IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1995-05-29
Granted: 1998-05-28
Abstract: An imaging device comprises a semiconductor substrate including an array of pixel cells. Each pixel cell comprising an individually addressable pixel circuit for accumulating charge resulting from radiation incident on a pixel detector. The pixel circuit and the pixel detector can either be implemented on a single substrate, or on two substrates bonded together. The charge storage device can be a transistor, for example one of a pair of FET transistors connected as a cascade amplification stage. An imaging plane can be made up of one imaging device or a plurality of imaging devices tiled to form a mosaic. The imaging devices may be configured as a slot for certain applications, the slit or slot being scanned over the imaging plane. Control electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits. Imaging optimization can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or color values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating grey scale or color values to an individual pixel according to a sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less than said threshold value.

Title: Methods for providing artwork on plastic information discs
Inventor: HOOF PETER VAN
IPC: G11B7/24097
Filed: 1997-07-09
Granted: 2000-10-19
Abstract: Artwork is imparted to plastic discs such as CDs, CD ROMs, and DVDs (digital video discs) by exposing a layer of photoresist material on a substrate to light from an original image of the artwork. The material of the photoresist layer is exposed to different depths by different intensity light from different image regions. Where the image is dark, the exposure is to relatively shallow, random depths. Where the image is light, the full thickness of the photoresist layer is exposed. Development of the photoresist layer removes the exposed photoresist material. The surface features of the developed photoresist layer and any uncovered substrate are transferred to a member used in forming a surface of the plastic disc, thereby visibly embossing the image in the disc. <IMAGE>

Title: Anti-backup improvement for hypodermic syringes
Inventor: HARRIS DALE CARVIN
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1993-10-14
Granted: 1996-11-07
Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-backup device which prevents the nut (10) from moving up the threaded piston (5) at the end of the dose by rotating in the opposite direction of that in which the nut (10) moves up the position to set the new dose by rotating dose knob. In this way, it is assured that movement of the nut up the threaded piston is due to rotating the dose knob (15) in the proper direction. The preferred device is a pawl (25) mounted on the end of a flexible arm (32) of the nut which cooperates with slots (26) on the inside of the syringe barrel (27). The nut (10) also has an incline surface (28) at the end which mates with an incline surface (29) in the barrel (27) and the mating of these surfaces at the end of the dose forces the pawl (25) into a slot (26) and prevents rotation of the nut (10) in the wrong direction, thus preventing refilling of the syringe. <IMAGE>
