Title: Ultrasonic flowmeter
Inventor: HUANG SONGMING
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: To measure flow rates of multi-phase flows in metal pipes, transceiver means (30) generates a pulsed narrow band ultrasonic signal in the range 100 KHz to 10 MHz and an impedance matching device (50) is coupled to the pipe to reduce or prevent reflections of the pulsed signal occurring from the pipe wall. Signal processing means analyses the reflected signals received by the transceiver means (30) and calculates the energy in the Doppler shifted part. The pulsed signal generates an ultrasonic shear wave in the pipe wall which assists in the analysis. The impedance matching device (50) comprises a sound absorbing block of plastics material with embedded tungsten particles. A probe that is shaped to fit the pipe wall contains the transceiver (50) which is coupled by an impedance matching layer (44) to a transmission path rod (36) within the block (50).

Title: Allocating costs between an information service provider and terminal users
Inventor: NISHIMURA KATSUNORI
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: In an accounting system, a user 1, by the use of a terminal 2, transmits a transmission packet P1 to a reception destination 3 that is a server of an information service provider, and receives a reception packet P2 therefrom by way of a packet communication network 4. An accounting apparatus 6 receives a count of transmitted and received packets 51 from an exchange 5, and also receives accounting amendment information 71 from an accounting amendment apparatus 7 at appropriate timing. The accounting apparatus 6 thereby decides the account fees for the user 1 of the terminal 2 and for the reception destination 3. The information service provider is thereby charged for a portion of the transmitted and received packets 51. The invention has an application in circumstances when a service provider wishes to display advertisements on their website without charging their subscribers for downloading them. Also in portable terminals connected to the Internet via mobile telephone links, where a service provider may be prepared to subsidise the cost of downloading data. The division of cost of packet transfer may be decided on the basis of information source, kind of information (e.g. music, video) use of information (e.g. advertising), distribution protocol (e.g. e-mail). Information type may be recognised from a file extension (e.g. tif, exe).

Title: Method to increase the conversion gain of an active pixel
Inventor: SCHEFFER DANNY
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: The invention relates to increasing the conversion gain in active pixels, for MOS or CMOS based semiconductor array detectors of electromagnetic radiation. A p-type semiconductor layer 5 has n-type region 1 forming a photodiode junction which collects charges generated by radiation, and n-type region 2, forming a junction which is part of readout circuitry, receives the collected charge carriers. P-type region 3, more heavily doped than layer 5 forms a barrier to impede diffusion of charge carriers from layer 5 to region 2. Region 1 is separated from region 3 (separation D1) by a zone of the layer 5 which has a charge carrier diffusion layer touching the surface 7 of semiconductor layer. Depletion region 9 does not extend to region 3 at the surface 7, reducing the photodiode node capacitance and increasing the charge to voltage conversion. In some embodiments an n-type region 4 at least partially overlaps the first region, and is separated over part of its boundary from the third region by a zone of the semiconductor layer which touches the surface 7.
