Inventor: SMITH NEIL C O EASTMAN KODAK C
IPC: G01R33/09
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: A giant magnetoresistance-dual magnetoresistance sensor or reproduce head (GMR-DMR) (10) comprising multilayers of alternating magnetic and nonmagnetic thin film layers (16), (18), (20), (22), (24) arranged such that sets of N sandwiched magnetic and nonmagnetic film layers are formed on either side of the center-most, conductive, nonmagnetic or magnetic film layer (26), so that the layered structure operates in the fashion of a dual magnetoresistive sensor or reproduce head and exhibits giant magnetoresistance. Preferably the outer-most magnetic layers (16), (18) are of a thickness that differs from the remaining magnetic film layers (20) in order to reduce self-bias level variance between the outermost and innermost magnetic film layers (16), (18), (20). Sense current flow through the GMR-DMR structure is induced by sensed magnetic fields and generated giant magnetoresistance changes are detected as head output voltage variations.

Abstract: The communication system is composed of a mobile transmitter (FS) and a receiver (FE). The transmitter generates a radio signal which is detected by the receiver to produce a signal of the reception field strength corresponding to the distance of the transmitter w.r.t. the receiver. The reception field strength level is compared to a predetermined level corresponding to a predetermined distance. A signal is generated at the receiver when the reception level is below the preset level, to notify that the distance of the transmitter is greater than the predetermined distance value. The receiver may be held by an adult while the transmitter is attached to a child under supervision. The signal is pref. an acoustic warning.

Abstract: To the surface of a semiconductor substrate made of silicon, isopropenoxytrimethylsilane is supplied as a surface treating agent to render the surface of the semiconductor substrate hydrophobic and increase adhesion to the semiconductor substrate. Thus, Si(CH 3 ) 3  (trimethylsilyl group) is substituted for the hydrogen atom of an OH group on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, resulting in (CH 3 ) 2 CO (acetone). Subsequently, a chemically amplified resist is applied to the surface of the semiconductor substrate and exposed to light by using a desired mask, followed sequentially by PEB and development for forming a pattern. Since the surface treating agent does not generate ammonia, there can be formed a pattern in excellent configuration with no insoluble skin layer formed thereon.

Title: Bar code reader

IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: A bar code reader has two reading windows, i.e., a bottom window (5) and a side window (4). An increased number of scanning lines are used for constituting scanning patterns for scanning bar codes, and the arrangement of the optical system is contrived to decrease the whole size of the bar code reader and, particularly, to decrease the depth of the bar code reader. A source (21) of laser light, a splitter (22) for splitting the laser beam emitted from the laser light source into two, a reflection mirror (23, 24) for transmitting one beam from the splitter to a polygon mirror (25) which rotates to scan the incident laser beam, a mirror system (26) for emitting the beam reflected by the polygon mirror through the reading window (5), and a focusing member (30) for focusing the beam reflected by the bar code onto a detector (28) that detects the beam reflected by the bar code, are arranged on the same line in the bar code reader. By using a concave mirror (30), furthermore, the beam reflected by the bar code is folded back to one detector (28). The light-receiving surface of another detector (29) is faced downward to receive the beam reflected by the bar code through a Fresnel lens (32) and mirror (33), thereby to decrease the depth of the bar code reader. Furthermore, the beam passage from the reflection mirror goes through the lower surface of the polygon mirror intersecting the axis of rotation of the polygon mirror.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement analogique (DTA) (20) pour le traitement analogique de paquets de charges présents dans un signal analogique. Le DTA (20) utilise des éléments (22) à base de dispositifs à couplage charge dans un dispositif semi-conducteur pour déplacer et traiter les paquets de charges présents dans un signal analogique. Dans une forme d'exécution, le DTA (20) permet le traitement analogique de signaux dimensionnels tels que les signaux audio ou vidéo. Quand le DTA (20) est conçu comme un dispositif semi-conducteur, il peut être réalisé comme une pastille pour un prétraitement analogique des signaux vidéo ou audio, par exemple pour la compression du signal avant la numérisation et l'utilisation par des dispositifs de traitement numérique. Dans une forme d'exécution particulière (figure 6), un ensemble de DTAs avec les circuits connexes constitue un processeur de reconnaissance de motifs (PRM) à chevauchement. Le PRM peut effectuer une compression de signaux vidéo analogiques à des vitesses dépassant sensiblement les vitesses de compression possibles avec les technologies de traitement numérique actuellement disponibles.

Abstract: A modified blood glucose test strip reduces the risk of contamination
when it is used with a blood glucose meter. The modified strip has adhered to
its top surface a protective shield that is preferably cut from a sheet of
transparent plastic. The shield permits access to the sample-receiving surface
of the strip, but prevents contamination of the meter by the user, because it
covers a part of the meter that adjoins the strip when the strip is installed in the
meter. Similarly, the shield protects a user from contacting a potentially
contaminated area of the meter. The modified strip finds particular advantage
in a hospital or other setting where several persons may use the same meter.

Abstract: An improved method and system that provides for a data access
interface layer in a navigation system. The navigation system is of the type
that includes a navigation application software program that provides navigating
features to a user of the system and a geographic database stored on a
computer-readable storage medium wherein the geographical database includes
information relating to the geographical region about which the navigation
system provides the navigation features to the user. The data access interface
layer is preferably stored in the navigation system as a library of software
functions. The data access interface layer operates in conjunction with the
navigation system application software. The data access interface layer isolates
the navigation application software from the geographic data which are stored
on the storage medium. The data access interface layer intercepts requests by
the navigation application software for geographic data. The data access
interface layer retrieves geographic data from the storage medium and converts
the data into a format usable by the navigation application software. The data
access interface layer also provides for memory management that facilitates
accessing and using geographic data from the particular storage medium quickly
and efficiently. By recognizing that different media types have different
physical formats, the data access interface layer accommodates and isolates the
differences so that the portions of the data access interface layer that interact
with the navigation application software can be generic.
