Abstract: The adhesion of electroless copper to a substrate (1) for a conductor pattern can be improved by applying a SiO₂ layer (3) on which a thin metal pattern of, for example, TiW (51) is provided. Anchors are formed on the surface by subjecting the SiO₂ layer to an underetching treatment. The electroless copper (9) grows around these anchors and, hence, adheres to the substrate.

Abstract: An image processing system operates on first and second image data (V and Bg) to produce data defining a combined image (R=V+Bg(1-α)). The first image data (V) represents a keyed image (V=FK+B/1-K)) comprising a first object (F) keyed over a portion of a first background (B) in accordance with keying data (K). The second image data (Bg) represents a background. The system is arranged so that the second image data (Bg) is weighted by respective control data (α) (fig.1B) related to said keying data (K) before being combined with the first image data (V). In another embodiment (fig.3) the first image data (V) represents a second object independently keyed over the keyed image in accordance with second keying data (K2) and the control data (α) is further related to the second keying data. In a further embodiment (fig.4) the first image data represents an image derived by cross fading between the first keyed image and a second keyed image.

Abstract: Dominant typeface, including point size, of text in an image is identified by measuring distances across connected components in each of plural directions to obtain distribution data. The distribution data indicate a distribution of distances across connected components in each direction for the image. The distribution data are then used to obtain typeface data indicating the dominant typeface of characters in the text. Distance can be measured from each of a set of pixels that are inside or on edges of connected components to an edge of a connected component. The distances for each direction can be combined, such as by obtaining an average or other measure of central value, so that the combined distances indicate the distribution of distances in the direction. The distribution data can be used to form a profile that can be compared or clustered with other profiles to identify similar profiles or to find a matching profile. Skew can be obtained and used in forming profiles that are independent of skew. The comparisons can be independent of differences in character scale. A machine can store a set of model profiles of known typeface and point size in memory and can compare a profile for an image with each model profile to find the closest match, providing an identifier of its dominant typeface and point size. A machine could also store an input image in memory, obtain data indicating its dominant typeface, modify the stored data according to the dominant typeface, and provide an output image based on the modification. Profiles can be stored or transmitted, and a product can include a model profile together with code for operating a processor to obtain a profile for an image and code for operating the processor to compare the profile for the image with the model profile.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor integrated circuit in which an EEPROM is incorporated in a highly-integrated microcomputer having a twin-well structure. 
     A twin-well region 114 made up of an n-well region 110 and a p-well region 112, and a p-type substrate region surrounded with a p-well region are created on a single semiconductor substrate 100a. A supply voltage system made up of a CPU 101, a ROM or RAM 102, an UART 103, and EEPROM control systems 104 and 105, to which a high voltage of an EEPROM is not applied, is formed in the twin-well region to have a CMOS structure. This enables high integration. A high-voltage system made up of an EEPROM memory cell array 107 and an EEPROM peripheral high-voltage system 108 is formed in the p-type substrate region to have an NMOS structure. This minimizes a substrate effect and enables the high-voltage system to operate normally.

Abstract: Unsaturated polyester resins of the type already having reactive liquid polymers reacted into the backbone of the resins, are cured in the presence of a reactive liquid polymer additive admixed with the prereacted unsaturated polyester resin. Heating of this system during cure causes the reactive liquid polymer additive to miscibilize with the unsaturated polyester resin. The unsaturated polyester resin modified in the manner described above shows a significant enhancement in toughness as measured by fracture energy over unmodified counterparts or counterparts modified by known methods of adduction or admixing alone.

Abstract: A radiation-curable prepolymer of a polyurethane endtipped with an hydroxy (acrylate or methacrylate) is disclosed. The polyurethane is derived from the reaction of a polyfunctional isocyanate with a hydrolyzable oligomer of an anhydrous cyclic ester of an hydroxy acid. Crosslinked polymers prepared by irradiating the prepolymers are also disclosed. The crosslinked polymers are bioabsorbable and biocompatible with bodily tissue, yet still maintain the outstanding mechanical properties one would expect from a polyurethane. The prepolymers and crosslinked polymers are especially well-suited for the fabrication of surgical devices, particularly wound closure devices such as surgical staples and clips, in a stereolithography apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a voltage controlled single-package integrated circuit device, capable of thermal compensation, for biasing a quasi-linear bipolar device. The bias circuit also provides a low impedance source to a RF device so that the bias point does not dynamically change with the RF signal, thus improving linearity. Changes in the base-emitter voltage level of the RF device are monitored by a reference diode to provide automatic temperature compensation. The reference diode is in close thermal proximity to the RF device, allowing for accurate thermal tracking. The base-emitter voltage may be electronically adjusted by means of a control voltage input, such being suitable for hook-up to a computer system having a digital to analog convertor thereby allowing for fine voltage adjustments. The control voltage may also be used to adjust the class of operation of the RF device or provide external temperature control.
