Abstract: A color thermal printer (10) loads a dye receiver (30) for printing by moving the dye receiver (30) in a first direction through a gap between a print head (23) and a platen (24). A dye donor (20), also positioned in the gap, moves in the first direction during receiver loading. The moving dye donor (20) engages the dye receiver (30), assisting the dye receiver (30) through the gap. When the dye receiver (30) is detected downstream of the gap, the dye receiver (30) is positioned in a beginning receiver print position and the position of the dye donor (20) with respect to the print head (23) is determined. If the print head (23) position is downstream of a beginning donor print position, the dye donor (20) is rewound in a second direction opposite the first direction until the print head (23) is upstream of the beginning donor print position, whereupon the dye donor (20) is moved to the beginning donor print position. If the print head (23) position is upstream of the beginning donor print position when the dye receiver (30) is detected, the dye donor (20) is moved to the beginning donor print position. A normal printing sequence occurs when both dye donor (20) and dye receiver (30) are in their respective beginning print positions.

Abstract: A new method for planarization of shallow trenches is presented. Shallow trenches are patterned into a semiconductor substrate that has been coated with a layer of silicon nitride. A conformal coating of oxide is deposited onto the wafer to fill the trenches. A thin layer of etch-stop silicon and a second layer of oxide are then deposited. The second layer of oxide is patterned with a filler mask using conventional photolithographic techniques and etched to the silicon etch-stop layer, leaving blocks of oxide in the depressions above the trenches and oxide spacers along the sidewalls. Chemical mechanical polishing is then used to polish the oxide back to the silicon nitride. The process offers excellent global planarity, minimal variation in silicon nitride thickness across active areas of varying size and density, and relative insensitivity to chip design.

Abstract: A device for arresting the fall of an individual wherein a plurality of layers of a elongated webbing are wound on a drum so that when a fall occurs the weight of the fall is absorbed by compaction of the layers of the elongated webbing on the drum and the elongation of the portion of the elongated webbing unreeled from the drum. Also, a locking mechanism is disclosed when a spring urges a pawl against a rotating surface having a cam until the speed of rotation of the cam overcomes the force of the spring and moves the pawl into engagement with a catch. The cam moves the pawl into the engagement zone at lower than locking speeds and requires the normal action of the spring and pivot pin to pull the pawl out of the engagement zone before the tip of the sperrad engages it, thus providing a fail safe advantage. In further embodiments, the device is attached to a body safety harness usually worn by a worker.

Abstract: A method of coding a video signal at a fixed bit rate with use of a vector quantization codebook, wherein advantageous codebook updates are determined by comparing a coding error associated with a first provisional coding of a frame with a coding error associated with a second provisional coding of the frame. The first provisional coding uses a fixed available number of bits to code a frame with use of the unmodified codebook, whereas the second provisional coding uses a modified codebook to code the same frame. However, the second provisional coding codes both the frame and the codebook updates with the fixed available number of bits. The provisional coding having the smaller coding error is selected as the coding of the frame which will be adopted. In addition, the codebook may be replaced with the modified codebook when the second provisional coding is selected. In this manner, the coder will adapt the codebook to the characteristics of the scene.

Abstract: An ink-jet recording method comprises actuating a 
heating element which is in contact with an ink in a 
recording head, in response to a recording signal, to 
heat the ink thereby creating bubbles in the ink and 
thus ejecting ink droplets from the head so that 
recording is effected with the ink droplets. The ink 
is a liquid having a property such that its viscosity 
changes abruptly when heated and the heating element 
generates heat so that the average heat flux q o  from the 
surface of the heating element to the ink satisfies the 
condition represented by the following formula: 
   q o   ≦ ακπ S ( T B   - T o   ) 2   4 V ( T P   - T o   )      
where κ denotes the coefficient of thermal conductivity 
of the ink, S the effective area of the heating 
element, V the volume of ink droplets ejected by one 
driving operation, T B  the temperature of the ink at 
which bubbles are created in the ink, T o  the temperature 
of the ink before the ink is ejected, T P  the transition 
temperature of the ink at which the abrupt change in 
the viscosity occurs, and α the correction factor 1.5.

Abstract: In a multi-channel acoustic echo cancellation, received signals in a plurality of channels are radiated as acoustic signals by a plurality of loudspeakers, received signal vectors in these channels are combined into a combined vector and a rearranged received signal vector in the case of at least two channels being exchanged is generated. By inputting the combined received signal vector into an echo replica generating part which simulates echo paths from the loudspeakers to at least one microphone, an echo replica is generated. The echo replica is subtracted from an echo output from the microphone to obtain a residual echo. Based on the relationship between the received signal vector and the corresponding residual echo and between the rearranged received signal vector and the corresponding approximated residual echo, an adjustment vector is obtained which is used to adjust the estimated echo path vector representing an impulse response of the echo replica generating part.

Abstract: Dans de nombreux cas où intervient une commutation d'un courant, la mise hors circuit provoque une élévation de la tension à l'électrode de drain d'un transistor, en particulier dans le cas d'une charge inductive. En cas d'utilisation d'un transistor DMOS latéral haute tension, cette haute tension peut entraîner une instabilité dans les propriétés du transistor ou même endommager ce dernier. L'invention vise à supprimer ces inconvénients. A cet effet, le drain d'un transistor DMOS latéral haute tension est pourvu localement d'une zone de type N fortement dopée (18; 21) (dans le cas d'un transistor à canal N) qui s'étend, vu de la surface, vers le bas dans le corps semiconducteur à une profondeur supérieure à celle de la zone source (8), de façon à former une jonction PN à une profondeur relativement grande dans le corps dont la tension de claquage est inférieure à la tension de claquage BVds du transistor dépourvu de cette zone. La puissance emmagasinée dans la bobine d'inductance peut ainsi être évacuée par claquage. Ce claquage est séparé du trajet normal du courant du transistor en raison de la profondeur relativement grande de la jonction PN, ce qui augmente la robustesse du transistor. Ladite zone profonde dans le drain peut être formée, par exemple, par une couche enterrée à la limite entre la couche épitaxiale et le substrat.
