Patent EP-0840303-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TSUCHIYA SHIGEO
IPC: G11B7/135

Abstract: An optical disk (10) has a reflecting layer (16, 16-1, 16-2) and a transparent substrate (14) formed on the reflecting layer (16, 16-1, 16-2). The type of the optical disk (10) changes depending on the physical characteristics of the reflecting layer (16, 16-1, 16-2) and the thickness of the transparent substrate (14). When discriminating such a disk (10), an objective lens (34) which focuses an optical beam on the disk (10) is moved toward the disk. Along with this movement, a detection signal that detects a light beam reflected by the disk (10) generates a detection signal. First, a peak accompanying mirror surface reflection of the surface of the disk (10) appears, and then a peak accompanying reflection of the reflecting layer appears (16, 16-1, 16-2). The type of the disk (10) which concerns the transparent substrate (14) of the optical disk (10) is discriminated from the time interval between the two peaks. The characteristics and reflection level of the RF component of detection signal generated by the detector (99) change in accordance with the count of reflecting layers (16, 16-1, 16-2) and the reflectance of the reflecting layer (16, 16-1, 16-2). This discriminates the physical characteristics of the reflecting surface and the type of the optical disk (10). In this manner, with the disk type discrimination method and device according to the present invention, discrimination can be performed within a substantially constant, short period of time after the disk (10) is set in the device until the disk is recognized.

includes a CPU designed to fetch a plurality of instructions
simultaneously from a memory through a data bus in an instruction
fetching stage. Each of the instructions is expressed in a string of
bits having a bit length which is shorter than a bus width of the data

Abstract: A low cost highly integrated method of fabricating a heat
sink (56) on the backside of a power semiconductor device (12)
maintains device performance, improves thermal transfer, and
enables reliable planar connections without having to dice the
wafer (10) or package the discrete device-heat sink assembly
(60). An etch stop layer (20) is formed between the wafer (10)
and the front side power devices (12) to protect them during
backside processing and to reduce the contact resistance between
the device (12) and its heat sink (56). The heat sinks
(56) are formed by thinning, patterning and then plating the
wafer (10) in such a manner that the device can be released
without dicing. The heat sinks (56) are preferably oversized so
that a vacuum tool (76) can grasp the heat sink (56) from above
without damaging the device (12) and then compression bond the
heat sink (56) onto a planar microstrip circuit assembly, which
is designed and packaged to facilitate easy replacement of
failed devices (12).

Abstract: A novel latch circuit configuration (100) that substantially reduces
inverter-based setup and hold times includes first and second input switches (140, 145)
connected to an effective sense amplifier configuration. It is possible for the input
switches to receive complimentary signals of a balanced input signal. The latch circuit
operates in initialization and output modes based on the signal level of an alternating
clock signal. The output mode produces an output signal having a first or second signal
magnitude based on the magnitude of the input signal at the end of the initialization
mode. Also, disclosed is a high-speed serial-to-parallel converter based on this latch
circuit.

Abstract: The common-rail type fuel injection method of
this invention injects a small amount of fuel during
the deceleration of engine to swiftly accomplish
reductions in the common rail pressure and the engine
revolution speed, thus reducing the amount of NOx at
the end of the deceleration. The basic fuel injection
amount Qb is determined from the accelerator control
input Acc and the engine revolution speed Ne (step
S10). When the actual pressure Pf of the common rail
is higher than the target pressure Pf 0  by more than a
predetermined value α (step S11) and also the basic
fuel injection amount Qb is smaller than the second
fuel injection amount, which is equal to a smaller-than-one
factor k times the first fuel injection
amount Qpd that stabilizes the engine revolution speed
during no-load operation (step S12), then the final
fuel injection amount Qfin is set to the second fuel
injection amount (step S13) to lower the common rail
pressure in order to avoid fuel injection at high
pressure when the accelerator is depressed again.

Abstract: A serial optical link for transmission of payload data is utilised so as to permit
transmission of information facility data unrelated to the payload data. A superframe is
constructed at the transmission facility made up of a serial series of data frames. Each
data frame consists of serially arranged words including a number of payload data words
and a non-payload word. One non-payload word of the superframe has information
facility data which provides a communication channel from the transmitting facility to the
receiving facility for information unrelated to the communication of payload data.
Another non-payload word has alarm and status facility data. The information facility
data is stored in a FIFO buffer when received. If the FIFO buffer is within two words of
being full, a full signal is incorporated in the next alarm and status facility data word
which causes the receiving end to suspend sending information facility data words.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for balancing motor vehicle wheels having
rims formed by continuous radially-directed tracts alternating with spaces,
according to which, after having a first time determined an entity and exact
geometrical position of correction weights, a method employing the following
phases is applied: a) application of a weight, whose position on the rim and
entity are theoretically exact and calculated by the processor after the start
phase: said weight will be applied at a continuous part, or a spoke (12) situated
at a position on the rim which is closest possible to an exact position, obviously
if there is no spoke or continuous part at said exact position; b) determination
of the effective position at which the weight has been materially applied with
respect to the exact position as calculated by the processor; c) the use of
geometric parameters defining said effective position in order to calculate the
residual unbalance deriving from the new real configuration of the weights so
that a theoretically-calculated exact geometrical position of a new weight to be
applied can be carried out; d) comparison between the value of residual value
and a value assigned as acceptable; e) application, in the case in which said
residual unbalance is greater than said assigned value, of the second weight at
the continuous tract or spoke (12) of the rim which is closest to the
theoretically exact geometric position identified in the previous phase (c, that
is, if said exact position is not already at a spoke or continuous tract (12); f) the
repetition of phases b), c), d), e) up until when the value of the nth residual
unbalance calculated is lower than or equal to the value assigned as acceptable.

billboards generally built is used a previous material of protection
tection for leds, methacrylate, policarbonate lens, etc., that
during the narmest hours of the day it is like a solar panel which
with the heat emitted from electronic components leads to high
temperature the electronic billboard damaging the components. 
so many electronic billboards till now used are keep out during
the day and on only during the night, or are used electronic billboards
whit an opening for cooling or interscape with the employmet
of conditioners and with high realization and management
costs.

Abstract: In a common buffering device with a simple arrangement,
a write address can be efficiently released from a buffer
memory upon receipt of a multi-address call. For an ATM
cell which is to be transmitted to a specific line, a write
address is set in a common buffer memory, and the ATM cell
is written at the write address. The ATM cell is read from
an address which corresponds to the write address, and is
transmitted to the specific line. Then, the pertinent
write address is released. In a write table are entered
a plurality of multi-address lines across which an ATM cell
written at a specific address in the common buffering device
can be multicast. Each time the ATM cell is read from the
specific address, a designation line for transmission of
an ATM cell in a read control table is compared with the
multi-address lines set in the write control table. When
the lines match, the write address for the ATM cell, which
is set in the write control table, is released.
