Abstract: A plasma photoresist hardening technique is provided to improve the etch
resistance of a photoresist mask 26. The technique involves the formation of a
thin passivation layer 26b on the photoresist mask 26 which substantially slows
down the etching rate of the photoresist material 26a. Advantageously, this
technique allows preservation of critical dimension features such as via hole
openings and transmission lines. The technique hardens the surface of the
photoresist film 26 by both chemically and physically bonding halogenated
hydrocarbons with cross linked photoresist polymer. This results in a passivation
layer 26b which is highly resistant to harsh plasma etch environments.

surface and the outermost and innermost points are measured, and the diameter and
eccentricity of the crankpin are calculated on the basis of the measured distances and the
position of the reference surface.

Abstract: A wireless communications device capable of high quality
radio communication. The present invention includes an antenna in
which one surface of a grounding conductor and a planar radiating
conductor are arranged approximately in parallel, a circuit board
containing a wireless communications circuit that conducts radio
communication via the antenna, and insertion means which holds the
antenna and circuit board and which is inserted into an electronic
device with the antenna sticking out. Therefore, when the present
invention is inserted in the electronic device, current flowing
through the radiating conductor generates an electric field
between the grounding conductor and the radiating conductor in the
direction from the grounding conductor to the radiating conductor
to operate the radiating conductor almost alone as an antenna
almost without operating the grounding conductor as an antenna.
This makes it possible to prevent degradation of antenna
characteristics and thus provides high quality radio communication.

reproduction control unit for generating a reproduction control signal by analyzing at
least one of first and second displacement values, which are varied by a user, and
outputting the generated reproduction control signal; and an audio reproduction unit
for modulating and reproducing the first audio signal according to the reproduction
control signal. The audio reproduction apparatus can modulate an audio signal in a
variety of ways. The structures of the audio reproduction apparatus and the
remixing apparatus are simple, and an audio signal can be finely modulated at low
cost. Drawbacks which would occur by use of a needle can be eliminated. A digital
audio signal of a CD can be efficiently modulated and reproduced without need for
remastering into an LP record. A high-resolution digital audio signal can be

Abstract: A shock-resistant and environmentally sealed container with pressure equalization is
provided. A latch is pivotally coupled to the container and has an open position and a
closed position. An air passageway is provided that permits air to pass between the interior
of the container and the surrounding atmosphere. Several different elements are disclosed
that are positioned in the air passageway. These elements are designed to cooperate with
the latch so that when the latch is in the closed position, the element seals the air
passageway and when the latch is in the open position, air is allowed to pass through the air
passageway and equalize any air pressure differentials. 
     A latching system for the container may also include a deflectable pin coupled to a first
section of the container with a latch coupled to a second section. The latch includes a
deflectable pin engaging member. When the deflectable pin engaging member is engaged
with the deflectable pin, the deflectable pin absorbs relative movement between the first
section and the second section of the container. Another embodiment of the container
employs a latch containing a deflectable member. The latch is pivotally coupled to a latch
pin that is mounted to either the first section or the second section of the container. The
deflectable member is positioned between the latch pin and the latch, and the deflectable
member is configured to absorb relative movement between the first section and the second

Abstract: A real time stamp distribution system for multi-element/multi-processor
networks. A master network element derives a real time stamp (RTS) from a source and
distributes the RTS to the remaining network elements. A combination of distribution
methods are discussed including a dedicated hardware connection, hardware and software
messaging and a method wherein a high precision stamp is derived from an oscillator
located on each network element. In one embodiment the system has a drift adjustment
feature to compensate for a system time stamp drift relative to the real time. Redundancy
can be provided by employing multiple master timekeeper elements. The RTS in one
application has three timing components; a high precision portion; an intermediate
precision portion and a low precision portion. The intermediate portion can be
implemented using shifter based counters such as a linear feedback shift register. Pulse
width modulated encoding and decoding can be used to transport the intermediate real
time stamp from the master timekeepers to the other network elements in the system.
