Title: Back side wafer dicing
Inventor: HARRIS RICHARD S
IPC: B23K26/04
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for scribing a semiconductor wafer (410) with reduced or no damage or debris to or on individual integrated circuits caused by the scribing process. The semiconductor wafer (410) is scribed from a back side (430) thereof. In one embodiment, the back side (430) of the wafer (410) is scribed following a back side grinding process but prior to removal of back side grinding tape (426). Thus, debris generated from the scribing process is prevented from being deposited on a top surface (412) of the wafer (410). To determine the location of dicing lanes or streets (424) relative to the back side (430) of the wafer (410), the top (412) side of the wafer (410) is illuminated with a light (434) configured to pass through the grinding tape (426) and the wafer (410). The light (434) is detected from the back side (430) of the wafer (410), and the streets are mapped relative to the back side (430). The back side (430) of the wafer (410) is then cut with a saw (444) or laser.

Title: Driving LEDs connected in parallel
Inventor: GATER CHRISTIAN
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2009-02-25
Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) driver 50 for light emitting diodes 12 connected in parallel. Instead of applying current to all the parallel-connected LEDs at the same time, under control of a common pulse width modulation brightness control signal, the application of current to each parallel path is staggered by using staggered brightness control signals. The turning on of the LEDs in the different parallel paths will have the same duty cycle but will be out of phase. This reduces ripple in the power supply by reducing the magnitude of the instantaneous current sink. In one embodiment, a shift register contains a binary representation of the PWM duty cycle, and a clock shifts the bits along the shift register. The PWM brightness control signals for each parallel path of LEDs are tapped from different positions along the shift register so that the PWM brightness control signals are identical but staggered PWM1, PWM2, PWM3.

IPC: A47C1/026
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: A seat (10) comprises a seat base (16) having two mutually engageable seat base portions (16a, 16b) and each seat base portion comprises a set of transversely extending fingers (22a, 22b) in a comb-like structure. The sets of fingers are engageable with one another to allow the base portions to be moved between a stowed position in which the fingers are fully engaged and an extended position in which the fingers are only partially engaged. Gaps which exist between adjacent fingers of the separated portions provide ventilation thus improving the user's comfort. The seat may further include a backrest (18) which also comprises two mutually engageable portions (18a, 18b) in a similar manner to the seat base.

Title: Compressed Air-Operated Apparatus for Driving Fasteners
Inventor: BEHRENS JOH FRIEDRICH
IPC: B25C1/04
Filed: 1967-03-03
Abstract: 1,170,675. Nailing and stapling tools. J. F. BEHRENS, [trading as JOH. FRIEDRICH BEHRENS METALLWAREN - FABRIK]. 3 March, 1967 [11 March, 1966], No. 10127/67. Heading B4C. [Also in Division F2] A pneumatically-actuated tool for driving fasteners, such as nails or staples, comprises a driving piston 14 reciprocable in a cylinder 3 and a valve 34 adapted to control the admission and exhaust of air from the cylinder, the valve having a piston 38 movable in a chamber 59 to which compressed air is fed under the control of a second control piston 60 actuated by means of a trigger. The valve 34 is slidable over a fixed hollow stem (54, Fig. 2) having a flange 56 formed with a slot 58 communicating with a vent passage (71) via a slot (68) in a sealing disc (67). The disc rests on the head (66) of a rod 65 connected to the second control piston 60. In operation, with the tool in the position shown, compressed air fed to a reservoir 30 flows via a passage 53 in the valve 34, the hollow stem (54) and slot 58 into the chamber 59 thereby acting on the piston 38 to maintain the valve 34 closed; in this position of the valve air above the driving piston 14 is exhausted via a passage 26, ports (45, Fig. 3) and a passage 31 and, air below the driving piston is exhausted through a slot 8a in a resilient buffer 8. Upon actuation of the trigger, the rod is raised so that the disc (67) closes the hollow stem to cut-off the supply of air to the chamber 59 and open the latter to atmosphere via the slots 58, (68) and passage (71). The air now flows through passage 26 to act on the driving piston. When the piston contacts the buffer the slot 8a is closed and, due to a small clearance around the driving piston and a groove 16 therein, air flow through a port 22 into a chamber 21; instead of the air flowing through the clearance around the piston, the latter may be a close fit and a hole (18) provided in the cylinder wall, the size of the hole being controlled by a tapered screw or on O ring (19) compressed by a screw (20). From this chamber, the air passes into a chamber 63 via passage 75, 73, thereby moving the piston 60 downwardly so that the sealing disc (67) opens the stem (54) and causes the vent passage (71) to be closed and air to, again, be fed into the chamber 59 to close the valve 34; the speed at which the piston 60 is moved is determined by the setting of a throttle valve (81), (82). In a modification, instead of the piston 60 being moved initially by means of the rod 65, the latter is replaced by means of a ball-valve, in the piston 60.

Abstract: 884,408. Cold separation of air. PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN N. V. March 24 1959 [March 25, 1958], No. 10170/59. Class 8(2). Production of liquid nitrogen from compressed air is effected by forcing air at a relatively low pressure by a compressor 10 through a heat exchanger 18 in countercurrent to reflux and thence to the base 25 of a fractionating column 24 from the head of which gaseous nitrogen passes in to the condensing chamber 28 of a cold gas refrigerator 29, part of the soliquefied nitrogen being discharged on product through a valved duct 26 whilst the remainder amounting to at least half the feed air being returned to the column head as reflux. The proportions of liquid nitrogen product and reflux is controlled by a valve 46 and by pan 47; the valve being responsive to control means 48 itself responsive to a thermocouple at a level 50 of the exchanger 18. In a modification the proportion of nitrogen product and reflux is controlled by a valve 34 Fig. 2 (not shown) in the discharge duet 26 and which is controlled by a bellows device enveloped by a readily condensible fluid thermally connected to the feed air pan of the exchanger 18. Specification 695,857 is referred to.

Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Systems for continuouseurrent motors only.-Relates to the control of ring spinning frames driven by continuous electric current motors and consists in a shunt field winding provided with two resis. tance regulating devices by which the speed is respectively regulated in accordance with the diameter of the chase of the cop and with the stage of building, and in a series winding, which at starting is switched in to give a strong starting torque and is then reversed. The general arrangement is shown in Fig. 1, wherein B represents the the speed-varying device, the series field winding, and D the shunt field winding. The devices I, II, Fig. 3, respectively control the speed in accordance with the diameter of the chase of the cop and the stage of building, the contact F being-operated by a lever N. Fig. 3, oscillating in synchronism with the lever L which oscillates the ring rail i, and the contacts G, H bv the rail i as it moves to build the cop. Initially the resistances in I are short-circuited by the contact G and then gradually cut-in until the cop-bottom is formed, when the contact F becomes fully operative and the speed is varied in accordance with the reciprocation of the rail i. When the nose of the cop is being formed the resistances in II are progressively short-circuited so that the speed of the motor gradually diminishes.
