which has a data track (20) having a first area (24),
which is provided for markings (25) arranged centred with
respect to the centre (26) of the data track (20), and at
least one further area (27, 27', 27''), which is provided
for markings (25) arranged laterally offset with regard
to the centre (26) of the data track (20). Corresponding
devices have detection means (5), track error detector
(7), signal shaping means (8), and correction signal
generation means (15). The object of the present
invention is to propose a device of the generic type in
which an accurate correction signal (KORR) for the track
error signal (TE) can be obtained without a high outlay,
and also a method for generating a corresponding
correction signal (KORR). This object is achieved

shaping means (8) has an averaging unit (13), whose
output is connected to an input of the correction signal
generation means (15). The invention can be employed
preferably in CD players, CD recorders, DVD reproduction
and recording devices and the like.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire in which a sipe, which is substantially
parallel to a contour line of a trailing edge of a ground-contact
configuration, is formed in a trailing edge region of each block at
shoulder sides of the pneumatic tire. From a time of step-in to a
time of kick-out of a block, the effect of shearing strain which is
transmitted to a trailing edge from a preceding trailing edge
portion is mitigated, and movement of the trailing edge of the
block with respect to a road surface is suppressed. Accordingly,
wear at the trailing edge of the block, i.e., heel-and-toe wear, is
suppressed, and noise caused by heel-and-toe wear is reduced.

Abstract: A hybrid inflator for an inflatable safety system is
provided. The hybrid inflator is configured to provide for
efficient mixing of hot combustion gases from combustion of
the propellant and other combustible materials with the
cooler pressurised medium in the stored gas housing. The
mixing of the combustion gases and the pressurised medium
provides an output gas having a substantially uniform
composition and temperature. The mixing means (122) define
an outlet path for said inflation gases from the inflator (54) and the
propellant gas generator (66) to the outlet (78) to promote mixing of
the inflation gases, said outlet path defining a first direction and a
second direction which is different to said first direction in which
inflation gases move.

IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: A probe beam is used to sample the waveform on an IC device under test (DUT) during
each cycle of a test pattern applied to the DUT. A reference laser beam is also used to
sample the DUT. For each cycle of the test pattern, the reference and probe beams
sample the DUT at the same physical location, but at displaced times with respect to each
other. Each reference measurement is made at a fixed time relative to the test pattern
while the probe measurements are scanned through the test-pattern time portion of
interest, in the manner normal to equivalent time sampling, to reconstruct the waveform.
For each test cycle, the ratio of these two measurements is taken. The fluctuations of
these ratios due to noise is greatly reduced as compared to fluctuations of the probe
measurements taken alone. Thus, a smaller number of averages is required to reconstruct
the waveform.

Abstract: A wafer flattening process designed to flatten
the entire surface of the wafer to a higher precision
by projecting the fall in the etching rate at the
outer peripheral portion of the wafer and forming the
outer peripheral portion of the wafer thinner in
advance before plasma etching the entire surface of
the wafer, a wafer flattening system, and a wafer
flattened by the same. The wafer flattening system is
provided with a CMP apparatus 1 and a plasma etching
apparatus 2 are provided. The outer peripheral portion
Wb of a wafer W held by a carrier (11) is polished
thinner than an inside portion Wc of the wafer W by
the CMP apparatus 1 having a platen (10) formed with a
recessed surface. Specifically, it is polished so
that the maximum thickness at the outer peripheral
portion Wb of the wafer W becomes not more than the
minimum thickness at the inside portion Wc. Suitably
thereafter, the plasma etching apparatus 2 locally
etches the surface Wa of the wafer W to obtain a wafer
W with a high flatness without any projecting portion
at the outer peripheral portion Wb.

Abstract: A two-stage venting on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) valve (30) for
controlling fuel tank venting to a storage canister during tank filling. A float actuated
poppet (42) has a small second stage venting hole (78) therethrough. The poppet (42) is mounted for
relative movement with respect to a second stage vent valve member (44) disposed on the
float. During tank filling, venting is through a first stage relatively large flow area
passage until rising fuel level causes the poppet to close the first stage vent flow area.
Venting during continued filling is through the second stage venting hole (78) in the poppet.
After first stage valve closure relative movement or lost motion occurs between the first
and second stage valve members. The poppet has an integrally molded annular resiliently
flexible seal (70) thereon which has a first stage annular sealing surface (72) formed on one side of
the poppet for sealing the first stage flow area, and a second stage annular sealing surface (74)
about the poppet hole on the opposite side of the poppet for sealing the second stage vent
flow area and closing the vent passage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a means to support new and modified
platforms without the need to modify the system software kernel. The
invention uses an approach referred to as Platform Service Agents (PSAs). The
PSA works with the bus manager of the system software for that platform
variant and modifies the system resources as needed. The PSA isolates specifics
of the platform, so that the bus manager need not be modified. Because the
PSAs themselves are outside of the kernel, are downloadable, and easily created
for platform variants, new platforms can be supported without modification or
re-release of the system software kernel.

Abstract: Each remote station in a wireless network cell that uses a collision oriented
multiple access scheme, counts the number of retries attempted to gain access to the base
station for a particular message. The accumulated value of the number of retries is then
inserted in a retry count field of the access request message. After one or more retries,
the base station successfully receives the access request message. The base station runs a
common access channel allocation manager program that adaptively provides additional
channels to the remote station, depending on the number of retries the remote station
required to successfully transmit the access request message. In this manner, the base
station has accurate information about the reduced performance that the remote stations
suffer during an interval of high usage, to enable the base station to adaptively provide
additional channels to the remote stations.
