Abstract: Apparatuses (10, 100), and methods of using same, for the simultaneous thinning
of the backside surfaces of a plurality of semiconductor wafers (W) using a non-crystallographic
and uniform etching process, are described. The apparatuses (10, 100)
include a fixture (12, 102) having a plurality of horizontal receptacles (14, 16, 18, 20, 104,
106, 108, 110) for receiving the semiconductor wafers (VV). The loaded fixtures (12, 102)
are then immersed into an etchant solution (36, 146) that is capable of isotropically
removing a layer of semiconductor material from the backside surface of the
semiconductor wafers (W). The etchant solution (36, 146) is preferably heated to about
40°C-50°C and constantly stirred with a magnetic stirring bar (48, 158). Once a sufficient
period of time has elapsed, the thinned semiconductor wafers (W) are removed from the
etchant solution (36, 146). The apparatuses (10, 100) are capable of simultaneously
thinning several semiconductor wafers (W) down to a final thickness of about 25 µm.

Abstract: This invention has as its object to eliminate
sensitivity nonuniformity on the plane of an image
sensing element irrespective of exchange of a lens. To
achieve this object, in an image sensing apparatus
which has an image sensing element and can exchange a
lens, a memory stores shading correction coefficients
respectively corresponding to pixels in a
two-dimensional matrix on the plane of the image
sensing element, and a correction device makes a
correction calculation of pixel data read out from each
pixel of the image sensing element by extracting the
shading correction coefficient associated with the
corresponding pixel from those stored in the memory.

Abstract: A PDP apparatus is disclosed in which degradation in image
quality such as display missing points does not occur,
even if the peak luminance is increased. In
the PDP apparatus, the display load ratio of each
subfield is detected and a sustain pulse cycle is changed
according to the display load ratio of each subfield.
Moreover, an adaptive sustain pulse number change means
(29) is provided, which calculates the total amount of
variations in time by summing the variations in time in a
display field caused by the changes in the duration of a sustain pulse
cycle within respective subfields and increases/decreases the number of sustain
pulses of each subfield according to the total amount of
variations in time. The ratio between the different subfields in
respect of the number of sustain pulses is the same after said changes
in the sustain pulse cycles as before said changes having taken place.

Abstract: There are provided a lower sensor (13) and an upper sensor (14)
mounted respectively on top and bottom surfaces of a sensor unit (10), an
operation unit (20) calculating respective measurements indicating the
degree of adhesion of dirt to respective surfaces of a lower mold (1) and an
upper mold (2) based on respective detection signals from the lower sensor

measurement from the operation unit (20) with a predetermined reference
value to transmit a predetermined warning signal if the measurement is
equal to or smaller than the reference value. The warning signal is thus
transmitted if reflected radiation (16, 18) that is radiation (15, 17) reflected
from the mold surface has its intensity equal to or smaller than the reference
value. Accordingly, the degree of adhesion of dirt is quantitatively
evaluated and, the cleaning according to the warning signal allows the
efficiency of resin-molding operation to be enhanced, the resin-molding
operation to be automated and the yield of molded products to be improved.

Abstract: A noise-reduction structure for use with a meshing
gear assembly includes a toothed disk that is supported on
a first gear so as to be frictionally engaged therewith,
but rotationally and radially movable relative thereto.
The circumferential width of each tooth formed on the
toothed disk is preferably larger than the circumferential
width of each tooth formed on the first gear, and the
outer diameter of the toothed disk can be larger than the
outer diameter of the first gear. The first gear and the
toothed disk mesh with a second gear such that as the
second gear rotates, the toothed disk and the first gear
also rotate. However, the toothed disk and the first gear
rotate at different speeds because the difference in the
number of teeth formed thereon. Because the teeth formed
on the toothed disk have a larger circumferential
thickness and a larger outer diameter than the teeth
formed on the first gear, a tight meshing engagement with
the second gear is provided. This tight meshing
engagement, in combination with the frictional engagement
of the toothed disk with the first gear, takes up backlash
between the first gear and the second gear, thereby
reducing the amount of noise that is generated during
operation of the meshing gear assembly.

Abstract: A short-range RF network deployed at a site larger than the coverage area of a single short-range RF transceiver includes a plurality of short-range RF transceivers deployed with overlapping coverage areas and accessible through a gateway, and accommodates terminal devices to establish communication through any transceivers with the gateway or with other of the terminal devices. The system further includes a WAP/Web server in communication with the Internet and in communication with the gateway. Terminal devices may establish Internet sessions through a node, the gateway, the WAP/Web server, and the Internet with remote Web servers or with remote users, and are assigned PPP IP numbers for such sessions. A terminal device which roams from the coverage area of one node to the coverage area of another node, and which is accordingly assigned a new PPP IP number, may continue in an Internet session by virtue of a shared database associated with the WAP/Web server and updated by the gateway. The shared database enables correlation of the terminal device's current location in the network with the PPP IP number by which Internet communications refer to it.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved stent design and stent delivery catheter assembly for repairing a main vessel and a side branch vessel forming a bifurcation. The present invention includes a trap door stent design, a stent delivery catheter assembly, an apparatus for crimping the stent and the method for crimping the stent onto the catheter assembly, and the method for delivering and implanting the stent in a bifurcated vessel. More particularly, the invention relates to a stent having rings aligned along a common longitudinal axis and connected by links, where the stent has a proximal section, a distal section and a central section. The number of rings and the expanded diameter of the sections is varied to create a "trap door" capable of expanding to a slightly larger diameter than the proximal section and distal section of the stent. The stent is implanted at a bifurcation so that the proximal section and distal section are in the main vessel, and the central section covers at least a portion of the opening to the side branch vessel. A second stent can be implanted in the side branch vessel and about the expanded central section to provide full coverage of the bifurcated area in the main vessel and the side branch vessel.

Abstract: The sharp price decrease of storage media enabled users to store more and faster content in contrary to the past. In the near future they will be overwhelmed by the amount of data stored on storage media. Because of the enormous amount of information, they will not be able to index the multimedia content stored manually for later retrieval. Tools to support the users are required. The disadvantage of these algorithms is that they are very expensive in terms of processing power and therefore not feasible for consumer storage devices. The invention proposes an apparatus for content indexing using processing parameters that come available while processing multimedia content. One embodiment of this processing is compression, processing which is performed with almost all multimedia content before it is stored.
