Patent EP-0863346-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FUKANO YOSHIHIRO
IPC: B05C11/08
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: A suck back valve is proposed in which the response
speed of a diaphragm is improved and in which control
becomes assured, wherein there is no concern of changes
occurring in an amount of sucked fluid, and wherein a system
employing the suck back valve is kept small in scale,
thereby enabling ease of installation. 
     When a coating liquid is supplied to a fluid passage
(60) from a coating liquid supply source (180), coating
liquid drips from a nozzle (184) onto a semiconductor wafer
(182). An ON/OFF valve (66) is activated, whereby an ON/OFF
valve diaphragm (68) is displaced in the direction of arrow
A, and supply of coating liquid is halted. In addition,
when a linear voice coil type displacement device (148) is
activated, a diaphragm (128) is displaced in the direction
of arrow B, and coating liquid inside the fluid passage (62)
becomes sucked thereby, so that any coating liquid inside
the nozzle (184) is returned in the direction of arrow D.

Abstract: The step (10) has a surface with a number of webs and grooves running in the direction of travel. The step is made of plastics, in particular glass-fibre reinforced plastics. There is a cut-out (26) in the rear edge of the step surface (12). The cutout receives a reinforcing strip (22) which cannot be lost. This is a hollow metal string and fits in the cutout with as little play as possible. The rear region of the step surface may have support ribs (28) on its underside, extending downward. The reinforcing strip passes through them.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an
antenna for communicating with a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite
which is small-sized and light and can track a LEO satellite at
high speed at a small-sized earth station using a LEO satellite.
The antenna according to the present invention uses two offset
parabolic antenna-type reflectors and each primary feed is
installed in the focal position of a paraboloid forming the
reflector. The quantity of an offset of the offset parabolic
antenna is selected so that antenna gain is maximum at the
minimum operational elevation angle. Each primary feed is
mechanically independent of the mobile reflector, is attached
and fixed to a feed line. In the meantime, each reflector is
turned based upon an azimuth axis and an elevation axis according
to Az-EL mounting.

Abstract: A method of etching a platinum electrode layer disposed on a substrate.
The method comprises providing a substrate supporting a platinum electrode
layer, an insulation layer on the platinum electrode layer, and a resist layer on
the insulation layer. A portion of the insulation layer is etched by employing
a plasma of an etchant gas to break through and to remove the portion of the
insulation layer from the platinum electrode layer to expose part of the
platinum electrode layer. The exposed part of the platinum electrode layer is
then etched by employing a plasma of an etchant gas comprising argon. The
etched platinum electrode layer is subsequently overetched by employing a
high density plasma of an etchant gas to remove redeposited veils from the
etched platinum electrode layer. The etched platinum electrode layer is
employed in a semiconductor device.

Abstract: A projective display system includes a light source (250), a display
surface (282), and a two dimensional light modulator array (242) in an optical
path between the light source (250) and the display surface (282). The two
dimensional light modulator array (242) has a plurality of light modulators (244)
arranged in rows to modulate light from the light source (250), with at least one
row being susceptible to failure. To compensate for any failed rows, an optical
element (270) redirects modulated light from presenting a first row (284) of
virtual pixels on the display surface (282) to substantially occupy a second row
(286) of virtual pixels on the display surface (282). In conjunction with various
image processing techniques for deblurring, this permits partial or complete
correction for faulty rows of light modulators.

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining a cartridge in a removable media disk drive
during drive operation is disclosed. The apparatus has a protuberance (32) at a distal end of a
flexible arm (33). When a cartridge is pushed into the drive, it engages the protuberance and
flexes it along the edge of the cartridge. The protuberance flexes back when it engages a
cut-out in the side of the cartridge. An opening in a side wall of the disk drive chassis
allows the flexible arm to flex out when the cartridge engages it. The flexible arm is
attached to a sliding lever (22). As the cartridge is inserted further into the drive, the flexible
arm moves past the opening and thereby locks the cartridge into the drive.

Abstract: A method for making continuous-tone, raster color images that are less susceptible
to the effects of misregistration is described. For each pixel the present method determines
the component-wise maximum positive color difference for the pixel from its neighbors. A
fraction of this difference is then determined and then added to each pixel's color value,
thus eliminating annoying white space between color transitioning in pixels. The particular
fractional value is a function of the pixel's luminance.

A pressure distributing part (7) is provided between the elastic cover and top basis part (9) of the press. The elastic underlay and cover are forced into the gaps between the stone holder frame and the stones during pressing, forming seals that prevent the mortar or concrete from entering the space between the underlay/cover and the stones. The resulting composite is then filled with mortar or concrete. The stones are held spaced apart by a given distance inside a surrounding frame (4), then pressure is applied to the top side of the stones via the top basis part, and then mortar and concrete is introduced into the gaps between the frame and stones. After the mortar or concrete is cured the pre-fabricated part is removed from the mould.

The system analyzes the incoming media's type, header information and content and, in
conjunction with other databases available within an enterprise, such as a human resources or
customer information management databases, determines a plurality of suitable enterprise
resources that may be able to adequately respond to said incoming media stream. The system
may, again in conjunction with the enterprise databases, determine the availability of an
identified enterprise resource and, if available, routes said incoming media stream to said
identified and available resource. If the identified resource is unavailable, alternate resources
are selected from said plurality of identified resources for possible routing of the incoming
media stream. The system also tracks the disposition of the media stream by the identified and
available resource, and if said disposition of said media stream does not occur within a
predetermined time, the system increases the priority of said media stream and re-routes the
media stream within the enterprise. The system also maintains a database of statistics relating
to the receipt and disposition of incoming media streams.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for stably adding
a predetermined amount of supercritical carbon
dioxide at a fixed delivery rate into a forming machine
and also a process for producing an expanded thermoplastic
resin product by making use of the addition
method. Carbon dioxide is charged from a liquefied
carbon dioxide cylinder (1) into a predetermined amount
deliverable pump (2) while allowing the carbon dioxide
to remain in a liquefied state. When the carbon
dioxide is pressurized and delivered by the predetermined
amount deliverable pump (2), a delivery
pressure of the carbon dioxide is controlled at an optional
pressure within a range of from a critical pressure
(7.4 MPa) of carbon dioxide to 40 MPa to deliver
the carbon dioxide without any fluctuation of the
amount of the delivery by setting up the pressure of a
pressure control valve (3). The carbon dioxide is
heated to a critical temperature (31°C) of carbon
dioxide or higher to convert it into supercritical carbon
dioxide. This supercritical carbon dioxide is then
added to a molten thermoplastic resin in the forming
machine (4).
