Patent EP-0849637-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TANITSU OSAMU
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 1997-11-21
Abstract: An illumination apparatus in which angles and positional deviations of a laser beam on
an illuminated surface can be detected by one detecting system with high accuracy. The
illumination apparatus includes a light dividing unit (such as a beamsplitter) that is located
between a laser source and the illuminated surface and that splits off a portion of the laser beam,
a detecting unit that detects positional deviations and angular deviations of the laser beam
relative to a reference axis based on the split off portion of the laser beam, and a light controlling
unit, such as a shutting member with a pinhole. The light controlling unit is positioned on the
optical path between the laser source and the illuminated surface when an angle of the laser beam
are detected relative to the reference axis. The shutting member is removed from the optical path
when positional deviations of the laser beam are detected relative to the reference axis.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed that
automatically expands the computer displayed information that interests a computer user.
Thus making the information easier for the user to see. The computer detects which area on a
display device has the user's interest by using a gaze-tracking device to monitor where the
user looks on the display. After determining which area interests the user the invention
expands the display of the information in that area.

Abstract: In a clock timing recovery circuit for recovering the clock timing from a
baseband signal obtained by detection of a received signal, clock timing is rapidly
established by using a clock which has been phase-shifted from the desired clock
timing to sample the baseband signal, and by obtaining the optimum phase from the
sampled signal obtained as a result. A clock-timing recovery circuit according to this
invention does not require oversampling and provides easy optimisation of circuit
constants.

Abstract: A pucker free garment seam providing a garment with a tailored and wrinkle
free appearance. The pucker free seam and method for production utilizes a bonding
strip which contains at least a thermal adhesive component which is inserted between
opposing surfaces of a garment component along the seam. A sufficient amount of
heat and pressure is applied to the seam which causes the adhesive of the bonding strip
to flow onto the surfaces of the garment component thereby creating a compressed
seam and permanently bonding the surfaces of the garment component together along
the seam to eliminate puckering associated with shrinkage of sewing thread at the
seam.

Abstract: An integrated micro-electromechanical (MEM) optical
resonator comprises a cantilever beam which is fixed to a
substrate at one end and extends freely over the
substrate at the other end, and a bimorph actuator
stacked atop the beam at its fixed end. A reflective
surface partially covers the top of the beam at its free
end. The bimorph actuator comprises material layers
having different thermal expansion coefficients. A DC-biased
AC voltage connected across the actuator causes it
to heat and cool as the current passing through it
increases and decreases, creating a thermal bimorph
effect which causes the cantilever beam and the
reflective surface to oscillate in accordance with the
varying current, preferably at the beam and actuator
structure's fundamental resonant frequency. Combining
the resonator with a light source and actuator excitation
circuitry creates an optical scanner engine which
delivers a scan angle in excess of 20 degrees and a scan
rate of up to 2000 Hz, using a driving voltage of only 2
V p-p.
