Abstract: A chamfered sprocket assembly for facilitating the shifting of a drive chain from a
larger sprocket 40 to a smaller sprocket 50 is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment,
the chamfered sprocket assembly includes a sprocket 40 having a plurality of chamfered
portions 46 on a side facing a smaller sprocket 50, each chamfered portion 46
located between a pair of toothlike projections 45 located on the rim 44 of the sprocket
body 42. The chamfered portions 46 preferably include a crest which tapers toward a
first edge and a second edge of the chamfer portion 46, respectively. The crest is preferably
offset from the center of the chamfer portion 46 toward the driving direction of
the sprocket assembly. To further facilitate the shifting of the drive chain, the
sprocket preferably includes a rounded shoulder to guide the movement of the drive
chain. Finally, the friction between the toothlike projections and the drive chain is
reduced by polishing the toothlike projections 45.

Abstract: An RF antenna having a non-planar resonating region
for radiating or receiving electromagnetic waves in order
to convey communication signals between two electronic
devices via a radio link. The resonating region is
folded into at least two sections so that the radiating
surface of one section is located on a different plane
from the radiating surface of the other section. In
order to optimize the input impedance of the antenna, an
impedance matching part connected to the resonating
region is used to provide a short circuit to the
resonating region. A signal conduit part is used to feed
signals to the resonating region in the proximity of the
impedance matching part. Preferably, the antenna is
integrated into a system connector of a hand-held
communication device so as to allow the hand-held device
to communicate with a communication network via a radio
link.

Abstract: Described is a device and method using an interactive process to improve the
listening experience for a user of headphones or hearing aids. The system uses a
sound source such as a PC or similar device. Programming of the headphone or
hearing aid is accomplished using a process delivered by the sound source. The
user is prompted to listen to various signals thereby testing the frequency
response of each ear and headphone combination. Once the user testing is
completed, individualized compensation coefficients are created to optimize the
listening experience for the user. The coefficients would be downloaded to and
stored within the hearing aids. Downloading could accomplished by wire or by
wireless means such as infrared, radio frequency, magnetic or electromagnetic
coupling. In headphone units, the compensation factors could be stored either
within the headphones or maintained at the sound source. In addition,
headphone units could be operated with or without wires (using infrared, radio
frequency, magnetic or electromagnetic coupling) for downloading or audio
listening.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une source de photons comprenant une chambre de décharge, une pluralité de sources de faisceaux ioniques disposées dans la chambre de décharge et un mécanisme de neutralisation. Chacune des sources de faisceaux ioniques accélère de manière électrostatique un faisceau d'ions d'un gaz de traitement en direction d'une région de décharge de plasma . Le mécanisme de neutralisation neutralise au moins partiellement les faisceaux ioniques avant que ceux-ci ne pénètrent dans la région de décharge. Les faisceaux neutralisés pénètrent dans la région de décharge de plasma et forment un plasma chaud qui rayonne des photons. Les photons peuvent se trouver dans la plage de longueur d'onde des ultraviolets extrêmes ou des rayons X mous et, dans une réalisation, ils possèdent des longueurs d'onde dans la plage comprise approximativement entre 10 et 15 nanomètres.

Abstract: An enhanced-surface-area conductive layer compatible with high-dielectric constant materials is created by forming a film or layer having at least two phases, at least one of which is electrically conductive. The film may be formed in any convenient manner, such as by chemical vapor deposition techniques, which may be followed by an anneal to better define and/or crystallize the at least two phases. The film may be formed over an underlying conductive layer. At least one of the at least two phases is selectively removed from the film, such as by an etch process that preferentially etches at least one of the at least two phases so as to leave at least a portion of the electrically conductive phase. Ruthenium and ruthenium oxide, both conductive, may be used for the two or more phases. Iridium and its oxide, rhodium and its oxide, and platinum and platinum-rhodium may also be used. A wet etchant comprising ceric ammonium nitrate and acetic acid may be used. In the case of this etchant and a ruthenium/ruthenium oxide film, the etchant preferentially removes the ruthenium phase, leaving a pitted or "islanded" surface of ruthenium oxide physically and electrically connected by the underlying conductive layer. The remaining pitted or islanded layer, together with the underlying conductive layer, if any, constitutes an enhanced-surface-area conductive layer. The enhanced-surface-area conductive layer may be used to form a plate of a storage capacitor in an integrated circuit, such as in a memory cell of a DRAM or the like.

Abstract: In plastics-encapsulated semiconductor devices, for example surface-mount power devices, aluminium corrosion due to ingress or generation of moisture within the encapsulation (150) is avoided by bonding at least one sacrificial additional wire (24, 25, 26, 27) of substantially pure aluminium to a bond pad (11, 13, 14) and/or terminal area (101, 110) of the device. The actual connection wires (21, 22, 23) of the device are of an alloyed aluminium material, such as nickel-doped aluminium, that is more resistant to corrosion by moisture than is the sacrificial additional wire (24, 25, 27). The sacrificial additional wire (24, 25, 27) serves as a corrodible getter of the moisture within the encapsulation (150). The bond pads (11, 12, 13, 14) may be of an aluminium alloy, for example an aluminium-silicon alloy, or even of relatively pure aluminium.

Une pompe à engrenages est en communication fluidique avec l'extrudeuse, reçoit le polymère fondu et régule le débit de polymère. Une filière est en communication fluidique avec la pompe à engrenages et file le polymère fondu en fibres optiques. Un élément chauffant permet de régler la température de la fibre optique après la sortie de la fibre de la filière. Les fibres optiques sont refroidies lentement de la température de fusion à la température ambiante de manière à éliminer les variations morphologiques radiales. Un rouleau de tension sert à tendre les fibres optiques suite à la sortie des fibres de la filière afin de maximiser la cristallisation du polymère fondu.
