Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for sensing biometric information in a finger with piezo ceramic elements. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an array of discrete piezo ceramic elements and filler. The array of discrete piezo ceramic elements is responsive to acoustic characteristics of parts of the finger. The filler is distributed between the discrete piezo ceramic elements and provides acoustic attenuation and electric isolation between the discrete piezo ceramic elements. A protective layer can receive a ridge pattern of the finger positioned proximate to the array. Air in valleys between ridges of the ridge pattern of the finger acts as an acoustic barrier. A backing layer (air or foam) can also be provided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for forming a coating film, consisting of nanotubes, the surface of a substrate, which consists in contacting said surface with a gaseous atmosphere containing at least a carbon compound and causing thermal decomposition of said compound; therefor the part of the substrate surface which is to be coated is subjected to direct heating with means different from means possibly used for heating the gaseous atmosphere. Thus the nanotubes are grown perpendicularly to the surface of the substrate, with uniform spacing of their axes. An electron-emitting cathode, wherein the electron-emitting source consists of such a coating film, exhibits better emitting homogeneity as well as reduced operating voltage, compared to a cathode provided with a carbon nanotube coating film formed with a method in conformity with prior art.

At least one diverting rail is configured to selectively guide at least one of the pusher shoes laterally of the conveying surface. At least one diverter associated with the diverting rail is adapted to selectively transfer one or more pusher shoes to the diverting rail. The diverting rail has at least a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is at a first angle with respect to the longitudinal direction and the second portion is at a second angle with respect to the longitudinal direction that is different from the first angle. A pusher shoe guided by the diverting rail travels at a first lateral rate along the first portion and at a second, different lateral rate along the second portion. The first angle may be less than the second angle and a pusher shoe guided by the diverting rail traveling at the first lateral rate initially contacts an article on said conveying surface at the first portion. The second lateral rate would be higher than the first lateral rate for the duration of the diverting of the article. The diverting rail may be at least partially curved thereby providing a gradual junction between the first and second portions.

Abstract: A flash non-volatile memory system that normally operates its memory cells in multiple storage states is provided with the ability to operate some selected or all of its memory cell blocks in two states instead. The two states are selected to be the furthest separated of the multiple states, thereby providing an increased margin during two state operation. This allows faster programming and a longer operational life of the memory cells being operated in two states when it is more desirable to have these advantages than the increased density of data storage that multi-state operation provides.

Abstract: A method and system for instantaneous heat-sink soldering comprising a gripper device, an intense heat source, and an air-jet cooling system is provided for soldering terminals to structures of dissimilar material composition. The gripper device is adapted to secure the terminal between a pair of jaws and selectively position the terminal closely adjacent the structure. The jaws further serve as heat sinks to continually remove residual heat from the terminal, both during and after the application of heat to the terminal. Upon termination of the heat application, air-jet cooling is provided to the terminal to quickly cool the terminal and the molten layer of solder. The method of rapidly heating and cooling the terminal and layer of solder prevents the annealing of certain silica substrates and provides better solder connections. <IMAGE>
