Abstract: An axial flow fan with a BLDC motor for electronic
appliances is disclosed. The axial flow fan of this invention
is optimally designed in axial height(S) of both the
blades(55) and the fan housing(57), the number of blades (55),
diameter ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of
the blades(55), camber ratio, pitch angle and sweep angle of
the blades (55). 
     The blades(55) have an axial height(S) higher than that
of the fan housing (5-7) , with a leading surface of the
blades(55) being placed outside the surface of the fan
housing(57) at a position higher than the surface of the fan
housing(57) by a predetermined projection height(P), thus
increasing an air volume of the fan. In addition, the number
of the blades(55) is eight, with a diameter ratio of the inner
diameter to the outer diameter of the fan being 0.40 ∼ 0.45,
thus reducing operational noise of the fan.

Abstract: An optical disc discrimination apparatus and method can
discriminate a type of a disc loaded on a DVD-RAM drive
accurately and simply. The optical disc discrimination
apparatus includes a RF envelope generator (13) for
generating an envelope signal from a RF signal read from a
loaded disc at an off-track state, when only a focusing is
accomplished prior to performing a tracking control, an
envelope amplitude detector (22) for detecting the
amplitude of the detected envelope signal, and a disc
discriminator (24) for comparing the amplitude of the
detected envelope signal with predetermined reference
level and discriminating whether the disc is a CD, a DVD-ROM,
or a DVD-RAM, based on the comparison result. Thus,
a type of the disc can be discriminated simply and
accurately with a change in the amplitude of the RF
signal.

Abstract: An inorganic insulating film 103 of SiC is formed on a
fluorine-containing carbon film 102 by a chemical vapor
deposition process using SiF 4  and C 2 H 4  as source gases. By using
SiF 4  and CF 4  containing no hydrogen (H) as source gases, H inhibited
from being incorporated into the inorganic insulating film 103
forming a hard mask 113. Thus, H having diffused outwardly from
the inorganic insulating film 103 is bonded to fluorine (F) in
the fluorine-containing carbon film 102 to form HF which inhibits
the corrosion of the inorganic insulating film 103 and so forth.
Thus, it is possible to inhibit the deterioration of the adhesion
of the hard mask 113 formed of the inorganic insulating film 103
to other layers, such as the fluorine-containing carbon film 102.

L'unité de calcul échantillon-pixel peut sélectivement ajuster le filtrage des échantillons stockés pour réduire les artéfacts, elle peut par exemple être utilisée pour ajuster sélectivement le filtrage des échantillons stockés dans des séquences voisines pour réduire les artéfacts entre les séquences voisines. L'ajustement du filtre peut être effectué lorsque l'unité de calcul échantillon-pixel génère des pixels de sortie à la même vitesse que le processeur graphique envoyant des échantillons au tampon d'échantillonnage, ou à une vitesse différente (supérieure par exemple) à la vitesse de rendu.
