Patent EP-1543172-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WARD-CLOSE CHARLES MALCOLM
IPC: C22B9/14
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A method for purifying metal M1 particles manufactured by an electrochemical reduction process, the method comprising the steps of introducing the metal M1 particles into a heat source (13) at a temperature substantially equal to or higher than the melting point of M1 so as to cause vaporisation of some or substantially all of the contaminating impurities present, removing the vaporised impurities from the vicinity of the particles, and cooling the purified metal M1 particles. The purified particles can be used directly in lower temperature powder metallurgy processes and have a fully dense spherical particle morphology, imparting good flowability. The purification process can also be incorporated as an integral stage of sheet or stock production processes based on particle feedstocks that have been produced by electrochemical reduction.

Abstract: A method (Fig. 1) of recovering overerased bits in a memory cell. In the method, a pair of reference currents (I11H, I11L) are internally generated (301) to define a current window corresponding to the erased state ('11') of the memory cell. The first reference current defines the highest current of the current window (12) and the second reference current defines the lowest current of the current window. Then, it is determined (302) which of the memory cells in a memory array are in an overerased state (13) by having an amount of charge on its floating gate that corresponds to a conduction current during a read operation that is greater than the first reference current. Then, the overerased cells are programmed (303; Fig. 8) until the cells are in the erased state.

Abstract: The color management system comprises a state-space based model for
a pixel element in a dynamically varying color marking device. A sensor measures
the color of the printed output for construction of a selected set of sensitivity functions
representative of color output relating to inputs. The gradients of the sensitivity
functions are extracted and used to develop the corresponding discrete multivariable
state-space model of the pixel element. More particularly, the model is constructed
from the Jacobian matrix characterizing a change in measured color output for a
change in input color values of the pixel. Extension of modeling methodology for a
single pixel is applied to multiple pixel elements.
