Inventor: DAVIS COLIN C
IPC: B05B17/04
Filed: 2002-01-14
Abstract: A thermal-type drop generator (20) having a geometry that is
configured so that the ejection of liquid from the chamber (33) has the effect
of separating the ejected volume into a number of small droplets. The
relationship between the thickness of the liquid chamber and the area of the
heat transducer (35) used to eject the liquid is controlled to provide the
separating aspect so that the resultant droplets (36) have very small volumes,
in the range of tens of femtoliters. Such small droplets are readily entrained in
an aerosol and especially useful for pulmonary delivery of medicinal fluid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device that
generates a clock which is synchronized with a reference signal
stably and with fixed synchronization accuracy, and enables to
deal with an abrupt variation in the reference signal. This
semiconductor device includes N stages of delay elements each
delaying an external clock by 1/N clock (N: an integer that is
two or larger); a phase comparator for comparing the phase of a
clock that has been delayed by the N stages of the delay elements
with the phase of the external clock one clock late; a controller
that receives a phase difference detected by the phase comparator
and controls respective delays of the delay elements; and a
selector for selecting a delayed clock having the closest phase
to the reference signal from delayed clocks which are generated
by the N stages of the delay elements, respectively, and shifted
in phase with each other by 1/N clock.

Patent EP-1428222-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CERNEA RAUL ADRIAN
IPC: G11C11/56
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A technique to perform an operation (e.g., erase, program, or read) on memory cells (105) is to apply an operating voltage dynamically to the gates (111, 113) of the memory cells, rather than a continuous operating voltage. This reduces the power consumed during the operation. Dynamic operation or background operation such as background erase also permits other operations, such as read, program, or erase, to occur while the selected memory cells are operated on. This improves the operational speed of an integrated circuit using dynamic operation compared to a continuous operation. In an embodiment for background erase, the erase gates are charged to the erase voltage using a charge pump (204, 208). The pump is then turned off (212), and the erase gates remain at the erase voltage dynamically (216). The erase voltage at the erase gates will be periodically checked and refreshed as needed until the memory cells are fully erased (224). While the charge pump is off and the erase voltage is dynamically held at the erase dates, other operations, possibly on other memory cells, may be performed (220).

Abstract: An exhaust-emission purifying apparatus for an internal
combustion engine (1), including an NOx purifying catalyst (7)
disposed in an exhaust passage (2) of the engine (1) and operable
to occlude NOx in an exhaust emission of the engine (1) operated
in a lean-burn state and reduce the occluded NOx by operating the
engine (1) in a rich-burn state for a short time, and an
electronic control unit (ECU) 30 operable upon detected poisoning
of the catalyst (7) with sox, with its NOx occluding ability of
the catalyst being lowered, to command at least the engine (1) to
effect an SOx-poisoning removing treatment of the catalyst wherein
the catalyst is held at a high temperature and a fuel-rich
air/fuel ratio. The controller determines that the catalyst (7)
has been poisoned with SOx when the NOx occluding ability has been
lowered below a threshold value, which is changed with a present
one of different operating states of the engine (1), so that the
SOx-poisoning removing treatment is effected only when the
treatment is necessary in the specific operating state of the
engine (1), thereby preventing an increase in the amount of
consumption of a fuel by the engine (1) and deterioration of the
exhaust emission of the engine (1).
