Abstract: A method and system for providing multilingual text in a electronic medical device is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a computer program contains language-generalized executable code for controlling the operation of a electronic medical device. The executable code displays a selected textual message in any of several available languages. The executable code first determines that the selected message should be displayed. Then, in response to determining that the selected message should be displayed, the executable code identifies a current language in which the selected message should be displayed from among several available languages. The executable code then retrieves the selected message expressed in the identified current language from a file containing the selected message expressed in each of the available languages, and displays the retrieved message.

Abstract: Electrical terminals having the same shape are provided and which can be integrated. Two latch flanges 7 are provided projecting in symmetrical positions on the circumference of an eye-shaped connection region 5, and hook portions 10 into which the companion latch flanges 7 enter are formed in positions adjacent to the latch flanges 7 to the rear in the clockwise direction. Projections 12 are formed by shearing the surface of the connection region 5 upwards, inwards from the latch flanges 7, and to the front of these are formed lock holes into which the companion projections 12 fit. The connection region 5 of one terminal 1 is laid over the top surface of the connection region 5 of another terminal 1 concentrically, then the upper terminal is turned clockwise, whereupon the latch flanges 7 engage into the companion hooks 10; the projection 12 of the lower terminal 1 fits in the companion lock hole 13 so that the two terminals 1 are integrated.

Abstract: In a method of producing a condenser lens substrate (9), after a first clear substrate (1) and a second clear substrate (4') where a micro-lens (2) having a spherical surface or a lenticular lens is formed are stuck to each other, at least one of the clear substrates is ground. At this time, the clear substrate (4') is ground so as to have a thickness that a focus of the micro-lens or the lenticular lens is positioned in the vicinity of the outer surface of the first or the second clear substrate. This makes it possible to form a micro-lens or a lenticular lens having a short focus in a substrate of a liquid crystal display element. As a result, when a condenser lens substrate (9) is produced, a possibility of breakage of the clear substrate is eliminated, and handling and sticking of clear substrates become easy, thereby making it possible to improve mass-productivity of a condenser lens substrate.

Abstract: Relationships between amplitude patterns, each being composed of a train of a predetermined number of samples including a target sample, and correction values corresponding to quantizing errors of the target samples are obtained in advance from a relationship between a plurality of samples of the same amplitude pattern and actual amplitude values of their target samples. Each of the sample values of inputted reproduced digital data is corrected by a correction value corresponding to an amplitude pattern specified by the sample values around such sample value to be corrected. As a result of this operation, a correction value consisting of a few bits is added to the lower of the LSB of the digital data, thereby reducing quantization noise of the reproduced digital data.

Abstract: 57 A thin-film structure (10) includes conductive lines (12,14) that cross in a crossover region (16). A first insulating layer (40) covers the lower conductive line (12). A second insulating layer (42) is sufficiently thick to isolate signals in the lines and to prevent coupling. Each of the lower conductive line (12) and the second insulating layer (42) can have an edge. A smoothing layer (44) is formed over the edges so that the upper conductive line (14) forms continuously, providing an electrical connection between two points on opposite sides of the edges. The insulating layers (40,42) can be nitride, separated by an undoped layer of amorphous silicon, so that the same layer sequence can be used as in a thin-film transistor. The smoothing layer can be n+ doped amorphous silicon. The conductive lines can be scan and data lines in an AMLCD or other array.

These techniques operate in conjunction with a system including a network and a plurality of endpoint devices connected to the network. A novel MMS is coupled to the network and is equipped to utilize the network such that multimedia signals may be exchanged among a plurality of endpoint devices, thereby providing a multimedia conference. A Multi-Media Server (MMS) provides a multimedia conference independently, such that the reservation system utilized by existing multimedia conferencing system is no longer required. The conference is initiated by a multimedia endpoint that is equipped with a user interface device for encoding user input as BAS signals. The MMS is responsive to BAS DTMF commands issued by endpoint devices to implement multimedia conferences.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for mounting chip components at specific positions, preferably on a substrate such as a printed circuit board. In order to be capable of both clearly distinguishing any miswork or assembling error caused by improper installation of the attracting nozzle on the head unit and recognising an improper attracted state of the component in the subsequent mounting procedure it is suggested to determine in the main operation the attracted state of the chip component by measuring the projected width of the chip component within the detection area comprised of parallel light beams while rotating the chip component and detecting a projected width minimum value of the chip component. Furthermore, an apparatus is suggested in order to form the above mentioned method.

Abstract: When a single crystal is pulled up from a melt, the difference ΔT between temperatures at the bottom of a crucible and at the interface of crystal growth is controlled so as to hold Rayleigh constant defined by the formula of:       R a = g · β · ΔT · L/κ · ν          within the range of 5 × 10 5  -4 × 10 7 , wherein g represents the acceleration of gravity, β the volumetric expansion coefficient of the melt, L the depth of the melt, κ thermal diffusivity and ν the kinematic viscosity. Since the convection mode of the melt at the interface of crystal growth is contantly held in the region of soft turbulence, a single crystal is grown under the stabilized temperature condition without the transfer of impurity distribution in the melt into the growing single crystal.

Abstract: A gate operator with an extensible actuating arm adapted for light to moderate gate passing traffic. The operator comprises a small drive unit, such as an electric motor drive, and a rotatable drive shaft, such as a worm shaft driven through operation of the motor. An extensible shaft or so-called ball race shaft, cooperates with the rotatable shaft and extends inwardly or outwardly in response to rotation of the rotatable shaft. A microprocessor operated control circuit is used with or forms part of the operator, and measures a number of counts generated by magnetic elements rotatable with the worm shaft, and which are equivalent to distance units of measurement. In this way, the distance on the opening and closing movement is measured and stored in the microprocessor, so that on subsequent movements, the gate can open and close to precisely the open and closed positions without stopping short of or banging into such end positions. The motor mechanism of the operator is pulsed during the certain opening movements and closing movements and portions thereof. In this way, in the event of any bottoming out of the extensible and retractable arm against the end of the worm shaft, damage to the operator will not result.
