IPC: B21C25/02
Filed: 2001-02-09
Granted: 2005-03-23
Abstract: In a method for producing curved work pieces, an extruded profile leaves the die of an extruder in the strand discharge direction and is then bent into a curved shape by external forces. The extruded profile that leaves the die, before being bent, is deflected so that the strand discharge direction extends forwards at an angle counter to the eventual curvature of the work piece. To this end, the die comprises a tool holder in whose receiving opening an extrusion tool package consisting of a die with or without a mandrel and a cover part is disposed. The guide surfaces of the die and/or of the mandrel that produce the discharged strand are designed or disposed to be at an angle with respect to the strand discharge direction which extends at an incline with respect to the center axis of the die counter to the eventual curvature of the work piece.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compression device for stimulating the efflux of a body fluid from a body part. The device has a compression unit with a pressure-application region made of a deformable material, the region being formed to generate a repulsive force between the body part and the compression unit. The repulsive force passes through a force maximum then decreases to serve as an indication that the body part is guided sufficiently firmly and far enough onto the compression unit.

Abstract: A method of compressing digital representations of images stores the images in multiple subsampling quality scales in a progressive manner such that a higher quality scale contains only data incremental to the data in an adjacent lower quality scale. The data in each quality scale is transformed, quantized, and entropy encoded. A discrete wavelet cosine transformation combining frequency transformation features of a discrete cosine transformation and spatial transformation features of a wavelet transformation is provided. Sequences of subsampling quality scales are provided for multi-scale representations of images. A novel context selection method is used which treats color components and coefficients of different positions differently. An image compressed in a given quality scale can be transmitted or decompressed progressively allowing progressive downloading or transmission over the Internet.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vacuum dryer that is used when a coated film composed of, for example, a resist film is formed on a semiconductor wafer and can improve the thickness uniformity of the coated film by controlling the flow of coating liquid.  <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor wafer W to which the coating liquid prepared by mixing the component of the coated film with a solvent has been applied in a preceding step is placed on a placing base 41 provided in a closed container 4, and the solvent is vaporized from the liquid applied to the surface of the wafer W by reducing pressure in the container 4 by means of a vacuum pump 46. Then a rectifying plate 5 is provided to face the surface of the wafer W placed on the placing base 41, and the pressure in the container 4 is detected by means of a pressure sensor 55. When the pressure detected by means of the sensor 55 becomes a prescribed value or lower, the rectifying plate 5 is raised from the first position to a second position higher than the first position. Consequently, the film thickness of the coating liquid can be controlled and the in-plane uniformity of the film thickness is improved, because the outwardly expanding flow of the coating liquid is controlled between the wafer W and the plate 5.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, since a bump extending over a protective film from an electrode pad has an upper surface protruding at the circumferential fringe and recessed in the central part, the protrusion does not collapse readily but the protective film or an insulating film beneath the electrode pad is broken and resin remaining in the recess causes failure of contact.  <P>SOLUTION: The protective film 2 is patterned to form an opening 2a exposing the electrode pad 3, and a protrusion pattern 2b of a part of the protective film 2 in the opening 2a. The bump 4 defined in the opening 2a is then formed by plating through the use of a resist mask 11. Since the protrusion 4a is formed on the upper surface of the bump 4 in the central part thereof, a recess surrounded by the protrusion 4a is not formed. Furthermore, the protrusion 4a can be subdivided and deformed readily.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract: Real time communications over a network are adjusted to improve the quality of service (QoS) under incipient congestion conditions. The system detects incipient network congestion and feeds back information regarding the incipient congestion back to the transmitter. Based on this information, the transmission rate is altered appropriately using a control algorithm, which computes the altered transmission rate based on a weight parameter, a gain parameter, and information from a congestion report. The altered transmission rate improves the transmitter's use of the available bandwidth to maintain an acceptable QoS at the receiver.
