Abstract: A high-molecular gelling agent precursor for an
electrolyte comprises a copolymer formed of (A) a hydrophobic
monomer having a hydrophobic group, which forms a carboxyl group
upon saponification, and (B) a hydrophobic polyfunctional
monomer. The saponification product of the copolymer has
property to gel the electrolyte. A high-molecular gelling
agent for the electrolyte is produced by saponifying the
precursor with a saponifying agent selected from the group
consisting of acids and alkalis while using a reaction medium
selected from the group consisting of water and hydrophobic
organic solvents.

Abstract: A computing device (110, 3 10) generates a transaction request and transmits
the transaction request to a peripheral device (10,210) by way of a wireless
communications link. In response to the request, the peripheral device (10,210)
determines the application required by the computing device (110, 3 10) which will
enable the computing device (110, 3 10) to operate the peripheral (10, 2 10). The
appropriate application is then transmitted to the computing device (110, 3 10) by way

IPC: H03F1/48

Abstract: Expansion of the bandwidth of a wideband CMOS data amplifier is
accomplished using various combinations of shunt peaking (L shunt ), series peaking (L series ), and miller
capacitance cancellation (C MC ). These various combinations are employed in any of the
amplifier input stage, in intermediate stages, or in the last stage. 
     This invention achieves maximum bandwidth expansion by using series
inductor peaking (L series ) with miller capacitance cancellation
technique (C MC ) and shunt inductor peaking (L shunt ) in
current controlled CMOS circuit (C 3 MOS). The series peaking
provides a certain peak bandwith product depending on the inductance L,
the capacitance C, and the quality of these two components. The
bandwidth is inversely proportional to the square root of LC. The
peaking mainly depends upon the inductance due to its limited Q. By
reducing the miller capacitance from the C 3 MOS input a wider
bandwidth is obtained with adequate peaking value. The total response of
the amplifier can be obtained with wider bandwidth of minimum ripple and
minimum phase distortion.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de traitement thermique rapide (RTP) dans lequel un ensemble de lampes chauffantes génère de la chaleur rayonnante pour chauffer les surfaces d'un substrat semiconducteur, tel qu'une plaquette semiconductrice, à une température sélectionnée ou un ensemble de températures, ledit substrat étant situé dans une chambre fermée. Les lampes chauffantes sont entourées, individuellement ou en groupes, par une ou plusieurs enceintes optiquement transparentes qui isolent lesdites lampes chauffantes de l'environnement de la chambre et de la ou des plaquettes situées à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Ces enceintes optiquement transparentes peuvent comporter des lentilles et/ou des réflecteurs associés pour diriger une plus grande proportion d'énergie thermique rayonnante émise par les lampes vers la ou les plaquettes semiconductrices. De minces couches planes de quartz peuvent être placées entre les lampes et le substrat. En régulant la distribution d'énergie rayonnante à l'intérieur de la chambre et en éliminant les fenêtres planes épaisses de quartz habituellement utilisées pour isoler les lampes dans les systèmes RTP antérieurs, on obtient des taux de traitement supérieurs et une fiabilité améliorée.

Title: Device and method for multichannel acoustic echo cancellation with a variable number of channels
Inventor: BUCHNER HERBERT
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for carrying out acoustic echo cancellation (2) when playing back C-channel audio signals on a D-channel audio signal transmission system with C<D. This invention can be used, for example, in videoconferencing, in which a variable number of active speakers are spatially played back according to the seating positions thereof. The aim of the invention is to solve for the poor convergence of the adaptive echo cancellation when the loudspeaker signals are strongly correlated. The invention provides that in addition to the known method of subjecting audio signals to preprocessing (V1,…, VD), which preferably induces a decorrelation, C output signals of the preprocessing units are selected by a channel combining device (5) and distributed to the loudspeakers (L1,…, LD), several signals being played back on a number of loudspeakers. Said aim is achieved by the reduction of the channels from D to C and by virtue of the fact that only the C signals are subjected to an adaptive matching.

Abstract: A biosensor device for detecting small molecules analytes is provided. The device employs a first class of molecules, e.g., protein that binds to both the analyte and a second class of molecules, e.g., nucleic acid. The binding of the protein to the analyte and nucleic acid can be mutually exclusive, and the presence of analyte in a sample results in a detectable displacement of protein from nucleic acid. Alternatively, binding of the protein to the nucleic acid can depend on the presence of analyte in the sample. In a specific embodiment, either the protein or nucleic acid is immobilized on a solid phase support. An arsenic detection system is exemplified. An ArsR binding sequence from the E. coli ars operon is immobilized on a gold-plated surface. ArsR protein binds to the DNA in the absence of arsenic, and is released in the presence of sodium arsenate or phenylarsine oxide. Protein release results in a change in surface plasmon resonance, and the magnitude or kinetics of the change indicate the concentration of arsenic.

Abstract: In the conventional cleaning robot, by mainly using each supersonic waves
sensor having a sensing range as ±30° in consideration of an appropriate
sensitivity, when four supersonic waves sensors are installed at a cleaner main
body, a sensing range as 240° is obtained, and accordingly it is impossible to
observe surroundings of the cleaner thoroughly. In order to solve the above-mentioned
problem, a position information recognition apparatus for a cleaning
robot in accordance with the present invention includes a fixed plate installed at a
cleaner main body; a main motor fixedly installed at the fixed plate in order to
generate a rotational force; a rotational cylinder combined with a rotational axis of
the main motor so as to be rotated at a certain angle; and plural position
information sensors installed at the rotational cylinder at a certain angle in order to
sense surroundings. By installing several supersonic waves sensors performable
left/right rotation at regular intervals, observation region can be greatly increased,
and accordingly it is possible to improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary
rotational motion of the cleaner main body in position recognition and distance
compensation.
