Title: Float for fishing, specifically shaped in order to be kept at certain spot of river after insertion
Inventor: JUSCHITZ FRANK
IPC: A01K93/00
Filed: 1999-12-31
Abstract: The float is made of balsa wood in the shape of a delta-wing. The upper suspension is spiral shaped. The keel is a steel wire, joined to the pointed bottom of the float and fitted with small pieces of a silicon tube for the attachment of the line. The float reacts with three consecutive steps after it has been inserted into the water. First it is rotated against the flow, than it is pushed towards the center of the river and in a third stage it is kept at the same point without the normal tendency of being driven back towards the river-bank.

Abstract: MPEG 1 Audio data compression is based on subband coding.
A quantization is performed using a psychoacoustic model
which is adapted to the masking behaviour of the human
hearing. Each subband signal is quantized in such a way
that the quantization noise introduced by the coding will
not exceed the masking curve for that subband. In ISO/IEC
11172-3 two independent psychoacoustic models are defined.
The output from these psychoacoustic models is a set of
Signal-to-Masking Ratios, SMR n , for every subband n. In
order to calculate the SMR n  for the psychoacoustic model 2
according to the invention a Fast Fourier Transformation
(FFT) is performed with a length of L=1152 samples by
calculating k subtransformations (ST1,..., ST9) over 2 N 
samples with  k*2 N =L  and fitting together (A) the results
of the k subtransformations.

Abstract: A gas phase planarization process for semiconductor wafers. The present invention comprises a system and method of dry planarization for a semiconductor wafer. For instance, the present invention includes a system adapted to effectively remove all, or a portion of, a layer of dielectric material of a semiconductor wafer through the application of dry abrasion and dry chemistry. As such, a present invention system flattens out height differences of the dielectric material, since high areas of topography are removed faster than low areas. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention utilizes a dry abrasive polishing pad to abrade the desired surface of the semiconductor wafer within a vacuum planarization chamber. As a result of abrading the surface, the abrasive polishing pad breaks the chemical bonds of a thin layer of the dielectric surface material. Once the chemical bonds are broken, reactive radicals within a plasma gas chemically react with the surface material thereby forming a gaseous species which is highly volatile. In other words, the plasma gas is used to remove previously mechanically polished material from the dielectric layer. Subsequently, the newly formed gaseous species is removed from the vacuum planarization chamber. This process of removing material from the surface of the semiconductor wafer continues until the surface is sufficiently planarized. In this manner, the present invention provides a dry process for planarizing a surface of a semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: Provided is a durable spindle motor with a

rotation. The sleeve (12) has a central cylindrical
section (C) extending parallel to the axis and two tapered
sections (A), (B) each connected with the cylindrical
section (C) at its opposite ends and enlarged outwardly, so
that a dynamic force is generated between the tapered
sections (A), (B) and the shaft (11). Preferably, an
inclination of the tapered sections (A), (B) is identical
to that of the shaft (11), and lengths of the tapered
sections (A), (B) is one fourth of that of the sleeve (12).
Similar advantages can be attained in an arrangement in
which the sleeve (12) is defined in the form of cylinder
while the shaft (11) is defined at its peripheral center
with cylindrical section (c) and at its opposite ends with
tapered sections (a), (b).
