Patent EP-1320203-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HADINGER PETER J
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A satellite communication system (10) includes
apparatus for exchanging communication data between ground-based
user sites (21-24, 41-44 and 51-54) and a ground-based
wideband network (60). A communication satellite
(30) exchanges user communication data with the user sites.
Ground-based hub terminals (27, 35, 47 and 57) exchange the
user communication data with the satellite (30) and also
exchange the data with the network (60). A communication
manager (70) determines the communication requirements
between the satellite and the network and identifies more
than one hub terminal to exchange user communication data
with the satellite in the event that one hub terminal is
insufficient to meet the communication requirements.

Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide a method for
improving the performance of a circuit containing a
three-terminal device. In the operation of a circuit containing
three-terminal device 10, the influence of the Early effect
pertaining to the three-terminal device of a FET is reduced. In
order to reduce the influence, control unit 30 is set for
reducing the Early effect component caused by a three-terminal
device. As a result, by controlling the potential of the second
terminal (such as drain) of the device as a response to a first
signal pertaining to the input signal received by the first
terminal (such as gate) of the device, it is possible for the
potential difference between the second terminal (drain) and the
third terminal (such as source) of the device to be essentially
constant.

Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: A detoxification process for rendering three-dimensional objects formed
by solid freeform fabrication techniques biocompatible for use in long-term
dermal contact applications. The process nullifies cytotoxins normally present
in objects formed by solid freeform fabrication techniques rendering such
techniques as viable for the production of biocompatible devices such as
stents, artery valve components, bone implant supports, pacemaker shells,
surgical tools, and the like. In one embodiment, a custom hearing aid shell is
produced by stereolithography from an acrylate photopolymer resin that was
detoxified for long-term dermal contact application. The detoxification process
makes three-dimensional objects created by solid freeform fabrication
techniques available for products requiring biocompatibility. A preliminary
object which contains cytotoxins is formed layerwise. The detoxification
process may be performed by entrapping, extracting and/or decomposing
cytotoxins; or by subjecting the preliminary object to ultrasonic stimulation in
a solvent; or by subjecting the preliminary object to chemical extraction, as in
a soxhlet extractor. Alternatively the preliminary object may be detoxified by
subjecting it to steam cleaning, thermal heat or by selecting a build style in
stereolithography where the beam width of radiation overlaps when solidifying
the resin in the layers.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a
transaction terminal apparatus for executing
transaction processing with a customer in which certain
elements are required to be tamperproof. With this
invention those structural elements of the transaction
terminal apparatus that need to be tamperproof are
constituted as a module 2 that is removable from the
main body 1 of the transaction terminal apparatus.
Since the module 2 is constituted so as to be
tamperproof, the main body 1 of the transaction
terminal apparatus does not need to be made
tamperproof. The elements required to be tamperproof
are contained in the module so that they can be removed
from the main body. The application programs relating
to various types of transactions stored in the main
body can be easily added to, modified, revised, and
updated, without having to open a tamperproof unit,
making the unit versatile and easy to upgrade.

Abstract: A laminated structure utilizes differential adhesive (36) to achieve high adhesion to a wicking material and low adhesion where removal is desired. The low profile wicking pad (32) is useful in any technology where it is desirable to control excess moisture with a passive device. The wicking device is particularly useful in the field of continuous ink jet printing systems, where the low profile of the device is desirable and the cost reduction makes disposability of the device a reality. In ink jet printing systems, the wicking device improves ink jet printhead performance via ink mist and ink drip elimination.

Abstract: A seed layer as a laminate of a GaN layer (second seed layer) and an AlN buffer layer (first seed layer) is formed on a sapphire substrate. A front surface thereof is etched in the form of stripes with a stripe width (seed width) of about 5 µm, a wing width of about 15 µm and a depth of about 0.5 µm. As a result, mesa portions each shaped like nearly a rectangle in sectional view are formed. Non-etched portions each having the seed multilayer as its flat top portion are arranged at arrangement intervals of L20 µm. Part of the sapphire substrate is exposed in trough portions of wings. The ratio S/W of the seed width to the wing width is preferably selected to be in a range of from about 1/3 to about 1/5. Then, a semiconductor crystal A is grown to obtain a thickness of not smaller than 50 µm. The semiconductor crystal is separated from the starting substrate to thereby obtain a high-quality single crystal independent of the starting substrate. When a halide vapor phase epitaxy method is used in the condition that the V/III ratio is selected to be in a range of from 30 to 80, bothinclusively, a semiconductor crystal free from cracks can be obtained.
