Patent EP-1314974-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OSHIUMI AKIRA
IPC: G01R31/309
Filed: 2002-11-22
Abstract: A circuit board with lead-free solder is inspected by using light sources with
different colors at different angles to obtain an image having a plurality of color
components. For each pixel within an area in the obtained image, the brightness of a
white component generated by mixing all of the color components is extracted. The
brightness of each of the color components of each pixel is reduced by an amount
corresponding to the extracted brightness of the white component and is adjusted such
that the brightest of the color components becomes more strongly emphasized compared
to the others, than the brightness before the brightness-reducing process was carried out
and the loss in total brightness caused by the brightness-reducing process is restored. The
image with restored brightness is displayed and the surface condition of the solder is
judged on the basis of the distributions of the color components of this image.

to determine an estimated value for the round trip time
probe-receiver. (RTTpr);   a2) comparing the timestamps of the sequence of acknowledgements with
the timestamps of the packets received by the probe after the acknowledgements
to determine an estimated value for the round trip time
probe-sender (RTTps);     b) Adding the estimated values for the round trip time probe receiver and the

in cardiovascular disease and the cardiovascular training device used by
the patient. This  monitoring loop  is materialized either by a
 memory card or an Internet connection , which connects two
programs, one on the doctor's computer desktop and the second into the
training device itself. There a  minimum steps  to be done for the
doctor and for the patient.
   1. The doctor  customizes  a training program for his patient
based on the  target heart rate , which he then  uploads  on
the memory card or directly into the training device via internet.   2. The patient  plugs  the memory card into the training device
(or connects to the Internet), puts on a heart rate controller and has
only  a few indications  to follow on the LCD screen (e.g. begin
cycling, speed up or down, session is finished). The training device
 sets automatically the load  according to the training profile and
the target heart rate and  uploads back  the sessions parameters on the
memory card.   3. After a series of sessions the patient returns to the doctor that
can now download the information (on the card or via the Internet). This
 monitoring loop  will help the doctor to check if the scheduled
program has been followed correctly and to adjust the following sessions
according to the evolution of the medical parameters of the patient and

Inventor: NAGAI SEIJI
IPC: C30B25/18

Abstract: When a substrate layer (desired semiconductor crystal)
made of a group III nitride compound is grown on a base
substrate comprising a lot of projection parts, a cavity in
which a semiconductor crystal is not deposited may be formed
between each projection part although it depends on
conditions such as the size of each projection part,
arranging interval between each projection part and crystal
growth. So when the thickness of the substrate layer is
sufficiently larger compared with the height of the
projection part, inner stress or outer stress become easier
to act intensively to the projection part. As a result, such
stress especially functions as shearing stress toward the
projection part. When the shearing stress becomes larger,
the projection part is ruptured. So utilizing the shearing
stress enables to separate the base substrate and the
substrate layer easily. The larger the cavities are formed,
the more stress tends to concentrate to the projection parts,
to thereby enable to separate the base substrate and the
substrate layer more securely. 
     A reaction prevention layer is formed to prevent Si
from reacting with a gallium nitride group semiconductor. By
forming a reaction prevention layer (monocrystalline material
B) made of a material which has a higher melting point or
thermal stability than that of a gallium nitride group
semiconductor (semiconductor crystal A), e.g., SiC and AlN, 
on a base substrate (Si substrate), a reaction part described
above is not formed around silicon interface when the gallium
nitride group semiconductor (semiconductor crystal A) is
grown by crystal growth for a long time. By forming a lot of
projection parts, the gallium nitride group semiconductor
(semiconductor crystal A) also grows in lateral direction
starting from a flat-top portion of the projection part.
Then stress between the reaction prevention layer and the
semiconductor crystal A is remarkably relaxed. Because
cracks which penetrate in longitudinal direction are hardly
generated on the reaction prevention layer and the Si
substrate can be completely interrupted by the reaction
prevention layer, reaction preventing effect becomes more
secure. 
     A seed layer comprising a GaN layer 103 (second seed
layer) and an AlN buffer layer 102 (first seed layer) is
formed on a sapphire substrate 101 and then the surface of
the seed layer is etched in stripe pattern whose width of a
stripe (width S of a seed) ≒ 5µm, width W of a wing ≒ 15µm
and depth ≒ 0.5µm. Then mesas each of whose sectional form
is a rectangular are formed, each erosion remains part having
plural numbers of seed layers at its flat-top portion is
formed at arrangement period L ≒ 20µm and a portion of the
sapphire substrate 101 is exposed at the valley part of each
wing. Preferably ratio of width of a seed toward a wing, or
S/W, may be about 1/3. Then by growing the semiconductor
crystal A to have thickness of 50µm or more and by separating 
it from base substrate, a single crystal of high quality
which is independent from the base substrate is obtained.

Title: Technique for optimizing the delivery of advertisements and otherprogramming segments by making bandwidth tradeoffs
Inventor: CRISTOFALO MICHAEL G
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A technique for optimizing the delivery of a multiplicity of advertisements and other programming (402) is providing by trading off full-motion video (404) for other forms of high quality still images, text, graphics and audio (406). By creating a group of synchronized digital programming components (408), for example, still-frame video, audio, graphics, text, animation, and media objects, which combined (416) utilize less bandwidth than a standard digital programming segment of full-motion video with CD quality audio, a greater number of differentiable programming content options can be made available in the digital transmission stream (418). Because of the greatly expanded amount of differentiable content that can be created using the bandwidth tradeoff techniques, greater precision in targeting particular content, such as advertisements, to particular users is possible. The invention also contemplates the system requirements, both hardware and software, for a digital programming transmission center and for user's receiver, necessary to implement the bandwidth tradeoff methodology.

Abstract: An antenna diversity arrangement is applicable to frequency hopping receiver (34) for receiving data packets transmitted on frequency channels lying within an overall frequency bandwidth, divided into a plurality of sub-bands. In each sub-band the frequency characteristics of the channel will be substantially the same. The choice of antenna (10, 12) for a particular sub-band is done by carrying-out frequency diversity measurements and the selection is treated as being valid for a period of time which may be preset or determined dynamically. In operation the hopping sequence is known to the receiver so that it can determine in advance the frequency of the next data packet to be received and can select the particular antenna without the necessity of carrying out diversity measurements. At the end of the time period the suitability of the selected antenna is checked and if necessary the selection is updated in the receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for scheduling data for transmission via at least two half-duplex time division multiple access connections, wherein for each connection respective capacities of data portions to a transmission frame are allocated so that the total capacity of all data portions of the transmission frame does not exceed a predetermined capacity for each transmission direction, and that the sum of capacities of data portions of each connection of the transmission frame in both transmission directions does not exceed the predetermined capacity. Then, the transmission timing of the data portions within the transmission frame is set in such a manner that transmission and reception intervals of each connection do not overlap. Accordingly, scheduling can be optimized to meet both QoS and half-duplex requirements.
