Patent EP-1366529-B1 (EP)
Inventor: KAWASE TAKEO
IPC: H01L51/00

Granted: 2013-02-13
Abstract: The invention provides a method of pattering a substrate, in which a first material in solution is deposited on the substrate. The composition of the solution of the first material is selected so it dries to leave a residue of the first material on the substrate, the residue comprising a thin film in the centre and a ridge around the perimeter. The residue is etched to remove the thin film, leaving the ridge on the substrate. After etching the ridge is hydrophobic and the substrate is hydrophilic. An aqueous solution of a second material is then deposited on both sides of the ridge. After the aqueous solution has dried, the ridge is removed, leaving a layer of the second material on the substrate, the layer having a narrow gap therethrough. The layer may be used for the source and drain electrodes of an organic thin film transistor.

Abstract: Cardiac pacing systems are disclosed for providing multi-site pacing in a single heart chamber or multi-chamber pacing in two or more heart chambers employing N pacing channels and miniaturized electrical isolation circuitry in up to N-1 pacing channels to minimize the effects of leakage currents generated during delivery of a pacing pulse in any one pacing channel from affecting sense amplifiers in the other pacing channels. Isolation of a the pace/sense electrodes from leakage currents is effected employing monolithic isolation circuit means. An isolated current replicator employing giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sense elements in conjunction with isolated planar cells fabricated in monolithic form is incorporated into conventional VLSI circuitry. Or, the monolithic isolation circuit means is formed of a micro-mechanical fabricated (MEMS) isolation transformer comprising low-loss input and output coils separated by an insulation layer that isolates the input coil from the output coil.

Abstract: A system and method for predicting the likelihood of occurrence of an impending neurological episode. Electrical stimuli are delivered to a structure of the brain. Response field potentials evoked by the stimuli are sensed. Analysis of these field potentials allows for predictions as to the occurrence of an impending, but not yet occurring, neurological disorder. In one example, a measurement of change in response pulses is used to determine a level of interconnectivity in the structures of the brain. The level of functional interconnectivity is used in predicting the occurrence of the neurological event. An example of such a neurological event includes an epileptic seizure.

Abstract: A machine for machining a workpiece with at least one revolving or rotating tool has a work spindle with a shaft ( 5 ), whose temperature is monitored by means of at least one temperature sensor ( 26 ). The temperature sensor is detected in contactless fashion. The sensor ( 26 ) is preferably a radiation-sensitive sensor, which detects the temperature radiation output. by the shaft ( 5 ). In triggering the positioning drive mechanisms, the control unit ( 35 ) of the machine ( 1 ) takes into account the temperature expansions of the shaft ( 5 ) that result from the temperature changes in the shaft. The positioning drive mechanisms serve to position a tool ( 6 ), carried by the shaft ( 5 ), relative to the workpiece ( 2 ). A machining precision is thus achieved that is independent of the temperature and temperature changes of the machine ( 1 ) overall, of temperature changes in the coolant-lubricant, and of temperature changes in the tool ( 6 ) and the shaft ( 5 ), that can all be caused by the power converted at the machining site.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for defibering recycled fiber material in a drum pulper provided with a substantially horizontal drum. Recycled fiber material and water are fed to the drum pulper and the drum of the drum pulper is simultaneously rotated. When the drum rotates, the recycled fiber material rises up in the rotating drum and finally, due to gravitational force, falls back down. After falling and hitting to the bottom, the recycled fiber material is defibered, forming a fiber pulp mixture with water. A value of at least one parameter describing the defibration process or fiber pulp properties is measured on the basis of the drum pulper or the resultant fiber pulp mixture, and this value is used for controlling the rotation speed of the drum of the drum pulper. The invention also relates to a drum pulper implementing the method of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of welding hardening carbon steels using a high-power diode laser. The inventive method essentially comprises the irradiation of the parts to be joined using a laser beam from a high-power diode laser, whereby said beam is duly directed by means of optical fibres, mirrors or even with the use of any type of lens. In this way, the interaction areas of the steel parts are fused and a relative movement is produced between the laser beam and the parts to be welded, such that said beam irradiates all of the contact area of the parts. The inventive method can be used to form autogenous welds without pre-heating or post-welding treatments. The welds thus produced are reliable and free from inner or outer cracks, pores or any other defects associated with fusion welding performed using standard methods, such as cuts, inclusion of slag, splashes, etc.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for monitoring an antenna state of a mobile station. A resister (110) may be provided between a battery voltage terminal and a power source voltage terminal of a power amplifier (20). A voltage level corresponding to a dropped amount of a voltage due to the resister may be generated and compared with a previously stored voltage level to determine whether current consumption of the power amplifier has been increased. If the increased amount of the current consumption of the power amplifier is large, the currently connected antenna may be determined to be in an abnormal state and a transmission path may be switched to another antenna. If two antennas provided in the mobile communication are in an electrically abnormal state, a baseband chip (200) may inform a user of the abnormal state of the antenna. Accordingly, an output level degradation generated when the antenna is operated in an electrically abnormal state and shortening of the life span of a battery can be prevented. Thus, performance of an output terminal can be enhanced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Digital television signals comprising a plurality of elementary binary streams representing respective TV programs are multiplexed into a single, low-capacity transport stream, which also incorporates packets containing PSI/SI tables, PCR packets and null packets. The transport stream is then modulated and transmitted to a plurality of terrestrial stations for re-broadcasting from terrestrial aerials. Before modulation, packets carrying PSI/SI tables of type PAT, SDT, NIT and EIT are masked by replacing their PIDs with respective, predetermined masking PIDs, null packets are hidden, and the values of the PCR field are saved. The resulting transport stream is remultiplexed with a secondo, conventional transport stream in order to generate a high-capacity transport stream for transmission. On reception, all the packets of the second transport stream are removed, including the associated null packets. The null packets, PSI/SI tables and PCR fields of the first stream are then restored. <IMAGE>
