Patent EP-0949603-A1 (EP)
Title: Display device
Inventor: KIMURA MUTSUMI
IPC: G09G3/30
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: In a display device in accordance with the present
invention, each pixel includes a plurality of luminescent
elements having different luminous intensities to represent
gray scales by controlling the turning ON/OFF of the
luminescent elements. A digital signal is transmitted to
each pixel to carry out control by thin film transistors
connected in series with the luminescent elements. The
luminous intensities of the luminescent elements are the
geometric progressions of a common ratio of 2. The ON
resistance of the thin film transistors is set to be lower
than the ON resistance of the luminescent elements, while
the OFF resistance of the thin film transistors is set to be
higher than the OFF resistance of the luminescent elements.
These features have reduced the nonuniformity in the
luminous intensities of the luminescent elements caused by
the nonuniformity in the conductance of the transistors,
thus achieving improved image quality.

Abstract: To prevent collapse and delamination without
increasing an occupied area or to reduce the area while
maintaining a necessary strength, an inductor is provided
by being formed on a first insulating layer on a
semiconductor substrate comprises a plurality of metal
layers stacked on the first insulating layer. Among the
plurality of metal layers, the second insulating layer
extends over the end portion of the lower-most metal
layer from the first insulating layer. The other metal
layers comprising the inductor are formed in contact with
the upper surface of the lower-most metal layer which is
not covered with the second insulating layer. The lower-most
metal layer is preferably formed on the first
insulating layer via a bonding layer (not shown). The
lower-most layer is pressed down at the circumference by
the second insulating layer, so an external force is not
imposed directly on the interface between the metal layer
and the insulating layer.

Abstract: A flyback converter (PS) based on a switcher IC (42) with Pulse Width Modulation control (52) of the switching transistor (54). The pulse width is controlled by changing the input current at the control input (CTL). Under normal operating conditions the voltage at the control input (CTL) is maintained at a fixed level, which voltage also serves as supply voltage for the control unit (52). A charge pump (CP) provides extra charge for the smoothing capacitor (50) at the control input (CTL) when the load (B) would cause the voltage across the smoothing capacitor (50) to collapse under the fixed level, thereby preventing the control unit (52) from entering the auto-restart mode of the switcher IC (42). In this way the flyback converter can be used as a constant power source for charging rechargeable batteries with a working voltage lower than the nominal operating output voltage of the converter.

Title: Breakable cannula assemblies and methods for manipulating them
Inventor: MATHIAS JEAN-MARIE
IPC: A61M39/22
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: A breakable seal is located within a housing. The housing includes a ribbed region of restricted diameter protruding from the wall into the bore. A breakable juncture in the seal joins the tip of a cannula member to the base of the cannula member. The leading portion of the tip is free of any projection that frictionally engages either the wall or the ribbed region. Thus, neither the wall nor the ribbed region contacts or constrains movement of the leading portion in the bore when the tip is broken from the base. The trailing portion of the tip carries at least one projection constructed to frictionally engage the ribbed region. The ribbed region constrains movement of the trailing portion through the bore when the tip is broken from the base. By rocking the cannula tip, the juncture can be broken and the cannula tip advanced to a secure position in the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange system used to preheat the main condensate in power station processes. Two welded plate heat exchangers (11, 12) are mounted in a cylindrical housing (15) and connected to each other by means of an integrated intermediate chamber (13). A separating wall (17) which separates two heating chambers (NDV1a and NDV1b) in a pressure-tight manner is incorporated into the housing in the area of the intermediate chamber (13). The separating wall has an opening cut to fit the circumference of the intermediate chamber and is welded to both said intermediate chamber (13) and to the housing (15). The heating condensate of the first heating chamber (NDV1a) is pushed into the intermediate chamber (13) via a condensate lift (50) and there mixed with the main condensate. The heating condensate from the second heating chamber (NDV1b) is cascaded into the first heating chamber via an adjustable choke (60). The heat exchange system is characterized in that it has a compact structure and offers more effective preheating of the main condensate.

Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A high capacity three-dimensional, optically-addressed storage device comprises multiple layers 3,4,5 from which digital data stored in any given layer can be rapidly and reliably retrieved despite the proximity of data in neighbouring layers. Interrogating radiation is projected through the device orthogonally to the layers, in a flood beam or a beam defined by an electronic mask. The interrogating beam is repeatedly refocussed to reduce retrieval errors associated with beam spreading. A given layer is selected by illumination with a selecting beam projected across the layer to interact with optically sensitive material deposited at selected digital storage locations in the layer, so as to cause that material to absorb the radiation of the interrogating beam more strongly than it does in the absence of the selecting beam.
