IPC: E06B7/215
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A fixing device for draught excluders which include a first profile shaped like an
inverted U to be fixed inside a seat formed in the lower edge of a door or window unit and
a second U-shaped profile which can slide in a guillotine-like fashion in the first profile so
as to close a gap present between the edge and the floor; expansion means being
associated with the first profile and gradually engaging the walls of the seat so as to
detachably fix the first profile to the unit. The invention solves the problems observed in
fixing known draught excluders, since it makes them practical, fast and extremely easy to
install in units made of any material.

Abstract: System in which patient data from disposables are transmitted to a central diagnostic center. Disposables (1) carry an individual coding key for encoding patient data in a patient station (2). The disposable data is then sent over a data network to the diagnosis receiver station (3), while at the same time a code for the patient station and a disposable ID is sent in an unencoded format. The receiver station (3) is connected over a secure network with the disposable producer (7) in order to request a key corresponding to the disposable ID, so that the data can be decoded. Examples of disposables are bio-chips such as sensor chips that are used to analyze a patient blood drop, medicines that include details of tablets, etc. Data from any of these are sent to a central station so that patient data can be used to make a diagnosis or medicine details can be checked to see what a patient has taken. The disposable manufacturer assigns each disposable ID and retains a key for that ID that is requested by the central station at a later data when it receives that particular disposable.

IPC: H01L21/338
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: The conventional compound semiconductor switching device is
prone to have a large chip size as the gate width needs to be
large for achieving a low insertion loss and the separation
between the connecting pad and the circuit wiring needs to be
larger than 20 µm for obtaining a proper isolation between
them. The overall chip size is reduced, first, by reducing
the gate width (Wg) of the switching FET operating at frequencies
above 2.4 GHz to 700 µm or smaller together with the
omission of the shunt FET, and, then, by reducing the separation
between the connecting pad and the circuit wiring to 20
µm or smaller. This reduction of the separation is made possible
by the introduction of an insulating film and a impurity
region (40) between the outermost portion of the connecting
pad and the substrate for preventing the extension of
the depletion layer. The manufacturing method of this device
does not need any additional processing step for accommodating
the above structure, and is capable of producing a device
having a size of one fifth of the conventional device. Further
it allows for removing of an silicon nitride film from
an area underneath the connection pad, thereby improving ease
of manufacture and quality of the devices manufactured.

Abstract: An input device for a personal computer or the like has
an elastic member, a slider horizontally movable on the
elastic member, and a key top operatively connected to the
elastic member through the slider. The elastic member 5 has
a coupling portion provided with a flange which vertically
movably fits in a fit hole formed in the slider. A
horizontal movement of the key top causes the wall of the
fit hole of the slider to press the flange, which in turn
causes deformation of the flange and of the movable
electrode, with the result that the size of the gap and,
hence, capacitive value between the movable electrode and
the fixed electrode are changed, whereby the direction of
movement of the key top is detected with a high degree of
accuracy.

Abstract: A self-supporting package of strand is disclosed. The disclosed method of manufacturing a package of strand (40) is directed to the bulk collection of the strand. The disclosed strand collection system includes an attenuator (100) that attenuates filaments (20) from a bushing. The attenuator includes a pair of belts (112, 132) between which the strand is pinched to pull the filaments from the bushing. The attenuator directs the strand to a deflector assembly (200) that slows down and imparts a degree of movement to the strand. The deflector assembly includes primary and secondary deflector surfaces (222, 214) which the strand engages. After the strand deflects off the secondary deflector surface, it is directed into a container assembly (300). The attenuator and deflector assembly traverse above the container assembly to deposit the strand. The container assembly is periodically vibrated by a vibrating mechanism (400) as it collects strand. The vibrations settle and shift the strand in the container assembly for better strand distribution. The container assembly includes an outer container (310) with perforations (336) through which air and water can flow to remove moisture from the package. The container assembly also includes an inner container (370) that provides support during the shipping of the package after the outer container is removed. After the strand has filled the container assembly, the container assembly and strand is dielectrically dried. The package (500) may include intra-package splices (698) of the strand if the strand breaks during the collection process. The strand collection system couples filaments or strands together to reduce or eliminate slippage of the strands when they are pulled from the package. The links are referred to as authentic links. When the strands have been coupled, the strands are easily and accurately run out of the package.
