Title: Interconnections between two substrates in power electronic package for chips and components.
Inventor: MALHAN RAJESH KUMAR
IPC: H01L23/13
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: A power electronic package includes: first and second high thermal conductivity insulating non-planar substrates; and multiple semiconductor chips (20) and electronic components (30) between the two substrates. Each substrate includes multiple electrical insulator layers (77) and patterned electrical conductor layers, (7, 8, 9, 10, 43) connecting to the electronic components (30), and further includes multiple raised regions or posts, which are bonded together for example with solder (45) so that the substrates are mechanically and electrically connected. The number, arrangement, and shape of the raised regions or posts are adjusted to have mechanical separation between the substrates. The electrical conductor layers are separated and isolated one another so that the multiple electric circuits are provided on at least one of the substrates. The substrates can be of the direct bonded copper, (DBC) type. A power electronic package can also substrates two substrates which both include recesses or wells, where the electronic components are located at least on one substrate in the wells.

Title: Method and apparatus for making a container with a pressure accommodating base
Inventor: BLAKEBOROUGH ROBERT JAMES
IPC: B29C49/02
Filed: 2006-11-15
Abstract: Moulding apparatus and method, for the forming of a plastics container 1, are disclosed. The container has a rim 3 to define the mouth of the container, a sidewall 20 and a base 2, which includes a relatively rigid central base 4 and an integral annular, relatively flexible, region 5 wherein, the base 4 can be urged from a first lowered position (as in figure 1) to a second raised position (as in figure 4) to accommodate pressure variations in the container. The container is formed by providing a predetermined temperature profile to a preform 15 having a body-forming portion 120, which is placed in the moulding cavity (61) of a pressure (blow) moulding apparatus (60) and expanded (figure 10-not shown). The shape of the preform, its temperature profile and the shape of the moulding cavity determine the shape of the base 2 as outlined above. The container may be made of a material such as PET or PEN, and may be manufactured in one or two-stage processes. The first step comprises injection moulding the preform 15. In the final step, the hot preform is placed in the moulding cavity (61) with the preform 15 located by means of its rim 3. The flexible portion 5 is arranged such that the central rigid portion 4 can be urged from a first lowered position to a second raised position due to flexing of the flexible portion. Thus, the sealed container can accommodate changes in pressure within the container relative to atmospheric pressure.

Title: Traffic camera for gathering information about the which lane a vehicle is travelling in with an image detection device in the camera
Inventor: MA XIN-YU
IPC: G08G1/04
Filed: 2007-03-23
Abstract: A traffic information sensor system 20 includes an image acquisition device or camera 210 to generate video images of a traffic scene. An image detection device 220 extracts traffic information from the video images in connection with the lane position information of the traffic scene. An information transfer device 230 then transmits the extracted traffic information instead of the video images to a traffic management centre. The system may include a lane localisation module (421 fig 4). The images may be analysed (32 fig 3) to extract traffic count information in a particular lane and an average vehicle speed. The vehicle count and speed detection may be done by detecting when the vehicles pass a virtual line as detected by a pixel change in the images.

Inventor: VOS KOEN
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 2009-01-06
Abstract: A method, system and computer program for encoding speech according to a source-filter model. The method comprises deriving a spectral envelope signal representative of a modelled filter and a first remaining signal representative of a modelled source signal, and deriving a second remaining signal from the first remaining signal by, at intervals during the encoding: exploiting a correlation between approximately periodic portions in the first remaining signal to generate a predicted version of a later portion from a stored version of an earlier portion, and using the predicted version of the later portion to remove an effect of said periodicity from the first remaining signal. The method further comprises, once every number of intervals, transforming the stored version of the earlier portion of the first remaining signal prior to generating the predicted version of the respective later portion.

Logical circuitry for distinguishing between forward and backward movement of a member carrying two displaced line gratings which are sensed to produce two out-of-phase pulse sequences A, B comprises two flip-flops 5, 6, controlled by combinations of the input signals A, B to store the previous state of the inputs, and gates 7 to 18 which receive inputs, representing combinations of A, #A, B and #B and inputs C, #C, D, #D representing the states of flip-flops 5 and 6 to produce signals Fo, Fe indicating a forward increment or signals Bo, Be indicating a backward increment, odd increments being represented on Fo or Bo and even increments on Fe or Be. The input pulse trains A and B are out of phase by a quarter of a cycle and the four possible combinations are detected by gates 1-4. so that flip-flop 5 is set by A.B and reset by A.B. Similarly, flip-flop 6 is set by #A.B and reset by A.#B. Gates 7-14 combine the outputs of gates 1-4 with the outputs C, C, D, D of flip-flops 5 and 6 and Or gates 15-18 combine the outputs of gates 7-14 in pairs. Thus, for example, the output Fo appears when B and C are present and A is absent, or when A is present and both B and C are absent. The output signals are applied to a counter having two forward and two backward inputs, an odd input being followed by an even input and vice versa.
