Patent EP-0909101-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAWAKAMI YASUA
IPC: H04N17/02
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: An S/N ratio measuring method of a video signal which
is suitable for the formation of an IC and can precisely
detect a fluctuation of an S/N ratio of a video signal at
high response speed while suppressing the total cost and a
system based on this method. In operation, a composite
video signal is received, a noise density in a
predetermined period of the composite video signal is
detected, and an S/N ratio of a video signal included in
the composite video signal is recognized basis on the
detected noise density. The S/N ratio measuring system has
a demodulator (22) for demodulating the composite video signal
from the reception signal and a counter (72) for counting noises
which are generated in a predetermined period of time of
the composite video signal and recognizes the S/N ratio of
the video signal included in the composite video signal
based on a count value obtained.

Inventor: VAN DER POEL JOHANNES GODEFRID
IPC: B07B13/18

Abstract: A description is given of a method and a device for
sorting objects, such as fruit and bulbous plants, with
regard to their cross-sectional dimension. The objects are
placed on at least one pair of cords which are situated
next to one another and at a distance apart and diverge
from one another in the direction of transport, the cords
moving at different velocities from one another and the
velocity of at least one of the cords of a pair being
varied periodically. As a result, the objects are made to
rotate in a varying manner about a characteristic axis of
rotation which is defined by the shape of these objects. In
this way, the objects are sorted with great accuracy with
regard to the largest dimension, as measured substantially
perpendicular to the said axis of rotation. A description
is also given of a device for carrying out the said method.

Abstract: 4-Sulfonamidophenyl hydrazines are prepared by reaction between the hydrazine,
optionally substituted, and the corresponding 4-substituted benzenesulfonamides, where the
4-substitution is an appropriate leaving group, in the presence of water and the absence of
dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent. The result is a product of unusually high purity.
Patent EP-0874060-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KIM CHUNG S
IPC: C21C5/30
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: A method of improving post-combustion heat recovery
in a vessel containing a charge of molten ferrous metal
and slag includes the use of a lance for the introduction
of oxygen gas into the charge. The method includes
blowing oxygen into the charge through at least one first
nozzle of the lance for refining the molten metal into
steel. Oxygen is blown through at least one second
nozzle of the lance from at least one location spaced
above the first nozzle at an oxygen flow rate effective
to produce foamy slag in an amount for obtaining a post-combustion
heat transfer efficiency of at least about 40%
without appreciable overflow of the slag from the vessel.
The oxygen flow rate from the second nozzle is at a
minimum at about a starting point of a peak
decarburization period of the charge. Iron oxide
containing pellets may also be added to the charge. In
this case, the oxygen flow rate from the first nozzle may
be reduced while the iron oxide containing material is
being added, and the reduced oxygen flow may be
replenished with an inert gas.

Title: Chip scale package
Inventor: CHEN SHIH-LI
IPC: H01L23/495
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A chip scale package structure suggested by the present invention for packaging
an IC chip, is characterized by that: surrounding the IC chip by a package
frame with a gap left between the IC chip and the package frame, extending at
least two outer leads in opposite directions along the outer surface of the
package frame, and connecting individually at least a pair of bonding points of
the IC chip to the outer leads through a line (a bonding point through a line to a
corresponding outer lead) comprising a connecting segment, the connecting
segment being slant with upper end thereof connecting the outer lead and lower
end thereof connected (may be through an inner lead) to the bonding point; the
connecting segment is slant at an angle to the top outer surface of the package
frame, thereby the gap and the angle can change with stress, whereby the chip
scale package can cushion (buffer) a stress, particularly the stress resulting
from a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion/shrinkage between the IC
chip and the package frame. Another feature of the chip scale package
structure is that the outer leads can be welded form three directions.

IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: A method for polishing radially expandable surgical stents is disclosed where fluid abrasive media M flows over surfaces of the stent (10) causing the surfaces of the stent (10) to be polished and streamlined. The stent (10) is temporarily provided with cylindrical support ends (20), which are not radially expandable to support the stent (10) during the polishing process. An interior polishing fixture (100) is provided which has cylindrical chambers (135) therein adapted to receive a stent (10) therein. Fluid abrasive media M then flows into bores (108) in the fixture (100) leading to the cylindrical chambers (135) and adjacent the inner diameter surfaces of the stent (10). Surfaces of the stent (10) forming the outer diameter are polished by placing the stent (10) within an exterior polishing fixture (200) which has a cylindrical recess (220) therein. The cylindrical recess (220) has a diameter greater than a diameter of outer surfaces of the stent (10) and includes a cylindrical shaft (270) passing axially through the cylindrical recess (220) upon which the stent (10) is located. Slanted bores (208) pass through walls of the exterior polishing fixture (200) and into the cylindrical recess (220), directing the abrasive media M adjacent exterior surfaces of the stent (10) and causing polishing of the exterior surfaces of the stent (10). The direction of abrasive media M flow can be reversed to make streamlining of segments of the stent (10) occur in a symmetrical fashion. After polishing of the stent (10) is completed, the cylindrical support ends (20) are removed and the stent (10) is ready for implantation and radial expansion within a body lumen L. When polished and streamlined, the radially expandable surgical stent (10) more effectively supports a body lumen L without excessive thrombus, restenosis and other medical complications.
