Title: Wiring pattern editing method for semiconductor package
Inventor: KITAMURA TAMOTSU
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: A wiring pattern editing method for a semiconductor package includes the step of assuming virtual circular arcs (R1 to R4) around a predetermined via (11a) in a designated area on a virtual plane. A regular polygon (12) is drawn circumscribing the virtual circular arcs (R1 to R4) and a tangent from a crossing via (11) to the virtual circular arcs (R1 to R4) is drawn connecting to the regular polygon (12) to thereby form a wiring pattern (13) when the virtual circular arcs (R1 to R4) cross any of the vias (11). Line segment forming the regular polygon (12) are then moved or omitted in the wiring pattern (13) to change a wiring route when an offset occurs in the wiring pattern (13) passing between the vias (11) inside the designated area.

Title: laser beam control system utilising predictive modelling
Inventor: DINAUER WILLIAM R
IPC: B23K26/04
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: Predictive models of physical parts of the laser processing system such as scanning means 117, focussing means 310 and resonant cavity 118 are determined. These predictive models are used to determine how the physical system will actually react. The predicted reaction from the models is used as feedback in order to produce control signals. These physical models therefore adjust to the operation of the system, much in the way that actual feedback would adjust the operation of the system. However, the system may be used at faster speeds, where the actual feedback could not be produced fast enough. Different kinds of modelling are described, including in-position feedback which models sharp movements of the laser system, trajectory models which superimpose the commanded curve over the predicted actual curve to determine errors in trajectory, and constant/variable energy density controls.

Title: Turbocharged diesel engine with means for rapidly reducing EGR flow
Inventor: LANCEFIELD TIMOTHY MARK
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2003-01-03
Abstract: The engine has an EGR valve 12,14 with an actuator 16, eg vacuum operated, to enable the valve opening to be varied continuously and means separate from the actuator 16 for reducing the EGR flow significantly faster than can be achieved by that actuator 16 alone. The means for rapidly reducing the EGR flow may be a second actuator 18, fig. 1, eg having a larger diaphragm and a stronger spring, acting on the closure element 12 of the EGR valve. Alternatively, fig.2, the means for rapidly reducing the EGR flow may be a second valve 20 in series with the EGR valve 12,14 and operated by its own actuator 22. The EGR valve may have a hollow rotary closure member (12', fig.3) into which a second closure member (24) may be inserted rapidly by a linear actuator (26) regardless of the angular position of the closure member (12'). In a modification, fig.4, a valve (32) is provided for bypassing the vacuum modulator (30) of the EGR valve to cause it to close rapidly. The rapid reduction of EGR flow enables the mass flow through the compressor and turbine to be increased to improve eg transient torque rise rate.
