Abstract: An electrical connector (10) is adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board (12). The connector includes a dielectric housing (14) having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages (16). A plurality of standoffs (17) project from the housing toward the printed circuit board to space the housing from the board. The housing is unitarily molded of plastic material. A plurality of terminals (34) are received in the passages. Each terminal includes a contact beam section (36) in the housing, a tail section (38) projecting from the housing and a retention section (40) therebetween. A plurality of retention bosses (46) are molded integrally with the housing in alignment with the passages and project from the housing toward the printed circuit board whereby the passages extend through the retention bosses. The terminals are stamped and formed of sheet metal material with at least portions of the retention sections of the terminals being located in the passages within the retention bosses. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the standoffs (17) are eliminated, and the retention bosses (50) perform a dual function of retaining the terminals and providing standoffs for the connector.

Abstract: Data is converted by a prediction function. The converted data is run length compressed and the resultant compressed font data is stored into an ROM. When outputting, the Compressive data is sent to a run length expander. The run length expander produces bits of fonts and sequentially stores into an RAM. The stored data is sent to a reverse prediction function processor and a font pattern is formed.

Abstract: D7 A fastener comprises a female member and a male member adapted to be interengaged. The male member comprises a ferromagnetic projection, with a transversely extending retaining portion, which inserts into an opening in the female member. The female member includes a slidable engagement means which engages with the retaining portion to prevent withdrawal of the male member from the female member. The engagement means includes a portion extending sideways of the female member to slide the engagement means out of engagement with the retaining portion. That portion of the engagement means which interengages with the retaining portion is formed of ferromagnetic material, the remainder being non-magnetic. Either the projection or the ferromagnetic portion of the engagement means comprises a permanent magnet whereby the two ferromagnetic portions are attractive together to retain the retaining portion and the engagement means in interengagement, and thus the male member within the female member until manual manipulation of the sideways extending portion.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and process for making the same are disclosed which uses a dielectric stack to improve fabrication throughput, gap-fill, planarity, and within-wafer uniformity. A gap-fill dielectric layer 34 (which preferably contains an integral seed layer) is first deposited over conductors 22, 24, and 26. Layer 34 is preferably a high density plasma (HDP) silicon dioxide deposition which planarizes high aspect ratio conductors such as 24, 26 but does not necessarily planarize low aspect ratio conductors such as 22. A dielectric polish layer 40, which preferably polishes faster than the gap-fill layer may be deposited over layer 34. The polish layer may be formed, for example, by plasma chemical vapor deposition of TEOS. Finally, a chemical-mechanical polishing process is used to planarize the dielectric stack in a manner which requires a minimal polishing time and produces a highly planarized structure.

     There is a completely free choice of coupling of the four elements, first, second lever, sub-frame and wheel pair/wheel set, to the three concentric moving rings or groups of rings, the sole proviso being that the forced radial adjustment of the wheel pair/wheel set is achieved.

Abstract: A dual head nuclear camera system automatically switchable (and optimized) to perform either SPECT imaging or PET imaging that utilizes attenuation correction for nonuniform attenuation in SPECT or PET modes. The dual head detectors contain switchable triggering circuitry so that coincidence detection for PET imaging and non-coincidence detection for SPECT imaging is available. The system uses a variable integration technique with programmable integration interval; variable sized clusters for centroiding, use of dual integrators per PMT channel, the event detection and acquisition circuitry of the camera system is switchable for PET and SPECT imaging. In such a switchable SPECT/Pet dual head camera system, a mechanism and method is shown to perform transmission and emission scanning sessions with two line sources and two detectors wherein two sliding transmission detection windows are employed to differentiate between transmission and emission photons. Transmission and emission data can be collected simultaneously. This system provides that the dual transmission detection windows are each associated with a particular line source and move in synchronization. Further, the two line sources and the two detector windows all move in synchronization in the direction of the long axis of the object being scanned. In this configuration, the system can effectively reduce the amount of cross-talk detected by a detector.
