Patent EP-0568064-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUMMERFELT SCOTT R
IPC: C23C14/08
Filed: 1993-04-29
Abstract: This is a method for fabricating a structure useful in semiconductor circuitry. The method comprises: growing a buffer layer of non-Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide layer directly or indirectly on a semiconductor substrate; and depositing a Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide on the buffer layer. Alternately this may be a structure useful in semiconductor circuitry, comprising: a buffer layer 26 of non-lead-containing high-dielectric constant oxide layer directly or indirectly on a semiconductor substrate 10; and a lead-containing high-dielectric constant oxide 28 on the buffer layer. Preferably a germanium layer 12 is epitaxially grown on the semiconductor substrate and the buffer layer is grown on the germanium layer. When the substrate is silicon, the non-Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide layer is preferably less than about 10 nm thick. A second non-Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide layer 30 may be grown on top of the Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide and a conducting layer (top electrode 32) may also be grown on the second non-Pb/Bi-containing high-dielectric constant oxide layer.

Abstract: In the described shift lever position indicating device, optical waveguides (2) which are laid inside the hollow shift lever (3) of a motor vehicle transmission, serve to guide incident light on to a contour which symbolises the selected gear. The directed light is reflected and guided to a display in the knob (6) of the shift lever. This display is located below a transparent cover panel (1) in the top area of the knob of the shift lever, which area is clearly visible to the driver of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A function ally gradient composite material containing copper and carbon as main components and having a predetermined shape, in which the composition ratio of the copper to the carbon in the material continuously varies in at least one predetermined direction. The material is manufactured, for example, by impregnating carbon felt with a resin and thermocompressively molding the impregnated felt (step S101), carbonizing the resin by baking (step S102) to provide a preformed carbon material (step S104). Pyrolytic carbon is thereafter deposited in the preformed carbon material by the CVI method (step S105) to provide a carbon material having the bulk density varying in a predetermined direction (step S107). After the wettability of the carbon material against copper is improved by siliconization (step S108), pores of the carbon material are impregnated with copper (step S109) to obtain a functionally gradient composite material of copper and carbon.

Title: Automated license plate locator and reader
Inventor: FRAZIER JAMES F
IPC: G06V10/32
Filed: 1994-11-24
Abstract: An automated license plate locator and reader (10) which provides novel methods for 1) correcting for perspective distortion (16), 2) locating the license plate (20), 3) reading the license plate (22) and 4) improving the confidence rating of the output signal (228). The novel method for accommodating a wide range of viewing geometries involves warping the image to eliminate perspective distortion of the plate resulting from roadside camera placement. The novel method for locating plates involves correlating an "idealized" edge template of a license plate with an edge-enhanced version of the image. Edge enhancement and shadow reduction is achieved by applying a Laplacian operator over the input image. Performance is further improved by filtering out distracting edges within the resulting correlation surface and then locating the highest peaks within this filtered correlation surface. The location of the highest peaks provides the location of the plate. The novel method for reading the license plates involves performing a modified binary correlation of an image of the plate with reference characters to provide output signals indicative of the symbols on the plate. This output is correlated with valid license plate signals to improve the confidence rating thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a window winder with a closed cable-type, kinematic chain (6), in which all the traditional items for guiding, driving or tensing the cable have been eliminated, as have the supports and parts which are welded or riveted together. 
     The unit is secured to the vehicle door by tightening three nuts which have been previously arranged on the corresponding bolts or screws fastened to it, thus making the assembly operation extremely easy, being extended to its use in a double rail (1,1') by simply duplicating its kinematic chain and adding the synchronizing element (17-19) between both. 
     There is a rail or quide element (1) along which a drive slide (2) moves. The rail is equipped with a set of end supports (3,4) and the drive slide (2) is connected to a steel cable (6) which travels through these supports, with the ends of the cable connected to a tensioner drum (5) mounted on the rail.

Abstract: In order to obviate the drawbacks of fluid-dynamic character which affect the traditional carburettors equipped with control valves of throttle or of guillotine type, the carburation device (1, 1A, 1B, 1C) provides for the feed duct (6, 6A-6C) to be a tubular portion made of an elastic material constrained at its ends and that at least one pair of relatively movable blades (10) act on said elastic feed duct (6, 6A-6C) on its outer surface, squeezing it in a perpendicular direction relatively to its axis (8). The surface area of the cross-section of the inner bore of said duct (6, 6A-6C) varies taking (relatively to the fuel stream flowing through it) a gradually convergent-divergent shape, i.e., without sharp changes in said inner bore cross-section surface area, and the fuel stream has hence a fluid-dynamically optimal motion independently from the actual revolution speed of the engine.

Abstract: An improved surgical stapling instrument is provided for applying surgical staples to human tissue. The instrument has an articulated stapling head assembly mounted by a rotatable and flexible support shaft on an actuator handle assembly with an improved actuator mechanism for closing and firing the stapling head assembly. The stapling head assembly comprises a fixed jaw with a staple cartridge and a movable jaw with an anvil for clamping the tissue therebetween. The actuator mechanism comprises a jaw closure lever for closing the jaws and a staple firing lever for actuating a staple driver to drive the staples from the staple cartridge into the tissue and against the anvil. The actuator mechanism also includes a cam pulley mounted for rotation by the staple firing lever and secured to a firing cable for actuating the staple driver. A set of drive gears rotatably positioned on opposite sides of the cam pulley mesh with gear sectors on the staple firing lever to rotate the cam pulley and apply tension to the firing cable when the staple firing lever is actuated. The cam pulley has a contoured cam lobe for actuating the firing cable with different mechanical advantages as the pulley is rotated. An anti-backup member engages the cam pulley to prevent the pay-out of the firing cable before and after the staple firing lever is actuated. The length of the support shaft can be adjusted to set the tension in the closure cable so that the jaws are completely closed by the jaw closure lever to produce staples of uniform height when the staple firing lever is actuated.

Abstract: A system for placing a visible "watermark" on a digital image is 
disclosed, wherein an image of the watermark is combined with the 
digital image. The pixels of the watermark image are examined, 
and for each pixel whose value is not a specified "transparent" 
value, the corresponding pixel of the original image is modified 
by changing its brightness but its chromaticities. This results 
in a visible mark which allows the contents of the image to be 
viewed clearly, but which discourages unauthorized use of the 
image.
