Patent EP-0848587-A3 (EP)
Title: Strap device and method for clamping soldered wires
Inventor: GLENN GREGORY S
IPC: H01R12/55
Filed: 1997-12-11
Abstract: A strap device (10) clamps soldered wires to a conductive pad
(22) to reduce stress on the solder joints (12) and to prevent
the wire from springing off of the conductive pad if the solder
joint should fail. This is accomplished by forming a conductive
strap on a die into a yoke shape. The ends (18,20) of the strap
are then welded (14, 16) to a conductive pad so that the
strap's yoke shape defines an opening between the strap and the
conductive pad. A wire is inserted into the opening and soldered
to form a solder joint (12) between the wire, the strap,
and the conductive pad. The strap reduces the stress on the
solder joint by increasing its surface area and by clamping the
wire to the conductive pad during the high temperature portion
of a thermal cycle. If the solder joint should fail, the conductive
strap maintains a electro-mechanical connection between
the wire and the conductive pad.

Abstract: A stent and a method for fabricating the stent are disclosed.
The stent has an originally flat pattern and connection points
where the sides of the flat pattern are joined. The method
includes the steps of a) cutting a stent pattern into a flat
piece of metal thereby to produce a metal pattern, b)
deforming the metal pattern so as to cause two opposing sides
to meet, and c) joining the two opposing sides at least at one
point. Substantially no portion of the stent projects into
the lumen of the stent when the stent is expanded against the
internal wall of a blood vessel.

Abstract: The exchanger comprises a packet of plates embossed or corrugated to form undulation and tubular passages. In these heat-transfer media flow past each other in a cruciform pattern. The packets are held together by pressure plates, between which tie bolts working in tapped bushes pass. The undulating (31) and tubular (32) passages are separated by comb plates (14) which are welded to the end plates (15) by stepped joints, and the sealing side plates are held in place by pressure plates. The tie bolts work in tapped bushes welded to the side plates. The comb and side plates can be of high-grade steel, and the former can be cut out by the plasma-welding system. The pressure plates and side plates can be free so that they are not secured to each other.

Inventor: BAIRD HENRY SPALDING
IPC: G06V30/168
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a method useful in image recognition by
employing the restoration of degraded images to produce an approximation of the
original ideal artwork for the image. That is, pursuant to the invention, a set of images
is read from an image source and an attempt is made to recover, or closely
approximate, the ideal artwork (e.g., original symbol) from which the images were
derived. The approximation of the original symbol then serves to train an image
classifier thereby increasing the effectiveness of the classifier. For example, the
classifier can use the original symbol approximations as input to a degradation model
to produce a set of degraded images useful in document classification. Thus, the
effectiveness of the classifier is enhanced through the reduction in the classification
error rate.

Abstract: Data routing of the present invention is a capability of pre-configuring
routes for data traveling through the software or the hardware of a computer
system. The routes are set up by a consumer of the data or the destination
and are delivered to the producer of the data or the source. The data route
may include an identification of the consumer of the data, a minimal list of
routines which will perform some preprocessing of the data, a return route, a
don't care mask, a set of registered routes and a set of actions. The set of
actions can be a set of states to transition or a set of functions to call. In order
to determine a data route hit, the incoming data from the producer is
AND'ed with the don't care mask, the results of which is then compared with
the set of registered routes, i.e. a pattern of bits. If the results are equal, then
there is a data route hit. The incoming data from the producer is then passed
off to the actions.

Abstract: A voltage detection circuit 2 detects a voltage of a battery 1 and, when the voltage
thus detected is within a tolerable input voltage of a power source unit 5, an on/off signal
transmitter circuit 4 allows an on/off signal generator circuit 3 to transmit an on/off signal
S 2  to the power source unit 5. When the voltage of the battery 1 becomes lower than a
lower limit of the tolerable input voltage range of the power source unit 5 due to increase of
a power consumption of a load 6 thereof, the on/off signal transmitter circuit 4 transmits an
off signal S 3  to the power source unit 5 regardless of the on/off signal S 2  from the on/off
signal generator circuit 3. Thus, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation of the load
due to abnormal operation of the power source unit.

Abstract: A magnetron sputtering source for depositing a material onto a substrate
includes a target from which the material is sputtered, a magnet assembly
disposed in proximity to the target for confining a plasma at the surface of the target
and a drive assembly for scanning the magnet assembly relative to the target. The
sputtering source may further include an anode for maintaining substantially
constant plasma characteristics as the magnet assembly is scanned relative to the
target. The anode may be implemented as variable voltage stationary electrodes
positioned at or near the opposite ends of the scan path followed by the magnet
assembly, spaced-apart anode wires positioned between the target and the
substrate or a movable anode that is scanned with the magnet assembly. The
magnet elements of the magnet assembly may have different spacings from-the
surface of the target to enhance depositional thickness uniformity. The target may
be fabricated in sections, each having a target element bonded to a backing
element for reduced sensitivity to thermal variations. The target may be rotated
from a first fixed position to a second fixed position relative to the magnet assembly
at least once during its operating life for increased target utilization.
