Patent EP-1113047-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IIZUKA MUNENORI
IPC: H01B1/24
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: Disclosed herein are a mixed resin compound, a resin
pipe, a process for producing said resin pipe, and a
photosensitive drum. The resin compound meets at least one
of the following requirements. It is a mixture of two or
more kinds of resins blended in a specific manner, it
undergoes annealing under specific conditions, and it has
specific values of surface roughness, Vickers hardness,
coefficient of linear expansion, flexural modulus, and
thermal conductivity. The resin pipe is suitable for use as
the cylindrical base of the photosensitive drum for
electrophotographic machines, such as copying machines,
facsimiles, and printers. It is superior in surface
smoothness, dimensional stability, coatability, and
handlability, and hence it is very little vulnerable to
damage during handling and dimensional change due to resin
shrinkage and is superior in heat resistance (desirable for
solvent removal) and mechanical strength (desirable for
flange fitting).

Abstract: The system uses one protocol to make requests, and additional protocol as required to access specific objects. The access procedure uses at least two protocols (Pa, Pb, Pc) for accessing the objects in a tree (80) representative of at least one system resource. The procedure comprises at least one cycle comprising the following stages. A request (87) is made designating a target object (81) to access in the tree and having a range of one level only under the target object. A factory access protocol attribute of the object (81) is used to indicate its access protocol (Pc) to allow access to the target object by means of an interface. A response to the request is obtained including at least one naming attribute of each object (82,83) contained within the range of the request and, if an object contained within the range of the request has a different access protocol from that of the target object, the access protocol attribute of this object is also included.

Abstract: A method of transmitting voice information from an electronic
communications device (1) comprises the steps of
receiving the voice information from the environment of
the device together with a first background sound, generating
a sound signal having a first signal part representing
the voice information and a second signal part
representing the first background sound, reducing the
signal part representing the first background sound, and
transmitting the sound signal through a communications
channel to which the device is connected. The method further
comprises the step of adding to the sound signal an
additional signal representing a second background sound.
In this way background noise can be removed, while a
natural and comfortable conversation can be maintained
without revealing the location of the user of the device.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for producing multi-layer peelable sheaths having formed tips, for
use as medical introducer devices, e.g., sheaths for inserting a catheter or the like into a
patient. The methods include the steps of preparing a first composition blend for forming
an inner layer of the multi-layer sheath, preparing a second composition blend for forming
an outermost layer of the multi-layer sheath, combining the first and the second
composition blends into a multi-layer pre-form, processing the multi-layer pre-form for
producing tubing, and forming a tip at one end of the tubing using a thermal process,
thereby producing the multi-layer sheath having the inner layer, the outermost layer, and
the formed tip. The methods of the present invention include adding a detectable material
to the blend used for making the inner layer for facilitating external visualization of the
multi-layer sheath, thereby achieving a sheath with a formed tip having no visible
discoloration. The methods also incorporate a reduced sintering process for achieving an
optimally cured, peelable sheath having excellent tear properties.

Abstract: In a method for providing copy-protection services on a storage medium (for instance a solid state memory module), the data are arranged in sectors to which a field (S4T) is associated, where said field contains a random value Ri which is changed randomly when writing data to said sector. By encrypting the data stored on the medium using a key which depends critically on said random numbers, bit-by-bit copies (apart from said random numbers, which can not be deterministically changed by an application) to a second storage medium or recopies from some intermediate storage medium, can not be decrypted because the values of said random numbers will have changed, thus preventing unauthorized duplication and replay attacks.

IPC: G01N23/20
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: The teachings of the subject invention lead to a new application of the XRR and RXRR systems. In particular, it has been recognized for the first time that such systems can be used to measure thickness of a variety of thin films (both dielectric, opaque and metal films) on patterned wafers where the feature size is smaller than the measurement spot. Broadly speaking, one aspect of the invention is the recognition that XRR and RXRR systems can be used not only on test wafers but on patterned wafers as well. The approach of the present invention to measuring the film thicknesses of patterned semiconductor wafers using XRR relies on the recognition that the measured X-ray reflection curve can be attributed primarily to the thicknesses of the layers rather than the structure of the pattern.

Abstract: Poly(ethylene glycol) carbamate derivatives useful as water-soluble pro-drugs are disclosed. These degradable poly(ethylene glycol) carbamate derivatives also have potential applications in controlled hydrolytic degradation of hydrogels. In such degradable hydrogels, drugs may be either trapped in the gel and released by diffusion as the gel degrades, or they may be covalently bound through hydrolyzable carbamate linkages. Hydrolysis of these carbamate linkages releases the amine drug at a controllable rate as the gel degrades.
