Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a substrate (1, 2, 11) comprising a semiconductor or a dielectric material, and circuit elements (3, 5, or 6) and thermoplastic resin substance (120, 121, or 122) electrically connected to the circuit elements (3, 5, or 6) disposed on the substrate (1, 2, 11). Therefore, since variation in the configuration of the thermoplastic resin substance (120, 121, or 122) is quite small relative to those of the wire, variation in the parasitic inductance due to variation in the configuration is reduced, and uniformity and reproducibility of the high frequency characteristics of the integrated circuit device are enhanced. A method for fabricating an integrated circuit device includes forming circuit elements (3, 5, or 6) on a substrate (1, 2, 11) comprising a semiconductor or a dielectric material, and forming thermoplastic resin substance (120, 121, or 122) electrically connected with the circuit elements (3, 5, or 6).

Abstract: A signal processor comprises a first circuit (42) for extracting a PDH (plesiochronous digital hierarchy) signal from an incoming SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) signal and a second circuit (43) for adding an overhead to an incoming pure SDH signal to produce a synchronous transport module (STM) output signal. The output of the first circuit is selected by selector (44) when the incoming signal contains the PDH signal and the output of the second circuit is selected when the pure SDH signal is received. A local oscillator (55) produces a first clock signal when the incoming signal contains the PDH signal or a second clock signal when the pure SDH signal is received. A read/write circuit (46) stores the selected signal into a buffer (45) at a first rate and reads the scored signal at a second rate. The difference between the first and second rates is detected by a comparator (50). A microprocessor-controlled oscillator (51-53), which operates in a frequency synthesizer mode when the PDH signal is contained in the incoming signal or in a phase locked mode when the incoming signal is a pure SDH signal, is responsive to the difference value for generating a clock signal whose intervals are averaged during the frequency synthesizer mode and whose intervals are locked to the difference value during the phase locked mode. The output of the microprocessor-controlled oscillator is mixed in a mixer (54) with either of the first and second clock signals from the local oscillator (55) to produce a line clock signal at which the second rate of the read/write circuit is set.

Abstract: A light control substance having a negative input-output characteristic is used to invert optical signals. The light control substance is an absorbing substance and has a multi-level energy structure such that ground state absorption occurs between a ground level (E 1 ) and a level (E 3 ) higher than the ground level (E 1 ) and excited state absorption occurs between an excited level (E 2 ) and a level (E 4 ) higher than the excited level (E 2 ). At a specific wavelength, a variation Δ Iout in the intensity of output light and a variation Δ Iin in the intensity of input light satisfy the following equations:           Δ Iout = [1-α       1           (1+α       2       γ)]Δ Iin                     α       1           (1+α       2       γ) > 1          where α 1  is an absorbance of the ground state absorption, α 2  is an absorbance of the excited state absorption, and γ is a ratio of electrons relaxing from the level (E 3 ) higher than the ground level (E 1 ) to the exited level (E 2 ). As a result, the value of Δ Iout/Δ Iin becomes negative.

Abstract: An ink cartridge for ink jet use is provided with an aperture for filling in the cartridge with ink. The circumference of the aperture and a part of a plug pressed in the aperture are fused and welded to be formed integrally to airtightly close the aperture, and obtain an integrated structure without any interface. Hence, it is made possible to reliably prevent ink from leaking therefrom, even if some scratches and cracks are present on both of them. This contributes to eliminating inspection steps to find ink leakage in the course of manufacture, and also, contributes to improving the yield of production. As a result, a significant reduction of costs is possible, while enhancing the reliability of the ink cartridge.

Abstract: The integrity of a group of secure processing elements (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) in a communication system is ensured with a validation scheme. Member elements (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) are checked by adjacent members to determine whether a member has been tampered with or operatively removed from a group. If a member is found to be untrustworthy, propagation of group characteristic information to that member will be halted. The group characteristic information defines the group, and is required by each group member in order to function. The untrustworthy member is therefore effectively exiled from the group. An efficient network topology minimizes inter-member message traffic while maintaining group robustness.

Abstract: Provided is a fire detection system capable of
extracting fire (flame) portions from images produced by a
monitoring camera while eliminating portions depicting
artificial light sources. 
     Portions depicting a light source that emits light
are extracted from images produced by the monitoring
camera. A means is included for judging whether or not
pairs of the extracted portions of images produced with
the passage of time have a relationship of correspondence.
If the extracted portions are contained in images produced
for a given period of time, the light source is judged not
to be the lamps of a moving vehicle, and is therefore
identified as a fire. An area of an overlapping part of the
extracted portions of images produced at different time
instants, and an overall area of the extracted portions
are computed, and the ratio of the area of the overlapping
part to the overall area, that is, the area ratio between
the extracted portions is computed. Eventually, incorrect
alarming due to a vehicle at a standstill or a rotating
lamp can be prevented.

Abstract: A magnetic disk device of embedded-servo type capable of performing dummy operation for suppressing waveform degradation of signal reproduced by magnetic heads at a high speed with high reliability. When a waveform deformation occurs in a No.0 head (11), a controller (1) changes over the No.0 head (11) to a No.1 head (12) operating normally, whereupon a cylinder portion for which dummy operation is to be performed is sought on the basis of the servo information supplied from the No.1 head (12). The cylinder portion destined for the dummy write operation contains servo information at timing positions same for the individual magnetic heads. When passing of the No.1 head (12) over the cylinder portion is confirmed, the No.1 head (12) is changed over to the No.0 head (11) for performing dummy write operation for suppressing the waveform deformation of the reproduce signal outputted from the No.0 head (11). Before the timing for succeeding information (2), the No.1 head (12) is restored by issuing a head change command signal (6). Because the seek operation is realized exclusively by the magnetic head suffering no abnormality, the dummy write operation for preventing waveform deformation of the reproduced signal outputted from the No.0 head (11) can be realized without fail.
