Patent EP-0749117-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TSUTSUI KEIICHI
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1996-06-14
Abstract: Information is recorded or reproduced accurately onto or from any of a plurality of record layers of an optical disk. In a recording and/or reproduction method, after an optical disk is started (S1), an optimum focus offset position for a predetermined record layer of the optical disk is searched for (S2). This searching is performed by varying an offset value stepwise and searching for an offset value with which the amplitude of a tracking error signal exhibits a maximum value. After an optimum focus offset position is searched out, the value of it is stored (S3). Similar processing is performed also for any other record layer. When an instruction to reproduce a predetermined record layer is developed (S8), focus jumping to the record layer is performed (S9). Then, an optimum focus offset value searched out and stored in advance is read out (S10) and added to a focus error signal. 
     Recording and/or reproducing apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a CATV network, there is described a method for providing an audio programming guide in which a subscriber's television is utilised as the preferred graphical interface to simultaneously provide channel in-band and out-of-band program information to a subscriber. A subscriber may tune, view and select from among a plurality of digital audio channels and analog video channels. In-band and out-of-band information is integrated into a multi-page program guide displayed on a subscriber's television. This integration permits subscribers to visually scan and view information about currently playing selections available on other channels without having to switch to them. While listening to a music selection, the subscriber may navigate through the program guide. Program information such as the title of a song, artist and record label are also displayed. A CATV settop terminal incorporating such an audio programming guide is also disclosed.

Title: Procede d'attaque d'ebauches en cristal de quartz produites par un procede photolithographique, en vue de leur separation
Inventor: HAAS KEVIN L
IPC: H01L21/301
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'attaque (200) d'ébauches en cristal de quartz produites par un procédé photolithographique, en vue de leur séparation. Dans la première étape, une tranche de quartz reçoit, sur les deux côtés, d'abord un revêtement métallique et ensuite une couche de vernis photosensible (202). Dans la seconde étape, le vernis photosensible est exposé à la lumière suivant un motif et il est développé et les couches métalliques sont soumises à une attaque de façon que la périphérie de l'ébauche en quartz soit délimitée par un étroit canal formé dans le quartz entre l'ébauche à séparer et la tranche de quartz de départ (204). Dans la troisième étape, le canal formé dans le quartz est soumis à une attaque partielle se faisant suivant des plans atomiques parallèles de la tranche, de façon qu'une ligne de moindre résistance soit formée entre la tranche de quartz et l'ébauche à séparer, alors que la périphérie autour du restant de l'ébauche en quartz est soumise a une attaque sur toute l'épaisseur de la tranche de quartz de départ (206). Dans la quatrième étape, les couches de vernis photosensible sont enlevées de la tranche de quartz (208). Dans la dernière étape, l'ébauche en quartz est séparée sensiblement suivant le fond du canal formé dans le quartz pour séparer l'ébauche en cristal de la tranche (210).

Title: Process and device for treating holes or recesses in workpieces with liquid treatment agents
Inventor: DURST FRANZ
IPC: H05K3/00
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: The treatment, for example the cleaning of holes or recesses in workpieces, is problematic when the holes or recesses have an opening width of below 0.5 mm, and especially when the latter do not penetrate the workpiece (blind bores). In known methods, gas bubbles adhering to the side-walls of holes of this type cannot be removed or liquids situated within the holes cannot be effectively exchanged.With the method according to the invention an effective exchange of the liquid contained in the holes and situated outwith the holes is made possible. For this purpose the liquid treatment means is sprayed as a jet into the holes, said jet having a diameter which is smaller than that of the holes.Furthermore, a device is described for carrying out this method which is characterised by a nozzle with one or several nozzle discharge openings with a diameter below 0.5 mm, by a liquid supply unit by means of which liquid treatment medium is pumped through the nozzle discharge openings and by a filter unit, communicating with the openings and the feeder unit, for removing particles from the treatment medium.

Abstract: An ECC encoder (6) adds sync patterns to a preamble part
and a data part in respectively different sequences. A
modulator (7) modulates data to which sync patterns have been
added by the ECC encoder (6), and the result is recorded on
an optical disk (10). The playback RF signal output by the
optical disk (10) is demodulated by a demodulator (12), and the sync
patterns inserted in the signal are detected. From the
combinations of detected sync patterns, the demodulator
(12) identifies whether a currently reproduced frame is the
preamble part or the data part, and from the
identification result, playback data is sequentially
stored in a predetermined area of a SRAM (13). It is thus
performed to identify a preamble part from a reproduced
RF signal, and accurately extract one block of data.

rear wheels is sensed electronically by a control that
includes sensors 50, 52 and is used to move the drive and
driven members axially between the first and second
relative positions in dependence upon the determined
presence or absence of slipping of the driven wheels.

Abstract: Row redundancy control circuits which
effectively reduce design space are arranged parallel
to word direction and are arranged at the bottom of
the redundancy block. This architecture change makes
it possible to effectively lay out the redundancy
control block by introducing (1) split-global-bus
shared with local row redundancy wires, (2) half-length-one-way
row redundancy-wordline-enable-signal
wires which allows space saving, and (3) distributed
wordline enable decoders designed to take advantage
of the saved space. An illegal normal/redundancy
access problem caused by the address versus timing
skew has also been solved. The timing necessary for
this detection is given locally by using its adjacent
redundancy match detection. This allows the circuit
to operate completely as an address driven circuit,
resulting in fast and reliable redundancy match
detection. In addition, a sample wordline enable
signal (SWLE) is generated by using row redundancy
match detection. One two-input OR gate allows the
time at which SWLE sets sample wordline (SWL) to be
the same as the time at which wordline enable (WLE)
signal sets wordline (WL). The time at which SWLE
sets SWL remains consistent regardless of mode,
eliminating the existing reliability concern. This
two-input OR gate combined with row redundancy match
detection works as an ideal sample wordline enable
generator.
