Patent EP-0825614-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MURAYAMA TOHRU
IPC: H01L21/822
Filed: 1997-08-18
Abstract: In order to precisely measure the speed of memory unit, the memory unit stores
at least one bit data at a predetermined bit position at each memory word such that the
logical value of the one bit data changes alternately in order of memory address. An
address increment circuit, which is provided in a module including the memory unit,
successively generates memory addresses which are applied to the memory. The
address increment circuit increments a memory address in response to the output of the
memory. The memory speed between two consecutive memory outputs is detected by
measuring a pulse width of a pulse signal outputted from the memory unit. Thus, a
relatively large delay otherwise caused at a buffer amplifier can effectively be
compensated.

Abstract: Apparatus for enhancing the interactivity of a consumer electronic product (12)
in the home is described. The invented apparatus includes an electronic product
(12) typically located in a user's home, e.g. a television (TV), equipped with an
input/output (I/O) port (26) that permits an external device (28) to be operatively
connected thereto for interacting with the TV, wherein the external device (28)
receives and optionally transmits user information over an existing paging network.
The external device (28) may itself be a pager, or it may be any device
capable of receiving useful user information from a remote source and formating
it for porting to a memory buffer within the home electronic product (12) via the
I/O port (26). In response to receipt of such information and an appropriate
command, the electronic product (12) such as a TV may display (14) the information
in a window created within the TV screen or may overlay the information
in such manner that it is visible to the TV viewer without interrupting regular
broadcast or cable TV reception. Information received from the remote source
may include weather warnings, sports scores, stock exchanges, news reports or
other information. Preferably, the electronic product (12) is a TV, the embedded
microprocessor and memory of which are programmed with a soft ICAP emulator
that establishes a handshake and protocol with the I/O port (26) and is
responsive to data and commands that are received thereat from an external device
(28). Preferably also, the external device (28) includes a programmed microcontroller
or processor (16) emulating the ICAP protocol and capable of receiving
information from a remote source such as the paging network, establishing a
handshake with the TV's emulator software, conveying data into the TV's
memory and issuing display or other commands to the TV based in part upon
user inputs or programmed preferences, etc.

Abstract: Draw tape equipment (14), and methods for incorporating draw
tapes (52, 54) into plastic and like bags. A continuous plastic
web (10) is slit at a slitting station (16) to form layers (18,
20), and respective free edges (22, 24). The web (10) then
passes to a hole forming station (26) where holes (28) are formed
in the top and bottom layers adjacent the free edges. After the
holes (28) are punched, edge regions (34, 36) of the top and
bottom layers (18, 20) are separated from each other, followed
by the forming of hems (40, 42) in the separated layers at hem
forming stations (44, 46) arranged in parallel with each other.
Concurrent with forming of the hems (40, 42), continuous draw
tapes (52, 54) are fed to the hem forming stations (44, 46) and
the hems are formed about the draw tapes. The formed hems, (40,
42) with the draw tapes incorporated therein, optionally pass
through transverse stretching apparatus (152) and/or through
electrostatic pinning apparatus (154) and/or through first
temperature control stations (60) where the temperature of the
plastic web (10) is controlled to a desired temperature before
hem sealing. The formed hems are then sealed to the main bodies
of the respective top and bottom layers. The sealed hems (40,
42) optionally pass through second temperature control stations
(76) to cool the web. The edge regions (34, 36) of the layers
(18, 20) are then rejoined, in face-to-face relationship with
each other.

Abstract: A sample-hold circuit, which is constituted by a
capacitor and a differential amplifier or a capacitor and an
inversion amplifier, is provided with a first switch for
short-circuiting the input and output, a second switch for
switching the input-side terminal of the input capacitor to
a reference voltage input, a third switch for switching the
output-side terminal of the feedback capacitor to the
reference voltage input, and a fourth switch for switching
the input-side terminal of the input capacitor to an input
voltage; thus a refreshing operation is available.
Consequently, it is possible to compensate for deviations in
offset voltage that are inherently caused by process
deviations of MOS amplifiers, and to improve the precision
of the output of the matched filter. Moreover, in addition
to sample-hold circuits having conventional number of steps,
a plurality of sample-hold circuits are added, and steps of
shift registers, which have binary correlation filter
coefficients stored therein, are also added as many as the
same number of the added sample-hold circuits. Thus, during
the refreshing operation, the extra circuits are used to
carry out the process. With this arrangement, it becomes
possible to provide a matched filter that is capable of
refreshing the sample-hold circuits without adversely
affecting the correlation output.

Abstract: A display device comprises a screen. A back plate is sealed to the
screen to form an evacuated chamber. Area cathode means is disposed
between the back plate and the screen. A permanent magnet is disposed
between the cathode and the screen. A two dimensional array of rows and
columns of channels extends between opposite poles of the magnet for
receiving electrons from the cathode means. An anode phosphor layer is
disposed between screen and the magnet for receiving electrons from the
channels. Grid electrode means between the area cathode means and the
magnet controls flow of electrons from the cathode means into the
channels. Anode means between the magnet and the anode phosphor layer
controls flow of electrons from the channels towards the screen. In one
such arrangement, the screen comprises a layer of a plastic material. In
another such arrangement a plurality of spacers are disposed between the
screen and the magnet. Each spacer has an elongate body having a larger
cross sectional area at one end of the spacer tapering to a smaller cross
sectional area at the other end of the spacer. In another such
arrangement, and a plurality of spacers are disposed between the magnet
and cathode. The spacers are located in recesses formed in the grid
electrode means. In yet another such arrangement, the cathode means
comprises a back-plate and a silica glass substrate peripherally sealed
to the back-plate to produce a chamber. A gas is contained in the
chamber. A layer of photo-sensitive material is disposed on the surface
of the substrate external to the chamber. A cathode phosphor layer is
disposed between the back plate and the substrate. A pair of electrodes
facing each other from opposite sides of the chamber energises the gas to
generate a plasma for exciting the phosphor to generate light energy to
produce electron emissions from the photo-cathode.

Abstract: Bei der Körperpflege des Menschen steht die Zahnpflege und Mundhygiene
mit an erster Stelle 
Ungenügende Pflege und Hygiene sind Auslöser von Krankheit und Kosten. 
In diesem Punkt bedeutet der Zahnbecher/Glas mit der Antirutsch- und Kippvorrichtung
eine beachtliche Verbesserung.. 
Beim Aufbringen der Zahnpaste auf die Zahnbürste sucht man meistens nach einer
hygienisch einwandfreien Auflage für die Bürste, die jeder Benutzer kennt,
wenn es z.B. an die Entleerung der Tuben geht. 
Größere Probleme haben Menschen, die vorübergehend (oder für immer) nur eine
Hand zur Verfügung haben- junge und ältere Menschen, welche noch nicht, oder nicht
mehr so geschickt sind- und Zahnprotesenträger, die zur Herausnahme der Protesen
beide Hände benötigen. 
Für alle bedeutet der Zahnbecher/Glas mit der Antirutsch- und Kippvorrichtung eine
Problemlösung, denn man braucht die Zahnbürste nur auf dem Becherrand deponieren,
welcher sich leicht sauberhalten läßt und durch seine Aussparrungen ein Verrutschen
und Kippen verhindert. Für zusätzliche Sicherheit sorgen die Einkerbungen
im Zahnbürstengriff, damit auch ein Verrutschen in Längsrichtung vermieden wird,
wenn diese im Becherrand eingerastet ist..
