Patent EP-1349375-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IJI KAZUYUKI
IPC: H04N3/24
Filed: 2003-03-12
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for preventing appearance of a zigzag flush of light
in a cathode-ray tube at the time of turning it off. A train of power-off control pulses are
produced in synchronization with the vertical sweeping signal; a spot-killer control signal
starts in synchronization with a selected power-off pulse to make the whole screen of the
cathode-ray tube bright; and the power supply turns off in synchronization with another
selected power-off control pulse, so that the power-off is caused at the termination of the
vertical sweeping. Thus, the remaining static electricity is discharged at the lowermost of
the screen of the cathode-ray tube. To assure that the residual static electricity is discharged
completely, the length of time "t1"(continuing for a selected integer as long as the
pulse-to-pulse duration) is determined to meet the size of the cathode-ray tube.

Abstract: The electric storage battery charge monitoring circuit measures the percentage of the usable charge remaining (QR (%)) by tracking the battery terminal voltage and the current drawn from the battery over a given time period.  As the charge remaining falls the battery voltage for a given current falls and a computer may calculate the value of QR. Curves may be plotted of QR against voltage divided by current (Km (V/A)) for different battery temperatures e.g. 25degreesC and 0degreesC.

Abstract: The semiconductor memory device comprises a transistor with floating gate (FG) and a control gate, where the regions of source (S), drain (D) and channel of the floating-gate transistor form the control gate, and the memory cell comprises a dielectric zone (ZTN) laid out between a part (P1) of the layer of gate material and an active semiconductor zone (RG1) electrically insulated from another active zone (RG2) incorporating the control gate. The dielectric zone forms a tunnel zone (ZTN) for transferring the charges stored in the floating gate at the time of erasing the memory cell. The capacitive value of tunnel zone (ZTN) is below or equal to 30% of the total capacitive value between the layer of gate material and the set of active zones of the memory cell. The transistor has a ring gate (FG), and the gate material comprises a linking part (PL) connecting the first part (P1) and the ring gate. The active zones (RG1,RG2) are electrically insulated by the p-n junctions polarized in reverse, and the two zones are electrically insulated on the surface by a region of shallow trench isolation (STI).  A memory array comprises several memory cells, each memory cell is associated with an access transistor, and the access transistor partly surrounds the floating-gate transistor of the memory cell resulting in a memory array of reduced size and lower programming currents. The device comprises the polarization means possessing the states of programming, reading and erasing the memory cell, where the erasing is of type Fowler-Nordheim and applies a voltage on the first active zone which is much higher than that applied in the regions of source, drain and substrate of the transistor. The programming of type Fowler-Nordheim applies to the regions of source, drain and substrate of the transistor voltages which are much higher than those applied to the first active zone. In the reading state the difference between the drain/source voltages is limited to 1 V in absolute value. An integrated circuit comprises the device as claimed.

Abstract: A composition contains nanoparticles of retinoic acid as an active ingredient. The nanoparticles have reduced irritancy of retinoic acid and are suitable for subcutaneous or intravenous administration, as well as for use in sustained-release preparation. The high skin permeability of the nanoparticles makes the composition suitable for use in pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical external preparations or cosmetics intended for skin application. 
     The retinoic acid nanoparticles of the present invention are coated with an inorganic salt of polyvalent metal and can be dissolved in water to make a stable clear solution that can be formulated into injectable preparations for subcutaneous and intravenous administration. 
     The polyvalent metal inorganic salt coating helps reduce the irritancy of retinoic acid, so that the nanoparticles do not cause inflammation or tumor formation at the site of application. 
     The inorganic salt of polyvalent metal may be calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate or calcium phosphate.
