Patent EP-1477230-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MURATA K
IPC: B82B3/00
Filed: 2003-02-20
Abstract: An ultrafine fluid jet apparatus comprising a
substrate arranged near a distal end of an ultrafine-diameter
nozzle to which a solution is supplied, and an
optional-waveform voltage is applied to the solution in
the nozzle to eject an ultrafine-diameter fluid droplet
onto a surface of the substrate; wherein an electric field
intensity near the distal end of the nozzle according to a
diameter reduction of the nozzle is sufficiently larger
than an electric field acting between the nozzle and the
substrate; and wherein Maxwell stress and an electrowetting
effect being utilized, a conductance is decreased
by a reduction in the nozzle diameter or the like, and
controllability of an ejection rate by a voltage is
improved; and wherein landing accuracy is exponentially
improved by moderation of evaporation by a charged droplet
and acceleration of the droplet by an electric field.

IPC: H04M1/72403
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: A mobile wireless device programmed with software which provides a trusted user interface for the device by allowing the content of a secure screen memory to be modifiable only by authorised applications. Normally, the entire screen memory address is public information, making the entire screen memory fully available to any application; hence, even sensitive dialogs would use screen memory which can in theory be looked at by malicious software, enabling that malicious code to grab PIN data etc. or corrupt a trusted user interface. But with the present invention, unauthorised applications are prevented from accessing the data displayed by the secure frame buffer because they are able to access only the non-secure screen memory. Hence, malicious applications cannot retrieve data from a trusted dialog or compromise that data. Further, as the present invention is a software only solution, it requires no new hardware per se-the only requirement is that components (e.g. a software window server; a video chip etc.) can select content from different parts of screen memory-i.e. secure and non-secure frame buffers.

Abstract: The invention relates to producing an optical memory which combines stability of written and non-written data with high writing speed and good sensitivity during writing, such an optical memory as well as a method of writing in such a memory. The optical memory has a liquid crystal (LC) layer with a first type of LC molecules (102) aligned in one direction, forming a polymer network (108), and a second type of LC molecules (104) oriented in a perpendicular direction, in which the orientation of said second type of LC molecules is meta-stable. By making use of a force, exerted on the second type of LC molecules (104), by the network of aligned crosslinked molecules, an increase in relaxation rate for the second type of molecules (104) from a meta-stable state of orientation, is achieved, which makes it possible to use said relaxation for writing data at an increased writing rate.
