Patent EP-1136772-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SUGISAKI MUTSUO
IPC: F25B43/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: In an air-conditioning refrigerant receiver having an
annular clearance (22) defined between an outer periphery of a lower
cover (10a) supporting a contained assembly from the below and an
inner periphery of a casing (1a), a guide tube (24a) extends downwards to
define an annular passage (23) connected to the annular clearance (22)
between the guide tube (24a) and an inner surface of the casing (1a), and
is connected at its upper end to an outer periphery of the lower
cover (10a). Thus, a refrigerant, which has passed through the
annular clearance (22), can be guided to a lower portion so as to
quietly flow down along the inner surface of the casing (1a), and
hence, it is possible to inhibit to the utmost the refrigerant
from leaving the inner surface of the casing (1a) and to become
scattered, thereby more reliably preventing the occurrence of
bubbling.

Abstract: Method of enhancing speech of a speech signal broken into segments.
Frequency domain representations of a segment of the speech signal are
determined to provide a spectral envelope of the segment. Speech is
synthesized from an enhanced spectral envelope. A smoothed spectral
envelope of the segment is generated by smoothing the spectral envelope.
An enhanced spectral envelope is generated by increasing some frequency
regions of the spectral envelope for which the spectral envelope has a greater
amplitude than the smoothed envelope and decreasing some frequency
regions in which the spectral envelope has lesser amplitude than the
smoothed envelope.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for directing energy in a plurality of
azimuth directions. The amount of energy directed in the azimuth
direction of a mobile terminal (130,140,150) is a function of the
location and acceptable receive strength of at least two mobile
terminals (130,140,150). The function is such that the strength of
an EM field at the location of any of these two mobile terminals (130,140,150)
is at least as large as, but not significantly larger than,
needed for that mobile terminal (130,140,150) to acceptably receive
the signal carried by the EM field. The amount of energy to be
directed in the azimuth direction of a mobile terminal (130,140,150)
is arrived at by first determining for each one of the mobile
terminals (130,140,150) an EM field that would have to be
generated for the mobile terminal (130,140,150) in order to provide
an acceptable receive strength thereat, the determining taking into
account the strength, at the location of the mobile terminal (130,140,150),
of EM fields previously determined for others of the mobile
terminals (130,140,150). This determining is repeated until the EM
fields determined for at least two of the mobile terminals (130,140,150)
provide an EM field strength for each of these two mobile
terminals (130,140,150) that is substantially equal to its adequate
receive strength. This determining is repeated until the EM fields
converge. The amount of energy is then determined based on the
EM fields thus determined.

Abstract: An improved version of a vibration isolation system using negative stiffness
incorporates a payload (15) and payload platform(14) on just one 6 DOF
isolator (12) in a unique and innovatively compact configuration. The isolator
(1'2) includes a platform (14) supported on an assembly of independently
acting flexure mechanisms which are connected in a serial fashion, tilt on top of
horizontal on top of vertical, and in turn connected to a base (12). Proper
arrangement of the mechanisms and the payload/platform centre of mass (17)
provides highly effective decouple isolator performance. In addition, an
innovative flexure preloading method which significantly improves vertical
isolation performance is incorporated. This method can be used with prior (non-symmetric)
designs or combined with a set of shear flexures (66) in an
innovative symmetric arrangement to provide more assurance of ideal decouple
response to mutually perpendicular base excitation input. Ageared mechanism
(116) is also incorporated to facilitate manual adjustment of a main support
spring (18) whenever payload weight is changed.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of making a Belleville spring comprising the steps of mechanically coiling a flat strip (S) of hardened spring steel into a continuous, generally flat circular convolution (C), said coiled strip (S) having first and second parallel edges (150, 152) defining a width (w), said coiled convolution (C) of said spring steel strip (S) having a given radius of curvature and an axially extending center of generation where said first edge (150) has a first formed radius and said second edge (152) has a second formed radius, with said first radius being less than said second radius by an amount generally equal to said width (w) of said strip, cutting said coiled spring steel strip (S) of said circular convolution (C) to create a generally flat ring shaped spring (B) with first and second free ends (20, 210, 22, 212, 310, 312) joining said free ends (20, 210, 22, 212, 310, 312). In order to create a method of making a Belleville spring with a reduced scrap production and with avoiding deleterious effects of edge imperfections the method is characterized by the step of heating said flat ring shaped spring (B) on a temperature of over 426,7  DEG C (800  DEG F) and simultaneously forming said flat ring shaped spring (B) under axial pressure to heat set said ring shaped spring (B) into a frusto-conical shape. <IMAGE>

IPC: H01L21/331
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: In the manufacture of a semiconductor device,
after an insulating film (4) and a first polycrystalline
silicon film (5) are selectively dry etched to form a
contact hole, the substrate is cleaned with a cleansing
agent composed, for example, of ammonia, hydrogen
peroxide and water, to remove anomalous residues (8).
This suppresses the single-crystallization in
polycrystalline silicon that is to form the emitter
electrode, as well as preventing an interface oxide film
from remaining when a heat treatment is conducted to
diffuse dopants, and thereby it also regulates the
emitter dopant concentrations and thus lowers the emitter
electrode resistance, which will provide a stable h FE .
Anomalous bodies such as water-marks are not accidentally
produced in the cleaning step following dry etching step
to form the emitter electrode, and thereby an increase in
yield and enhancement of device reliability are achieved.

Abstract: A method and system for employing pixel-based, signal-intensity data
contained within areas (802, 804, 806, 808, 810, 814, 822) of a scanned image of a
molecular array corresponding to features (802, 810, 812, 820) and feature backgrounds
(804, 806, 808) in order to determine whether or not the features or feature backgrounds
have non-uniform signal intensities and are thus outlier features and outlier feature
backgrounds. A calculated, estimated variance for the signal intensities within a feature
or feature background is compared to a maximum allowable variance calculated for the
feature or feature background based on a signal intensity variance model. When the
experimental variance is less than or equal to the maximum allowable variance, the
feature (802) or feature background (804) is considered to have acceptable signal-intensity
uniformity. Otherwise, the feature (810, 812, 822) or feature background (806,
808) is flagged as an outlier feature or outlier feature background.

Abstract: In a gas turbine including a nozzle retaining ring (42) having a first annular
axially facing sealing surface (48) and a shroud segment (41) having an axial
registering second surface (46). To minimize or prevent leakage flow
between the retaining ring and shroud segments, a generally U-shaped seal
((70) having reversely folded U-shaped marginal portions is received in a
cavity (80) formed in the second surface. At operating conditions, the
marginal portions seal against the base (82) of the cavity and the first surface
(48) of the retaining ring to prevent leakage flow past the retaining ring/shroud
segment interface. To install the seal, the seal body (71) is first compressed
and maintained in a compressed state by applying one or more wraps about
the seal body and an epoxy is used to secure the seal when compressed in
the cavity. At operating temperatures, the retention means releases the seal
to engage marginal portions (74) \against opposite sealing surfaces of the
shroud segments and retaining ring.
