Abstract: This invention discloses an emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) that can be employed in manufacturing tire tread formulations that have rolling resistance and treadwear characteristics that are similar to those made with solution SBR but with improved traction characteristics. Thus, the emulsion SBR of this invention is superior in many respects for use in tire tread compounds to conventional solution SBR and conventional emulsion SBR. This invention more specifically discloses a styrene-butadiene rubber composition which is comprised of repeat units which are derived from styrene and 1,3-butadiene, wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber composition has a number average molecular weight as determined by thermal field flow fractionation which is within the range of about 50,000 to 150,000, and wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber has a light scattering to refractive index ratio which is within the range of 1.8 to 3.9. The subject invention further reveals a styrene-butadiene rubber composition which is comprised of repeat units which are derived from styrene and 1,3-butadiene, wherein a plot of log frequency versus storage modulus of the styrene-butadiene rubber composition crosses over a plot of log frequency versus loss modulus of the styrene-butadiene rubber composition at a log frequency within the range of 0.001 radians per second to 100 radians per second when conducted at 120 DEG C using parallel plate geometry in the dynamic oscillation frequency sweep of the styrene-butadiene rubber.

Title: Active type solid-state imaging device
Inventor: WATANABE TAKASHI
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: An active type solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array, a plurality of signal lines (13) with each pixel connected to one of the signal lines, a first power source V<SB>D</SB>, and a second power source of lower voltage V<SB>P</SB>. Each pixel includes a photodiode (5), a reset MOS transistor (102) connected between the photodiode and the second power source V<SB>P</SB>, and a pixel selection MOS transistor (103) connected serially to an amplification MOS transistor (101) to form a transistor pair, the transistor pair being connected between the signal line (13) and the first power source V<SB>D</SB>. The use of a lower voltage power source for the reset transistor (102) shifts negatively the input voltage range of the source follower circuit that includes amplifier transistor (101) and transistor (15) acting as a load for supplying a constant current. This reduces the reverse bias applied to the photodiode (5) and thereby reduces pixel leakage current.

Inventor: SEAL DAVID JAMES
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A data processing system has address offset generating instructions which encode bits of an address offset using previously redundant bits in a legacy instruction encoding whilst maintaining backwards capability with the legacy encoding. The system comprises an instruction decoder which responds to program instructions to control data processing operations and an address-offset-generating circuit which is controlled by the decoder and which is operable to generate an N-bit address offset. The address offset is determined by an address-offset-generating instruction which includes an offset-value-sign-specifying bit and high-order-field bits. The address-offset-generating circuit generates the N-bit address offset in dependence upon predetermined values of the high-order field bits and upon the offset-value-sign-specifying bit.
