IPC: H01L27/108
Filed: 1996-11-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the number of contacts provided between two conductive layers separated by an insulator in a semiconductor integrated circuit chip is disclosed. In a first row of contacts, each contact (314) in the row is separated by a distance, L. A second row of contacts is formed parallel to the first row. Each contact (310, 312) in the second row is spaced a distance of L from other contacts in the row. However, the second row is staggered from the first row, such that each contact is halfway between adjacent contacts in the first row. Each contact in the second row is located a distance of L from the two closest contacts in the first row. Successive rows are formed in similar staggered manner.

Abstract: The ink jet printer comprises an entrance (11), a printing area (10) with a printhead (15) and an outlet (12). A rotating roller (23) and a back-up cunter-rollers (27) pressed resiliently against the rotating roller (23), and a fixed crosspiece (35) aligned with the circumference of the rotating roller (23), are mounted upstream of the printing area (10). 
     A driving roller (41) provided with points (43) and cooperating with counter-rollers (46) is arranged at the outlet of the printing area and made rotate so as to tauten the sheet to be printed in the printing area (10). The rollers (23,41) and the fixed crosspiece (35) arranged beside the printhead define a reference level creating a predetermined gap (h) with the front surface (20) of the printhead. The latter is thus at a constant distance from the surface of the sheet to be printed, regardless of thickness of the material to be printed, without having to make any provision for an adjusting mechanism. This produces a very precise, reliable printer, at a low cost price.

Abstract: The boot retainer consists of a base which is attached to the snow board, and a rear support which is pivoted to the base. The base and rear support are connected by a spring-loaded element with a brake (30,49) which opposes the rotation of the pivot in an anterio-posterior direction. The rear support can be in one piece or in two sections, an upper shell and a lower arch which is articulated to the base. The spring-loaded element contains a compression spring which tends to push the base and support apart. The brake is formed by a friction element (30) or a fluid inside a cylinder (17).

Abstract: Apparatuses related to laser-assisted transmyocardial revascularization are provided and more particularly, apparatuses for precisely positioning a fiber-optic or other waveguide adjacent the area or areas to be lased, including at positions adjacent the posterior epicardial and endocardial surfaces of the heart and at trans-septal positions within the chambers of the heart, thereby making possible the creation of channels in myocardial tissue at precisely the positions in the heart where ischemia or infarction or other have rendered such treatment desirable or necessary. These apparatuses can be adapted for use in surgical applications throughout the human body or in animals for transmitting laser energy precisely, at predetermined positions and to predetermined depths. A catheter device for performing laser-assisted transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), particularly adapted for delivery of laser energy via a laser delivery means or manipulation of some other apparatus inside a body cavity or organ chamber where the depth of delivery of the laser energy is critical to the procedure, comprises an outer lumen and a depth stop, the depth stop having a deploying means, such that when the catheter device is placed adjacent tissue to be lased and the depth stop is deployed, the spatial reference of the position of the catheter device and the laser delivery means or other apparatus used in the catheter device is maintained in a predetermined position relative to the position of the distal end of the outer lumen. Deployment of the depth stop consists of inflating a balloon tip, or there may also be an inner lumen such that deployment comprises slightly retracting the inner lumen such that an expanding mechanism such as a braided basket or "moly bolt" device increases the diameter of the end of the catheter device, thereby providing a contacting surface for performing the surgical procedure, whether it be laser ablation, visualization, or other.

Abstract: In a photography method for a phosphor film (220) that provides correction of the effects of spontaneous electron return in the phosphor film, a latent image (401) having an image area (403) and a calibration area (405) is formed in the phosphor film by exposing the phosphor film to light (202) from a subject to form the image area, and by simultaneously exposing the phosphor film to light of an energy that produces a known saturation level to form the calibration area. The latent image is reproduced by stimulating it to emit light, and generating a frame of image data (659) in response to the emitted light. The image data include a calibration data set (663) representing the light emitted by the calibration area, and an image data set (661) representing the light emitted by the image area. The image data are corrected using a calibration factor derived from the calibration data set to generate corrected image data that are corrected for spontaneous electron return. A camera (200) that captures images using a phosphor film comprises a camera body (250), and a phosphor film (220), a shutter (205) and a light source (240) mounted in the camera body. Light (202) admitted through the shutter forms an image area (403) of a latent image (401) on the film. The light source is mounted so that light therefrom falls on the film. The light source is operable simultaneously with the shutter to expose the phosphor film to light of an energy that produces a known saturation level in a calibration area (405) of the latent image.

Abstract: A highly thermally conductive but yet highly conformable composition is made from gel filled with alumina. The use of  alpha -alumina in which at least 10 weight % of the  alpha -alumina particles have a particle size of at least 74  mu m makes possible the high filler levels needed to attain high thermal conductivity, without causing the decrease in elongation and softness normally associated with high filler levels. Further improvements are observed if the  alpha -alumina and the gel (or precursor thereof) are mixed with a specific energy input of at least 10 Joule/g. The input of such specific energy has the effect making the resulting composition more conformable than it otherwise would be. The composition may be internally supported by a flexible matrix such as a fabric or open-celled foam.
