Abstract: A weight estimating system for estimating the weight of a mailpiece and a
postage metering system including such a weight estimating system. The weight
estimating system includes a measuring system, a diverter mechanism and a
microprocessor system. The measuring system includes a transport, a first
plurality of detectors for measuring the dimensions of the mailpiece and a second
plurality of detectors for measuring values of other characteristics of the mailpiece
which are indicative of the presence of non-paper materials in the mailpiece as the
mailpiece is transported. The microprocessor is responsive to the second
detectors to determine if non-paper materials are included in the mailpiece and, if
not, determines the volume from the dimensional measurements and estimates
the weight as the product of the volume and a density for paper output an
appropriate postage amount to the meter and the mailpiece to the printer. The
postage metering system prints the mailpiece with a postal indicium and accounts
for the postage amount expended. Otherwise the microprocessor controls the
diverter mechanism to reject the mailpiece for separate processing.

Abstract: In a roofing washer-dispensing and fastener-driving machine (10), which has a fastener-feeding tube (60), a fastener-engaging pawl (100) is mounted operatively to the tube, near its upper end (62). The pawl is pivotable between a normal position wherein the pawl is arranged to engage a fastener dropped into the tube so as to prevent the fastener from dropping through the tube and a pivoted position wherein the pawl is arranged to disengage from the fastener. An elongate rod (110) is arranged to pivot the pawl from the normal position into the pivoted position when the machine is operated. In the same machine, a magazine (40) adapted to hold a stack of such washers is improved so as to have a bridge (200) mounted pivotably to one of two side walls of the magazine and a cover (210) is mounted adjustably to the bridge, so that the cover in an upwardly adjusted position is inserted into the magazine, above a stack of such washers in the magazine, when the bridge spans the side walls and so that the cover is removed from the magazine when the bridge is pivoted to a position wherein the bridge does not span the side walls. The cover is mounted to the bridge via a rod, along which the cover is movable. In the same machine, a shuttle (50) adapted to be reciprocatingly driven is improved so as to have a transverse groove, in which an elongate brace having a pivot pin at each end is filled by fasteners so as to bear against the leading and trailing edges of the groove, and a transverse rib adapted to engage the lowermost washer in a stack in the magazine is defined by a removable element.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of forming an
FeRAM integrated circuit, which includes performing a capacitor
stack etch to define the FeRAM capacitor. The method comprises
etching a PZT ferroelectric layer (126) with a high temperature
BCl 3  etch which provides substantial selectivity with respect to
the hard mask (299). Alternatively, the PZT ferroelectric layer
is etched using a low temperature fluorine component etch
chemistry such as CHF 3  to provide a non-vertical PZT sidewall
profile. Such a profile prevents conductive material associated
with a subsequent bottom electrode layer etch from depositing on
the PZT sidewall, thereby preventing leakage or a "shorting out"
of the resulting FeRAM capacitor.

Abstract: A light-emitting display device includes a substrate (1) and light-emitting layers constituting pixels on a surface of the substrate in which light emission is electrically controlled for every pixel. The light-emitting display device further includes barriers (10) delimiting at least one side of each pixel. On the surface of the substrate, at least part of a region that corresponds to each pixel has irregularities (9) for light scattering. The difference between the maximum height and the minimum height of the irregularities is at least 0.4 µm. The barriers and the irregularities are formed by sandblasting the surface of the substrate. The irregularities reduce attenuation of light by total reflection in the interior of the substrate and improve brightness of the device.
