Patent GB-9325072-D0 (GB)
Title: Thermal matched ic chip assembly and fabrication method
IPC: H01L23/544
Filed: 1993-12-07
Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) formed in a semiconductor layer 14 is flip-chip bonded to a printed wiring board 26 (PWB), despite the PWB having a substantial temperature coefficient of expansion (TCE) mismatch with the semiconductor material. The thin semiconductor layer 14 is adhered to a much thicker chip substrate 20 with a ICE that is more closely matched with the ICE of the PWB. Through a proper selection of dimensions, the IC layer 14 will substantially assume the ICE of the chip substrate, and thus avoid excessive stresses in the flip-chip bonds during large temperature excursions. Starting with a conventional IC wafer having a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate is removed and replaced with a new chip substrate 20, which may be formed from the same material as the PWB. When the initial wafer is provided with a thin insulative layer 12 between the IC layer and semiconductor substrate, the insulative layer is used as an etch stop for removal of the semiconductor substrate. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-9420918-D0 (GB)
Title: Washerless pressure balancing valve
IPC: F16K11/074
Filed: 1994-10-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a shower control valve assembly which includes a casing mountable in a wall with inlets for hot and cold water. A cartridge is insertable into the casing in one of two orientations so that the hot water inlet of the cartridge can be aligned with either one of the casing inlets, depending on which one is the hot water inlet. The casing has two outlets, one for the shower and the other for the tub. There is an integral bypass which takes water from the tub outlet to the shower outlet upon activation of a diverter valve. The cartridge is of the pressure and temperature balancing type, with water of the desired temperature flowing to the tub outlet and then to the tub or shower as desired. The cartridge uses a rotatable mixing valve disc having arcuate ports therethrough for hot and cold water, each port being alignable with a corresponding passage in the cartridge that communicates with an inlet chamber for water of the appropriate temperature. The thickness of the valve disc at each port diminishes from a maximum to a minimum and a cam surface is provided adjacent each port. Within each passage is an axially movable seat member that has an annular surface in constant contact with the cam surface and an opposite annular surface that is sealable against an O-ring held by a snap seal member to prevent water flow through the seat member and the mixing valve disc. The snap seal member allows water flow therepast and is biased towards the disc, but when the axially movable seat member is in sealing contact with the O-ring, no water can pass to or through the valve disc. With this configuration wear is minimized and it is not necessary to use toxic lubricants to maintain smooth action of the valve disc.

Title: Method and apparatus for approximating a contour image of an object in a video signal
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: A method for approximating a contour of an object expressed in a digital video signal divides the contour into a multiplicity of primary contour segments and approximates each primary contour segment by a primary line segment, to thereby calculate a set of errors between the primary contour segment and the primary line segment for each primary contour segment. And the method codes and decodes the set of errors, to thereby generate of a set of reconstructed errors and a reconstructed contour segment which are used to determine a reconstruction error. Thereafter, the method generates one or more secondary contour segment on the primary contour segment with each secondary contour segments approximated by a secondary line segment. Subsequently, the method finds an approximation error and approximates said each primary contour segment by using either the reconstructed contour segment or the secondary line segments based on the reconstruction error and the approximation error.
