Patent EP-0874327-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIM KWAN-SUNG
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 1998-04-21
Abstract: A smart card capable of adjusting voltages supplied from an external device.
In the smart card, a voltage detector detects levels of the voltages supplied from the
external device and generates enable signals, if the detected levels are lower than
a predetermined level. A voltage controller converts levels of the voltages supplied
from the external device into levels of operating voltages of the smart card, in
response to the enable signals. A logic level converter converts logic levels of
signals received from the external device into logic levels of the smart card, based
on a voltage difference between the voltages from the external device and the
converted operating voltages.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing liquid jet recording
heads, each provided with discharge ports (2g) to discharge
liquid, a discharge port plate (2b,21) having the discharge
ports arranged therefor, and performing ablation
processing of holes becoming the discharge ports by use
of a mask (12) for projecting the image of the mask onto the
discharge port plate with coherent laser beam (L) as light
source, comprises the following steps of forming water-repellent
layer (22) on the surface of the discharge port
plate (2b,21) on the liquid discharge side; and of performing
the ablation processing by irradiating the laser beam
from the reverse side of the surface of discharge port
plate having the water-repellent layer formed thereon
in a state of such surface being arranged to be under
the atmosphere containing fluorine atom, and forming
the discharge ports, at the same time, enabling the
substance containing the fluorine atom excited by the
laser beam (24) to adhere to the surface having the water-repellent
layer formed thereon. In this manner, the
throughput of product manufacture is enhanced without
any provision of extra processing steps to remove the
byproducts to be created by the irradiation of laser
beam, hence contributing to a significant cost
reduction of the manufacture of liquid jet recording
heads.

Abstract: In a method for the thermal bonding of a base part (3) of a packaging with a cover film (F), especially for the welding or sealing of a base part of a packaging for contact lenses with a cover film, the contact surface of the base part (3) facing the cover film (F) and the corresponding contact surface of the cover film (F) facing the base part are mechanically pressed against one another along a join. While the mechanical pressure is being generated along the join, heat is simultaneously caused to act on the join, so that the contact surfaces of base part (3) and cover film (F) are thermally bonded to one another along the join. For the purpose of generating the mechanical pressure and causing heat to act on the join there is used a contact plate (70) of low heat capacity which, during the thermal bonding, is pressed against the surface of the cover film (F) remote from the contact surface. The temperature of the contact plate is measured in the immediate vicinity of the cover film, and in the event of the measured temperature deviating from a predetermined tolerance range around a desired temperature, the temperature of the contact plate (70) is within a very short time adjusted so that it again lies within the predetermined tolerance range around the desired temperature.

Abstract: An electronic circuit is formed on a wiring substrate
capable of cross wiring, and an electrode of the wiring
substrate and a connecting portion of a lead frame are
electrically connected to each other without wire bonding.
As a consequence, while the substrate size is enhanced, the
wiring pitch is reduced, whereby the electronic circuit can
have a larger area and a larger scale. Further, the
difference between the thickness of the encapsulating resin
on the upper surface of the lead frame from the upper surface
of the wiring substrate and the thickness of the
encapsulating resin on the lower surface of the lead frame
is made smaller than the thickness of the wiring substrate,
whereby the occurring stress is reduced, and the
encapsulating resin is kept from being distorted or cracking.
Hence realized is an optical module having a configuration
in which, while the electronic circuit has a larger scale,
the stability and durability are maintained.
