Title: Grounding of high-frequency electronic apparatus
Inventor: MINOBE TOSHIHARU
IPC: H05K3/40
Filed: 1997-05-28
Abstract: In order to connect leads of an IC(5)and electrodes of a chip component (6) to be grounded, to a metal case (3) with a low impedance and to obtain a shield between electronic components, a metallic conductor (24) is provided at one surface of a printed circuit board. The metallic conductor is electrically connected to the metal case and is connected to the ground leads (9) of the electronic components (5,6) mounted on the front surface of the board. The metallic conductor may be either a metal plate having protrusions which project through holes in the board, or a coating of e.g copper foil, which is connected to the component leads via conductive pins. The ground plane may be shaped to provide a space for a further component attached to the same side of the board, e.g a coil (Fig.3, not shown).

Abstract: The manufacture of steel, in the form of rod, bar or strip, from the molten metal to the final rolled product comprising a casting process and a rolling process coupled together with a balanced mass flow rate, is characterised by the rolling process including a first rolling stage followed by a second rolling stage, and by a temperature controlling stage arranged between the first and second rolling stages, which comprises a first state in which it operates to prepare the steel for rolling in the austenitic phase, and an alternative second state in which the temperature controlling stage operates to prepare the steel for rolling in the ferritic phase, said temperature controlling stage being selectively operable between the first state and the second state, such that the steel passes through the same subsequent second rolling stage, correspondingly in the austenitic phase or alternatively the ferritic phase. The temperature controlling means may comprises a heat retaining means which, in the first state encloses the steel to retain heat therein, and is openable to form the second state, in which the steel is exposed to the surrounding cooling air. Alternatively, it may comprises a heat providing or retaining means and a separate heat removing or cooling means arranged either in parallel with the selected temperature control means, being arranged in-line or in series, on-line. The first and second rolling stages each comprise between one and six rolling stands. As illustrated the temperature controlling stage operates as a heating/homogenisation function 11b or a cooling function 11a.

Title: Forming contacts on semiconductor substrates for radiation detectors and imaging devices using two photoresist layers
Inventor: SPARTIOTIS KONSTANTINOS EVANGE
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A method, suitable for forming metal contacts 31 on a semiconductor substrate 1 at positions for defining radiation detector cells, includes the steps of forming one or more layers of material 11,12 on a surface of the substrate with openings 23 to the substrate surface at the contact positions; forming a layer of metal 24 over a second layer of photoresist material and the openings; and removing metal at 28 overlying the layer(s) of material to separate individual contacts.

The personal identification code transmitted by the anonymous caller is received by the call routing and handling system, and test result information associated with the specimen previously provided to the medical testing laboratory by the anonymous caller is retrieved based on the personal identification code previously received. A call handler for processing the telephone call is selected in response to the test result information. The selected call handler is chosen from a plurality of candidate call handlers. The telephone call is then routed to the selected call handler and test result information corresponding to the personal identification code previously received is provided to the anonymous caller by the selected call handler.
