Patent EP-1348551-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TOBE KENJI
IPC: B41F33/14
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: A plate handling method and apparatus for a printing press that includes printing units (100a ¼ 100d), each having a plate cylinder (3), a main unit motor (101) for driving the plate cylinders (3), and electromagnetic clutches (103a ¼ 103d) disposed between the main unit motor (101) and the printing units (100a ¼ 100d) for transmitting and cutting off a drive force from the main unit motor (101) to the printing units (100a ¼ 100d), and is adapted to rotate the plate cylinders (3) upon the drive by the main unit motor (101) and change plates. The electromagnetic clutch (103a ¼ 103d) of the printing unit (100a ¼ 100d) is disengaged, when an abnormality in changing of the plate was detected by any of sensors (9, 11, 17a) provided in each printing unit (100a ¼ 100d) for detecting an abnormality in plate changing, to cut off the drive by the main unit motor (101), but continue plate changing in the other printing units (100a ¼ 100d) by the drive force from the main unit motor (101). Thus, during a restoring operation for the printing unit where the abnormality in supply or removal of the plate was detected, supply or removal of the plates in the other printing units can be continuously performed, so that a plate handling time can be shortened.

Abstract: A transmitter of a base station includes a data serial-to-parallel
converter, M modulators, M beam formers, and transmission antennas.
The data serial-to-parallel converter converts transmission data into M
sequences. Each modulator modulates the transmission data. Each
beam former weights the modulation signal to form directional beams.
The transmission antennas narrow the beams and transmit the
modulation signals in parallel (MIMO transmission). In a mobile station,
a receiver has reception antennas for receiving data transmitted in
parallel and an MIMO demodulator for demodulating the data.

In some embodiments, nickel is applied to the aluminum contact pads via solder bump formation techniques using electroless nickel plating. In other embodiments, selective electroless copper plating or direct metallization is used to plate sacrificial material directly onto dielectric passivation layers. In still other embodiments, structural material deposition locations are shielded, then sacrificial material is deposited, the shielding is removed, and then structural material is deposited. In still other embodiments structural material is made to attach to non-contact pad regions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for growing a crystalline or poly-crystalline body from a melt is described, wherein the melt is retained by capillary attachment to edge features of a mesa crucible. The boundary profile of the resulting melt surface results in an effect which induces a ribbon grown from the surface of the melt to grow as a flat body. Further, the size of the melt pool is substantially reduced by bringing these edges close to the ribbon, thereby reducing the materials cost and electric power cost associated with the process.
