Title: Method and arrangement for choosing supply voltage
Inventor: EMERICKS ANDERS
IPC: H04M19/00
Filed: 1998-06-25
Granted: 2000-06-11
Abstract: Line circuits (LC1, LC2iK.LCn) can be supplied with first voltage (VBAT) or a second voltage (VB) of a lower absolute value.  At least the second voltage is variable.  The line voltages of at least active line circuits are measured, and possible values for the second voltage (VB) are prognosticated.  It is determined which line circuits can be supplied with the respective possible value, and the power consumption of those line circuits is calculated using each possible value.  For the line circuits which cannot be so supplied, the power consumption is calculated using the first voltage (VBAT).  For each possible value prognosticated for the second voltage (VB), the total power consumptions are summed, and value that gives the lowest total power consumption, is selected as the second voltage (VB).  The line circuits are then supplied with the first voltage (VBAT) or the selected second voltage (VB).

Title: Method of producing thermistor chips
Inventor: ABE YOSHIAKI
IPC: H01C7/02
Filed: 1999-09-18
Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: Thermistor chips are produced by first obtaining elongated strips made of a sintered ceramic plate having a specified resistance-temperature characteristic and having thereon a plurality of mutually parallel grooves extending perpendicularly to its direction of elongation. On each of these strips, ohmic electrodes are formed, one extending continuously from one of its main surfaces to one of its side surfaces and another extending continuously from the other oppositely facing main surface to the opposite side surface. This may done by covering the strip completely with an electrically conductive film and separating it into two areal parts by forming a longitudinally extending slit on each of the main surfaces. These strips are then stacked one on top of another by aligning the grooves on each of these strips and adhesively attached together with a glass paste in between. The layered structure thus obtained is broken up along the aligned grooves to obtain individual units of which newly exposed surfaces may later be covered by an electrically insulating material.
