Title: Utility lighter
Inventor: ADAMS PAUL
IPC: F23Q2/36
Filed: 2000-05-30
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to a utility lighter including a housing having a handle at one end and a nozzle with an outlet at another end and including a fuel supply connected for selective fluid communication with the nozzle. An electric ignitor assembly, such as a piezoelectric mechanism, has first and second electrical contacts operatively connected to a first electrical pathway. The first electrical pathway includes a first gap proximate the outlet. An ignition preventing assembly forming a second electrical pathway is also operatively connected to the electric ignitor assembly and has operative and inoperative configurations. In the inoperative configuration, the resistance of the second electrical pathway is less than the resistance of the first electrical pathway such that electrical current generated by the electric ignitor assembly selectively travels in the second electrical pathway. In the operative configuration, the resistance of the second electrical pathway is greater than the resistance of the first electrical pathway such that the electrical current selectively travels in the first electrical pathway and jumps across the first gap to form a spark to ignite fuel from the fuel supply. The second electrical pathway can be a continuous pathway to short circuit the electrical ignitor assembly in the inoperative condition. The second electrical pathway can also include a gap smaller than the first gap so that the spark is formed across this gap rather than the first gap in the inoperative condition. The ignition preventing assembly can be coupled with various mechanical mechanisms for preventing unwanted actuation.

Title: A novel method to reduce dishing in metal chemical-mechanical polishing
Inventor: CHEN FENG
IPC: H01L21/304
Filed: 2000-03-03
Granted: 2001-09-21
Abstract: A new method of metal plug metallization utilizing a sacrificial high polishing rate layer to prevent dishing and metal residues after CMP is described. An oxide layer is provided overlying semiconductor device structures in and on a semiconductor substrate. A sacrificial high polishing rate (HPR) layer is deposited overlying the oxide layer. An opening is etched through the HPR layer and the oxide layer to one of the semiconductor device structures. A barrier layer and a metal layer are deposited over the surface of the HPR layer and within the opening. The metal layer, barrier layer, and HPR layer overlying the oxide layer are polished away by CMP. The polishing rate of the HPR layer is higher than that of the metal layer with the result that after the HPR layer is completely removed, the metal layer remaining within the opening has a concave shape. The oxide layer is over-polished until endpoint detection is received. Since the metal polishing rate is higher than the oxide polishing rate, the concave shape is made substantially planar during the over-polishing to complete metal plug metallization in the fabrication of an integrated circuit.

Granted: 2003-02-11
Abstract: A symbol timing recovering circuit of phase demodulation and its method are disclosed in the present invention. In the invention, an operand is obtained by squaring the value that is obtained by subtracting a predetermined phase value from a phase difference between the in-phase signal and the orthogonal signal, in which the in-phase signal is achieved from the same sampling point between the neighboring symbols in the polar coordinates. The total phase difference value for each sampling point inside one symbol is then calculated one by one to find the position of the best sampling point in the symbol cycle and accurately recover the symbol timing of the signal sequence. By using the above characteristics the invented circuit not only has a simple circuit structure but also has the advantages of simplified operation steps and shortened execution time.

Granted: 2002-03-11
Abstract: Yarn breakage position detecting method and device for detecting a breakage position of a yarn running in a yarn processing machine. The device includes a tension detector arranged at a reference position to monitor tension of a running yarn, so that from a tension signal output by the tension detector, occurrence of yarn breakage is first detected and passage of the end of a broken yarn through the reference position is then detected. Yarn breakage position is calculated based on the time period from occurrence of yarn breakage to passage of the broken yarn end through the reference position. Time when the yarn is broken is stored as a time at which the tension signal becomes a peak value and/or a time at which the tension signal begins to decrease below a steady state tension value. Time when the yarn passes through the reference position is stored as a time at which the tension signal becomes lower than a lower limit value and/or a time at which proper vibration begins.

IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 2001-05-31
Granted: 2004-01-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a drive method and circuit for piezoelectric transformer that drives a piezoelectric transformer with high driving efficiency, despite variations in the impedance of a load and suppresses the mechanical damages to the piezoelectric transformer itself, even if the load varies abruptly. The piezoelectric transformer is driven by the preset first frequency to supply electrical power to the load connected to the secondary side of the piezoelectric transformer. When the impedance for the power supplied to the load varies up to the preset impedance value, the scanning is not proceeded, but the piezoelectric transformer is driven by the preset second frequency varied from the first frequency. Furthermore, the second frequency is determined by detecting the characteristics of the piezoelectric transformer before supplying the load steadily with electric power.
