Abstract: A new technique is presented which exploits AC Hall effect in the characterization of layered semiconductor structures. The method involves the use of laser signals by means of optical fibers in the presence of a DC magnetic bias field. Upon incidence the polarization of the optical signal is rotated via a Lorentz force due to the AC Hall effect. As such, the reflected waves carry informations on the Hall mobility of the charge carriers. The calculations show that AC Hall reflection coefficient warrants sufficient intensity to be measured. Our theory is complete in the sense that depth profiling has been explicitly incorporated in the formulation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an apparatus enabling water-conditioning processes to be performed using a heater initially equipped with an aquarium tank for the purpose of supplying heat. Instead of allowing heat to propagate globally, reactor housing is introduced in the tank enclosing the heater so as to form a localized hot zone. The temperatures of the hot zone are maintained at high degrees sufficient to initiate various water-conditioning processes with efficiency, including alga control, ammonia control, water-hardness control, and sterilization. The construction of the reactor housing is simple and inexpensive, and its geometry is compatible to a heater which can be purchased commercially. In short, multiple functions are added to a heater installed in an aquarium, performing water-conditioning processes in addition to the basic task of supplying heat, allowing water quality of the aquarium to be improved and maintained.

Abstract: Disclosed is one method and one apparatus which teach improved techniques in using a shaped bias magnetic field over the active region of a ferrite stripline circulator/isolator circuit. The axial component of the bias field is decreased from the center toward edge, thus it is able to accommodate the accompanying changes in magnetization. This fulfills the requirements that frequencies are scaled with distances thereby warranting broadband operation. Furthermore, the radial component of the bias field is reduced, so as to minimize the generation of non-circulation volume modes. The discontinuity in magnetization distributed over the circulator/isolator active region is reduced, so as to minimize the generation of magnetostatic surface modes. The resultant circulator/isolator performance can thus show a broad bandwidth with improved characteristics in insertion loss and in isolation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for establishing and utilizing electronic tracks on roads for ground vehicles so as to ease the driving task with added safety and efficiency. Electronic tracks define traces on roads guiding the movement of a ground vehicle in as much as the same way that railroad tracks confine the movement of a train. Speed control can be achieved by using equipments detecting the driving conditions and the road environment along with the gliding action of the ground vehicle on electronic tracks. Automation in driving is thus possible, at least partially. Electronic map can be constructed consisting of many of the electronic tracks. Based upon both the static and dynamic information on roads, an electronic map is able to configure an optimal route connecting two addresses with the shortest time in traveling.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an apparatus enabling operation of balanced phase shifts providing uniformity that the insertion loss do not show variation with the derived angles in phase shift. The invention incorporates a resonator supporting nonreciprocal wave propagation. The resonator is divided in two equal parts showing symmetry so that the change in electronic parameters from one part of the resonator counter balances the other part, thereby causing no change to the resonance condition. Amplifiers are thus not needed by the phase-shift operation. Electronically active materials, such as ferrites, ferroelectrics, and/or varactors, are utilized, and the phase shifter device can be fabricated assuming a variety of transmission-line geometries, such as microstrips, striplines, waveguides, coax lines, parallel wires, coplanar waveguides, image lines, fin lines, and slot lines, providing versatility and convenience in applications.

Abstract: Disclosed are one method and one apparatus which enable a non-reciprocal microwave resonator to be coupled in and out at various positions showing the circular symmetry. As such, the transmission phase, but not the amplitude, can be varied, resulting in the operation of a digital phaser. The resonator is electrically connected to two network feeders each of which provides separate phase selectivity. The overall phase selectivity of the phaser is the product of the selectivities of these two network feeders, resulting in a less volume, and hence reduced fabrication costs.

Abstract: A magnetic/acoustic transducer is disclosed. The transducer can be used in security/smart tag applications. The transducer includes a sensor tag made of magnetic metallic glass having a relatively high magnetostriction and a relatively low coercivity. Driving signals are provided by an rf dipole loop antenna. The tag responds to the rf signals and converts the exciting magnetic field into acoustic signals via magnetoelastic coupling. That is, the tag is forced to vibrate in unison with the incident electromagnetic signals generating longitudinal acoustic waves along a length of the tag. This results in radiation of ultrasound waves in air which can then be detected and characterized using an ultrasound microphone or a piezoelectric sensor. The tag is provided having a length equal to one half or one quarter long of an acoustic wavelength so that an acoustic resonance condition is established to maximize the generation of ultrasound waves in air. The measured ultrasound signal is locked in phase with the excitation or reference signal for sensitive long-range detection. The tag can operate in a magnetized or a demagnetized state to stimulate binary signals for security-tag applications. Tags of different length and/or geometry can be deployed in combination so that the tag transducer produces unique and distinguishable frequency spectrums to be used as smart tags.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and two devices for obtaining phase shifts by using a non-reciprocal resonator supporting single-mode operation. As such, wave propagation in the resonator is unambiguous in phase, allowing the phase to be coupled in or out at different positions. This results in novel phase shifter devices of two kinds: One kind of the devices suggests to change the coupling positions by using switches, and the other kind suggests to use a movable port to be driven by a step motor, for example. In this invention the phase-shift function performed by a non-reciprocal resonator invokes no use of a transmission line, none for the adjustment in its electronic properties, including permittivity and permeability. The operation of the disclosed phase shifter devices is uniform, being independent of the phase-shift angles, exhibiting low insertion loss and low return loss. Depending on the purpose of applications, versatile phase shifter devices can thus be fabricated, showing the following advantages, economy, reduced size, fast response, high isolation, minimum internal reflection, and compatibility with the current semiconductor fabrication techniques. This invention favors the fabrication of large phased array systems, where available space, cost, and power dissipation can be of primary concerns.
