IPC: H01L21/82
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: Un système de calcul (74) destiné à la mise en oeuvre d'au moins un circuit électronique possédant un gain donné, comprend au moins une matrice de commutation moléculaire bidimensionnelle (50, 120). Cette matrice de commutation moléculaire bidimensionnelle (50, 120) est formée selon un procédé consistant à assembler au moins deux plans croisés de fils (10) pour obtenir une configuration de dispositifs. Chaque dispositif comprend une jonction (16) composée d'une paire de fils croisés (20, 22) et d'au moins un type de connecteur (24) reliant la paire de fils croisés (20, 22) au niveau de la jonction (16). La jonction (16) a une dimension fonctionnelle de l'ordre du nanomètre et possède une fonction de commutation fournie par un ou plusieurs types de connecteurs (24) et la paire de fils croisés (20, 22) et un transistor à fil nanométrique configurable à deux états : un premier état dans lequel il sert de transistor (38) et un second état dans lequel il sert de fil semi-conducteur (44). Des connexions spécifiques sont faites pour interconnecter les dispositifs et connecter les dispositifs à deux structures (60, 62, 130, 132) fournissant des tensions élevées et basses.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de mesure de la tension superficielle d'un échantillon, consistant tout d'abord à utiliser une plaque à puits comportant au moins un puits défini par des parois et une ouverture, formant un espace conçu pour recevoir l'échantillon à tester, puis à mettre une sonde en contact avec la surface de l'échantillon contenu dans le puits, et, ensuite, à mesurer la force appliquée sur la sonde par l'échantillon. Ce procédé se caractérise, d'une part, par le fait que les parois du puits sont inclinées par rapport au plan défini par l'ouverture du puits de façon que la section transversale du puits soit de plus en plus petite entre l'ouverture et le fond du puits pour que le ménisque de l'échantillon contenu dans le puits soit de forme plane ou convexe, et, d'autre part, par le fait qu'au moins la surface de la paroi du puits face à l'espace prévu pour l'échantillon comprend un matériau antistatique. Le procédé consiste enfin à utiliser un moyen servant à dissiper l'électricité statique du puits. L'invention concerne également une plaque à puits destinée à être utilisée dans ce procédé.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for controlling an automatic transmission. In a method for controlling a motor (3)-driven automatic transmission (3), the automatic transmission (3) receives torque demand information, the torque effectively supplied (Cm) by the motor (2) not matching the torque demanded. After a rapid variation in the torque demand (Acc), no ratio shift is authorised until a pre-determined stabilisation time period (Ds) has passed. The invention also relates to the system implementing the inventive method.

Abstract: A voice transmission device has a tandem pass through function in an STM, ATM, IP network, and a noise canceller (21) is provided at a latter stage of an echo canceller (12) in a coding part, and in a case where a multistage connection state does not occur, noise removal is performed to carry out efficient coding, and in a case where a relay is performed in the multistage connection state, switching is performed to stop the operation of the noise canceller (21), and voice deterioration by redundant decoding and coding is prevented, and therefore, even in a cellular phone having no noise cancel function, or the like, and at both a normal time and a time of a tandem pass through state, high quality voice transmission can be performed, and further, since an unvoiced portion in voice data is increased by removing a noise component, a portion subjected to coding becomes small, and transmission amount of the line is reduced.

IPC: A61M25/01

Abstract: A composite guidewire 10 includes a central core 12
that is made out of a "linear elastic" material, which
at body temperature does not exhibit a yield point
and/or change phase when subjected to the range of
stresses that are common to guidewires. A core
extension 30, which is made out of stiffer material,
such as stainless steel, attaches to the central core
through a coupling tube, which may be made of super
elastic material, linear elastic material, or stainless
steel. The coupling tube 16 fits over a tapered distal
end of the core extension and a proximal end of the
central core that may but need not be tapered. The
proximal end of the coupling tube abuts the tapered
section of the core extension where the section has an
outer diameter that is approximately the same size as
the inner diameter of the coupling tube, and the tube is
thus held against axial movement. The space between the
inner diameter of the coupling tube and the ends that
fit within the tube are filled with an adhesive, to
create a strong yet flexible joint that transmits
considerable torque without failure. An elongated coil
18, which may be radiopaque, fits over the distal
portion of the central core. The coil may attach at a
proximal end to the distal end of the coupling tube by,
for example, adhesive, brazing or welding, such that the
coil and the coupling tube provide support for the
linear elastic core along the entire length of the core.
The coil may instead extend over the coupling tube, such
that the coil attaches to the distal end of the core
extension. A shaping ribbon 20 which is made of
bendable material, such as, for example, stainless
steel, is attached to a distal portion of the central
core and extends beyond the end of the core, to provide 
a shapeable distal end to the guidewire. An atraumatic
tip 26 fits over the end of the guidewire and attaches
to the coil and the shaping ribbon by brazing, welding
or adhesive, to provide a cushioned end to the
guidewire. As appropriate, a relatively short
radiopaque outer coil may be positioned over the
elongated coil, to provide visibility to the distal end
of the guidewire.

transferred to the first memory block. Data to be written is
written to the second memory block. Therefore, it is possible
to increase the number of times of rewriting in the flash memory.

Abstract: A surface treatment laser beam delivery and tracking system. The laser
(500) generates laser light (502) along a path at an energy level suitable for
treating a surface. An optical translator (520) shifts the path onto a resulting beam
path. An optical angle adjuster (310, 316, 320, 326) changes the angle of the
resulting beam path relative to the original path such that the laser light is incident
on the surface to be treated. A motion sensor (100) transmits light energy (101-T)
to the surface and receives reflected light energy (101-R) from the surface via the
optical angle adjuster. The light energy travels on a parallel path to the shifted
beam through the optical angle adjuster. The motion sensor detects movement of
the surface relative to the original path and generates error control signals
indicative of the movement. The optical angle adjuster responds to the error
control signals to change the angle of the resulting beam path.

Abstract: The invention addresses a method for optimizing
transmit and receive ultrasound pulses, particularly
for ultrasonic imaging, wherein transmit pulses are
generated from ultrasonic pulse contributions of each
of a plurality of electroacoustic transducers, which
are grouped in an array and are individually energized
by electric excitation signals, an excitation signal
being applied to each individual transducer of the
array with a predetermined delay with respect to the
application of the excitation signal to the other
transducers, and a weight being applied to the
excitation signal of each transducer for
increasing/decreasing the amplitude of the excitation
signal and, as a result, of the acoustic signal
generated by the transducer. The invention envisages to
optimize at least the amplitude weights of the
individual transducers' contributions, by defining an
energy function and by minimizing it. By using
stochastic or evolutionary algorithms, the minimization
of the energy function provides a weight vector for the
contributions of the individual transducers, which
leads to transmit or receive pulses having a
predetermined minimum distance from desired pulses. As
described regarding transmission, optimization may be
also applied to reception. Here at least the amplitude
weights of receive signal contributions to the
comprehensive signal are optimized. The aim is to
generate and receive ultrasonic pulses which have an
optimal mechanical pressure and beam pattern profile 
with respect to the propagation depth within the body
under examination.
