Abstract: A surface processing method by blowing submicron particles is disclosed, in which submicron particles are blown against a surface of a work to deposit a layer of the material of the particles on a surface of the work, or etching the surface of the work. 
     The processing method uses blowing air stream containing submicron particles having average particles size ranging between 0.01 and 3.0 µm. The deposition or etching is effected depending on an incident angle of the particles to the surface of work. According to the method deposition of the material can be effected with very high deposition rate and in case of etching very smooth etched surface is obtained.

Abstract: A memory circuit (55) for storing words of data has two memory banks (71; 72) each formed by a plurality of memory devices (73, 74, 75, 76; 77, 78, 79, 80) connected in parallel. In a first mode, the memory circuit (55) responds to an initial request for access and an address signal by reading data from a storage location in one of said memory banks (71; 72). Subsequent requests for access to contiguous storage locations do not require an address signal, instead a control mechanism responds by generating an address to read data alternately from storage locations in the first and second memory banks (71; 72). In a second mode, the memory circuit (55) responds to every request for access to the memory circuit (55) by enabling access to the first or second memory bank (71; 72) as indicated by an address which accompanied the request. The memory devices (73, 74, 75, 76; 77, 78, 79, 80) of a given bank (71; 72) are erased and programmed in parallel. However, when a given storage location is found to contain one or more bits that were not erased, another erase command is sent to only those memory devices (73, 74, 75, 76; 77, 78, 79, 80) associated with a bit that was not erased. Similarly, when a word of data has not been stored properly, only those memory devices which failed to store a bit are placed into the write state for another programming attempt.

Abstract: Flaws in an optical fiber (2) are automatically classified as to type by obtaining separate camera (4) images of the fiber (2) illuminated at different angles, and analyzing the images to detect the presence of optical patterns that are characteristic of each different type of flaw. Nominal and actual fiber boundaries are preferably first determined, preferably using noncoherent light, and an initial classification made according to the nature of the differential between the two. An analysis under a side light beam can then be performed to distinguish flaws such as splices (22,24,26,30,36), hard versus soft external debris (18), bubbles (46), internal debris and uncured buffer. The system reverts to a boundary light analysis to characterize a splice once it has been detected. The boundary analysis is preferably performed with a combination of diffused backlighting (12) transmitted through the fiber, and reflected frontlighting (14) at an angle of about 15°-30° to the fiber axis. The focused beam analysis is preferably performed with a laser beam at an angle of about 15°-45° to the fiber axis.

Abstract: An optical communication arrangement is disclosed which utilizes a combination of leadframe and package molding technology to reduce the complexity of the arrangement. In general, a leadframe (12) is utilized for the placement and connection of the required electronic circuitry (24). A first molding operation is then performed to encapsulate (30) the electronics. If necessary, a metallic plate may then be attached to the housed electronics to provide EMI shielding. An optical device (44) is then coupled to the leadframe, where a separate subassembly may be used to house the optical device. The encapsulated electronics and optics are then simultaneously covered during a second molding operation to form the final package (52). In one embodiment, an optical subassembly incorporating a connector receptacle (54) may be utilized, where the second molding operation is performed such that the connector receptacle remains exposed. Alternatively, the molded outer package may be configured to include the connector receptacle.
