Patent EP-1065030-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHEN HUNG CHIH
IPC: B24B37/32
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: Apparatus and methods of polishing substrates are disclosed. A retaining
ring (22) for a polishing apparatus includes an inner surface exposed to contact a peripheral
edge of a substrate to be polished against a polishing surface, a bottom surface (32) exposed
to contact the polishing surface while the substrate is being polished, and a wear
marker (33) indicative of a preselected amount of wear of the bottom surface (32). The inner
surface, bottom surface (32) and wear marker (38) may form part of a retaining ring (22) used in
chemical mechanical polishing operations. In one method, one or more substrates may
be polished against a polishing surface using the retaining ring (22), and at least a portion
of the retainer may be replaced when the bottom surface (32) has been worn away by the
preselected amount indicated by the wear marker (38). In another method, one or more
substrate may be polished against a polishing surface with a substrate carrier that
includes a substrate retaining ring with a wear marker indicative of a preselected
amount of wear of the retaining ring, and a warning signal may be generated upon
detection of the wear marker.

IPC: G10L19/00

Abstract: In a communications system, parametric coding in
accordance with the invention is implemented to generate a
representation of a stereo audio signal, which is composed
of a left channel signal (L) and a right channel signal
(R). To efficiently utilize transmission bandwidth, such a
representation contains (1) information concerning only one
of the L and R signals, and (2) parametric information
based on which, together with (1), the other signal can be
recovered. Because of the design of the parametric coding,
the representation advantageously captures localization
cues of the stereo audio signal, including intensity and
phase characteristics of L and R. As a result, the stereo
audio signal recovered from the transmitted representation
affords a high stereo quality.

Abstract: An improved thrust system for bicycles consists of a handlebar support (1) integral to the frame, a
pair of pedals (11,24), and a ring drive gear (13) operationally linked to the primary mechanical system of the
handlebar support and a saddle (38) operationally linked to the secondary mechanical system of the

independently from the rotation centre of the ring gear (13) and where the secondary mechanical
system allows independent support rotation and upward and downward movement relative to the
vertical symmetry of the bicycle.

Abstract: The invention enables more objective defect evaluation of ophthalmic lenses, especially
contact lenses, to take place through the combination of the schlieren method with the
transmitted light method, with the result that the advantages of these two different systems
are combined. The schlieren method is in a position to illustrate the edge of a contact lens
and its ruptures, in high contrast, for the CCD camera. Likewise, tears and surface defects
can be made visible. Using the transmitted light method, the bubbles may be suitably
prepared for the camera.

Abstract: The method provides determination of optical faults esp. in refractive force, in disks of transparent material e.g. glass by analysis of a viewed image. The method involves projecting a defined pattern of at least two different light intensities esp. by illuminating a uniform pattern. The disk is arranged in the beam path of the projection. The pattern is imaged on a camera. A light and dark sequence of the pattern is imaged on each of a number of adjacent pixels of the camera. The number of pixels is a whole number multiple of the light and dark sequence. The pattern preferably includes equidistant opaque and transparent strips to generate a uniform light and dark sequence. The pattern may include transparent squares defined by opaque lines of the same width as the squares so that a quarter of the pattern is transparent.

Abstract: A method of providing a communication link in a radio
communication system (100) that supports a number of
communication cells. Each cell provides communication from
respective serving communication units (112-132) to a number
of remote communication units (112-116) operating in a
respective cell. The method includes the steps of assigning
(308) dynamically a location specific group identification
code to a group of communication units based upon said
communication units' location or cell within the radio
communication system; and providing group communication to
said group of remote communication units only within said
remote communication units' location or cell. 
     This provides the advantage that there is no requirement to
re-program communication units with specific call areas, as
call area definition is centrally controlled. In addition,
the method supports selective calling within dynamically
defined call areas.

Abstract: A sponsor produces various commercials targeted to unspecified

distributed to a large number of unspecified users. A commercial
processing apparatus (APR) on the user side compares pre-registered
data(Drv) set beforehand by a user and the attachment data(ATR)
in a commercial(CMA) being distributed and determines whether or
not the commercial satisfies the user's needs. In response to the
determination that the commercial satisfies the user's needs, the
commercial based on the commercial data being distributed is shown
and stored in a storage portion (MEM) as registered commercial
data(Dcms). In response to the determination that the commercial
does not satisfy the user's needs, instead of the commercial(Dcm)
being distributed, a commercial (Dcms) based on registered commercial
data already stored in a storage portion(MEM) is shown. Therefore,
a commercial according to user's needs can be provided to the user.
