Patent EP-0625804-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UENO MASAKAZU C O FUJI ELECTRI
IPC: H01L31/108
Filed: 1994-05-17
Abstract: Described is a semiconductor optical sensor comprising an amorphous carbon layer (2) and a transparent electrode (3) on one side of a semiconductor substrate (1) and an ohmic electrode (5) on the other side of the semiconductor substrate (1) wherein a rectifying junction is formed between said carbon layer and said semiconductor substrate. The carbon layer having a relatively high resistivity substantially suppresses a leakage current otherwise occurring under reverse bias, and at the same time serves as a protective layer. A preferred method of forming the amorphous carbon layer (2) on the semiconductor substrate (1) is by decomposition of ethyl alcohol in a DC plasma CVD process.
Patent EP-0631251-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ONITAKE MIYUKI
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1994-06-20
Abstract: A graphics correction method is applicable to graphic-element data comprising a plurality of line segments and circular arcs. When graphic elements that should originally be interconnected cross or become separated from each other, the offset between graphic elements is corrected automatically. This saves a great amount of time in comparison with that needed for redrawing of the graphic elements. The method includes a topology recognition step of recognizing the topology of the graphic elements, a geometric-parameter alteration step of correcting the offset of graphic elements by altering geometric parameters, which define each graphic element, with regard to all graphic elements while maintaining the topology thereof, and an end-point decision step of deciding end points accompanied by enlargement/reduction of the graphic elements. The method may further include a parameter-setting step of setting a connection parameter, which is necessary in order to obtain at least the connected state between graphic elements, and a maximum amount of alteration of the geometric parameters of the graphic elements, or an error-information output step of outputting error information generated at the geometric-parameter alteration step.

Abstract: A register file 23 connected to a data memory 27 and an arithmetic logic unit 25 for temporary storage of operands, and a method of managing such register file 23 permits the register file 23 to be used to maximum efficiency, and permits rapid task and context switching. Each register of the register file 23 has an absolute address. A relative register address is read from the address field of he instruction being executed by the ALU 25, and an arithmetic calculation is performed on that relative register address and a register to be accessed. Different sets of registers 51, 52, 53 may be designated for different tasks or contexts. Each set of registers has its own base address. Once the task or context to which the instruction applies is determined, a calculation using the relative address from the instruction address field, and the corresponding register set base address may be performed to obtain the absolute address of the register to be accessed. Registers assigned to a different task or context may be virtually immediately accessed, or a set of registers for a particular task or context may be moved within the registers for a particular task or context may be moved within the register file without affecting the instructions being executed by the ALU 25, by simply changing the base address used in the address computation.

IPC: A61B5/12

Abstract: In a method for testing the reflex of the stapedius, stimulus tone of varying intensity is generated, and one ear of the test subject is subjected to it. The reaction of the stapedius to this stimulus tone is probed. 
     When the intensity of the stimulus tone exceeds the stimulus threshold of the stapedius reflex, the latter is triggered, which has measurable effects on e.g. the eardrum. 
     By varying the intensity of the stimulus tone in such a manner that the degree of contraction of the stapedius is essentially maintained or increased, the test will take much less time than has hitherto been possible. 
     The stimulus tone can be continuous, in which case its intensity is varied according to an increasing function, or be a pulse signal, in which case the interval between the pulses is so brief that the stapedius has no time to relax between the pulses. 
     A device for implementing the method is also disclosed.

The arms (10, 12) are arranged such that a pivotal movement of the operating member (2) about a pivot axis (A, B) causes one of the connecting portions (10a, 12a) to move in a direction parallel to the reference axis (C). The operating member (2) includes a ball joint (5) fixed to the lever (3), the centre of which coincides with the point of intersection of the pivot axes (A, B). The reference axis (C) also passes through the centre of the ball joint (5).

Abstract: Methodology and apparatus are described which employ an improved modular service station (16) design wherein a printhead-servicing sled (20) is selectively vertically driven to effect execution of servicing tasks. In keeping with its desired modularity, the sled (20) is made readily removable using an improved clamp and sled (20) arrangement. The sled (20) is driven by a unique drive system (30) such drive system (30) being capable of effectively selectively stalling or locking instrumentality such as the sled (20) in various positions defined along its path of vertical movement. To save time and space, both the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) and the servicing mechanism such as the wipers (24 a , 24 b ) and the caps (22 a , 22 b ) are moved so as to place them in proper relative positions for execution of a task. Precise relative positions of the servicing mechanism and the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) are achieved and maintained during the course of a servicing task such as printhead capping by employment of an improved printhead registration system (30) which limits relative rotation between the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) and the servicing mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of diminishing ground bounce in integrated circuits (300). Two separate techniques are used simultaneously to diminish the problem of ground bounce. First, impedance (470, 480) is placed between a power source bus (340) on the integrated circuit and an external power source (310); and between a ground bus (330) on the chip and an external ground (310). This effectively dampens ground bounce oscillations in the power and ground leads of the chip. Secondly, capacitance is dynamically added to the pre-drive of an output buffer (510) with a capacitance node. Dynamic digital sizing is utilized in both techniques and therefore both techniques are responsive to the changing performance variations within the chip.

Abstract: A device for improving thermal transfer inside an ultrasound probe and reducing heat build-up near the transducer face. The cable components (40) are used as heat pipes which conduct heat out of the probe handle (14). These heat pipes are coupled to an internal heat pipe (36) which is in heat conductive relationship with the transducer pallet (2). Thus, heat generated by the transducer array can be transferred, via the internal heat pipe plate and the cable heat pipes, away from the probe surface which contacts the patient. A heat conductive structure can be embedded in the overall shield braid of the cable (16). Suitable heat conductive structures include thread or wire made of material having a high coefficient of thermal conductivity, as well as narrow tubing filled with heat conductive fluid. Alternatively, inlet and return flow paths for cooling fluid are incorporated in the cable. The inlet and return flow paths inside the cable are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of a flow path which is in heat conductive relationship with the heat pipe in the probe handle.
