Patent EP-1324115-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KUCHII TAKAFUMI
IPC: H01S5/0683
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: An image exposing apparatus forms an image on photosensitive
material by the technique of exposing and forming an image through direct
modulation of a semiconductor laser device (40). The exposing apparatus
includes a beam scanning unit for scanning a beam emitted from a
semiconductor laser device (40) to photosensitive material, and a laser
driving unit (44, LD) for driving the semiconductor laser device, the laser
driving unit (44, LD) being operable to vary its driving current to the
semiconductor laser device in accordance with a received image signal.
According to the invention, the image exposing apparatus further comprises
a laser output controller (45, LC) operable to measure current-beam output
characteristics of the semiconductor laser device over a predetermined
current range and then set a correlation between the image signal for the
laser driving unit and the driving current for the semiconductor laser
device (40), based on the measurement information.

Abstract: An interface between an aseptic or pasteurized
product supply vessel, one or more product
dispensing machines, and a cleaning liquid supply
vessel is disclosed. The interface can be used for
directing milk and other foods from a process line
to a packaging or other machine. In one variation,
the interface has first and second spaced liquid
supply valves, arranged in series, between the
cleaning liquid inlet and the product dispensing
machine outlet. The piping between the two valves
can be drained, and optionally filled with steam or
other sterilizing fluid, to provide a barrier
between the cleaning fluid upstream of one valve and
the food located downstream of the other valve which
is en route to the packaging machine. In another
variation, the interface has a product supply valve,
a drain isolation valve, a drain between those two
valves and itself controlled by a drain valve, and a
cleaning liquid supply valve. The interface is
versatile, and can be used for meeting the 3A
standard for pasteurized dairy products, as well as
the different standards for aseptic and near-aseptic
packaging.

Abstract: A method of making a carboxylated carbohydrate is disclosed, cellulose
being a preferred carbohydrate material. Carboxylated cellulose fibers can be produced
whose fiber strength and degree of polymerization is not significantly sacrificed. The
method involves the use of a catalytic amount of a hindered cyclic oxammonium compounds
as a primary oxidant and chlorine dioxide as a secondary oxidant in an aqueous
environment. The oxammonium compounds may be formed  in situ  from their corresponding
amine, hydroxylamine, or nitroxyl compounds. The oxidized cellulose may
be stabilized against D.P. loss and color reversion by further treatment with an oxidant
such as sodium chlorite or a chlorine dioxide/ hydrogen peroxide mixture. Alternatively
it may be treated with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride. In the case
of cellulose the method results in a high percentage of carboxyl groups located at the
fiber surface. The product is especially useful as a papermaking fiber where it contributes
strength and has a higher attraction for cationic additives. The product is also useful
as an additive to recycled fiber to increase strength. The method can be used to improve
properties of either virgin or recycled fiber. It does not require high α-cellulose
fiber but is suitable for regular market pulps.

Abstract: A miniature gas chromatography column (10) is provided that is equipped with an
on-column thermoelectric temperature control (60) and which is fabricated using a
chemical procedure to bond the stationary phase (22) to the interior walls of a capillary
column. The fabrication of the column is begun by size-matching a pair of substrates (12)
and then etching nanometer-scale groves (16) on to one of the substrates using a
photolithography. That is followed by the application and bonding of the stationary phase
into the grooves which typically involves the impregnation and reaction with a solution of
the stationary phase and evaporation of a solvent. The coated channels are then closed to
form the finished capillary column. Compared with existing GC columns, the device with
its nano-fabricated column with temperature control has the distinct advantages of being
miniature in size, low in power, and light in its overall weight, all of which provide
significant advantages.

Abstract: A method for depositing metals, metal blends and
alloys onto substrate surfaces, including microporous
substrates utilizing a plasma operation undertaken at
room temperature. In the process, a liquid solution of a
monomer or comonomer precursor having a metallic
component is utilized to wet the surface of the
substrate, with the solvent portion thereafter being
removed to leave the substrate surface coated with a dry
deposit. The coated substrate is then introduced into a
plasma reaction chamber with RF energy being applied
across spaced electrodes to create a plasma glow along
with the introduction of a plasma supporting gas. The
substrate is exposed to the plasma glow for conversion of
the precursor to dissociated form to create a deposit
consisting essentially of the metallic component in
elemental form as a cohesive film on the substrate
surface. Preferred metals include such noble metals as
platinum, gold and silver, as well as other metals.
Preferred precursors include platinum hexafluoro-acetylacetonate,
(trimethyl) methylcyclopentadienyl
platinum, dimethyl (acetylacetonate) gold, and trimethyl
phosphine (hexafluoroacetyl acetonate) silver.

Abstract: A data-warehousing system allows various areas of an enterprise to view data at
varying levels of data freshness. The system acquires data that represents an event in the
life of a business enterprise, such as a transaction between the enterprise and one of its
customers, and loads this data into a database table. The system then makes the data
available for retrieval from the table and stores information indicating when the data was
made available for retrieval. In some embodiments, the system also acquires data that is
related to and more current than the data representing the event and stores the more
current data in the database. The system then stores information indicating when the more
current data was stored in the database. Such a data warehouse allows decision-makers in
the business to see some information ( e.g.,  customer transaction or account data) up-to-the-moment
and other information as it stood at some specific point-in-time, such as at the
end of the previous month. The data-warehousing system does this without requiring
duplication of data,  i.e.,  without requiring the replication of data in multiple databases or
tables. The system allows the enterprise to maintain all of its data in a single database with
refresh periods as short as the enterprise wishes. Departments that demand data that
changes less frequently can view the data as it stood at some point prior to the last refresh.

Abstract: In a system for distributing and licensing rights-managed digital content,
the way in which content is distributed and licensed can be affected by the trust
relationships that are established between the various servers that participate in the
system. In a typical system, a license server licenses content to particular identities, and
an identity server defines those identities by issuing certificates for those identities. The
license server issues licenses to identities that have been issued by trusted identity
servers. Also, the license server can issue a license on behalf of any entity whose private
key it holds. Thus, in one embodiment, the universe of people to whom the license server
can issue licenses can be expanded by adding new identity servers to the list of trusted
identity servers. In another embodiment, exceptions to the general trust of an identity
server can be carved out by creating an exclusion list, which excludes particular identity
certificate (e.g., on the basis of e-mail address, domain name, etc.) that have been issued
by a trusted identity server. In another embodiment, the universe of content for which the
license server can issue licenses can be expanded by providing the license server with the
private keys of other license servers.
