Patent EP-0763555-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KOUNO MASAHIRO
IPC: C08G65/26
Filed: 1996-09-09
Abstract: A catalyst for the polymerization of an alkylene oxide compound is composed of a phosphazene compound or a phosphazenium salt which is derived from the phosphazene compound and an active hydrogen compound. A poly(alkylene oxide) can be efficiently produced by polymerizing the alkylene oxide compound in the presence of the catalyst and, when the catalyst is composed of the phosphazene compound, the active hydrogen compound. The poly(alkylene oxide) contains no residual metal components and compared with those produced using conventional amine-base catalysts, has also significantly improved odor.

Title: Process for fabricating three-dimensionally structured polymer films for integrated optics
Inventor: KOOPS HANS W P
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 1996-08-24
Abstract: A process for the fabrication of polymer layers structured in three dimensions, such as of lenses, which are applied to the end of optical fibers or of laser light sources. Dry resist that is polymerizable through exposure is used as a base substance. The dry resist is applied to a substrate and is exposed with a dose apportionment that is predefined as a function of space and time in a structure region. The structure region is precalculated with submicrometer precision using image-processing methods and exhibits the form of the desired lens. The lens-shaped structure region that is polymerized through exposure is removed from the unexposed dry resist. The process of the present invention makes it possible to place lenses on an optical fiber or a laser with submicrometer precision.

Abstract: Automatic disk discriminating method and apparatus in an optical disk system are disclosed. A specific period value (that is, a specific frequency) of the information signal reproduced from a disk is compared with a predetermined reference value. If a higher frequency than the predetermined reference value is detected, the disk is determined to be a DVD.

Abstract: A mobile communication system and mobile communication
method are capable of avoiding call-interruption while calling
attention of the user who calls to be moved before entering
transmission-stop zone. In the mobile communication method, it
causes a base station ID to be received while retrieving all
frequencies (step 11), thus judging whether or not there
exists base station ID of "transmission-stop" instruction
(step 12). When there is the base station ID of the
"transmission-stop" instruction, it is judged that a mobile
station exists in a transmission control zone, it comes into
a state in which transmission is stopped, before coming into
reception state (step 17). While when there is no the base
station ID of the "transmission-stop" instruction, it is
judged that a mobile station exists out of a transmission
control zone (step 13), thus being selected a transmission
destination (step 14). There is judged whether or not warning
information is incorporated in base station ID of the
transmission destination base station (step 15). When the
warning information exists, the warning information/warning
sound is generated (step 18), followed by shifting to normal
operation (step 16). While when no warning information exists
in the base station ID of the transmission destination,
transmission is started to the transmission destination base
station while shifting to the normal operation (step 16).

Abstract: A tired roller is provided with a prime mover (2)
and a speed change unit of the HST type. The speed
change unit includes an HST hydraulic pump (3) of the
variable displacement type driven by the prime mover
(2) and an HST hydraulic motor (4) driven by pressure
oil from the hydraulic pump (3), and can change a rotational
speed of the hydraulic motor (4) by varying a
delivery rate of pressure oil from the hydraulic pump
(3). Rotation of the hydraulic motor (4) is therefore
transmitted at a lower speed to a drive-axle tire train
(7). A propeller shaft (12) is connected to the
hydraulic motor (4) without interposition of any speed
reduction mechanism, so that the propeller shaft (12)
is rotated at a high speed with a low torque. This has
made it possible to form the propeller shaft (12)
smaller in diameter and hence to arrange it in a narrow
space between tires in the drive-axle tire train (7).
Further, the rotation of the hydraulic motor (4) is
reduced in speed at an output side of the propeller
shaft (12), thereby making it possible to transmit the
rotation in a state increased in rotating torque to the
drive-axle tire train (7).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for programming a
selected cell within a memory device, such as a virtual ground EPROM array cell,
without disturbing adjacent array cells. In preferred embodiments, the electrical
disturbance of data stored in adjacent cells is limited in a number of ways: (1) a column
connection circuit is provided for selectively coupling together adjacent pairs
of even-odd or odd-even column lines so that source and drain terminals of
adjacent memory cells are electrically coupled together, thereby preventing the
data stored within the adjacent cells from being disturbed; (2) a current limiter
circuit is provided for lowering a potential on a terminal of the selected cell at
a controlled rate during programming so that voltages on terminals of the
selected cell do not disturb data stored on adjacent memory cells; (3) the order
in which programming signals are applied to terminals of the selected cell are
controlled in such a way as to reduce the disturbance of data on adjacent cells;
and (4) high wordline and data line voltages are applied to the selected cell in
two steps, first to an intermediate voltage, and then to a high voltage. This
reduces the disturbance to adjacent cells and improves programming.
