Patent EP-1235436-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HORIE HITOSHI
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: The present invention provides an image coding
method that efficiently compresses an image read through
an optical system and significantly improves the quality
of reproduced images. 
     Image area separation section(2001) carries out
image area decision in tile (macro block) units to separate
the image into photographic image tiles and character
image tiles. Then, layer separation section(2003)
performs layer separation pixel by pixel to separate each
pixel into pixels belonging to a background and pixels
belonging to a foreground. Approximation
processors(2008,2009) alleviate an increase of entropy
due to layer separation through approximation processing
and carry out JPEG-like processing on photographic images.
The images are then subjected to coding with
variable-length codes such as arithmetic codes. The
coding rate is subjected to feedback control as
appropriate taking into account the performance of the
apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for singulating semiconductor wafers is described. The
method comprises the steps of aiming a laser beam at a layer placed over the substrate; absorbing
energy from the laser beam into the layer; forming scribe lines in the layer by scanning the laser
beam across the layer; and cutting through the substrate along the scribe lines with a saw blade to
singulate the wafer. The apparatus includes a laser placed over the coating layer of the substrate,
and a saw blade mounted over a surface of the substrate. The coating layer has a first absorption
coefficient relative to a wavelength of the laser and the semiconductor substrate has a second
absorption coefficient less than the first absorption coefficient. Energy from the laser beam is
absorbed into the coating layer to form scribe lines therein, and the saw blade cuts through the
substrate along the scribe lines.

Abstract: An 8-ary PSK demodulation apparatus for receiving an input signal
R k (X k , Y k ) comprised of a k th  quadrature-phase component Y k  and a k th  in-phase
component X k , and for generating soft decision values Λ(s k,0 ), Λ(s k,1 ), and Λ(s k,2 )
for the input signal R k (X k , Y k ) by a soft decision means. A calculator calculates
Z k  by subtracting a level |Y k | of the quadrature-phase signal component Y k  from
a level |X k | of the in-phase signal component X k , and outputs the Z k  as a first
soft decision value. A first selector selects the Z k  or reverse -Z k , according to an
MSB of the quadrature-phase signal component Y k . A second selector selects the
Z k  or the reverse -Z k  according to an MSB of the in-phase signal component X k .
A third selector selects an output of the second selector or a value "0" according
to an MSB of the Z k . A first adder adds √2 Y k  to an output of the third selector,
and outputs the result value as a third soft decision value. A fourth selector
selects an output of the second selector or a value "0" according to the MSB of
the Z k . A second adder adds √2X k  to an output of the fourth selector, and
outputs the result value as a second soft decision value.

Abstract: Metal oxide is produced by heating a metal salt of a carboxylic
acid to a predetermined temperature, which varies with a raw material,
lower than 300 °C. In the case of using zinc acetate as the raw material,
when heated in dry helium gas, it is sublimated and decomposed to
produce no zinc oxide. In contrast, when heated in a mixture gas of
nitrogen gas and water vapor with a programming rate of 5 °C/min, the
weight loss begins around 110 °C and has been completed around 230 °C,
at a water vapor partial pressure of 17.9 kPa, to produce zinc oxide.
If keeping the temperature approximately constant when the weight
loss begins, zinc oxide is produced around 115 °C with a high degree
of crystallinity. A metal may be any one of zinc, cadmium, indium
and copper. A carboxylic acid may be any one of formic acid, acetic
acid, propionic acid and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de transfert thermique de matériau organique électroactif, qui consistent à évacuer ou à transférer les parties indésirables d'une couche d'un matériau organique électroactif portées par un élément donneur par transfert thermique, en particulier par transfert thermique induit par laser, et à laisser, sur l'élément donneur, le motif souhaité dudit matériau. Il peut s'agir d'un matériau organique électroactif présentant une électroluminescence, un transport de charge, une injection de charge, une conductivité électrique, une semi-conductivité et/ou un blocage d'excitons. La couche de matériau organique électroactif peut être constituée de plusieurs couches de différents types de matériaux organiques électroactifs. Le motif d'exposition est une image négative du motif voulu. Le matériau organique électroactif du motif voulu n'est donc pas exposé à la chaleur susceptible de provoquer sa décomposition. On peut donc transférer doucement, par lamination, par exemple, le motif voulu du matériau organique électroactif de l'élément donneur à un substrat voulu, sans endommager ledit matériau. Le substrat peut servir à former des dispositifs électroniques organiques, tels que des afficheurs actifs, des photodétecteurs et des cellules photovoltaïques.
