Patent EP-0929022-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS RICHARD K
IPC: H02J1/00
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: An infrared-emitting diode (IRED) is supplied with
a current from a constant current source. This
technique significantly reduces the power loss that
occurs in a battery-powered remote control device, for
example, as the battery voltage varies from a fully-charged
level to a level at which the battery must be
recharged. Because a certain level of current is
required to operated the IRED, in this situation the
circuit must be fabricated such that the required
current is supplied when the battery needs charging.
When the battery is operating at a higher level, power
is wasted exponentially as excess current is supplied
through the IRED. Supplying the IRED with a constant
current source greatly reduces the power loss. The
constant current source can take a wide variety of
forms from a relatively simple MOSFET operating in
saturation to more complex arrangement containing, for
example, current mirrors, additional current sources,
pass transistor logic, and digital-to-analog
converters. The constant current source can also be
fabricated with bipolar transistors and biCMOS
technology

Abstract: First, oxygen ions of a high concentration are
implanted into a silicon substrate 1, by which a high-concentration
oxygen implanted layer 3 is formed.
Subsequently, a heat treatment for about 4 hours at 1350°C
is carried out in an atmosphere of Ar with a 0.5%
concentration oxygen for the formation of a buried oxide
layer 5. Next, pulse laser annealing is performed for
melting and recrystallization of the surface silicon layer.
Pulsed laser beam is radiated at an energy density of 1200
mJ/cm 2  or more. The pulsed laser beam is able to melt the
semiconductor surface in several 10's nsec by virtue of its
extremely large power density in irradiation of 10 7  W/cm 2 .
By iterating this pulse laser annealing, the surface
silicon layer iterates to melt and recrystallize,
activating the activities of crystal defects, by which
damage recovery based on crystal seeds is accomplished.

Abstract: A display terminal, for example in the form of a telephone handset
(1), includes a display (5) and a keypad (6) for entering data into the
terminal. Associated with the display are four "context sensitive" keys (7-10)
which are positioned in relation to the display in such a way that the
display itself indicates the current purpose of the keys. The displayed
purpose of each key may change, under the control of the electronic
circuitry and underlying computer program, in accordance with the context
of the terminal - in other words, its current operational state. The use of
such context sensitive keys should enable a reduced number of keys to be
used and to avoid, at least for the most common functions, the requirement
to press multiple keys.

Abstract: The present invention is a removable vehicle seat assembly for use with a motor vehicle having an interior floor structure with at least a portion thereof covered by a yieldingly deformable material. A latch and release assembly is operatively associated with a riser support structure. The latch and release assembly is configured to be engaged with front and rear anchor members of the interior floor structure and releasably locked in one of a range of releasably locked positions. The latch and release assembly is constructed to be engaged with the front and rear anchor members and releasably locked in an initial one of the range of releasably locked positions. The removable vehicle seat assembly is moved downwardly towards the interior floor structure in response to an application of a downwardly directed force thereto when the latch and release assembly is releasably locked in the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions such that the yieldingly deformable material is yieldingly compressed to a decreased thickness. The latch and release assembly moves progressively from the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions to a subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions corresponding to the decreased thickness of the yieldingly deformable material during downward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly. The latch and release assembly is engaged with the front and rear anchor members and releasably locked in the subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions to thereby prevent upward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly away from the interior floor structure and to maintain the yieldingly deformable material at the aforesaid decreased thickness.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a user interface for a networked target device using panel subunit descriptor information maintained by the target device. The present invention utilizes a panel subunit to allow any compliant device (e.g., a target device) to describe the appearance of its physical (and logical) controls and displays to another device (e.g., an intelligent controller) and allows the controller to trigger actions on the target as if a user had physically manipulated the controls on the target device directly. The panel subunit uses objects defined with several standard types of controls and displays (e.g., push buttons, sliders, dials, LCD screens, etc.) that are commonly found on consumer electronic devices. The control types have well defined behaviors (e.g., buttons are pushed, dials are moved, values are input, etc.). In addition, the panel subunit defines a set of commands which are to be applied to any of these controls when selected by the user. The commands are defined to be sufficiently generic so that they apply to most types of controls. The panel subunit also defines generic user interaction commands (or user events) which can be applied to the controls (e.g., press, press and hold, release, input value, etc.) by a user. The purpose of these user events is to encapsulate the typical user manipulated action for the controls and to let the target device decide the manner in which to interpret the user actions on its own. A status descriptor keeps the intelligent controller informed of the status of the target device being manipulated.
