Patent EP-0825807-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KOMINAMI SATOSHI
IPC: H05B41/292
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: An operating apparatus for a discharge lamp,
which includes a pair of electrodes and an arc tube
having a material enclosed therein, includes: a selective
depositing device for selectively depositing the material
on one electrode of the pair of electrodes when the
discharge lamp is turned off; and a ballast circuit for
starting operation of the discharge lamp and maintaining
the operation under rated conditions. The ballast
circuit includes a starting pulse generator for applying
a starting pulse to the discharge lamp when the discharge
lamp starts the operation. The starting pulse generates
an electric field acting from the one electrode of the
pair of electrodes having the material deposited thereon
to the other electrode.

Abstract: A method of forming a bump electrode on an IC
electrode (104) includes the steps of forming a ball bond (115) on an
IC electrode by a wire bonding apparatus, moving up a
bonding capillary (113), moving the bonding capillary sideway and
then downward, bonding an Au wire (101) to the ball bond portion,
and cutting the Au wire, the Au wire being prevented from
coming in contact with the periphery of the ball bond
portion except for the ball bond portion by presetting a
descent position of the bonding capillary to a position
higher than a position in which the ball bond is formed.

Abstract: A coding data is performed in decoding by a
stream decoding circuit, an IDCT circuit and an MC
circuit. An AGU stores decoding data from the MC circuit
to a memory. Regarding the decoding data of a  B  picture,
the AGU writes only the decoding data which are necessary
for image display, to a  B  picture region. Thus, a room
occurs in a memory capacity. It is possible to hold the
decoding data of the  B  picture through 2 field periods of
time. It is possible to read twice the same decoding
data, for display processing. Thus, frame interpolation
processing is made possible, and it is possible to obtain
a magnified image having high image quality.

Abstract: Interactive subscriber telephone terminals have a display
screen and softkeys which are controlled by management software.
The management software may be downloaded from a remote server
to control the display and softkeys. Different techniques for achieving
this download are described. In one case each subscriber terminal
has a memory in which can be preloaded a list of one or more Calling
Line ID numbers corresponding to the telephone number of a
server(s). If a server dials the subscriber terminal the calling line ID is
compared with the list and, if there is a match, the terminal
immediately goes off-hook and follows the protocol for a Server
Initiated Download. In an alternative case each subscriber terminal is
capable of calling out to predetermined server lines to obtain the
ADSI scripts. This dial out of stored telephone numbers may be done
on an automatic timed basis or may be initiated by a server calling a
pager embedded in the subscriber terminal.

that are transmitted, their signal coding type and their modulation
format. A system receives (15) a digital bitstream representing
video information encoded in one of a plurality of different

channels. In the system, a method for acquiring data transmitted
on a transmission channel involves selecting (17) a transmission
channel from the plurality of channels and selecting (17) a
modulation format (25). The method also involves tuning (20) to
receive the modulation format and determining (50) whether
valid data is being received on the selected transmission channel.
The method steps are repeated until valid data is received. The
method may also involve selecting (17) a coding type (30,40), and
tuning to receive the coding type. In addition, the method of
acquiring data may involve capturing program guide information
and re-tuning to receive a transmission channel in response to the
program guide information.

Abstract: An iontophoretic drug delivery system of the present invention
includes a controller interconnectable with a drug-filled
patch. The controller includes electronic circuitry which
monitors and controls the supply of electrical current to the
drug-filled patch during delivery of at least one drug, and the
electronic circuitry includes a circuit for causing a voltage
step in a battery of a plurality of serially-connected cells.
Specifically, the circuit causes one or more of the cells to
discharge through a resistor at a higher rate than the other
cells, thus producing a voltage step when the faster
discharging cell dies before the other cells. A reverse-biased
diode is connected in parallel to the faster discharging cell
to cause the current to bypass the faster discharging cell
after it has died, thus preventing it from reverse charging.
This circuitry may be controlled to adjust the higher rate of
discharge, and thus the time of occurrence of the voltage step.
