Patent EP-1284471-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TOJI BUNPEI
IPC: H04N9/12
Filed: 2002-07-16
Abstract: A three-times magnified pattern of a central target pixel and horizontally contiguously
adjacent sub-pixel patterns next thereto are determined on the basis of a reference pattern that has a
rectangular profile and further that consist of eight-neighboring pixel about the target pixel. The
determined three-times magnified pattern is allocated to three sub-pixels that form the target pixel.
The determined sub-pixel patterns are allocated to horizontally adjacent sub-pixels next to the
target pixel. As a result, a black area defined by the target pixel is displaced rightward by an amount
of a sub-pixel without any change in black area size that corresponds to three sub-pixels. This
feature inhibits a variation in output image density, which otherwise would conspicuously occurs
as a result of a varied object line width.

Inventor: LIU JOE CHUI PONG
IPC: G06F1/30
Filed: 2002-08-17
Abstract: An apparatus for reducing electromagnetic interference due to common mode
current in power converters is disclosed. Common mode current flowing through
high parasitic capacitance on the load side typically contributes significantly to
the electromagnetic interference. In order to reduce the electromagnetic
interference the common mode current is reduced by reducing the voltage
driving a current through the high parasitic capacitance. A counter-acting voltage
source produces a voltage out of phase with the voltage driving the common
mode current. Such a counter-acting voltage is obtained with the aid of a
winding coupled to the magnetic component in the power converter or by one or
more active components. The counter-acting voltage source is connected in
series with a capacitance element connected between the input and output sides
of the converter-input terminal and output terminal when electrical isolation
between the input and the output is desired.

Abstract: A transparent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which
combines transparency and high temperature adhesive properties. The transparent
pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains a polymer of one or more
acrylic-based monomers and an organophilic layered clay mineral dispersed therein,
wherein part of the polymer has been intercalated between layers of the clay mineral to
cause interlayer separation and the clay mineral has a layer-to-layer distance of 100 Å
or longer. It is produced by a process which includes: mixing 100 parts by weight of
the monomers with 10 to 150 parts by weight of an organophilic layered clay mineral
and 0.005 to 5 parts by weight of a polymerization initiator together with an organic
solvent; exerting an external action on this mixture to thereby intercalate part of the
monomers, polymerization initiator, and organic solvent into interstices of the
organophilic layered clay mineral; subsequently removing the solvent; and then
polymerizing the monomers.

Abstract: Compositions comprising (A) non-branched polybutadiene having terminal hydroxyl functionality less than 2 per molecule by average; and (B) branched polybutadiene having terminal hydroxyl functionality more than 2 per molecule by average; the weight ratio of (A) to (B) being about 99:1 to 1:99. These compositions are reacted with organic polyisocyanates to form prepolymers which are cured by reaction with a chain extender such as a diol to produce cured resins which exhibit unexpectedly improved tear strength properties and thermoplasticity with high modulus, and improved tackiness and shelf life for hot melt adhesives. The prepolymers have lower viscosity and better storage stability as compared with those from conventional branched polybutadienes of the (B) type. Alternatively, the compositions can be cured directly in a one-shot reaction with diisocyanates to form a polyurethane with the described combination of properties. In addition, the compositions of (A) and (B) can be reacted to form polybutadienes with carboxyl, amine or epoxy-terminal functionality with are useful components of formulations.

Abstract: A method for determining an aliphatic aldehyde based on the reaction
with MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazine, CAS
4338-98-1) and the intermediate formation of an azine. The azine reacts
in a second reaction with oxidised MBTH to form an intensely blue
colored formazan. Ferric chloride is used as oxidant. 
     The end color might be different depending upon the order of addition
of the reactants. If the oxidising agent and the MBTH are mixed before
adding the aldehyde, a light green to green/blue is observed.

Abstract: A method for dispersing a pigment in an aqueous solution is provided. The
method comprises: (a) providing the pigment, which is distinguished in having an azo
group and either a β-diketo structure or a hydroxyl group, each conjugatively
associated with the azo group; (b) treating a surface of the pigment with a base having
sufficient strength (e.g., a pK a  of at least 6) to generate a negative charge on the
pigment; and (c) reacting the negatively charged pigment with either (1) a first
hydrophilic molecule containing at least one functional group comprising a carbon-carbon
double bond and a carbonyl that is alpha to the carbon-carbon double bond
which reacts via addition to form a hydrophilic group on the pigment or (2) a second
hydrophilic molecule containing at least one functional group selected from the group
consisting of anionic functional groups, cationic functional groups, and zwitterionic
functional groups and at least one suitable leaving group which reacts via substitution to
form a hydrophilic group on the pigment. The treated pigment is rendered
comparatively soluble in water-based inks, thereby eliminating the need for any
dispersant to disperse the pigment.

Abstract: A low-noise amplifier for radio frequency signals uses the magnitude of the input
signal to adjust the output current of a current source if the input signal magnitude
exceeds a predetermined value. The current source provides operating current to the
low-noise amplifier. Compensation for gain reduction due to large input signal
magnitude is therefore achieved by increasing the gain of the low noise amplifier in such
situations by increased operating current. As a result, power consumption savings and
better linearization are achieved, especially for such low-noise amplifiers used in mobile
receivers.

Abstract: System and method for compensating for DS0 timing
source transients, such as may occur during a switchover to
a new external reference, is described. In one embodiment,
an SFI control signal is monitored for embedded frame
position information. When the frame position information
is initially detected, a 10-bit frame clock counter is
reset to zero. The counter is then incremented using an
8.192 MHz clock. From that point on, each time the SFI
frame position information is detected, the value of the
frame clock counter is checked. If the counter value is
zero, the counter continues to run freely. If the counter
value is non-zero and the most significant bit ("MSB")
thereof is zero, the count of the frame clock counter is
held for one clock period. If the counter value is non-zero
and the MSB thereof is one, the count of the frame clock
counter is advanced by a value of two, rather than one, for
one clock period.

Abstract: A tool for designing an integrated circuit and semiconductor product that generates
correct RTL for I/O buffer structures in consideration of the requirements of diffused
configurable I/O blocks and/or I/O hardmacs of the product. Given either a slice
description of a partially manufactured semiconductor product, a designer can generate the
I/O resources of an application set. Then given an application set having a transistor fabric,
and the diffused configurable I/O blocks and/or the I/O hardmacs, and a plurality of
accompanying shells, the I/O generation tool herein automatically reads a database having
the slice description and generates the I/O buffer structures from the transistor fabric. The
I/O generation tool further conditions and integrates input from either or both customer
having her/his own logic and requesting a specific semiconductor product or from IP cores
with their preestablished logic. The I/O generation tool creates correct RTL from the
transistor fabric for correct placement, timing, testing, and function of I/O buffer amplifiers
for the semiconductor product, either incrementally or globally. Once I/O buffer structures
are created, they are qualified by a plurality of shells including a verification shell, a static
timing analysis shell, a manufacturing test shell, and a RTL analysis shell.
