Inventor: MORISHITA NOBUYASU
IPC: H01M10/6557
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for cooling assembled
batteries comprising rechargeable batteries and intends to
avoid temperature dispersion among single cells and hence avoid
dispersion of battery performance. A module battery 10 is so
constructed that convex portions 8 provided on the battery
container 2 of the single cells 7 come in contact with each
other creating by recessed portion 9 a space 11 in the vertical
direction between single cells 7. The module battery 10 is
banded by means of aluminum plates 12 and iron bands 13 with
the single cells 7 at both ends forced inwardly. The module
batteries are placed sideways with the terminals facing the
same direction and the cooling medium flows toward the surface
where the electrode poles are provided.

Abstract: Semi-conducteur comprenant une couche conductrice enterrée (108), telle qu'un collecteur enterré, et présentant une tranchée, dont les parois sont recouvertes d'une couche (109') constituée par un matériau dans lequel les ions dopants se diffusent plus rapidement que dans du silicium monocristallin. On dope une zone de contact à proximité étroite de la paroi (109') de la tranchée. Les dopants vont se diffuser à travers la couche (109') et créer une connexion à résistance basse avec la couche enterrée (108). Cette couche (109') peut être composée de polysilicium ou de silicium poreux ou d'un siliciure. Si le matériau utilisé dans la couche (109') n'est pas conducteur en soi, ceci permet de diminuer considérablement la dimension du composant.

Abstract: An MPEG-2 video decoder which identifies and removes stuffing data
from an MPEG-2 bit-stream before storing the bit-stream into the VBV buffer of the
decoder. The decoder monitors the MPEG-2 bit-stream for successive groups of zero-valued
bytes. When a sequence of successive of zero-valued bytes is encountered that
is greater than a programmed maximum length the decoder identifies the sequence as
stuffing data and inhibits any further zero-valued bytes from being passed until the
next non-zero valued byte is encountered. The decoder specifies two maximum length
values, one for the number of stuffing bytes which may precede a Slice start code and
the other for the number of stuffing bytes which may precede a non-Slice code. These
values may be changed during the decoding operation by a microprocessor.

Abstract: A system for allowing software publishers to control which video
standard(s) can be recovered from an optical disk (23) containing video
source material. The disk may be digitally encoded so that any of NTSC,
PAL and other video signal standards can be generated upon proper
decoding. But the disk also includes a code which can lock out one or
more standards. Players (21) for such disks may be capable of generating
video signals according to all popular standards, in which case the user
selects a desired standard. However, the player will generate a video
signal of the selected standard only if there is an appropriate authorization
code on the disk. The system allows manufacture of "universal" players
without necessarily impacting the contractual and marketing plans of
motion picture companies, for example, which release films in different
territories at different times. The control technique can be extended to
lock out specific territories. Each player has a built-in territory code. The
player will play a disk only if the disk contains an authorization code for
the player's specific territory.

Tube lengths, preferably of glass, are produced by:  (a) separating tubes (2) in a supply station for individual transfer to a processing station;  (b) holding the tube so it can be rotate during cutting by a laser (6) and can be moved axially for cutting of successive lengths;  (c) moving each cut length axially away from the tube and simultaneously or subsequently melting the facing cut ends to form beads;  (d) transferring the tube length onto a transporter having low thermal conductivity holders to avoid mechanical stress production on cooling; and  (e) advancing the tube axially for cutting the next tube length.  An Independent claim is also included for apparatus for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of making GaAs-based enhancement-type
MOS-FETs, and articles (e.g., GaAs-based ICs) that comprise such a MOS-FET.
The MOS-FETs are planar devices, without etched recess or epitaxial re-growth,
with gate oxide that is primarily Ga 2  O 3 , and with low midgap interface state density
(e.g., at most 1 x 10 11  cm -2  eV -1  at 20°C). The method involves ion
implantation, implant activation in an As-containing atmosphere, surface
reconstruction, and in situ deposition of the gate oxide. In preferred embodiments,
no processing step subsequent to gate oxide formation is carried out above 300°C in
air, or above about 700°C in UHV. The method makes possible fabrication of planar
enhancement-type MOS-FETs having excellent characteristics, and also makes
possible fabrication of complementary MOS-FETs, as well as ICs comprising
MOS-FETs and MES-FETs. The method includes deposition of gate oxide of
overall composition Ga x A y O z , where Ga substantially is in the 3+ oxidation state,
A is one or more electropositive stabilizer element adapted for stabilizing Ga in the
3+ oxidation state, x is greater than or equal to zero, z is selected to satisfy the
requirement that both Ga and A are substantially fully oxidized, and y/(x+y) is
greater than 0.1.

Abstract: An adapter (104) for scanning transparent images (202) using a reflective scanner
(100) receives light from a lamp (200) inside the scanner and redirects the
light through the transparent image and back into the scanner. The scanner has an offset
between an illumination line (304) and a scan line (300, 402). An angle of the adapter
relative to the surface of a platen on the scanner is dependent on the distance between the
illumination line and the scan line. At least one angle adjuster (106, 806, 808) is provided
on the adapter to enable the adapter to be used on scanners having different offsets. In
addition, the adapter is made wider than the transparent image to be scanned, so that when
the scan line is at a leading or trailing edge of the transparent image, the adapter still
captures light from the lamp within the scanner.
