Patent EP-0627308-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KURZ HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: B41F13/22
Filed: 1994-02-04
Abstract: A temperature control device for rotating bodies in printing mechanisms. It contains a blowing device having an internal air recirculation circuit for the recirculation of cold air which has been deflected from the rotating body which is to be cooled. A cold air generator is arranged outside the blowing device and is connected for flow to it via a cold air feed line. In this way, energy for the production of cold air is saved and the cold air feed line can have a smaller cross section since only a reduced amount of cold air need be fed.

Abstract: Customary integrable differential amplifiers have implanted resistors as load resistors, the limited magnitude of which represents a barrier for minimising the current consumption. According to the invention, the load resistors are replaced by load elements which represent non-linear two-terminal networks, such as, for example, diodes, the potential across these load elements being kept constant by means of a control loop, using a control element, for example a control transistor. As a result, the current consumption of differential amplifier stages can be reduced as far as the order of magnitude of residual currents, without any increase in the area required for the integration of the circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for reducing targeting errors encountered when trying to locate contaminant particles in a high-magnification imaging device (16), based on estimates of the particle positions obtained from a scanning device (10). The method of the invention includes scanning a semiconductor wafer in a scanning device, then preferably moving the wafer to a different orientation, and scanning the wafer again, to obtain at least two sets of particle coordinates that may differ slightly because of uncertainties in the scanning process. The multiple sets of coordinates are averaged to reduce the targeting errors, but only after transforming the coordinates to a common coordinate system. The transformation step includes computing transformation parameters for each possible pair of particles detected in at least two scans, averaging the results, and then transforming all of the particle coordinates to the common coordinate system. Optionally, the method may include discarding any transformation parameters that deviate too far from the average, and then computing the average transformation parameters again.

Abstract: Overcurrents caused by overvoltages on parallel current paths (a-a',b-b') are diverted by a common earth line (E). The paths are interconnected on the network side (L) by a transverse path (c-d) through an overvoltage diverter (1) triggered by a voltage above the peak value of a power supply voltage. Thyristor diodes (4,5) connecting the respective current paths to the earth line are fired by voltages slightly exceeding the max. operational voltages of the line. PTC resistors (2,3) decouple the thyristor diodes from the divertor and block the max. amplitudes of the supply voltage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An amplifier circuit (10) is provided. The amplifier (10) includes an amplifier stage (14) coupled to an output stage (18). Output stage (18) comprises a sourcing circuit (20) and a sinking circuit (22). The current in sinking circuit (22) is approximately mirrored at low current in mirror circuit (34). 
At higher currents, resistor (36) maintains the current in mirror circuit (34) below the current in sinking circuit (22). 
A diode (38) diverts current to mirror circuit (34) to aid sinking circuit (22) in sinking current from a load (12). A current source (29) supplies current to sourcing circuit (20) and mirror circuit (34). A control signal output by amplifier stage (14) causes mirror circuit (34) to draw or not draw current from current source (29). If mirror circuit (34) draws current from current source (29), output stage (18) sinks current in sinking circuit (22). If mirror circuit (34) does not draw current from current source (29), output stage (18) sources current through sourcing circuit (20).

Abstract: Process to separate organic vapours from air and industrial gases by condensation under high pressure and sophisticated refrigeration parameters, with the aid of a cold scrubber. The organic material is recovered as liq. product and the loaded gas is compressed almost isothermally with water injection in a screw compressor and pre-cooled in a water pre-wash. The pre-cooled air stream (9) is cooled in two stages to very low temps. in a cold scrubber (10) by two cold carriers (11,12) of circulating air component condensate. The organic components are sepd. by direct condensation, and the cold carrier (11) brings the refrigeration performance into line for poor refrigeration parameters using an external cooling source (13), whilst the cold carrier (12) provides cooling with very refined refrigeration parameters. This cold is transferred to the cold carrier (12) by a heat exchanger (16). In the separator (15), any remaining condensate is brought to a higher pressure, and its cold content is used in a further exchanger (18 or 19). The condensate is then released as a light product (20) or mixed with the main product stream (21) and finally removed as water free product.

The frequency-shifted output signals have an inverted spectral waveform as compared with the input signals. The mixer can be made in compact form with a cavity length as small as 100 m and can provide inverted signals at the same intensity as the input signals, making the mixer particularly useful for providing spectral inversion in an optical communications system.

Abstract: The top and bottom parts of a cover of a PCMCIA card are snapped together to form lap-joint seams which are welded together with a laser, under argon gas. Only a few small tack welds are required to substantially increases the mechanical strength and moisture resistance and to eliminate the risk of accidentally opening the card. The operation can be done at a high rate with minimal cost. Also, an internal frame may be made much narrower to allow more card area, while still meeting structural requirements for PCMICA cards. The weld penetrates fully through the first layer of the seam and only partially through a second layer. During welding a fixture holds the seams in reasonably precise position and tightly closes so the seams are much tighter after welding than when the card is only snap closed. The precise positioning of the seams also allows the size of the weld to be minimized which reduces the risk of burn through which may damage electronic components enclosed within the card during welding. The card is plugged into an externally accessible slot in a computer system during operation.
