Abstract: An accelerometer of the shear type comprises a base (1) with uprights (2) supporting one or more seismic masses (3) by way of one or more piezoelectric elements (4). According to the invention, the seismic mass(es) (3) and the piezoelectric elements (4) are arranged between the uprights (2). The seismic masses (3) and the piezoelectric elements are clamped between the uprights (2) by means of a clamping ring (5). The resulting resonance frequency is very high, and the accelerometer is less sensitive to temperature transients, magnetic fields and easier to produce than the known accelerometers.

Abstract: A J1 byte processing circuit is provided with a J1 byte latch pulse sampling circuit, which samples in preset periods a J1 byte latch pulse. The sampling circuit generates, in accordance with the sampled J1 byte latch pulse, a data acquisition request to instruct acquisition of a J1 byte from the path overhead of an SPE level signal of STS-1 with the J1 byte latch pulse sampled by the sampling circuit, and sends it to a microcomputer interface. The microcomputer acquires into it the J1 byte from the J1 latching section in accordance with the data acquisition request. This configuration reduces the processing load on the microcomputer, and thereby enables the microcomputer to execute other processes even during the collection of J1 bytes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of depositing a diamond-like carbon film onto a substrate by low temperature plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) from a hydrocarbon/helium plasma. More specifically, the diamond-like carbon films of the present invention are deposited onto the substrate by employing acetylene which is heavily diluted with helium as the plasma gas. The films formed using the process of the present invention are characterized as being amorphous and having dielectric strengths comparable to those normally observed for diamond films. More importantly, however is that the films produced herein are thermally stable, optically transparent, absorbent in the ultraviolet range and hard thus making them extremely desirable for a wide variety of applications.

Abstract: In radio transmission systems having a number of radio channels available for transmission, it is necessary to recognize a transmission channel as idle. One known way of doing this is to measure the field strength on the transmission channel and carry out a threshold decision. As soon as the field strength in a transmission channel is below a preset value, this transmission channel is recognized as idle. In measuring field strength, the field strength is averaged over the entire bandwidth of the transmission channel. As a result, a transmission channel that experiences interference from the signals on its adjacent channels may not be recognized as idle, although the adjacent-channel interference has little effect on the transmission quality. The new method makes it possible to recognize the signal present in a transmission channel by means of numerous narrowband field strength measurements.

Abstract: A clock distribution network for synchronously coupled electronic communication systems that includes a clock distribution device having a phase locked loop for synchronizing the external clock signals provided to each semiconductive device with each other. The clock distribution device distributes a low speed clock to a large number of clocked semiconductor devices where those devices then internally generate high speed clocks in phase with the low speed clock. The low speed clocks are phase shifted with respect to each other to reduce radiated energy. The ratio of internal to external clock speed is also communicated to each chip so that the chips can be programmed to operate with a variety of external clock speeds. The phase shifting of the external clock to different chips is provided so that the chips can still communicate synchronously at the high speed internal clock.
