Patent EP-0791806-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MOCHIZUKI TUTOMU
IPC: G01F1/60
Filed: 1996-10-07
Abstract: An electromagnetic flow meter which calculates the electric conductivity of a fluid based on the ratio of an output signal generated when electrodes 2a, 2b are grounded through short-circuit resistors Rs 1 , Rs 2  to an output signal generated when the electrodes 2a, 2b are not grounded, and more accurately corrects a flow measurement using the electric conductivity, characterized in that, for reducing measurement errors due to fluctuation in DC offset voltage accompanied by an on/off operation of the short-circuit switch S1, outputs are measured when the short-circuit switch S1 is on and off in a magnetization state, the output are next measured when the short-circuit switch S1 is on and off in a non-magnetization stage, and the outputs in the non-magnetization state are subtracted from the outputs in the magnetization state, thereby removing the influence of "DC offset voltage fluctuation" occurring accompanied by the on/off operation of the short-circuit switch S1.

Abstract: A novel packaging of semiconductor elements, such as MCM tiles, with a variety of printed circuit or wired boards (PWB), the packages occupying a small size, at least in the vertical direction, relative to prior art OMPAC devices. The MCM tile includes an interconnection substrate with peripheral metallizations and at least one chip or integrated circuit (IC) mounted on the substrate by solder reflow or conductive adhesive technology. The PWB which may be a single level or a multilevel, is provided with an aperture for accommodation of at least one chip therein. Depending on the type of interconnection between the substrate and the PWB, the aperture may be larger than the substrate of the MCM tile for wire bonding interconnection or smaller than the substrate for solder reflow or conductive adhesive interconnection. In the wire bonding case, the MCM tile is positioned within the aperture resting on the surface of the PWB or of a structural member or of a heat sink which encloses one end of the aperture. The other end of the aperture may be open or enclosed by a structural member, a heat sink, another PWB or a mother board. For solder reflow or conductive adhesive interconnection, the substrate which is larger than the aperture is positioned so that its ends overlap areas of the PWB adjacent the aperture and the chips and/or substrate are positioned within the aperture. The interconnections are enclosed in a compliable encapsulating material, such as silica gel.

Abstract: Using the Internet World Wide Web (WWW) network 320, a WWW Client 310 can communicate with a WWW Server 330 to request the reconfiguration of or to generate software which controls a voice processing application. A voice response system client communicates with a voice response system server to alter the configuration of the voice response system or control the execution of software on said voice response system which enables a voice application program to be generated. The output of the voice response system ordinarily destined for display on a visual display unit of a local terminal is directed to the voice response system server. The voice response system server forwards the data to a voice response system client. The voice response system client generates data in a first format useable by said WWW client terminal from data in a second format received from said voice response system and generates data in said second format useable by said voice response system from data in said first format received from WWW client terminal, that is, the voice response system client dynamically generates HTML data from the data generated by the voice response system for transmission to and subsequent display at the WWW client terminal and visa versa.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for fast resolving chromosome sized DNA molecules, and for obtaining reliable and reproducible DNA electrophoretic patterns. It is achieved by performing pulsed field minigel electrophoresis at a high electric field strength at expense of reducing the separation between opposed electrodes. This approach allows to increase the frequency needed to separate DNA molecules, diminishing the electrophoresis time. It also favors the reduction of the electrophoretic chamber, and the increase of the electric resistance in the chamber. This, together with the achievement of high electric field at low applied voltage, avoids the excess of heat generation in the electrophoretic chamber, allowing the use of simple cooling systems and power supplies. The method saves time, samples and reagents.

Abstract: A cluster tool layer thickness measurement apparatus is part of a reactor cluster that includes a plurality of substrate processing reactors arranged around a sealed chamber in which a robot is located. The cluster tool layer thickness measurement apparatus is also mounted on the sealed chamber. After a layer is deposited on a substrate in one of the reactors, the robot removes the substrate from the reaction chamber of the reactor and places the substrate directly in the cluster tool layer thickness measurement apparatus on a substrate support. A carriage assembly moves the substrate support and consequently the substrate under an optical thickness measurement assembly. Optical thickness measurement assembly generates a signal representative of the thickness of the layer at one point that is transmitted to a monitor computer. After the measurement is completed, the carriage assembly moves the substrate so that the thickness of a layer on the substrate is measured at each of a plurality of locations.

Abstract: The system controls the drive (1) of a laboratory centrifuge. A tachometer (9) measures the speed of the rotor (3). The drive is switched off, should its speed exceed a given value; i.e. on overspeed. Two processors (4, 5) process the output signal of the tachometer. Each processes the same input signal independently and each has an independent drive shutdown capability. In the new design, one processor (5) is exclusively dedicated and equipped to cause shutdown on overspeed. The other (4) is equipped for both rotary speed control and shutdown, as well as all other centrifuge control functions.

Abstract: A low power RAM device including a bit line precharge circuit which
selectively precharges only those bit lines which will be read in an effort to
minimize precharge and overall RAM power consumption. The preferred RAM
precharge circuit uses a precharge device in the sense amplifier as the primary bit
line precharge device to selectively connect and precharge the selected bit line
through a column MUX. The preferred RAM precharge also includes secondary bit
line precharge devices for each bit line to enable trickle charging thereof to prevent
hazardous RAM data corruption. Since RAM corruption occurs only after several
clock cycles, the secondary precharge devices comprise small transistors having only
1/20 the size of normal precharge device to conserve precharge power requirements.
The RAM device includes a carefully controlled timing sequence of precharge signal,
column-select signals, and word-line signals, to selective precharge the selected bit
line and to remove the hazardous power consuming DC current path to further
reduce power consumption therein.

Abstract: An ink containment and dispensing device for an ink-jet
printer is provided with a main reservoir in the form
of a flexible pouch, which is typically maintained at
ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a
variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows
the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and
prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the
reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet,
which is normally closed to prevent the flow of outward
ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a
printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection
between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part
of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be
actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer.
The pump has a linearly acting pumping member and a
flexible diaphragm that overlies the pumping member, the
diaphragm being impervious to the transmission of oxygen
and moisture therethrough to prevent degradation of the
ink within the chamber.
