Abstract: A method for driving an interlace system plasma
display panel comprising applying a pulse (Vw)higher than a
discharge start voltage at the end of a sustain discharge
period for a period in which only a cell that has
executed a sustain discharge and cells adjacent to the
former cell start discharge, executing an erase discharge
of the cell that has executed the sustain discharge, and
at times, the cells adjacent to the former cell, and when
a given field is switched over to another field,
executing a similar discharge, i.e., the whole surface
write operation and a self-erase discharge, of the cell
that has executed display before the switch-over of the
given field before the whole surface write operation and
the self-erase discharge are effected in the cell that is
to execute display after the switch-over of the given
field. This driving method applies a pulse having an
opposite polarity of the polarity of the whole surface
write pulse for a period longer than the pulse width of
the sustain discharge pulse (Vs). An
apparatus for driving a plasma display panel by using the
driving method is also disclosed.

Title: High-bandwidth read and write architecture for non-volatile memories
Inventor: WONG SAU C
IPC: G11C16/26
Filed: 1999-06-22
Abstract: A memory architecture for a non-volatile analog or multiple-bits-per-cell
memory includes multiple separate memory arrays and multiple read/write
pipelines. The multiple read/write pipelines share a read circuit and/or a write
circuit to reduce the circuit area of each pipeline and the circuit area of the memory
as a whole. In one embodiment, a shared write circuit generates a programming
voltage that changes with an input signal representing values to be written to the
memory. Each pipeline includes a sample-and-hold circuit that samples the
programming voltage when the pipeline begins a write operation. The write circuit
can additionally generate a verify voltage that a second sample-and-hold circuit in
each pipeline samples when starting a write operation. In another embodiment, a
shared read circuit generates a read signal that ramps across the range of permitted
threshold voltages for the memory cells, and a sense amplifier in each pipeline
clocks a sample-and-hold circuit or another temporary storage circuit when the
sense amplifier senses a transition in conductivity of a selected memory cell.
When clocked, the sample-and-hold circuit or other temporary storage circuit
registers a signal that corresponds to the read signal and indicates a data value
associated with the voltage of the read signal. In alternative embodiments, the
signal registered is the read signal, a converted form of the read signal, or a multibit
digital signal.

Abstract: An amino acid having a secondary or tertiary amino group and
three or more carboxyl groups (AADA) or its salt with an equivalent
or less of an alkali metal is produced by reducing, through
electrodialysis, alkali metal ions from an aqueous solution of
the alkali metal salt of an amino acid having a secondary or
tertiary amino group and three or more carboxyl groups. By this
configuration, an AADA salt can be produced in a much higher yield
than conventional equivalents without requiring a regeneration
operation of a resin as in the use of an ion exchange resin or
without requiring crystallization-separation of crystals of the
AADA salt as in the addition of an organic solvent. 
     A salt of an amino acid having a secondary or tertiary amino
group and three or more carboxyl groups is produced by reacting
an amino acid having a secondary or tertiary amino group and three
or more carboxyl groups with any of metal oxides, metal hydroxides,
metal carbonates, metal hydrogencarbonates, ammonium hydroxide,
ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogencarbonate or organic amine
compounds. By this configuration, a metal salt, ammonium salt
or organic amine salt of an AADA can be produced with efficiency
without the formation of by-products.

Abstract: The present invention may be used in the field of microelectronics, in medicine as well as in the production of lighting appliances. The
method and the device of the present invention are used for increasing the brightness of optical radiation sources powered by low-voltage
power supplies. The optical radiation is generated by emitting electrons and by exciting the radiation. The electrons are generated by
emitting the same from the surface of a cathode, while the excitation of the radiation involves accelerating the electrons in the gaseous
interval up to an energy exceeding the excitation energy of the radiating levels of the gas. To this end, a voltage is applied between the
cathode and the anode, wherein said voltage does not exceed the ignition voltage of a self-maintained discharge. The device of the present
invention comprises a chamber as well as electrodes having surfaces which are transparent to the radiation. The gas pressure inside the
chamber is determined from balance conditions between the energetic length of an electron trip and the distance between said electrodes.

Title: Methods and apparatus for the production of amorphous polymer suspensions
Inventor: HOROWITZ DANIEL
IPC: C08G63/06
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: Methods and apparati have been developed for producing a suspension of predominately amorphous polymer particles, wherein the method includes thermally treating a suspension that includes crystalline or semi-crystalline polymer particles. The thermal treatment includes (a) heating a suspension of polymer particles of an appropriate size to a temperature effective to cause the polymer to become amorphous, and then (b) cooling the suspension of amorphous polymer particles below the melting point of the polymer at a rate effective to prevent substantial coalescence of the polymer particles. The method and apparati are effective for use with a variety of polymers having suitable crystallization parameters, although polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymers are preferred, particularly in an aqueous suspension medium. For PHA polymers, the polymer particles subjected to treatment preferably are of a size of less than 5 mum, or more preferably less than 1.5 mum in diameter.

Abstract: A hot and cold water mixing device in which the slope in a medium-temperature
range is gentle and the slope in a low-temperature range and a
high-temperature range is steep. When the target temperature of water
mixture is set in the medium-temperature range, a combined biasing force of
serially-arranged bias springs 42, 44 acts on a main shaft 30 leftwards, a
biasing force of a temperature-sensitive spring 40 acts on the main shaft 30
rightwards, and these biasing forces balance with each other so that the
main shaft 30 and valve elements 32, 34 are stopped. When a handle is
turned to enter into the high-temperature range exceeding 50°C, a slide
shaft 52 biases the main shaft 30 leftwards only with the second bias spring
44. When the handle is turned to enter into the low-temperature range below
30°C, the slide shaft 52 biases the main shaft 30 only with the first bias
spring 42 leftwards.
