Patent EP-1280201-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HEGDE SHANKAR
IPC: H01L23/40
Filed: 2002-07-29
Abstract: A spring clip  10  that has rocking and force profiles with attachment
configurations is disclosed. The spring clip  10  made out of spring quality material
such as stainless steel and the spring clip  10  includes special provisions for
mounting a cylindrical cooling device  2  (i.e. a heat sink). Swinging arm principles are
used to form force profiles that ensure that a load center of the clip  10  is always on a
fulcrum axis thereby focusing the force  F  of the clip  10  on a required load axis  B-B. 
The spring clip  10  can accommodate higher manufacturing deviations without
sacrificing the functional requirements. Moreover, the spring clip  10  allows the heat
sink  2  to be inserted and then rotated in order to mount the heat sink  2  on the
component  4  to be cooled thereby ensuring easy insertion of the heat sink  2  and
easy removal of the heat sink  2  when the component  4  being cooled requires
replacement or repair. The spring clip  10  can be manufactured at a low cost using
stamping and forming processes.

Abstract: An optical circuit device comprises a substrate (10)
of a III-V group compound semiconductor, and a magnetic
semiconductor layer (14) having a chalcopyrite type
crystal structure. A magnetic semiconductor having the
chalcopyrite type crystal structure is a material which
can provide the Faraday effect, and, therefore, can be
used to form a Faraday rotation element (22).
Furthermore, a magnetic semiconductor having the
chalcopyrite type crystal structure that is lattice-matched
with the substrate (10), has fewer crystal
defects, which can reduce light loss from the Faraday
rotation element (22). A magnetic semiconductor of the
chalcopyrite type crystal structure can provide a large
Verdet's constant, which makes it possible to reduce a
length of the Faraday rotation element (22) and,
therefore, to micronize such an optical circuit device.

Abstract: The invention allows an accurate positioning to obtain a large inertia torque at starting. Especially, it prevents retrogradation that may occur when rotating an engine in the reverse direction by a motor and shutting down for positioning. 
     At starting, the motor is energized by a first reverse rotation unit 111 to rotate the engine in the reverse direction to the position in the vicinity of the top dead center. After reverse rotation by the first reverse rotation unit 111, a second reverse rotation unit 113 energizes the engine further in the direction of reverse rotation with a small torque while reducing an exciting current to the motor. The exciting current is set to a degree that can obtain a braking effect for reducing retrogradation that may occur when the engine is stopped at a predetermined position within a high-load region after being rotated in the reverse direction. A stop position is set in advance between the top dead center on the compression stroke immediately before and the range of opening and closing operation of an exhaust valve, and whether or not the engine has reached the stop position may be recognized by a crank angle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for deshuffling received shuffled data in a communication system supporting multi-level modulation. A transmitter encodes information bits and shuffles code symbols so that systematic symbols having a relatively high priority are disposed at high-transmission reliability positions and parity symbols having a relatively low priority are disposed at low-transmission reliability positionsin a modulation symbol. A receiver demodulates received data and outputs a modulation symbol having a plurality of code symbols, stores the code symbols separately as systematic symbols and parity symbols in corresponding memory areas according to a deshuffling order corresponding to the shuffling, reads the stored code symbols, decodes the stored code symbols at a predetermined code rate, and thus outputs an packet.

speed ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio. One of the torque transmitting
mechanisms may be eliminated to provide at least five forward speed
ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio. Also, two of the torque transmitting
mechanisms may function as one of the input clutches to reduce content.

Abstract: A write driver 100, 200, 300 is implemented to provide
near-ground common mode output voltages to produce a more
symmetrical head voltage swing (i.e.  ±0.4 V    from ground to  ±5 V   
supply voltages). These features help to reduce the effects of
common mode impedance associated with the interconnection to the
disk drive head to improve overall performance. Lower jitter at
high data rates can be achieved when compared to prior art
techniques for implementing current mode write drivers.
Further, the matched impedance between the write driver 100 and
the interconnection 106 eliminates unwanted reflections. ECL
level voltage swings (200-500mV) have replaced more conventional
CMOS level voltage swings (5V) to further reduce overall power
dissipation associated with the write driver. The small ECL
level switching further maintains constant power dissipation
with changes in operating frequency and results in less NTLS
effects due to quieter supplies.

Abstract: An information retrieval apparatus for searching a set of information items. The apparatus comprises a mapping processor, a graphical user interface, a user control and a search processor. The mapping processor is operable to generate data representative of a map of information items from a set of information items. The map provides the information items with respect to positions in an array in accordance with a mutual similarity of the information items, similar information items mapping to similar positions in the array. The graphical user interface displays a representation of at least some of the information items, and the user control is provided for selecting an information item. The search processor is operable to perform a related search with respect to the user selected information item by identifying information items which correspond to neighbouring position in the array with respect to the array position corresponding to the user selected information item. Since the search processor is arranged to identify information items in the search from the array rather than by searching the information items for some characterising information feature, such as a keyword, searching for information items of interest can be effected with a reduced complexity.

Abstract: An ATIP decoder (6) detects an ATIP synchronization signal from a wobble signal which was recorded on an optical disk (1) as a wobble of pregrooves formed on the optical disk. An optical disk encoder (7) performs EFM modulation on information to be recorded, inserting a subcode frame synchronization signal into the information to be recorded at a predetermined position, and outputting an EFM pattern to be recoded. The optical disk encoder includes an EFM outputting timing control (13) which controls a timing at which the EFM pattern is output. The EFM outputting timing control circuit performs information recording timing initialization, before the EFM pattern is actually recorded on the optical disk, in which initialization the phase between a timing at which the ATIP synchronization signal is detected from the optical disk and a timing at which the subcode frame synchronization signal is recorded on the optical disk is adjustable.
