Patent EP-0794664-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YAMADA AKANE
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 1997-02-27
Abstract: A video camera with a recorder-reproducer
comprises an OSD IC and an LCD panel device that includes
a synchronization signal separation circuit, an LCD panel,
a signal line, and an LCD controller made of a horizontal
synchronization separation circuit and a PLL circuit. The
horizontal synchronization separation circuit separates a
horizontal synchronizing signal from a composite
synchronizing signal received from the synchronizing signal
separation circuit. The PLL circuit generates a reproduced
horizontal synchronizing signal in synchronism with the
horizontal synchronizing signal separated by the horizontal
synchronization separation circuit. The reproduced
horizontal synchronizing signal output by the PLL circuit
is fed to the LCD panel via the signal line. Although the
PLL circuit is intended to supply the reproduced horizontal
synchronizing signal primarily to the LCD panel, this
signal is also fed to the OSD IC via a terminal and a
switch.

Inventor: BLACKMAN WILLIAM C
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A slide lock for a power return measuring tape includes an elongated lock
member slidably mounted in a casing. The lock member has a resilient locking tongue
and follower pins extending laterally from lock member. The follower pins engage guide
means in the casing, which includes a guiding surface formed by a ridge in each side wall
to engage the pins, the guiding surface defining a descending path to guide the tongue
from a position above a measuring tape in the housing to a position in contact with the
measuring tape. A lock surface is formed at a lower end of the guiding surface with a
protrusion at a junction between the guiding surface and the lock surface. Movement of
the pins over the protrusion to the lock surface forces the tongue in contact with the
measuring blade and causes the tongue to bend to apply a clamping force to the
measuring blade. The movement of the pins over the protrusion produces a snap action
of the lock member, which provides a tactile and auditory indication that the lock
member is in the locked position.

Abstract: A steel billet is reduced to a bar in a hot steel mill rolling
operation by plural reductions successively produced by passage of
a workpiece through a series of reducing mill stands. Each mill
stand produces a workpiece having a rhombic shaped cross
sectional configuration during a reduction passage through each
mill stand. The plastic deformation of the workpiece produced by
the rollers in each mill stand not only reduces the cross sectional
area of the workpiece but also reverses the major and minor axes
of the rhombic cross section of the workpiece during passage
through each mill stand.

Abstract: A domestic water valve assembly (10) protects against water leaks by
closing a valve if a leak is detected. A leak is detected when a water

longer than a predetermined time-out period is detected or when the water
flow rate exceeds a predetermined high flow. The predetermined high
flow, low flow, and time-out period may be changed by an operator.
When a leak is detected, a control system activates an electric motor (50)
to close a valve, the valve remaining closed until reset by the operator.

Abstract: A method for heat treatment of a silicon wafer in a
reducing atmosphere through use of a rapid thermal annealer
(RTA) is provided. In the method, the silicon wafer is heat-treated
at a temperature of 1150°C to 1300°C for 1 see to 60
see in a mixture gas atmosphere of hydrogen and argon.
Hydrogen is present in the mixture gas atmosphere in an
amount of 10% to 80% by volume. Hydrogen is preferably
present in the mixture gas atmosphere in an amount of 20%
to 40% by volume. The method decreases COP density on the
surface of the silicon wafer to thereby improve electrical
characteristics, such as TZDB and TDDB, of the silicon wafer,
suppresses the generation of slip dislocation to thereby
prevent wafer breakage, and utilizes intrinsic advantages of
the RTA, such as improvement in productivity and reduction
in hydrogen gas usage.

Then the test bit pattern is copied into the reference memory, and the microprocessor (CPU) checks, if the patterns in the buffer and reference memories are the same. Then the microprocessor initiates a fault repairing operation, if the check did not find a coincidence.
