Abstract: There is disclosed herein a hydrosilylation curable electrically conductive silicone elastomer composition containing an acrylic functional group-containing organopolysiloxane, such that when the composition is used to adhere a semiconductor chip to a substrate and the composition is then irradiated with a high energy beam, the exposed periphery of said composition cures to an extent that migration of low molecular-weight silicone species from said composition, both before and during the hydrosilyation reaction, is minimized. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having improved reliability is also disclosed in which, during adhesion of a semiconductor chip to the substrate, package, etc., by means of this composition, decreases in wire bondability to the semiconductor chip or lead frame and adhesion defects between the semiconductor chip, substrate, package, or lead frame and the sealing resin are inhibited.

Abstract: In a method of coding discrete time signals (X1) sampled with a first sampling rate, second time signals (x2) are generated using the first time signals having a bandwidth corresponding to a second sampling rate, with the second sampling rate being lower than the first sampling rate. The second time signals are coded in accordance with a first coding algorithm. The coded second signals (X2c) are decoded again in order to obtain coded/decoded second time signals (X2cd) having a bandwidth corresponding to the second sampling frequency. The first time signals, by frequency domain transformation, become first spectral values (X1). Second spectral values (X2cd) are generated from the coded/decoded second time signals, the second spectral values being a representation of the coded/decoded time signals in the frequency domain. To obtain weighted spectral values, the first spectral values are weighted by means of the second spectral values, with the first and second spectral values having the same frequency and time resolution. The weighted spectral values (Xb) are coded in accordance with a second coding algorithm in consideration of a psychoacoustic model and written into a bit stream. Weighting the first spectral values and the second spectral values comprises the subtraction of the second spectral values from the first spectral values in to obtain differential spectral values.

Abstract: A gaming machine that is provided with an outlet for paying out gaming media has a receiver for paying-out the gaming media, the receiver being disposed forward of the outlet. The receiver is illuminated so was to permit the player to view the gaming media that has been collected in the receiver, whereby the amount thereof readily can be confirmed. Illumination of the receiver is achieved from within the gaming machine, the illumination being emitted from the outlet for paying the gaming media. Thus, as the gaming media is paid out, a glistening effect that is entertaining and visually pleasing is created. Illumination of the receiver, which may be in the form of a receiver tray, is effected, in one form of the invention, by an internal source of illumination that also illuminates the front panel of the gaming machine. Light is propagated through a transmission element to the receiver. In a preferred form, a further light source is disposed behind the chute via which the gaming media is provided to the outlet. Depending upon the location of the further light source with respect to the chute, multiple reflections are employed within the chute to deliver the light to the outlet. The coloration of the light that is delivered to the outlet may be controlled by the further light source itself or a colored transmission element. This permits interesting decorative coloration schemes to be effected, thereby raising the player's interest in playing the game. <IMAGE>
