Patent EP-1314488-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OGISU TOSHIO
IPC: B41F16/00
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: While a transfer sheet (3) including a water-soluble
base sheet (1) on which a print layer (2) is provided is floated on
water (4), an adhesion is applied after the base sheet is
dissolved, thereby to form a semi-fluidal print layer (8). An
object (9) is pressed against the print layer to achieve
printing. In this technique, the present printing method and
apparatus shorten the warm-up time required for dissolving
the base sheet (1) of the transfer sheet (3) to improve the working
efficiency, and the transfer sheet (3) is previously cut at a
predetermined length and is then floated on the water surface
(5), so that wasteful consumption of the transfer sheet is
reduced. The bottom of a water tank (11) is formed to be
shallow in the left side than in the right side, so that the
amount of water contained in the water tank (11) is reduced to
shorten the warm-up time. In addition, the transfer sheet (3)
is cut at a predetermined length of a range necessary for
transfer before the transfer sheet (3) fed from the transfer
sheet feed section (12) is shifted to the water surface (5), so
that wasteful consumption of the transfer sheet (3) is prevented.

Abstract: A first aspect of the invention is to realize a
power amplifier having high power adding efficiency and
high power gain at low cost. For that purpose, in a
semiconductor device using an emitter top heterojunction
bipolar transistor formed above a semiconductor substrate
and having a planar shape in a ring-like shape, a
structure is provided in which a base electrode is present
only on an inner side of a ring-like emitter-base junction
region. In this way, as a result of enabling to reduce
base/collector junction capacitance per unit emitter area
without using a collector top structure having complicated
fabricating steps, a semiconductor device having high
power adding efficiency and high power gain and suitable
for a power amplifier can be realized. 
     A second aspect of the application is to provide a
power amplifier enabling to reduce temperature dependency
of power gain. For that purpose, in a multistage power
amplifier including a first amplifier circuit 2 having one
or more of bipolar transistors connected in parallel and
arranged above a first semiconductor substrate and a
second amplifier circuit 3 having one or more of bipolar
transistors connected in parallel and arranged above a
second semiconductor substrate, the bipolar transistor 
used in the first amplifier circuit 2 is provided with an
emitter shape having a planar shape in a rectangular shape
and the bipolar transistor used in the second amplifier
circuit 3 is provided with an emitter shape in, for
example, a ring-like shape and a base electrode thereof is
present only on the inner side of the ring-like emitter.

Abstract: In a system for inputting and managing document collections, the order in
which documents and cover or separator sheets are presented to the system dictates the organization and
hierarchy for the electronically stored document collection. Users can add
annotations to documents and collections by writing on a coversheet; the system
scans the coversheet, reads the written material, and adds the material to the
electronically stored document and/or collection. In addition, in one aspect the
invention provides a mechanism for granting different levels of access to
different individuals, by generating coversheets that point to the same collection
but that provide different levels of access to the collection.
