Title: Cooperative transceiving between wireless interface devices of a host device
Inventor: FRANK EDWARD H
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-08-01
Abstract: A method and/or apparatus for cooperative transceiving between wireless
interface devices of a host device includes processing that begins by providing an
indication of receiving an inbound packet from one wireless interface device (e.g.,
Bluetooth compliant radio transceiver, IEEE 802.11 compliant radio transceiver, etc.) to
another. The wireless interface device receiving the indication processes the indication
and, based on the processing, transmits an outbound packet in accordance with the
processing of the indication. For example, the wireless interface device receiving the
indication may delay transmission until the other wireless interface device has received
the packet, or, if transmission of the packet would not interfere with the receiving of the
packet by the other wireless interface device, the wireless interface device receiving the
indication would transmit its packet.

IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2003-09-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a pointing input device, which sequentially outputs
pointing position data indicating a pointing input position and push detection data from a push by
the same pen or finger used for a pointing input. The pointing input device includes a display
panel for displaying any pointing input information, and an optical touch panel. The optical touch
panel detects the pointing input in an input operation area, through which a display area is visible,
and outputs the pointing position data. Piezoelectric substrates are attached to a transparent
protective plate protecting the top surface of the display panel. When an operator pushes the
transparent protective plate disposed at the lower part of the optical touch panel while carrying out
the pointing input, the piezoelectric substrates output electric signals by which the push is judged.
Then, the push detection data is outputted with the pointing position data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for automatically adding a liquid, such as a
medicine or nutritional supplement, to animal feed in measured doses, using a
cylinder - plunger pump driven by an electric motor and controlled by a feed
computer. The liquid is sprayed on to the feed under pressure from a distance,

Abstract: A steering actuator (176,376,576) comprising an intermediate shaft
(180,380,580), an electric motor (192,392,592), a transmission, a first stopping
device (188,388,588), a second stopping device (196,396,596), and a controller
(200,400,600) is provided. The steering column transmits a first rotational
force to the intermediate shaft. The electric motor generates a second rotational
force on a rotor shaft (190,390,590) upon application of an electric current. The
transmission transmits either or both of the first rotational force and the second
rotational force to a lower shaft (133,333,533) of a steering gear (112,312,512).
The first stopping device prevents the first rotational force from being
transmitted to the rotor shaft. Similarly, the second stopping device prevents
the second rotational force from being transmitted to the steering column. The
controller operates the steering actuator in a first mode, a second mode, or a
third mode by selectively applying the electric current to the electric motor and
the stopping devices.

Title: Electret  assembly for a microphone having a backplate with improved charge stability and improved humidity  stability
Inventor: DE ROO DION IVO
IPC: H04R1/04
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A microphone is constructed to be more tolerant to a wide range of relative
humidity conditions without adversely affecting the performance of the microphone.
The microphone includes a housing with a sound port for receiving sound and an
electret assembly for converting the sound into an output signal. The electret
assembly includes a diaphragm and a backplate. The backplate is made of at least two
layers, usually polymeric layers. The first layer of material has a first hygroscopic
coefficient and a second layer of material has a second hygroscopic coefficient. The
first and second layers cause the backplate to bend in response to higher humidity
conditions, thereby minimizing the adverse effects on microphone performance
caused by characteristic changes in the diaphragm at the higher humidity conditions.
Further, to minimize the charge degradation due to physical contact with other
materials, the charged layer may include a protective layer thereon to inhibit physical
contact with the charged layer.

Abstract: A method of placing a component on a substrate
using a pick and place machine having both a pick preview
look down vision system and a horizontal vision system.
Prior to picking up the component, the top surface of the
component is sensed with the pick preview vision system.
After pick up, while transporting the component to a placement
position on a substrate, the horizontal vision system
determines the centroid and zero rotational axis of the
component and an offset correction to a desired active feature
on the component. The centroid of the desired active
feature on the component may then be placed on an exact
predetermined point on the substrate in a minimum of time
and error.

Abstract: The invention relates to surfaces with hydrophilic properties and a method for producing such surfaces. Surfaces are provided with hydrophilic properties by applying a coating containing hydrophilic silicic acid by means of the inventive method. Said surfaces can be textile or polymer surfaces, metallic or wooden surfaces. The silicic acid can be permanently connected to the polymer surface or be in the form of a non-fixed coating. The inventive hydrophilic silicic acid is applied in a very simple manner by applying a suspension containing silicic acid particles in a solvent on the corresponding surface, whereupon the solvent is removed or the silicic acid particles are fixed to the surface by means of a carrier. Condensing devices of dehumidifiers, foams or sponges are examples of surfaces that can be provided with the inventive hydrophilic surfaces.
