Abstract: Methods are disclosed for fabricating spring
structures that minimize helical twisting by reducing or
eliminating stress anisotropy in the thin films from which
the springs are formed through manipulation of the
fabrication process parameters and/or spring material
compositions. In one embodiment, isotropic internal stress
is achieved by manipulating the fabrication parameters
(i.e., temperature, pressure, and electrical bias) during
spring material film formation to generate the tensile or
compressive stress at the saturation point of the spring
material. Methods are also disclosed for tuning the
saturation point through the use of high temperature or the
incorporation of softening metals. In other embodiments,
isotropic internal stress is generated through randomized
deposition (e.g., pressure homogenization) or directed
deposition techniques (e.g., biased sputtering, pulse
sputtering, or long throw sputtering). Cluster tools are
used to separate the deposition of release and spring
materials.

Abstract: A belt driver includes a belt (18) having a
constant number of regions (a1-a8) dividing the belt in the
perimeter direction thereof. A plurality of marks (M1-M8) have
different widths in the perimeter direction and are
formed in the respective regions of the belt. A sensing
means (HP,25) detects the marks on the belt. A storage means
stores in advance the relationship between position
information of the belt and speed variation of the belt
for one rotation of the belt. Speed variation of the
belt is reduced by correcting the drive speed of the
belt based on the relationship. The position of the
belt (18) is detected from a time required for one of the
marks (M1-M8) to pass the sensing means (25), and speed correction
control of the belt is performed in accordance with the
detected position.

Abstract: A method of communicating between a transmitter and a receiver in a WLAN is disclosed. The transmitter has a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. Data to be sent from the transmitter to the receiver is placed in a first data queue during a first period of time, and in a second data queue during a second period of time. Whilst the second queue is being filled from the MAC layer during the second time period, the data stored in the first queue is being filled from the MAC layer during the first time period, the data in the second queue is transmitted to the receiver. Thus there is provided an efficient co-ordination and transmission of data frames from wireless devices, and a high performance flow of traffic between clients and APs.

Title: Noise suppression component selecting method and program
Inventor: UENO HARUHIKO
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: In a method of selecting a suitable noise suppression component, an input signal to a digital circuit including a transmitter IC, a noise suppression filter, a transmission line, and a receiver IC is expanded by Fourier expansion so as to express the input signal in terms of a series sum of sine waves. The Fourier-expanded input signal and the circuit constants of the digital circuit are used to calculate a signal on the input side of the receiver IC. Similar calculation is performed for all possible filters to assign scores for each of fundamental and harmonic components of the signal, while considering both the noise suppressing effect and the signal waveform quality. Total scores are calculated, and the filters are ranked from a high score to a low score.

Abstract: A touch system includes (100) a plurality of coordinate input sub-regions (CIR x ). The input sub-regions overlap to define a generally contiguous touch surface (102). Each coordinate input sub-region generates pointer coordinate data in response to pointer contacts thereon. The pointer coordinate data is processed to update image data presented on the input surface. When a pointer contact is made on a coordinate input sub-region that does not overlap with an adjacent coordinate input sub-region, the coordinate input sub-region processes acquired images to derive pointer data and triangulates the position of the pointer using the derived pointer data thereby to determine the position of the pointer contact relative to the touch surface. When a pointer contact is made on a coordinate input sub-region that overlaps with an adjacent coordinate input sub-region, each overlapping coordinate input sub-region processes acquired images to derive pointer data and triangulates the position of the pointer using the derived pointer data. Thereafter, the triangulated positions generated by the overlapping coordinate input sub-regions are processed in accordance with defined logic thereby to determine the position of the pointer contact relative to the touch surface.
