Patent EP-0829526-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIYAMA SHINICHI
IPC: C09K19/02
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: The first smectic liquid crystal composition of the invention has a voltage gradation parameter L of less than 0.6, said parameter being defined by the equation            L = S       H           /S       O              with the proviso that: a liquid crystal cell filled with a liquid crystal composition is placed between a pair of polarizing plates arranged in the crossed Nicols state; a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell to form a hysteresis curve showing a correlation between the voltage and a transmittance; and a tangent line I R  of the hysteresis curve within a region wherein the transmittance steeply increases intersects a tangent line I F  of the hysteresis curve within a region which is adjacent to the voltage-steep increase region and which is on the higher-voltage side at an intersection point P. In the above equation, S O  is an area of a rectangular triangle having as an oblique side a straight line PQ which has, as both ends, the intersection point P and an intersection point Q of an axis of ordinate (V = 0) and the hysteresis curve; and S H  is an area of a region enclosed with the straight line PQ, the hysteresis curve and a constant-voltage straight line which passes the intersection point P. The second liquid crystal composition of the invention has a parameter G of 0 to 0.3, said parameter G being defined by the following equation with the proviso that when an absolute value |V| of a voltage V applied in the same manner as described above is increased to the predetermined value |V| min , the light quantity T becomes a maximum value T max ;       G =            T       max           /2-T       min               T       max           /2-T       0            ×        S           (T       max           -T       min           ) × |V|       min            .           
     In the above equation, S is an area of a region enclosed with the hysteresis curve, T min  is a minimum value of the transmittance; and T 0  is a transmittance given when no voltage is applied.

Abstract: A method for reprocessing an ozone-containing gas present in a pulp bleaching plant comprising the steps of supplying the ozone-containing gas to a scrubber and reducing the ozone concentration of the gas as the gas flows through the scrubber. The step of reducing comprises the steps of supplying an alkaline medium to the scrubber and flowing the ozone-containing gas in countercurrent relationship with the alkaline medium within the scrubber so as to provide intimate contact between the ozone-containing gas and the alkaline medium, thereby converting the ozone-containing gas into a substantially ozone-free gas. The alkaline medium may comprise one of the following: a sodium hydroxide solution; white liquor; post oxygen stage filtrate; weak black liquor; or filtrate from an Eo stage of the pulp bleaching plant. The method further comprises the step of separately discharging the ozone-containing gas and the alkaline medium from the scrubber. The ozone-containing gas may comprise an off-gas, which has been partially reacted with a pulp within a pulp bleaching stage or alternatively may comprise fresh bleaching gas, having an ozone concentration ranging from about 6 % to about 14 % by weight within a carrier gas, with the fresh bleaching gas being supplied directly from an ozone generator to the scrubber.

Abstract: A method of encoding & decoding a digital picture, an apparatus using
the same method, and a storage media using the same are provided. The
method can encode efficiently each of divided regions having an arbitrary
shape, and at the same time, reproduce a region selectively. The digital
picture encoding apparatus comprises an input terminal, region division
means, region overlaying order determination means, and encoding means.
The region division means divides the picture into plural regions having an
arbitrary shape, and produces a division map. The region overlaying order
determination means receives the division map, and determines the
overlaying order of each region according to a predetermined method. Then,
the encoding means encodes a luminance signal, a color difference signal and
a shape signal of each region according to the overlaying order. Before
encoding an objective region, an adjacent part of the shape of the objective
region to the upper priority region is changed so that an amount of coded data
is minimized.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a resist pattern is formed on a lower layer pattern of a semiconductor substrate using a mask. An image signal along a line extending on the lower layer pattern and the resist pattern is generated by an optical system. Based on the image signal, a center position of the resist pattern and a center position of the lower layer pattern are calculated using correlation calculation and an overlay error of the resist pattern to the lower layer pattern is determined. When the overlay error falls within a predetermined range, a next manufacturing process such as an etching process and an ion implantation process to the semiconductor substrate is executed. When the overlay error does not falls within a predetermined range, the resist pattern is removed, and a relative position between the semiconductor substrate and the mask is adjusted. Thereafter, the above steps are repeated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau de télécommunications qui enregistre des données identifiant des lieux géographiques, et/ou concerne des types de réseaux associés à des codes de numérotation. Si un client demande d'identifier le lieu auquel se rapporte un code composé, il peut composer un code d'accès à un service et une série de messages d'interrogation vocaux incitent à fournir des chiffres identifiant des zones. Des machines parlantes sont utilisées pour effectuer le décodage des données et obtenir ainsi le nom de la zone et, si d'autres renseignements sont disponibles, pour obtenir un lieu géographique plus spécifique indiqué par exemple par le nom d'une ville. De plus, en fonction de l'emplacement du client, des informations concernant la date du jour et les zones de tarification relatives au code composé, le client peut être informé du coût potentiel des communications. Selon une autre réalisation, le client peut recevoir des informations sur l'identification du code postal et de l'adresse relatifs à un numéro de téléphone connu. Et également, en fonction des informations réseau, les clients ont la possibilité de choisir la demande de confirmation d'une communication avant établissement de la liaison après numérotation, par exemple pour des numéros de service mobile, international ou kiosque.

Abstract: A wall surface absorption type moving device applicable to inspection and maintenance of large scale iron constructions is allowed to
be reliably absorbed to a running surface, while a permanent magnet is prevented from interfering with an obstacle when the device gets over
the obstacle on the wall surface, and while the increase of the weight and the scale of the device is prevented, too. The device is
characterized by a moving body (5) for running on a wall surface (30) made of a magnetic material, permanent magnets (2a, 2b), driving
mechanisms (1a, 1b) for approaching and separating the permanent magnets (2a, 2b) to and from the wall surface (30), sensors (19a, 19b) for
detecting the positions of the permanent magnets (2a, 2b) in the approaching/separating direction, sensors (3a, 3b) for detecting the
absorption force of the permanent magnets on the wall surface and an absorption mechanism (40a, 40b) characterized by sensors (17a to
18b) for detecting any obstacle on the wall surface (30). When the permanent magnets (2a, 2b) are judged as being likely to interfere with the
obstacle on the basis of the detection information from each sensor, control is so made as to generate necessary wall surface absorption force
by the same of the wall surface absorption force (2a, 2b) of the permanent magnets in each absorption mechanism (40a, 40b) to avoid the
interference.
