Patent EP-0827078-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COX WILLIAM GARY
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: A standardized test environment assists identifying problematic instances of instructions in
computer programs that produce erroneous results caused by dates having years expressed in a
truncated form. In one embodiment of a test environment, a computer system collects
diagnostic information for instances of subtraction operations that produce negative results. A
standardized production environment takes corrective action for specified instances of instructions
by modifying one or more values such that the instructions achieve correct results. In one
embodiment of a production environment, a computer system intercepts processing of an
instruction in a computer program at specified locations and takes corrective action according to
information obtained from a table of control information.
Patent EP-0834922-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOYLE STEVE
IPC: H01L23/12
Filed: 1994-03-23
Abstract: A multi-layered package is disclosed that employs
novel shielding techniques to improve high frequency
performance of the package. Shield vias (204) are placed near
conductive vias (200) to create a two-wire transmission line with
controllable characteristic impedance. Controlled
transmission line impedance reduces signal reflection due to
line impedance variations and ground bounce due to inductive
coupling. Opposite polarity shielding technique is introduced
in vertical as well as horizontal directions to reduce
capacitive coupling of noise between signals and provide
immunity against differential power supply noise. Signal
layers disposed half way between floating shield planes
provided immunity against non-common mode noise coupling. For
integrated circuits with varying types of signals ( e.g . CMOS
and TTL and ECL type signals), the package creates
electrically isolated zones to drastically reduce noise
coupling between the circuits with different signal types.

Abstract: A non-handed headlamp position indicator device (20) is used to denote the proper
aiming or "zero position" of a movable reflector component (22) mounted in a stationary
component (24) of a headlamp arrangement (26) so that a vehicle mechanic can easily return the
headlamp in the movable reflector component (22) to the zero position. The indicator device
includes a bracket (40) mounted on the reflector (22) beneath an opening in the stationary
housing which includes a U-shaped track portion (50) which includes a curved section (58) and
a linear leg section (60,62). An arrow member (66) is mounted on the U-shaped track portion
(50) and is slidable around the track portion. After the reflector component is moved to its
desired zero position, the arrow member (66) is slid along one or other leg section (60, 62)
portion until it aligns with a zero indicia (39) on the scale for providing an indication of the
horizontal zero position of the reflector.

Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, an inkjet printer (10)
includes a replaceable print cartridge (14) which is
inserted into a scanning carriage (13). The print
cartridge contains a regulator valve (27,54). An ink tube
(23) extends from the scanning carriage to a separate,
disposable ink supply cartridge (22) located within the
printer. A second valve (64) connected between the ink
tube and the ink supply cartridge is automatically
actuated when it is determined that the printer is not
being used. The valve (64) seal is more reliable than the
inexpensive one-way valve seal in the disposable ink
supply cartridge. The reliable valve seal prevents any
air bubbles in the tube from expanding toward the ink
supply cartridge, enabling the use of more flexible tubes
which have less stringent air diffusion characteristics.
In another embodiment, instead of a valve, a pressure
source (77) is connected to the ink tube to maintain the
partial air pressure within the tube at approximately
ambient pressure.

Abstract: A device according to which the closing or plugging operation of tubes with a finger cot (11) area of the cap (2, 3) centred with the main printing on the tube (1), is carried out thanks to the combination of a latch (7) on the tube and a stop catch (10) on the cap, with the latter being in the shape of a transversal U-shaped cross-section with unequal arm. Having duly referenced both the latch and the stop catch, turning of the cap causes the final locking of the latch in the interior of the stop catch, without any additional complements.

Abstract: A circuit and method for adjusting the ramp voltage applied to a control
gate of a non-volatile memory cell to improve programming accuracy. The
method involves measuring an amount of additional voltage realized at a
source of the floating gate transistor. Thereafter, a preset compensation ratio
may be selected to reduce a ramp voltage applied to the control gate of the
memory cell by an amount necessary to lessen the amount of additional voltage
realized at the source of the floating gate transistor. This will reduce inaccurate
measurement of voltages during the read-while-write voltage program
technique. A voltage control circuit is connected to the control gate for precise
reduction of the ramp voltage.
