摘要:
A ghost canceller which operates at IF and utilizes a storage mode heterojunction acoustic charge transport device (SM-HACT). The signal delay provided by the SM-HACT is increased by the operation of barrier electrodes which delay the movement of charge packets across the device, thereby eliminating the need for additional digital equalization. The tap weights of the SM-HACT are determined by the operation of a fixed correlator which responds to ghosts in a predetermined training waveform.

A method for simultaneously sequencing both strands of a target DNA is provided. The method involves "shifting" one or both strands of the target DNA by addition or deletion of one or more nucleotides to one or both strands of the duplex to produce shifted DNA. Both strands of the shifted DNA duplex and the target DNA are sequenced and the sequences of the shifted and unshifted target DNA are compared. Since portions of the sequenced strands of the target and shifted DNA are identical, all or a portion of sequence of the target DNA can be determined.

A system and method for monitoring the tension loading of a conveyor chain (12) utilizing a transducer (22) that is mounted on the chain to travel therewith and generate an electrical signal based on the tension of the chain (12) and a data logger (60) mounted on the chain for converting the electrical signal into tension data for storage in a memory (132) of the logger on the chain. The system also includes an infrared transmitter (146 ) for generating a position signal representing a predetermined position of the chain (12). The method utilizes the data logger (60) and involves mounting the logger on the chain and placing the chain under tension. The method further involves generating an electrical signal based on the tension of the chain, converting the electrical signal into tension data and storing the tension data in the memory on the chain.

A high definition television acoustic charge transport filter bank significantly lowers the amount of digital processing needed in a high definition television. The filter bank effects frequency shifting by undersampling input waveforms to create aliasing, and by sampling output waveforms to shift received signals up in frequency. The filter bank is highly accurate and inexpensive because of the simple acoustic charge transport filter structure, high charge transport efficiency, linear phase and sample data operation.

A digital-to-analog converter for an acoustic charge transport (ACT) device that permits an ACT device to directly accept digital inputs. The digital-to-analog converter includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converter circuits that convert respective groups of digital information applied to the ACT device to corresponding analog voltages. The corresponding analog voltages are applied to respective input contacts that are isolated by charge barriers formed in a channel region of the ACT device. Each of the input contacts generates a charge packet having a charge magnitude corresponding to a numerical value of an input group of the applied digital information. The charge packets generated by each of the input contacts coalesces into a collective charge packet which then travels through the ACT device.

An infusion device for a syringe includes a ratcheted stepper motor driven intermittently under the control of a control circuit to advance a syringe plunger driver. Different speeds are determined by the detected size of the syringe in the device. A clutch assembly disengageably connects the plunger driver to a drive belt driven by the stepper motor.A connector for a tubing set has a syringe-connect portion located in a recess of the connector, and cooperates with a force sensor in the device to detect occlusions. The connector has annular projecting portions with parallel, spaced apart actuating surfaces for engagement of the force sensor in either of two positions of the connector in the device. The connector is adapted to indicate to a sensor in which position it is located.

A line switch for a digital telephone switching system utilizes distributed processing. The line switch comprises one or more switch modules. Each switch module is coupled to a central office switching system via one or more PCM lines which utilize common channel signaling. Each switch module comprises groups of line circuits, each line circuit being coupled to a subscriber line. Three separate distributed processor functions are provided in each line switch module. A first processor is utilized to communicate with the central office switching system is provided to control clock generation and rate conversion circuits. Each group of line circuits includes a third processor to control the operations of the line circuits and to gather information from the line circuit.A test bus is routed to the line circuits. The third processor may be utilized to automatically measure and adjust various transmission parameters.

A portion of the apparatus, which requires low voltage DC energy for its energization, is connected in series with an SCR between a single pair of input or energizing terminals. A series RC circuit is connected across the SCR, and the junction within this series circuit is connected through a zener diode to the gate of the SCR. When low voltage DC is applied between the input terminals, it turns on the SCR continuously and effectively appears across the noted apparatus portion to properly energize the latter. When high voltage AC is applied between the same input terminals, it turns on the SCR for only a predetermined part of each cycle of the AC. This part is made to be such that the resulting voltage across the noted apparatus portion is effectively the same when the high voltage AC is applied between the input terminals as it is when the low voltage DC is applied between the same input terminals.
摘要:
The potent hardenability effect of manganese and its relatively low cost and availability make it an attractive candidate for the production of high strength steels, especially in the range of about 2.0 to 6.0 percent manganese. The main deterent to the use of such high manganese steels has been their poor toughness. This can be improved by producing steels with high purity or with controlled low carbon contents. However, the requirements of high purity and very low carbon tend to offset, to a large extent, the cost advantage of manganese. The instant invention utilizes an intercritical anneal at a temperature just slightly above austenite start temperature (A.sub.s) in order to form retained austenite at the grain boundaries. The steel is heated at temperatures from the A.sub.s to about A.sub.s + 75.degree. C for time periods varying from as little as one minute to 16 hours, the time being generally inversely proportional to the temperature. While this annealing procedure will produce enhanced toughness for high purity steels containing controlled low carbon contents, it will also provide steels containing a combination of high strength (greater than 90 ksi) with a CVN energy absorption value at minus 50.degree. F of greater than 30 ft./lbs. even for steels containing normal impurity levels and conventional carbon contents.
