Abstract: The invention provides a full rotary hook wherein amount of a bobbin thread wound in a bobbin (4) is increased by making a circumferential portion (12a) between a thread separating portion (21) and a thread releasing portion (22) thinner than the remainder of the circumferential portion (12b) to increase an inner diameter of a bobbin case holder (3). Thereby, the inner diameter of the bobbin (4) housed in the bobbin case holder (3), and further the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion (12) housing the bobbin case (5) can be increased and consequently an outer diameter of a flange (8) of the bobbin (4) can be increased, thereby increasing the amount of the bobbin thread wound around a winding drum of the bobbin.

Abstract: In plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of silicon dioxide on a substrate, voids and discontinuities are reduced by first depositing silicon dioxide in a sputter etch chamber (22) in which a magnetic field is produced within the rf plasma for depositing the silicon dioxide. Simultaneous sputter etch and deposition occurs which inhibits net deposition at the corners of metal conductors over which the silicon dioxide is deposited. The substrate is then removed and transferred through a load lock (27) to a conventional PECVD deposition chamber (23).

Abstract: In order to prevent a packaged article (15), which is sensitive to shock, from being destroyed during transportation, for example in the case of a packaging container (1) falling, layers of padding are arranged in a known manner between the outer packaging (3) and the packaged article (15). These layers of padding often consist of materials, such as polystyrene, which the final purchaser cannot reuse. He therefore usually treats packaging material of this type as waste. According to the invention, this disadvantage is avoided in that the gaps (21, 23, 25, 27) between the inner packaging (5) and the outer packaging (3) are filled by layers of padding made of paper mats which are produced from a reusable and environmentally friendly material. The layers of padding (29) consisting of paper mats absorb the shocks in such a way that destruction of the packaged article (15) is reliably prevented. When the packaged article (15) has been unpacked from the packaging container (1), the packs (30) of paper towels (31) are separated from the inner packaging (5), after which the paper towels (31) can then be used in the household or in industry. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dry etching method whereby an SiO₂ layer and an Si₃N₄ layer may be etched with high selectivity for each other. As etching gas, such sulfur fluorides as S₂F₂ are used which, when dissociated by electric discharges, will form SF x ⁺ as a main etchant for the SiO₂ layer or F* as a main etchant for the Si₃N₄ layer and release sulfur in plasma. When the SiO₂ layer is etched on the Si₃N₄ layer as an underlying layer via a resist mask, nitrogen atoms, removed from the underlying layer upon exposure thereof to plasma, will combine with sulfur in plasma to form on the exposed surface thereof such sulfur nitride compounds as polythiazyl (SN) x , which will, in turn, serve to achieve high selectivity for the underlying layer. The SiO₂ layer can also be etched via an Si₃N₄ mask patterned into a predetermined shape, in which case sulfur nitride compounds formed on the Si₃N₄ mask will serve to achieve high selectivity therefor.

Abstract: A multi-screen display apparatus has a lowest ABL level priority circuit which, receiving ABL signals from a plurality of display units (U 1 , U 2 ) constituting the display apparatus, provides a lowest ABL signal to the display units. At the presetting stage, while being supplied with the same video signal for a white picture, offset ABL voltages of the respective display units are adjusted (5-1,5-2) to produce uniform brightness over the entire multi-screen. The offset data thus determined are stored in the respective display units. When the display apparatus is in actual use, in each display unit the offset voltage is added to the lowest ABL voltage to produce an offset-added ABL voltage to be used for adjusting brightness and/or contrast of the display unit.

Abstract: A microphone apparatus comprises two non-directional microphones (1,2) in case of monaural sound pickup or three non-directional microphones in case of stereo sound pickup, and a signal processing means for processing output signals of the non-directional microphones so that a directivity becomes non-directional in a low frequency region and a first order pressure gradient type in a high frequency region. Accordingly, the microphone apparatus can attenuate the level of unwanted acoustic and vibration noises caused by its onboard moving mechanism as well as wind noise, thus ensuring no declination in the S/N ratio during sound pickup action.

Abstract: A field-emission electronic device works as a field-emission electron source. The field-emission electronic device comprises an anode electrode (3), a first insulating member (5) disposed on the anode electrode, a cathode electrode (1) disposed on the first insulating member, a second insulating member (6) disposed on the anode electrode at a distance from the first insulating member, and a gate electrode (2) disposed on the second insulating member. Therefore, the field-emission electronic device can be formed to make the distance between the electrodes smaller than that of the known field-emission electronic device. Concretely, the distances between the cathode electrode and the gate electrode and between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode are allowed to be reduced. This results in lowering a gate voltage and an anode voltage. Further enbodiments include a field emission cathode of metallic carbide, nitride, oxide or boride in which the composition ratio of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen or boron gradually increases from the substrate side to the emitting portion in order to improve thermal expansion properties of the cathode.

Abstract: Data packets are delivered through a constellation (11) of nodes (12) to a termination unit (18, 20, 22). The node where a packet leaves the constellation is a terminal node. Each packet includes a routing code. When a node receives a packet, it examines the routing code to determine if that node might be the packet's terminal node. A table look up operation is performed using the routing code as an index to a routing table. The table identifies a link (16) to use in routing the packet away from the node to a neighbor node. The packet is also examined to verify compatibility between packet type and a selected link. When a node concludes that it might be a terminal node for a packet, it evaluates a channel identifier to determine if it is currently serving the party to whom the packet is directed.
