Patent EP-0867806-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MEALEY BRUCE GERARD
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: An improved operating system for a computer provides support for
specific hardware components. The operating system is loaded by first
loading a base portion which initializes the operating system and
determines the particular type of hardware components present. Then,
appropriate software components are loaded that are specifically
associated with the hardware components. The hardware components can be
detected by leaving a trace in the memory device that is associated with
the software component and later retrieving the trace, or by testing the
computer for the hardware component. The hardware component may be a bus
architecture selected from a group of bus architectures, and bus-independent
interfaces are defined which are mapped to addresses in the
kernel. Alternatively, the software component can include a PAL which
contains specific instructions for communicating with the hardware
component. The PAL is constructed from a plurality of files each
associated with the hardware component.

Abstract: An improved method of making glass building elements
filled with cured polydiorganosiloxane compositions. The
method comprises first coating the interior surfaces of a
hollow glass block with a first curable polydiorganosiloxane
composition. This first composition is then cured. Next,
the block is charged with a quantity of a second curable
polydiorganosiloxane composition. This second composition
is then cured to form the building element. The resultant
element has improved aesthetics because of the decreased
quantity of entrapped bubbles.

Abstract: A conductive feedthrough connector for conducting
electrical current through a ceramic body. A ceramic
body is generally fabricated by stacking a plurality
of layers of ceramic material and then sintering the
stack of layers to cure the layers into a unitary,
solid ceramic body. In accordance with the present
invention, as each layer is positioned, a portion of
the layer is silk screened with conductive material
prior to the next layer being positioned atop the silk
screened layer. Each silk screen region is coaxially
aligned along an axis through the ceramic body. The
stack of silk screened layers are then sintered to
form a solid ceramic body containing the plurality of
stacked metal electrodes. A first conductor is then
formed vertically into the ceramic body to
interconnect the embedded electrodes. From the
opposite side of the ceramic body, a second conductor
is formed into the surface passing through and
interconnecting one or more the layers of electrodes.
As such, a conductive path is formed between the first
conductor on one side of the ceramic body and the
second conductor on the other side of the ceramic
body.

Abstract: A signal reproducing method for reproducing
information by domain wall displacement on a recording
medium having recorded information comprises steps of
projecting a light spot onto the recording medium to
cause temperature distribution thereon, moving
relatively the light spot and the recording medium,
applying a reproducing magnetic field to the light spot
area on the recording medium to prevent displacement of
the domain wall from the rear portion of the moving
light spot into the inside thereof, and detecting the
domain wall displacement to reproduce the information.
The temperature gradient may satisfy the relation
below:
 |G1| > |G2| 
where G1 is the temperature gradient in the front
portion in the moving direction, and G2 is the
temperature gradient in the rear portion in the moving
direction. The recording medium has a first magnetic
layer enabling displacement of the domain wall, a third
magnetic layer for memorizing information, and a second
magnetic layer provided between the first magnetic
layer and the third magnetic layer, and having a Curie
temperature lower than the Curie temperature
temperatures of the first magnetic layer and the third
magnetic layer.

Abstract: The present invention was accomplished noting that
a range of information desired to select differed
according to a mode selected. For example, even in the
case where a plurality of information pieces were
grouped, an erasing operation was often effected only
in part thereof. In that case, complicated processes
were required, steps to delete the desired partial data
after once ungrouping the information group for every
erasure operation and to regroup the information pieces
thereafter. The present invention enhances operability
by an automatic changeover to designate either a single
piece of information or the whole group as a range of
information to be selected as a processed object
according to a mode selected.

Abstract: A polishing system such as a chemical mechanical belt polisher includes a
hydrostatic fluid bearing that supports polishing pads and incorporates one or more of the
following novel aspects. One aspect uses compliant surfaces (230) surrounding fluid inlets
(210) in an array of inlets to extend areas of elevated support pressure around the inlets.
Another aspect modulates or reverses fluid flow in the bearing to reduce deviations in the
time averaged support pressure and to induce vibrations in the polishing pads to improve
polishing performance. Another aspect provides a hydrostatic bearing (600) with a cavity
(610) having a lateral extent greater than that of an object being polished. The depth an
d bottom contour of cavity (610) are arranged to provide nearly uniform support pressure
across an area that is surrounded by a retaining ring support (630). Changing fluid
pressure to the retaining ring support (630) adjusts the fluid film thickness of the bearing.
Yet another aspect of the invention provides a hydrostatic bearing (700) with spiral or
partial cardioid drain grooves (730). This bearing has a non-uniform support pressure
profile but provides a uniform average pressure to a wafer that is rotated relative to the
centre of the bearing. Another aspect of the invention provides a hydrostatic bearing with
constant fluid pressure at inlets but a support pressure profile that is adjustable by changing
the relative heights of fluid inlets (812) to alter local fluid film thicknesses in the
hydrostatic bearing.

Abstract: A computerized method/system is provided for planning
motion of a robot within a free space confined by obstacles,
from an initial position to a goal position. In executing
the method/system, a plan is generated so that the robot can
hold and maneuver a workpiece throughout a sequence of
bending operations to be performed by a bending apparatus.
A plurality of proposed movements to be made by the robot
are proposed for an mth movement within a sequence of
movements, and at least a portion of the robot and the
obstacles that confine the free space are modeled. A
determination is made as to whether a collision will occur
between the robot and an obstacle for each proposed
movement, and a plan is generated including the sequence of
movements by choosing for each movement in the sequence of
movements, a proposed movement that will not result in a
collision and that will bring the robot closer to the goal
position. In choosing proposed movements, an estimated cost
associated with each proposed movement may be taken into
account. The estimated cost may be based upon a euclidian
distance to the goal position from the position of the robot
after the particular proposed movement is made as the mth
movement, and/or the estimated cost may be determined as a
function of the robot travel time from an (m -1)th movement
to the mth movement. Different methods are provided for
performing fine motion planning and gross motion planning.

Abstract: In the occurrence of a data modem establishing a data
communication session over a telephone line, a method is disclosed for
detecting the modem and subsequently reducing the telephone line
current. Initially, when a new telephone call is begun, the line current is
set as normal to a current sufficient to power a standard telephone
handset. Subsequently, using modulation detection techniques, it is
determined whether a modem data session has been initiated on the
particular telephone line. If such a session has begun, the normal current
level on the telephone line is unnecessary since data modems are locally
powered. To minimize wasted power and reduce thermal problems
caused by the modem dissipating the excessive current, a reduced
current is set on the telephone line. This reduced current is either a
predetermined modem current level or a minimum allowable current for
the particular telephone line, as calculated within the line interface
circuit.
