IPC: H02P25/02
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: A dual sided self-oscillation circuit for driving an oscillatory actuator with high efficiency and high response speed. The actuator has a winding to receive a periodical supply current from a power source and oscillates in a predetermined resonant frequency. The self-oscillation circuit includes a bandpass filter for receiving a back electromotive force voltage (Vbemf) developed across the winding and producing a sine wave output signal, a comparator for comparing the sine wave output signal with a threshold voltage and producing two drive pulses per cycle of the resonant frequency, and a switch connected in series with the winding to connect or disconnect the power source to the winding in response to the drive pulses, thereby flowing electric current in two directions at each cycle.

Abstract: Orthogonal transform coefficients D6, which are
image data of a coded object, are generated by
performing predetermined data transform operations on
frame image D1 (Step S100), and coded data D7 is
generated (S103) by subjecting the orthogonal
transform coefficients D6 to arithmetic coding using a
predetermined probability table. Then, in variable-length
coding for generating the coded data D7, it is
set whether or not a probability table is initialized
at the slice layer, and a flag indicating the presence
of the initialization is added to a header of a
predetermined layer. Thus, the image coding method,
image decoding method, image coding apparatus, image
decoding apparatus, program, computer data signal, and
image transmission system, which are capable of
enhancing data compression efficiency by coded data in
a manner that a probability table is suitably set over
the entire coded data, are realized.

Abstract: In semiconductor devices which include an insulated trench electrode (11) in a trench (20), for example, trench-gate field effect power transistors and trenched Schottky diodes, a cavity (23) is provided between the bottom (25) of the trench electrode (11) and the bottom (27) of the trench (20) to reduce the dielectric coupling between the trench electrode (11) and the body portion at the bottom (27) of the trench in a compact manner. In power transistors, the reduction in dielectric coupling reduces switching power losses, and in Schottky diodes, it enables the trench width to be reduced.

Abstract: In a mobile device that includes two displays and is foldable, it is necessary to unfold
a part having been folded before starting call. In the case of a mobile device further
including any imaging device, an image to be taken cannot be confirmed from a
subject side. According to a mobile device of the invention, a display side housing
(100) is connected via a hinge (3) to a body (2) including an operation section (8) to be
foldable. The display side housing (100) consists of a lower housing (1) connected to
the hinge (3) and an upper housing (51) connected to the lower housing (1) to be
invertible. An imaging device (6) is provided on one face of the lower housing (1), and
a first display (4) is on the other face. A second display (54) is provided on one face of
the upper housing (51). Any image to be taken can be displayed on both displays.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une composition d'encre polymérisable aux UV pour imprimante à jet d'encre qui ne contient pas ou pratiquement pas de photo-initiateur, ainsi qu'un procédé de polymérisation d'au moins une de ces encres pour imprimantes à jet d'encre qui présente une viscosité et une tension superficielle appropriées pour l'impression par jet d'encre. L'encre durcissable aux UV pour imprimante à jet d'encre contient de 20 à 40 % en poids d'au moins un acrylate monofonctionnel, de 35 à 55 % en poids d'au moins un acrylate bifonctionnel, de 5 à 15 % en poids d'au moins un acrylate trifonctionnel, pas plus d'environ 5 % en poids d'au moins un pigment; et une quantité infime d'un photo-initiateur. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, la composition comprend également de 5 à 15 % en poids d'au moins un acrylate fortement réactif et de 0,5 à 1,5 % en poids d'un agent stabilisant. Le procédé consiste à déposer la première encre ou plusieurs encres sur le substrat avec au moins une tête à jet d'encre d'une imprimante à jet d'encre, à irradier les encres déposées avec un rayonnement UV à forte concentration en rayons ultraviolets C (UVC) (rayonnement riche en UVC), ledit rayonnement riche en UVC étant produit par une première source UV, l'irradiation étant effectuée alors que le substrat se déplace par rapport à la première source UV. Le procédé consiste ensuite à appauvrir en oxygène la région proche de la surface du substrat de sorte que la région intermédiaire située entre le première source UV et les encres déposées soit relativement dépourvue d'oxygène pendant l'irradiation de manière à augmenter la quantité d'UVC atteignant les encres et à réduire la diminution, provoquée par l'oxygène, de l'efficacité du ou des photo-initiateurs éventuellement présents dans l'encre. Les encres selon l'invention sont relativement dépourvues de photo-initiateur.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the growth of nanotubes or nanofibers on a substrate comprising at least an upper layer made of a first material, wherein: the formation, on the surface of the upper layer, of a barrier layer made of an alloy of the first material and of a second material, said alloy being stable at a first temperature; the formation of spots of catalyst that are made of the second material, on the surface of the alloy layer; and the growth of nanotubes or nanofibers at a second temperature below said first temperature. The alloy layer allows effective growth of nanotubes/nanofibers from catalyst spots on the surface of said alloy layer. This is because the alloy layer constitutes a diffusion barrier preventing the catalyst from diffusing into the growth substrate, which barrier is stable at the catalytic nanotube/nanofiber growth temperature.

Le mot-code de remplacement a une parité différente de celle du mot-code qu'il remplace. Le flux résultant de mots-codes est ensuite codé à l'aide d'un codeur N.R.Z, de manière à ce que le changement de parité résultant du mot-code de remplacement produise un changement de polarité de la sortie N.R.Z.
