Patent EP-0797194-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI KATSUMI
IPC: G11B7/257
Filed: 1997-03-18
Abstract: In a double-layered optical disk capable of
reading two-layer information from one face, the
substrates constituting this optical disk can hardly
peel even with a dropping shock or a change over time.
The double-layered optical disk is constituted by
a transparent first substrate (30; polycarbonate),
a first information recording layer (10), and a second
substrate (40) adhered to the first substrate (30)
through the first information recording layer (10). 
The first substrate (30) has information pits to be
read with a read laser beam (RL; wavelength: 650 nm)
and is transparent to this read laser beam. The first
information recording layer (10) is formed on the
information pit formation surface of the first
substrate (30) and is made of an inorganic dielectric
(e.g., Si) having a higher refractive index (refractive
index: 2 to 4) than that of the first substrate (30)
(refractive index: 1.6).

Abstract: Ein am Lenkrad eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordneter Airbagmodul
ist mit einem Hupenschalter versehen, der als
druckempfindliche Schaltfolie (9) ausgebildet ist, die
eingebettet ist in einer elastischen Wand (8, 8') einer
das Airbagmodul abschließenden Kappe (7, 7'). Zur Gewährleistung
eines einheitlichen Schaltweges des Hupenschalters
ist der Luftsack (4, 4') ringförmig um einen Stützkörper

Abstract: It is well known that interlaced video result in flicker artifacts
that are annoying and tiring for the viewer. The technology for
displaying progressive video have improved over the years and is now
feasible. At the same time digital video compression have also advanced
with the introduction of MPEG2 standard. However digital progressive
video requires a lot of processing power. 
     A method of decoding compresses digital video of a progressive
video sequences at 60 frames per second using multiple decoders operating
at 30 frames per second is disclosed in this invention. This invention
describes the method and apparatus by which the compress digital video
bitstream can be partition into independent units that can be decoded
by the multiple decoders in parallel.

Abstract: An information collection system is used to improve the efficiency and
accuracy of the collection of information for warranty database for printers. The
system includes an information reading device (3) attached to a computer system
(1). Printer (4) configuration and performance parameters which are to be
collected are printed on a selftest page (5) encoded as a bar code (6). In the
preferred embodiment of the information collection system, the information
reading device is a standard hand held bar code reader (3) and the computer
system (1) is a portable computer. A windows based bar code reading utility is
used to decode the data from the bar code reader. Information would be
collected from the printer (4) by printing a selftest page (5) including the bar
code (6), reading the bar code (6) using the bar code reader (3), and storing the
information decoded by the bar code reading utility on the hard disk drive of the
computer system (1). At a later time, the data is transferred to the warranty
database over a communications link such as a modem.

Abstract: The method comprises the steps of: calculating a direction-dependent
distribution of ejected particles from the target; dividing a
range of the vertical angle  into sections of an equal interval, counting a
number of the ejected particles for every section of the vertical angle  ,
and calculating a vertical distribution function by interpolating the
counted numbers of the ejected particles as a function of the vertical angle
 ; determining values of the vertical angle  likely to emerge in a
random process of a particle ejection from the target using the vertical
distribution function based on the reject principle; determining values of
the horizontal angle ϕ likely to emerge in a random process of a particle
ejection from the target; and calculating tracks of sputtered particles in a
sputtering arrangement using the values of the vertical angles and the
horizontal angles determined by the third step and the fourth step in
accordance with the Monte Carlo method.

Abstract: A transmissive, backlit color twisted-nematic or super-twisted-nematic liquid crystal display
employing a front fiber-optic faceplate (78) or optical equivalent as a front retaining element (78) of a
liquid crystal cell (66) that increases viewing angle between the display and a viewer while minimizing
or eliminating undesirable variations in luminance, contrast ratio and chromaticity is described. The
fiber-optic faceplate (78) or optical equivalent includes cylindrical optical features and interstitial
cladding material of greater optical index than the cylindrical optical features The interstitial cladding
material may include an opaque mask blocking layer to prevent the interstitial apertures from diffracting
off-axis light into an observer's viewing cone. In particular the liquid crystal display includes dual
negative retarders (202, 204), and a light shaping element (200) such as a brightness enhancing film
on the illumination source (60) that increase the effective viewing angle between the display and a
viewer while minimizing undesirable variations in display chromaticity, luminance, and contrast ratio.
The front fiber-optic faceplate (78) or optical equivalent works in conjunction with the dual negative
retarders (202, 204) and the light shaping element (200) to provide an improved contrast ratio with a
perfectly symmetric viewing angle and to eliminate grey scale inversions.
