Inventor: SAKAI TAKASHI
IPC: G03G15/02
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A charging device is designed in the following
manner. Firstly, an optimization of the shape and
size of an MC case is performed based on a film
thickness and process speed of a photoreceptor (S1).
Then, optimization of grid conditions (S2), saw-tooth
conditions (S3), a distribution ratio of discharge
current (S4) and a grid voltage (S5) are performed
respectively, and a minimization of the discharge
current is performed (S6). Lastly, surrounding
conditions are taken into consideration (S7). The
order of performing the processes in S1~S6 is not
specified. By designing the charging device so as to
have at least one feature obtained by the processes in
S2-S7, a stable discharging operation, a uniform
charging operation on the surface of the
photoreceptor, reduction in amount of ozone generated
when discharging, and reduced size and cost of the
charging device can be achieved, and the charging
device can be designed effectively in a short period
of time.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing liquid-handling parameters for liquid-handling
instruments based on automated use of Design of Experiments principles. An
automated factor screening experiment generates a fractional factorial design,
creates a set of liquid classes, directs a pipetting control program to execute a
worklist of pipetting commands, and performs an effects analysis to determine the
factors affecting pipetting precision. An automated response surface methodology
experiment based on a central composite experimental design is used to determine
the optimal level of factors affecting precision of pipetting. An automated range-finding
experiment determines the useful volume range of the liquid class so
developed. An automated accuracy calibration experiment generates a calibration
coefficient for the liquid class. An automated liquid class verification experiment
then evaluates the precision and accuracy of the liquid class.

Abstract: A frame-rate converting device in a moving picture decoder which realizes a
smooth display of pictures at a frame rate of 30 Hz or 60 Hz based on stream data whose
frame rate of 24 Hz is provided. A control section (21) performs a 3:2 pull-down
processing (S4) when the output frame rate is 24 Hz (S1) and when a re-display of
picture is indicated (S3). When a re-display of picture is not indicated, the control
section (21) detects that the picture is of a progressive material (S5), and repeats one
field every two frames (S6). When the picture is not a progressive material, the control
section (21) determines whether the top and the bottom of the picture are of the same
time instant (S7) and repeats one field every two frames when they are of the same time
instant (S9) but repeats one frame every four frames when they are not of the same time
instant (S8).

Abstract: An outboard motor (1) includes a first casing (3)
and a second casing (4) disposed below the first casing.
The first casing houses therein an oil pan (8) and an
upper part of a drive shaft (10). Within the oil pan,
engine oil is held. The second casing has its upper
edge portion (4a) coupled to a lower edge portion (3a)
of the first casing. The second casing has a vertical
wall (23) disposed therewithin. The vertical wall
separates a space within the second casing into a cavity
(25) and part (24) of an exhaust passage through which
exhaust gas passes. The cavity is formed below the oil
pan. This arrangement prevents the oil pan from being
affected by heat of the exhaust gas. Thus, it becomes
possible to prevent the engine oil held within the oil
pan from increasing in temperature.

Abstract: The present invention is characterized by that, when
content data are distributed from an information center
via a predetermined communication line to a terminal
apparatus loaded with a recording medium recorded with
its identifier and prepaid information, the information
center manages the usable remaining amount of money in
the recording medium loaded in the terminal apparatus
and updates this usable remaining amount of money every
time content data are distributed. Further, if the
usable remaining amount of money is smaller than the
price of the content data distributed from the
information center, the information center instructs the
terminal apparatus to load another recording medium
having a usable remaining amount of money enough for
covering the content data to be distributed. Still
further, a remaining recordable capacity of a recording
medium loaded in the terminal apparatus is transmitted
from the same to the information center. The
information center compares the remaining recordable
capacity with the size of the data content to be
distributed. If the remaining recordable capacity is
smaller than the size of the content data, the
information center instructs the terminal apparatus to
load a new recording medium having a recordable capacity
enough for the content data to be distributed.

Abstract: Nonvolatile semiconductor memory has a memory cell array (10) in which memory
cell currents (IMC) flowing through memory cells (MC1,2) of the memory cell array (10) in
reading data are compared with reference currents (IREF1,2) that are set in accordance with
the wiring widths of word lines (WL1,2) connected to these memory cells (MC1,2). The
logic levels of data retained in the memory cells (MC1,2) are detected depending on whether
the memory cell currents (IMC) are larger or smaller than the reference currents (IREF1,2).
Setting a plurality of reference currents (IREF1,2) for every wiring width of word lines allows
the reference currents (IREF1,2) to be set at optimum values for each memory cell (MC1,2)
having different gate widths. Since the reference currents (IREF1,2) are set according to the
characteristic of memory cells (MC1,2), read margins improve for enhanced reliability in
read operations.

Abstract: This is in the general field of surgical instruments and is specifically a delivery catheter with a flexible, proximally-manipulated hinge or joint region. The inventive catheter may have a balloon region. The catheter may have a shaft of varying flexibility which contains several lumen. The inner, or delivery, lumen generally may be used with a guidewire to access target sites within the body via the flexible, small diameter vessels of the body. The delivery lumen may be also used for placement of occlusive materials, e.g., in an aneurysm. Inflation of the micro-balloon, located near the distal tip of the catheter, is effected using the inflation lumen. The push/pull wire lumen contains a wire, which when manipulated, flexes the catheter's distal tip. The push/pull wire tubing may have a variable thickness to aid in adjusting the degree of flexibility. Moreover, the delivery catheter may be capable of twisting in a helical or corkscrew-like manner for traversing certain vasculature. This may be accomplished by winding the push/pull wire within the catheter and fixedly attaching it. The catheter may further include an entry in the catheter wall to allow for the insertion of a guidewire; this may facilitate the rapid exchange of catheter devices as desired by the user.

Abstract: The invention provides semiconductor materials including a gallium nitride material layer formed on a silicon substrate and methods to form the semiconductor materials. The semiconductor materials include a transition layer formed between the silicon substrate and the gallium nitride material layer. The transition layer is compositionally-graded to lower stresses in the gallium nitride material layer which can result from differences in thermal expansion rates between the gallium nitride material and the substrate. The lowering of stresses in the gallium nitride material layer reduces the tendency of cracks to form. Thus, the invention enables the production of semiconductor materials including gallium nitride material layers having few or no cracks. The semiconductor materials may be used in a number of microelectronic and optical applications.
