Patent EP-1004906-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YAMASHITA TERUO
IPC: G02B6/32
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: An optical fiber fixing member having optical fiber
engagement grooves 2 and peaks 5 between the engagement
grooves 2 is configured as a unitary structure by molding.
A preform G is pressed with a mold 21 such that the
concavities 25 of the mold 21, which comprises
convexities 26 and concavities 25 for the transfer of the
engagement grooves 2 and the peaks 5, respectively, are
filled with the preform G only partially. The shape of
the convexities 26 of the mold 21 is transferred,
yielding optical fiber engagement grooves 2 whose
surfaces are mold transfer surfaces 6. Because the
preform G fills the concavities 25 only partially, the
peaks 5 between the optical fiber engagement grooves
formed by the filling of the concavities 25 are free
rounded surfaces 7 whose shape does not reflect the shape
of the concave bottom portions 25a of the mold 21. An
optical fiber fixing member molded with the aid of the
mold by keeping glass at high temperature prevents
transmission loss from being reduced by the microcracking
of the optical fibers and makes it possible to improve
release properties and burr control properties.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un organe de contact (1) constitué d'une pièce estampée et pliée (2) qui porte un élément de raccordement (4), une zone intermédiaire (Z) en forme de boîte et une lame de contact (10) faisant saillie à partir de cette zone intermédiaire. Les demi-lames (10a, 10b) et la paroi supérieure (9) de la zone intermédiaire sont, lorsque l'on regarde la pièce estampée pliée en projection développée, alignée l'une derrière l'autre, sur la paroi inférieure (6) de la zone intermédiaire. On obtient ainsi un écartement aussi faible que possible entre des pièces estampées pliées, sur une bande de tôle. La lame de contact (10) est formée par rapprochement des demi-lames (10a, 10b), c'est-à-dire par pliage au niveau d'une ligne de pliage transversale (B3), ce qui permet d'obtenir une double épaisseur de matériau, la paroi supérieure (9) prenant sa place entre les parois latérales (7, 8) de la zone intermédiaire (Z) et formant ainsi une boîte rectangulaire fermée d'une grande stabilité.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de contrôler le contact entre une électrode biomédicale et la peau d'un patient, moyennant l'utilisation d'au moins deux fréquences différentes pour vérifier à intervalles réguliers l'impédance de contact totale de l'électrode. On peut alors suivre le degré de variation des valeurs de cette impédance dans le temps pour avoir une mesure du soulèvement de l'électrode biomédicale à partir de la peau d'un patient sur laquelle cette électrode est censée adhérer. Le procédé considéré permet de contrôler le soulèvement à partir de la peau d'une partie quelconque de l'électrode plus facilement qu'avec des moyens classiques, comme le circuit de contrôle de la qualité du contact et les électrodes en plaque du type fendu pour patient.

Inventor: KING CLIFFORD ALAN
IPC: H01L21/8249
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: A process for device fabrication in which amorphous silicon is
deposited into a narrow gap is disclosed. The gap is an opening between
two layers of material. The gap results when a window is formed in one
of the two layers and a portion of a third layer at the base of the window
is removed. In the formation of a bipolar device, a layer of oxide is
formed on a silicon substrate and a layer of silicon is formed on the oxide
layer which serves as the extrinsic base for the device. In the bipolar
device, a window is formed in the polysilicon and the oxide layer at the
base of the window is then removed. In the bipolar device, the silicon
substrate underlies the gap and the extrinsic base silicon overlies the
gap. When the oxide is removed from the base of the window, a portion
of the oxide layer underlying the extrinsic base silicon is removed as
well, thereby forming a gap between the extrinsic base silicon and the
underlying silicon substrate. 
     In the process of the present invention, the resulting gap has a
proximate end which is the opening of the gap into a window and a distal
end which is the interface between the gap and the remaining oxide.
The width of the gap is less than about 20 nm. The gap is then subjected
to conditions that cause the gap to have a first height at its proximate
end which is greater than its height at its distal end. The tapered gap is
then filled with polysilicon. Because of its tapered configuration, the
polysilicon uniformly fills the gap, without significant voids therein.
