Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a zipper pull
of a slider for slide fastener formed of resilient body on which
no unreasonable force is applied when the fastener is opened
or closed and which is always kept in a stabilized condition
that it is urged to be fallen onto a slider body without swinging
freely. A yoke (5) which is a zipper pull mounting portion
(4) is mounted on a top face of a slider body (1). A
half-annular shaped zipper pull (2) formed of resilient body
is fixed to lateral bars (22) at front and rear ends of a
rectangular connecting body (3) longer than the slide body (1).
A lateral bar (22) is provided in the center of the connecting
body (3) and inserted through an automatic locking pawl lever
(10) incorporated in the yoke (5). Neck portions (26) are
provided in the vicinity of a fixing portion (25) at the front
and rear ends so that the zipper pull (2) is elastically
deformable easily. A grip portion (27) is provided at a
position apart from the fixing portion (25) so that the zipper
pull (2) is easy to grip. Further, a feature of the zipper
pull (2) of this invention is that a central portion to be
disposed on the slider body (1) of the connecting body (3) is
low while the sides of the fixing portions (25) on both ends
are located higher and extended horizontally with a step. 
Consequently, when the zipper pull (2) is lifted up and pulled
up slightly, the locking pawl lever (10) can be raised so that
the slider can be slid. The zipper pull (2) is always kept
in such a stabilized condition that it is fallen to the slider
body.

Inventor: WHITE WHITNEY R
IPC: H04B10/2581
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: Mode-coupled plastic or glass optical fibers are used in communications systems to carry
optical signals between transmitters and receivers. In order to overcome the high attenuation
characteristics of mode-coupled optical fibers, the launch power used to transmit signals over the
optical links is higher than those typically used in comparable conventional communications systems
that rely on standard single-mode or multimode glass optical fibers. In order to accommodate the
larger launch power levels, the communications systems are designed with receivers having a larger
dynamic range than those used in conventional communications systems. In addition, the mode-coupled
optical fibers can have diameters on the order of 50-62.5 microns, or even larger, thereby
enabling the use of relatively simple and inexpensive butt coupling between the fibers and other
system components (e.g., transmitters and receivers).

Abstract: A feature presentation order for a feature browser display of a communication
system terminal, e.g., a wireless terminal, is controlled in accordance with user-specific
feature utilization history information. The utilization history information may include, e.g.,
a set of utilization counters for each of a number of features supported by the system, and
the presentation order may be determined by sorting the utilization values of the
corresponding features in an increasing or decreasing order. The utilization counters may
be stored in a feature presentation management table that is implemented in the terminal and
includes a feature identifier, a presentation order number and the utilization counter for each
of the features. In a state-based embodiment, a different feature presentation management
table is maintained for each of a set of designated terminal states, such as on hook, off hook
and active. The feature browser utilizes the feature presentation management table(s) to
determine the user-specific order in which features are to be presented on the terminal
display. Advantageously, the invention allows different user-specific utilization-based
feature presentation orders to be provided to different users of the system.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe includes a piezoelectric element (1) for
transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves and an acoustic lens (3)
provided on an ultrasonic transmission/reception side of the piezoelectric
element (1). The acoustic lens (3) is formed in an acoustic lens shape by
vulcanization formation through addition of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-t-butyl
peroxy hexane as a vulcanizing agent to a composition prepared by addition
of silica (SiO 2 ) particles in an amount of 40 wt% to 50 wt% to silicone rubber
with a dimethylpolysiloxane structure including vinyl groups. Thus, the
ultrasonic transmission and reception sensitivity is improved and the
degradation in frequency characteristics is diminished. Consequently,
higher resolution of an ultrasonic image and higher sensitivity can be
achieved.

Abstract: An inter-level metallization structure and the method of forming it, preferably based on
copper dual damascene in which the lower-metal level is formed with a exposed metallization
(22) and an adjacent, embedded stop layer (50), both the metallization and embedded stop layer
have exposed surfaces approximately level with each other with a lower dielectric layer (18).
The upper-metal level includes a second stop layer (30) deposited over the embedded stop layer
(50) and the first metallization (22) and a second dielectric layer (32). An inter-level via (40) is
etched through the second dielectric layer (32) and through the second stop layer (30) and metal
is filled into the via to contact the metallization (22). If the inter-level via (40) is offset over the
edge of the metallization (22), the metal in the via (40) contacts the embedded stop layer (50)
and not the first dielectric layer (18), whereby the embedded stop layer (50) acts as a copper
diffusion barrier. The structure and method are particularly useful when the sidewalls of via
hole are first coated with a second copper barrier layer but the via bottom is not so coated,
thereby decreasing contact resistance and allowing copper diffusion in the absence of an in-line
barrier.

Abstract: An automatic exposure control camera always permits a subject to be photographed
with appropriate brightness regardless of a front-lighted, back-lighted, or over-front-lighted
condition. The area to be photographed is divided into 64 regions. The camera determines
the average Yav64 of brightness over all the regions, the average YavU32 of brightness in the
regions constituting the upper half, the average YavL32 of brightness in the regions
constituting the lower half, the average YavD1 of brightness in regions in which brightness is
lower than the average Yav64, the average YavD2 of brightness in regions in which
brightness is lower than the average YavD1, the average YavB1 of brightness in regions in
which brightness is higher than the average Yav64, and the average YavB2 of brightness in
regions in which brightness is higher than the average YavB1. Based on the ratios between
these averages, the camera distinguishes among a front-lighted, a back-lighted, and an over-front-lighted
condition and controls the exposure of an image sensor accordingly.

significant hydrogen bonding occurs between the layers of
thermoplastic urethane and the barrier material. The
membranes are specifically characterised in that hydrogen
bonds are formed between the layer including thermoplastic
urethane and the layer including at least one copolymer of
ethylene and vinyl alcohol. 
     Products in the form of cushioning devices made
from flexible membranes employing at least one layer
including thermoplastic urethane and at least one layer of
a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol are inflatable
to a relatively high pressure. The cushioning devices
maintain the internal inflatant pressure for extended
periods of time by employing a phenomenon referred to in
the industry as diffusion pumping. Ideally, the
cushioning devices of the present invention can be
permanently inflated with gases such as nitrogen or air. 
     Still other products such as bladders useful for
inflatable objects, such as footballs, basketballs, soccer
balls and inner tubes; food packaging films; fuel liner;
fuel storage tanks and pressurised accumulators, among
others, are formable utilising the laminated membranes
