Abstract: A manufacturing method for a semiconductor device is
provided with the steps of: semi-full dicing a semiconductor
wafer so as to leave a dicing residual portion with a
predetermined thickness between devices on the semiconductor
wafer; forming a protective layer having a chemical etching
resistant property on an element formation face of the
semiconductor wafer; chemically etching the semiconductor
wafer having the protective layer formed on the element
formation face from the rear face side so as to polish the
rear face of the semiconductor wafer, so as to remove the
dicing residual portion to divide the semiconductor wafer
into individual semiconductor chips, and so as to remove
damaged areas in a cut face of the semiconductor wafer
resulted from the semi-full dicing process. Thus, it
becomes possible to reduce the number of processes, and also
to carry out a polishing process and a dicing process safely
without giving damages to the semiconductor wafer and
without causing cracks and chips therein.

Abstract: A photorecording medium contains a polymeric matrix, typically
cross-linked to provide a desired level of physical stability, and a
photoimageable system containing a photoactive monomer. Unlike
previous polymer media, which tend to contain a substantially
homogeneous dispersion of photoimageable system and matrix polymer,
the matrix and photoimageable system of the invention are phase
separated, yet still exhibit low light scattering such that useful
holographic properties are possible.

Abstract: Turbine stator vane segments have radially inner and outer walls (12, 14) with
vanes (10) extending therebetween. The inner and outer walls (12, 14) are
compartmentalized and have impingement plates (36). Steam flowing into the
outer wall plenum (32) passes through the impingement plate (36) for
impingement cooling of the outer wall upper surface. The spent impingement
steam flows into cavities (42, 44) of the vane (10) having inserts (54, 56) for
impingement cooling the walls of the vane (10). The steam passes into the
inner wall (12) and through the impingement plate (72) for impingement
cooling of the inner wall surface and for return through return cavities (46, 48.
50) having inserts (58, 60, 62) for impingement cooling of the vane surfaces.
At least one film cooling hole is defined through a wall of at least one of the
cavities for flow communication between an interior of the cavity and an
exterior of the vane. The film cooling hole(s) are defined adjacent a potential
low LCF life region, so that cooling medium that bleeds out through the film
cooling hole(s) reduces a thermal gradient in a vicinity thereof, thereby the
increase the LCF life of that region.

Abstract: A torque limiting mechanism for transmitting power of an external drive source (Eg) to the drive shaft of a compressor (C). A coupler member is a spring frame that can be engaged with and disengaged from first and second engaging portions (34, 40). When the spring frame is engaged with the engaging portions, power is transmitted from a pulley to a hub. When the load on the hub is equal to or greater than a predetermined level, the engaging state between the engaging portions and the spring-frame changes such that power transmission is discontinued. Thereafter, part of the first and second engaging portions (34, 40) is destroyed such that the spring frame rotates relative to the engaging portions without interfering with the engaging portions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adaptive processing in
a communication system receiver. The adaptive processing facilitates power savings and
permits enhanced performance when necessary. This extends a receiver's operation time
in receivers that operate on batteries, such as in cordless telephones or cellular
telephones. A receiver adopting the principles of the present invention evaluates the
characteristics and dynamics of an incoming signal, and based on the quality of the
incoming signal, adjusts various aspects of the receiver such as the on-line correlators
and analog to digital converters, the timing circuits, the despread equalizers, and the
combiner. If the receiver comprises a receiver operation in accordance with the GSM,
the receiver may cycle the MLSE detection algorithms or cross correlation may be done
over fewer data symbols.

determines whether the when the hammer has begun to strike the anvil and generate the
elevated torque either (1) before a fastener has reached a seated position against a
workpiece or (2) after the fastener has reached the seated position against the workpiece.
Thereafter, the control device only controls the operation the drive source based upon
signals generated by the sensor after the fastener has reached the seated position against the
workpiece. The power tools may optionally also include a setting device (34) for setting at
least one operating mode and the setting device is preferably coupled to the control device.
Further, a switch (48) may be provided to switch the operating mode set by the setting
device to a predetermined operating mode, which is preferably stored in the control device.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle has an engine, a generator motor, a drive
motor, a drive wheel mechanically connected to the engine,

stopping revolution of the engine, and generator motor
control processing means for, when the hybrid vehicle is to
be started, covering a shortfall of the drive force
produced by the drive motor with the drive force produced
by the generator motor by using a reaction force provided
by the stop means. The generator motor control processing
means causes a generation of a generator motor torque in
dependence on a difference between a changing rate of a
requested torque and a limiting value of a changing rate of
a drive motor torque pre-set for the drive motor. Thus,
the changing rate of the vehicle torque and the changing
rate of the requested torque can be made equal, thereby
preventing an uncomfortable sensation from being caused to
a driver when a hybrid vehicle is to be started.
