Abstract: An inexpensive, high-performance, fully-integrable, multi-standard transceiver with a topology including: an active mixer, followed by a high pass filter, and a passive mixer. The input signal is modulated up, or demodulated down, using a pair of complementary, aperiodic mixing signals. The use of aperiodic mixing signals allows a fully-integrated transceiver to be built. Embodiments of the active mixer include those having electrically-adjustable performance and allowing multiple RF signal inputs. This allows the topology to be employed in multi-band, multi-frequency applications, while still providing high performance.

Patent EP-1451871-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DE JONGH PETRA E
IPC: G06F21/75
Filed: 2002-11-28
Abstract: The semiconductor device (11) of the invention comprises a circuit covered by a passivation structure (50). It is provided with a first and a second security element (12A, 12B) which comprise local areas of the passivation structure (50), and with a first and a second electrode (14,15). The security elements (12A, 12B) have a first and a second impedance, respectively, which impedances differ. This is realized in that the passivation structure has an effective dielectric constant that varies laterally over the circuit. Actual values of the impedances are measured by measuring means and transferred to an access device by transferring means. The access device comprises or has access to a central database device for storing the impedances. The access device furthermore may compare the actual values with the stored values of the impedances in order to check the authenticity or the identity of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: In a vehicular lever switch having a resistor (52) at a fixed
contact plate (50) to be combined with a pivoting knob (40), when a
passenger charged with static electricity touches the lever (10),
the resistor (52) is to be prevented from being damaged. A fixed
contact plate (75) is arranged with a resistor (52) and conductors (54,55) and
extended from both ends thereof in a ring-like shape to
constitute a fixed contact. Further, an extended portion
extended in a circular arc shape is formed on an outer side
of the resistor (52) with a gap from the conductor (54,55). Even when the
hand of a passenger charged with static electricity touches
a vicinity of a pivoting knob (40) and the static electricity is
applied to the fixed contact plate (75), the static electricity
flows to the extended portion and discharged via the conductor (54,55)
and a terminal (56,57). Thereby, the resistor (52) is not damaged by static
electricity. Further, it is not necessary to ensure a distance
from an end edge of the pivoting knob (40) to the fixed contact plate (75)
to be long in order to avoid propagation of static electricity
and therefore, a degree of freedom of a shape of the lever (10) can
be enhanced.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an
electron beam lithography system and an electron beam
lithography method that reduce drawing discrepancy caused
by thermal expansion of a target wafer, and that thereby
easily achieve drawing with a high degree of accuracy. 
     There is provided an electron beam lithography
system that draws circuit patterns on a target wafer 1 by
use of an electron beam 3, said electron beam lithography
system including an electro-optic system 106 and a target
chamber 108. A computer 103 used for calculating thermal
deformation is provided outside a control computer 101.
When the application of the electron beam 3 increases a
temperature of the target wafer 1, the amount of
discrepancy caused by thermal deformation is calculated
from a dose of the electron beam 3. Then, by handling the
amount of discrepancy as compensation data used for a
drawing program to be supplied to an electron beam
deflector 107, the effect of the thermal deformation is
compensated.

Abstract: To make it possible to draw an image as intended. 
     A printing device 1 displays a previewed image on a surface for printing (printing paper or a surface for pasting a print) to allow the user to preview how content data will be printed. As the user adjusts the previewed image to obtain intended results, an image identical to the image being previewed is printed on the printing paper. This makes it easy to print desired content. Specifically, since the user can verify an image displayed on the surface on which the image will be actually printed or pasted, it is poss ible to prevent the actual print produced or pasted on the printing paper from differing from the user's expectations.
