Title: Apparatus for filling tubes
IPC: B67C3/02
Filed: 1990-02-19
Abstract: An apparatus (10) comprises a conveyor 
system 11 for conveying tubes (12), having respective 
self-sealing closure means, sequentially to a station 
whereupon the conveyor system (11) is temporarily 
halted. At the station, a clamping means (13) having a 
clamp (13a) lowers to prevent movement of the tube 
(12a). An arm (19) moves in the direction of the tube 
(12a) to enable a hollow needle (17) to penetrate the 
closure means (30) of the tube (12a). A metering means 
(15) enables a predetermined volume of a fluid, preferab­
ly liquid agar, to be introduced into the tube (12a). 
Following release of the needle (17) from the closure 
means (30), the conveyor systems moves to enable another 
tube (12b) to arrive at the station.

Abstract: A double-layered liquid-crystal display apparatus 
comprises a first liquid-crystal layer (7) for voltage 
application to electrodes (2a, 2b) for display and a 
second liquid-crystal layer (8) within any such 
electrodes. The direction of orientation of the liquid-­

Title: Liquid crystal display device.
Inventor: OKADA SHINJIRO
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 1993-10-18
Abstract: A liquid crystal display device is constituted by a pair of electrode plates each having a plurality of elongated electrodes, and a layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the electrode plates so as to form a pixel at each intersection of elongated electrodes disposed respectively on the pair of electrodes plates. At least one electrode plate is provided with an unevenness at each pixel so as to form a cell thickness gradient ( alpha 1 alpha 2), within each pixel, and at least one electrode plate is provided with at least three types of color filters each corresponding to a pixel. Further, each color filter and/or each pixel (R,G,B) is set to have an area and/or a shape varying depending on a local cell thickness so that light quantities or sensible light quantities transmitted through the respective filters and the liquid crystal layer are identical to each other regardless of the type of color filter. A similar pixel pattern deformation is effective for providing a linear T (transmittance) - log V (voltage) characteristic. Color pixels pattern deformation may preferably be effected in a complementary manner with respect to different colors.

Title: Multistage optical packet distribution network with bypass.
Inventor: CLOONAN THOMAS JAY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1993-09-22
Abstract: A low blocking packet distribution network (23) which is implemented in optics has both switch links and chute links, and the network nodes (e.g.30) include both a switching means (40) interconnecting successive stage switch links and a plurality of non-switching, chute connection means (50) interconnecting successive stage chute links. A network node can transfer a packet, being received on a switch link, to any selected one of the chute connection means of that node for transmission on a chute link. The network nodes are relatively simple and inexpensive because they store only the first few bits needed to route an ATM cell. The blocking probability is further reduced when the number of chutes per node is increased. The number of chutes may be based, for example, on the number of switch link inputs per node. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process comprising removing surface layer materials from the
wafer by inducing micro-fractures in the surface using a rotating pad and
an abrasive slurry until all of the surface layer materials are removed; and
chemically etching the surfaces of the wafer until all micro-fractures are
removed therefrom. Edge materials are removed by abrasive tape.
Wafer thickness reduction during recycling is less than 30 microns per

pressure of the pad against the wafer surface preferably does not exceed
about 3 psi. Preferably, the chemical etching solution contains
potassium hydroxide. An acidic solution can then be applied to the
wafer surface. The reclaimed silicon wafer has a matted side having
etch pits which does not exceed 20 microns in width, an average
roughness not exceeding 0.5 microns and a peak-to-valley roughness not
exceeding 5 microns. Any laser markings from the original wafer are

Abstract: An interface circuit is provided for implementing
zero-byte substitution (ZBS) in a channel unit or line card
which couples a digital subscriber line, such as a basic or
primary rate Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
line, to a T1 network or other digital transmission
facility. On the transmit side, the occurrence of an all-zero
data byte in a B channel of the ISDN interface causes
a corresponding zero byte indicator (ZBI) flag to be
produced in the D+ channel, and also causes the all-zero
byte to be replaced by the preceding non-zero data byte
rather than by a prescribed or predetermined data byte. On
the receive side, the occurrence of a repeated data byte in
a B channel is detected and causes the current data byte to
be replaced by an all-zero byte to restore the original
data. The ZBI flag is then used as an error check bit to
verify that the reinsertion of the all-zero byte was
correct.

Filed: 1996-10-10
Abstract: A surface mode liquid crystal device is made by forming a cell (1)
containing a mixture of a liquid crystal (7) and a pre-polymer. An
electric field is applied across the cell (1) to arrange the liquid crystal (7)
in a predetermined surface mode state, such as the V state in the case of
a pi-cell configuration. The liquid crystal (7) is held in this state by the
field while the pre-polymer is polymerised or cross-linked, for instance
by ultraviolet irradiation. The electric field is then removed. The
polymer stabilises the predetermined surface mode state, for instance
preventing relaxation of the V state to the twist or splay state in the pi-cell
configuration.
