Patent CA-2247717-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KWASNICK ROBERT FORREST
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: A radiation imager is disclosed that is resistant to degradation due to moisture by either contact pad corrosion, guard ring corrosion or by photodiode leakage. A contact pad of a large area imager is disclosed that is formed into three distinct and electrically connected regions. The resulting structure of the contact pad regions forms reliable contact that is resistant to corrosion damage. Also disclosed is a data line of an imager, or a display, the resistance of which is reduced by patterning an aluminum (Al) line on top of a transistor island structure, with the formed data line preferably being encapsulated. In addition, a guard ring having first and second regions and photosensitive element are disclosed. The second region comprises an electrical contact between ITO and underlying metal and a second tier which acts as a moisture barrier and is preferably disposed at the corner of the guard ring and separated from the contact pads of the imager in such a manner as to minimize corrosion.      The photosensitive element has a multitier passivation layer disposed between the top contact layer and an amorphous silicon photosensor island except for a selected contact area on the top surface of the photosensor island, where the top contact layer is in electrical contact with the amorphous silicon material of the photosensor island. The passivation layer includes a first tier inorganic barrier layer which is disposed at least over the sidewalls of the photosensor island.

Abstract: A papermaker's fabric (10) having a smooth surface and a prolonged life includes flat machine-direction yarns (26, 28) which define the upper and lower surfaces thereof. The fabric has two layers of cross-machine direction yarns (18, 18', 22, 22'), each of which is interwoven with the flat machine direction yarns (26, 28). Other machine direction yarns (24), of round cross section, weave with the cross-machine direction yarns (18', 22') in the two layers to bind them together. At one of the two ends of the fabric, seaming loops (30) are formed by the round machine-direction yarns. At the other of the two ends, seaming loops (34) are formed by the flat machine-direction yarns (26, 28). The seaming loops (30, 34) are interdigitated with one another, when the two ends of the fabric (10) are brought together during installation on the paper machine, defining a passage through which a seaming pin or pintle (42, 50, 58) is directed to join the two ends (30, 34) together.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of applying adhesive to a lateral edge of a first web (10). The method includes transporting the first web (10) along a first path and transporting a second web (20) along a second path generally in surface-to-surface relationship with the first web at the lateral edge (14) with the second web (20) tending outwardly from the first web (10). When adhesive is applied such as by spraying to the first web (10) at the lateral edge (14) at least some adhesive passes outwardly of the lateral edge (14) as overspray and is received by the second web (20). Thus, adhesive applied to the edge of the first web (10) is received in combination by both of the first (10) and second (20) webs. Both of the first (10) and second (20) webs can be utilized in manufacturing articles. In some embodiments, adhesive is applied at both first (14) and second (16) lateral edges of the web (10). In some embodiments, spaced leg cut-outs are formed in lateral (14, 16) edges of the web. In this context second (20) and optionally third webs can receive adhesive overspray directed toward the first web (10) including at locations of the leg cut-outs. The second web (20) has a width greater than the first web (10) and can thus extend outwardly beyond at least both leg cut-outs of the first web (10) and preferably beyond the entire lengths of the lateral edges (14, 16) of the first web (10).

The mounting arm has an elongated mounting member configured for securing a sign thereto and a pivot portion at an end of the mounting arm. The pivot portion includes first and second engaging portions adapted to engage the vertical and horizontal leg engaging portions, respectively. The pivot pin is mounted to the mounting arm and pivotal about the bracket for positioning and securing the sign in an upwardly oriented storage position and a downwardly oriented display position.   The arm engaging portions frictionally engage their leg engaging portions to maintain the sign in the display and storage positions.

Title: Personalized automated operator position
Inventor: CONNOR ANDREW F
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 1997-11-03
Abstract: A telephone operator signal analysis and manipulation subsystem (50) is configured to be interfaced with various signal transport paths of input/output devices of the operator's (personal computer-based) workstation (12). The subsystem is operative to intercept, analyze and selectively modify signals distributed among components of the workstation, including those that may prompt an interactive response from the operator, so as to alleviate the workload of the operator, and improve the efficiency and response time of the operator position. Because the subsystem analyzes and operates only on information that is presented to and sourced from the operator, it is able to automate various functions of the operator position, including initiating the generation of personalized audio messages, without knowledge of the communication protocol of the telecommunication switch to which the operator's workstation is coupled.

Abstract: D/A-conversion of a Gray coded digital input signal is performed according to an inventive recursive Gray code-to-analog conversion algorithm. According to the recursive algorithm, the Gray code bits of the digital input are successively applied in the recursions of the algorithm, one Gray code bit for each recursion, and the analog output signal is generated by recursively updating an intermediate signal. In each recursion, the intermediate signal is selectively inverted in dependence on the particular Gray code bit that is applied in the recursion. The selective inversion of the intermediate signal is an inherent property of the Gray code-to-analog algorithm, and it is a key factor to reduce the accumulation of errors in a D/A-conversion. In a D/A-converter architecture based on the algorithm, the accumulation of offset errors will be low. Furthermore, the fact that the signal inversion is digitally controlled enables high precision implementations, further improving the performance of the D/A-converter.

Abstract: A multi-part (e.g. three part) business form is particularly suited for use in dispensing sample drugs where it is necessary to have a label to be placed on a sample medication container, a like label to be placed on the patient's chart, and a record sheet, to be placed in the sample medication distribution log. First and second top and intermediate, respectively, label parts..each have a face ply having pressure sensitive adhesive on a back surface and in engagement with an adhesive release coated liner ply, and a third, bottom, paper part underlies the first and second parts. Common non-variable indicia is imaged on the first part face ply, the second part face ply, and the third part, and the parts are releasably connected together (e.g. by permanent adhesive and a line of weakness, adjacent the top edges of the parts) so that at least some of the common indicia is in alignment. Carbonless coatings transfer indicia imaged on the first part face ply to the second part face ply and to the third part. The label parts each comprise a plurality of (e.g. six) labels formed in (e.g. die cut from) the face ply, and each having non-variable common indicia. Preferably each label has a corner devoid of adhesive to facilitate easy separation from the liner ply. At least the third part preferably is three hole punched so that it can easily be kept in a binder. In order to provide sufficient durability of the parts and plies, yet allow appropriate image transfer, the face plies of the first and second parts are typically each between about 10-18 pound bond paper, and the liner plies of the first and second parts are each between about 10-15 pound liner paper, and the third part is preferably between about 10-25 pound bond paper.
