to store electrical energy, first and second switching
devices (11,14), means for charging the storage means (3)
and means for switching each of the switching devices
(21,22,23) such that charge on the storage means is

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal clad
laminate for printed circuit board, characterized by direct adhesion of a conductive
metal foil without use of a thermosetting resin having low melting points, an adherent
film or an adhesive. The method includes forming fine protrusions on at least one
surface of a fluorine-based resin insulation layer, roughening one surface of a
conductive metal foil, laminating the fluorine-based resin insulation layer having fine
protrusions on the roughened metal foil so that the roughened surface of the metal foil
and the protrusion-formed surface of the insulation layer face each other to form a
laminated body, and compressing the laminated body under vacuum, pressure and heat.
The method of manufacturing the metal clad laminate by directly adhering the
conductive metal foil with a single dielectric structure has advantages in terms of lower
manufacturing costs compared to conventional dual dielectric structures, and very
stable operation of the metal clad laminate in high frequency regions due to minimized
variations of electrical and mechanical properties. Thus, the present method is effective
in manufacturing the printed circuit board usable in the high frequency regions.

Abstract: An asymmetric cladded conductor structure for a magnetic field sensitive
memory cell  10  is disclosed. One or both of the conductors ( 11, 15 ) that cross the
memory cell  10  can include an asymmetric cladding  (13,17)  that covers a top surface
( 11t, 15t ) and only a portion of the opposed side surfaces ( 11s, 15s ) of the conductors
( 11, 15 ) such that the cladding ( 13, 17 ) on the opposed side surfaces ( 11s, 15s ) is
recessed along those opposed side surfaces ( 11s, 15s ) in a direction away from a
data layer  2  of the memory cell  10.  The cladding ( 13,17 ) is recessed by an offset
distance ( D1, D2  or  T1 ,  T2 ). The asymmetric cladding ( 13, 17 ) increases a reluctance
 R g    of a closed magnetic path with a resulting decrease in magnetic coupling with the
data layer  2.  An aspect ratio  A R    of the memory cell  10  can be reduced thereby
increasing areal density.

Abstract: A method of automatically monitoring text-based communications of one or more chat room or instant messaging participants to determine if a monitoring event has occurred. On-line communications (210) are continually monitored and input to a number of pattern recognizing modules (230), preferably working in parallel. Using known pattern-recognition techniques, each pattern recognizing module can analyze an aspect of the communications by implementing certain algorithms and, as appropriate, set, increase or decrease the values of state variables descriptive of defined attributes of the online communications. Such state variables can reflect, for example, emotional levels, participant turnover frequencies, use of suspicious word patterns, and other metrics regarding the on-line communications. State variables out put form the various pattern recognizing modules can be simultaneously input to a decision module (240) which can launch one or more decision algorithms. The decision module can then output one or more predetermined actions (280) as determined by the decision algorithms.
