Abstract: A wafer inspecting apparatus inspects the electric
characteristics of IC chips of a wafer W. The inspection
is carried out by simultaneously examining the
inspecting electrodes of all IC chips in a contact
manner in the state where the wafer W is held on the
main chuck (2). The wafer inspecting apparatus is
provided with a contactor, and this contactor is made
up of a first contactor (3), a second contactor (8)
and a driving mechanism (12). The first contactor (3)
has a large number of contact projections (4) on the
lower surface thereof and a large number of contact
electrodes (5) on the entire upper surface thereof.
The contact projections (4) are brought into simultaneous
contact with the inspecting electrodes. The
contact electrodes (5) are electrically connected to
the contact projections (4), respectively. The second
contactor 8 has a number of contact elements (9),
such as pogo-pins, which are brought into contact with
the contact electrodes of the first contactor (3).
The second contactor (8) is movable, and the driving
mechanism (12) moves this second contactor (8) in the
X- and Y-directions in such a manner that the contact
elements (9) and the contact electrodes (5) are
sequentially brought into contact with each other.
The contactor may include a third contactor as well.
The third contactor is arranged between the first
contactor (3) and the wafer W.

Abstract: In a process to reduce the quantity of nitrous oxide emitted from an automotive piston engine, the novelty is that the process consists of the following stages: (a) determination of the degree to which a NOx-storage catalytic converter is NOx-charged; (b) if the NOx charge has not passed a first threshold value, a determination is made as to whether (i) the temperature NOx-storage catalytic converter and/or (ii) the Lambda value and/or (iii) the current engine operating conditions allow regeneration; (c) if parameters allow, initiation of the regeneration phase, otherwise repeat of stage (b) until the parameters do allow, or a second pre-determined threshold value is exceeded; (d) if the second threshold value is exceeded, change in the injection-trigger setting and/or the exhaust gas return and/or throttle flap settings to adjust the regeneration parameters, if the engine operating conditions allow; (e) implementation of the regeneration phase until the NOx-charge falls below the first threshold value, or interruption of the regeneration if the engine operating conditions require, and repeat of stages (b) or (d).

Abstract: A transmitting station (3) transmits FM radio waves which
carry program information, such as news, and time information
representing the current time. Each of receivers (1) generates
the first time information in accordance with an internal clock,
corrects the first time information in accordance with the time
information transmitted from the transmitting station (3), and
generates the second time information. Each receiver (1)
progresses a game by changing the image displayed on the
display, in accordance with a predetermined element, which is
obtained from the program information transmitted from the
transmitting station (3), and the first or second time information.
Therefore, the progress of the game differs depending on the
reception of the second information and the time information, and
accordingly the progress of the game is unexpectable.

Abstract: A laparoscopic electro-surgical instrument has a pair of
jaws (112A, 112B), at least one of which is pivotably
mounted on a housing (114A, 114B) to allow pivotal opening
and closing movements with respect to the other jaw in
response to reciprocating movement of an elongate control
member (118). The control member has an actuator (116) at
its distal end to convert longitudinal reciprocating motion
into the pivotal movement of the at least one jaw (112A,
112B). Each jaw (112A, 112B) has an inner surface (12IS)
which, when the jaws are in a closed position, engages the
inner surface (12IS) of the other jaw. Each inner surface
is formed by conductive surface parts of a conductive
portion of the respective jaw and by intervening insulative
surface parts (C), the arrangement of the conductive and
insulative parts of the two jaws being such that in the
closed position of the jaws, the conductive surface parts of
one jaw are adjacent, but do not touch, the conductive
surface parts of the other jaw. The blades may be arranged

surface parts extending to respective cutting edges (12C) of
the blades. The conductive and insulative surface parts of
each jaw are in an alternating relationship along the length
of the jaw with conductive surface parts (C)of each jaw
being in registry with the insulative surface parts of the
other jaw when the jaws are in their closed configuration.

Abstract: A synchronous delay circuit comprises a first delay circuit array (1)
allowing a pulse or a pulse edge to progress during a constant time, a
second delay circuit array (2) capable of allowing the pulse or the pulse
edge to pass in the first delay circuit array by a length in proportion to a
length by which the pulse or the pulse edge has progressed, and a latch
delay circuit (5) for storing and reproducing a delay time of a clock driver.
Thus, the clock pulse progresses in the latch delay circuit (5) and the delay
circuit array (1) during the clock period (tcK), so that the delay amount of
tcK-(td1+td2) can be obtained with no clock driver dummy. Therefore,
when the synchronous delay circuit is applied to the device such as ASIC
having the clock delay amount different from one chip to another, it is no
longer necessary to design the clock driver dummy for each
interconnection design modification, and therefore, a design efficiency
and a precision can be elevated.

Abstract: A conveyance apparatus for conveying at least one logging tool through an earth
formation traversed by a horizontal or highly deviated borehole is disclosed. The
conveyance apparatus comprises a pair of arcuate-shaped cams pivotally mounted to a
support member, means for biasing the arcuate surface of each cam into contact with the
borehole wall, and actuators operatively connected to each cam. A logging tool is attached
to the conveyance apparatus. When either actuator is activated in a first direction, the cam
connected to the activated actuator is linearly displaced forward and the arcuate surface of
the cam slides along the borehole wall. When either actuator is activated in a second
direction, the activated actuator pulls the connected cam backwards and the biasing means
thereby urges the arcuate surface of the cam to lock against the borehole wall. Once the cam
is locked, further movement of the actuator propels both the conveyance apparatus and the
logging tool forward along the highly deviated or horizontal borehole.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling the number of
mobile-telephones transmitting acknowledgments to broadcast short messages (BSM) over a same set of
random access channels at a same time. In this embodiment, the transmissions of BSM acknowledgments
is controlled by the wireless communication system using random access channel restrictions and random
access techniques. Specifically, the random access channel restrictions reduce collisions among
acknowledging mobile-telephones and call processing mobile-telephones by allocating one or more
specific random access channels over which a BSM acknowledgment can be transmitted, and the random
access techniques reduce collisions among acknowledging mobile-telephones by distributing transmissions
of the BSM acknowledgments over a period of time.

Abstract: Improvement has been made in an image forming
method comprising charging electrically an image
holding member, forming a latent electrostatic image on
the image holding member, developing the latent image
with a toner, transferring the toner image onto a toner
image receiving medium, and recovering untransferred
toner. In this method, a magnetic brush formed from
magnetic particles electrifies the image holding member
by contact with the image holding member surface,
recovers temporarily at least a part of the toner
remaining on the image holding member after the image
transfer, and transfers the recovered toner further
again onto the image holding member, wherein the toner
has a weight-average particle diameter of not larger
than 1/3 of average particle diameter of the magnetic
particles and the magnetic particles contain particles
of diameter of not larger than 1/3 of the average
particle diameter of the magnetic particles at a
content ranging from 0 to 50% by volume. Thereby,
contamination of the magnetic particles by the toner
and interception of the electric conduction path in the
magnetic brush are prevented, and deterioration of the
toner is prevented without excessive shearing of the
recovered toner with magnetic particles.
