Abstract: A method and apparatus for fabricating a phase-change
recording medium for depositing particles of phase-change
recording material onto a substrate to form a phase-change
recording layer thereon. Here, a disk-like substrate is
loaded into a vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber is filled
with sputtering gas, and then the substrate is rotate.
Sputtering particles struck out of a sputtering target are
deposited onto the substrate to form a phase-change
recording layer. When the sputtering particles are
deposited on the substrate up to a predetermined thickness,
a crystallization energy supply mechanism irradiates the
sputtering-particle-deposited substrate with a laser beam
having energy necessary for initial crystallization.
Alternatively, the crystallization energy supply mechanism
irradiates a just-formed phase-change recording layer with
a laser beam having energy necessary for initial
crystallization.

second inverter/rectifier (20, 22) for controlling a current output of the second
inverter/rectifier (20, 22) as a function of a position of the speed control member
(62). Also included is an operator controlled foot pedal (50) and a transducer (52)
coupled to the foot pedal (50) and generating a signal representing foot pedal
position which is supplied to the controller (21, 23). The controller (21, 23) limits
current supplied by the second inverter/rectifier (20, 22) to the traction
motor/generator (24, 28) to a limit current as a function of the transducer signal.
The controller (21, 23), foot pedal (52) and transducer (52) cooperate to vary the
limit current in response to movement of the foot pedal (50). A spring (54) biases
the foot pedal (50) to an upper limit position. The controller (21, 23) causes the
second inverter/rectifier (20, 22) to supply to the traction motor/generator (24, 28) a
maximum amount of current, (such maximum current being a function of the foot
pedal position), but not more than that required to achieve the speed commanded
by the speed control (62).

IPC: H01R103/00
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: A coaxial type connector has largely rectangular cross-sections, with an
outer contact width that is much larger than its height. As a result, the impedance
is lowest in primary sectors that extend between the inner contact (20) and
top and bottom inside surfaces of the outer conductor (24), while the impedance
is highest in secondary sectors that extend horizontally from the inner conductor
to each side of the outer conductor. Applicant maintains a largely constant impedance
at the primary sectors, while allowing changes in impedance at the
secondary sectors as by cutouts (60, 160) in insulation at the secondary sectors
for receiving retention tabs. As a result of the largely rectangular shape, the
center contact can be formed of sheet metal of constant height and of a width
that can vary to provide enlargements for retention and for mating at the front
end of the connector, with minimal overall impedance change.

Abstract: An expert proxy server is described that is coupled to a number of wireless devices
through a wireless network, and to a number of server computer systems through an
external network such as, for example, the Internet. The expert proxy server acts as an
agent for a wireless device by providing a service for the wireless device. Specifically, the
expert proxy server determines that a service is to be provided to the wireless device.
Next, the expert proxy server identifies an application that provides the service and then
communicates with the identified application that provides the service. The expert proxy
server compiles the results of the communication with the application and then transmits
the compilation to the wireless device over the wireless network. Thus, the relatively
smaller bandwidth of the wireless network is preserved by transmitting a minimal amount
of information over the wireless network while leaving more extensive communications to
occur over higher bandwidth external networks. Also, since the extensive processing
occurs at the expert proxy server rather than at the wireless device, the application on the
wireless device may be simplified and smaller as compared to the supporting applications
on the expert proxy server thereby preserving the limited memory and processing
capability of the wireless device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de coupler une puissance optique sensible à une fibre optique depuis le côté sans encombrer les extrémités de la fibre. Une fibre optique spéciale possédant un milieu de gain comprenant de préférence des dopants à base de terres rares dans le noyau est conçue pour transporter des signaux optiques d'information et pour amplifier les signaux d'information lorsque le milieu de gain est stimulé par la lumière de pompage. Des parties de lancement sont choisies à des intervalles situés le long de la fibre spéciale, des boucles d'absorption étant situées entre ces intervalles. Ces parties de lancement sont dépouillées jusqu'à leur couche de métallisation intérieure et sont positionnées les unes à proximité des autres sur un bloc de support afin de former une zone de lancement qui est convexe vers le haut. Le bloc de support présente une surface à faible indice de réfraction vers la fibre. La lumière de pompage est focalisée au moyen d'un dispositif optique approprié dans un port de lancement, lequel présente un indice de réfraction correspondant sensiblement à celui de la couche de métallisation et est optiquement couplé aux parties de lancement adjacentes. Le port de lancement guide la lumière de pompage dans les parties de lancement dans une direction généralement parallèle à la tangente des axes de la partie de lancement. Lorsque la lumière de pompage se déplace le long de la fibre spéciale dans les boucles d'absorption situées entre les parties de lancement, elle est absorbée de manière significative par le milieu de gain dans le noyau porteur du signal. Par conséquent, elle génère la lumière de signalisation dans le noyau ou amplifie la lumière de signalisation existante.
