibration quality and, as a consequence, the motor power. This is avoided by means of the invention, where the piezoelectric element (1) is restrained by means of restraining elements (20, 21, 22, 23) without preloading, i.e. with maximal slidability in the directions (y, z) perpendicular to the actuating direction (x). Preferably, such a motor is used in drive apparatuses, particularly for driving the read/write unit on a pivotable arm or on a translatable slide.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device with a tunnel diode (23) is particularly suitable for various applications. Such a device comprises two mutually adjoining semiconductor regions (2, 3) of opposed conductivity types and having doping concentrations which are so high that breakdown between them leads to conduction by means of tunnelling. A disadvantage of the known device is that the current-voltage characteristic is not yet steep enough for some applications. In a device according to the invention, the portions (2A, 3A) of the semiconductor regions (2, 3) adjoining the junction (23) comprise a mixed crystal of silicon and germanium. It is surprisingly found that the doping concentration of both phosphorus and boron are substantially increased, given the same amount of dopants being offered as during the formation of the remainder of the regions (2, 3). The tunnelling efficiency is substantially improved as a result of this, and also because of the reduced bandgap of said portions (2A, 3A), and the device according to the invention has a much steeper current-voltage characteristic both in the forward and in the reverse direction. This opens perspectives for inter alia an attractive application where the tunnelling pn junction (23) is used as a transition between two conventional diodes, for example pn or pin diodes, which are used one stacked on the other and which can be formed in a single epitaxial growing process thanks to the invention. The portions (2A, 3A) adjoining the tunnelling junction (22) are preferably 5 to 30 nm thick and comprise between 10 and 50 at % germanium. The doping concentration may be 6null1019 or even more than 1020 at/cm3. The invention further relates to a simple method of manufacturing a device according to the invention. This is preferably done at a temperature of between 550null C. and 800null C.

    Abstract: A digital video recorder or similar apparatus implements a method of converting an input data stream having an MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) format into an output data stream having an MPEG-2 Program Stream (PS) format. The input data stream (TS) includes data of at least first and second elementary data streams (404, 406) formed and multiplexed in compliance with a TS decoder model. The first elementary stream is a video stream, while the second stream is an audio stream of lower data rate. The input stream is parsed (402) and the elementary streams are demultiplexed into respective FIFO queues 404/406. Each stream is further parsed to obtain and calculate time stamp information which is queued separately at (408/410) with pointers to the stream data (at 404/406). The schedule and packetisation applied to the elementary streams in the input stream (TS) cannot be applied directly in creating the output stream (PS). However, based on parameters and constraints imposed upon the input stream by the MPEG or other specifications, a remultiplexer 412 is able to reschedule and repacketise the elementary data streams into a valid output stream (TS), without the size of buffer that would be required for multiplexing of the elementary streams from scratch.

    Abstract translation: 数字录像机或类似装置实现将具有MPEG-2传输流(TS)格式的输入数据流转换为具有MPEG-2节目流(PS)格式的输出数据流的方法。 输入数据流(TS)包括根据TS解码器模型形成和复用的至少第一和第二基本数据流(404,406)的数据。 第一基本流是视频流,而第二流是较低数据速率的音频流。 对输入流进行解析(402),并将基本流解复用到相应的FIFO队列404/406中。 进一步分析每个流以获得并计算在(408/410)处分别排队的时间戳信息,其中指针指向流数据(在404/406)。 应用于输入流(TS)中的基本流的调度和分组化不能直接应用于创建输出流(PS)。 然而,基于通过MPEG或其他规范对输入流施加的参数和约束,重新多路复用器412能够将基本数据流重新调度和重新分组成有效输出流(TS),而不需要缓冲器的大小 用于从头开始复用基本流。

    Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent display device (2) comprises an array of display pixels (4) arranged in rows (6) and columns (8). Each pixel (4) comprises a current-driven electroluminescent display element (10). Each row (6) of pixels (4) shares a common line (20), currents through the display elements (10) of a row (6) of pixels passing along the common line (20). The width of each common line (20) tapers from one end (20a) to the other (20b), the common line (20) being coupled to row driver circuitry at the wider end (20a). The resistance of the common lines is thus reduced at the end of the common line near to the row driver circuitry, where the current flowing is derived from all pixels within the row. The invention thereby reduces voltage drops along the common line, which contribute to cross-talk between pixels within a row.
