Patent EP-1271121-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KO WEN H
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 1999-07-07
Abstract: Manufacturing silicon capacitive pressure sensors (200) that can be built
into a pneumatic tire. The method features a silicon-to-silicon fusion bond
(SFB) wherein at least one of the two surfaces (252) has a rough silicon surface
unsuitable for good SFB joints because it was bonded heavily boron-doped by
means of diffusion. The method includes preparing each doped surface (252)
for SFB by polishing the surface with a Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP)
process. The sensor designs can also include optional reference capacitors
(241) on the same chip (200) as the sensing capacitor (240). The reference
capacitors (241) are insensitive to pressure (force), but respond to ambient
temperature changes in the same way as the sensing capacitor. Suitable
external interface circuits can utilize the reference capacitors (241) to null out
the majority of ambient temperature effects.

Abstract: The capacitor (80) is charged to a voltage (Um) through impedance converter (66) and resistor (76). The voltage at the capacitor is modified to a first limit of voltage range at time interval (T1). The voltage at the capacitor is modified from the second limit to the first limit at time interval (T2). The value of the capacitor voltage differing from one of the two limits is calculated based on time intervals (T1,T2).  An Independent claim is also included for arrangement for digitizing voltage.

Abstract: Before starting the regular display in a liquid crystal display device of the bend alignment type, it is necessary to transition all the pixel regions in the entire display portion uniformly from splay alignment into bend alignment. However, conventionally, when applying a simple ac voltage, the transition sometimes does not take place, and when it does take place, the transition time is very long, and display defects due to alignment defects tend to occur. 
     In the method for driving a liquid crystal display device with OCB cells according to the present invention, a step of applying between an electrode (202b) and a pixel electrode (202a) comprising protrusions (222a) and recesses (221a), an ac voltage superimposed with a bias voltage, and a step of applying zero voltage or a low voltage to the substrates are repeated in alternation preceding the begin of the regular display operation and the regular display operation is carried out after all pixels have transitioned into bend alignment.

Abstract: The double action push switch has a longer life and more design freedom for attaining
desired load characteristics for first and second switching actions so that it occupies less area on a
printed circuit board. Two plate members are housed side-by-side in a cavity of the push switch.
An operating portion of a key top is positioned so that P3 ≠ P4, where P3 and P4 are the
respective operating loads applied to the operating portion when one or the other of two pressing
points act as the fulcrum and moments on the key top are balanced. The operating portion is
positioned offset from a center vertical axis of the key top if both plate members have the same
load characteristics. Thus, a first pressing force inverts one plate member for a first electrical
connection, and the next pressing force inverts the other plate member for a second electrical
connection.

In the absorptive regions (4, 124, 144, 204, 304) are applied and absorbed specific binding substances to be bound with substances derived from a living organism that are labeled with labeling substances for generating the radioactive ray or the light. The base plate (5, 125) prevents the specific binding substances from penetrating in the other absorptive regions (4, 124, 144, 204, 304). When an analysis of data of the radioactive ray and the light is carried out, an image of the radioactive ray and the light is generated without noises.
