Abstract: A produce bag has one side wall of a synthetic resin mesh material. The bag offers increased strength and reliability when used with automatic bag filling equipment. The mesh material forms a rear wall of the bag when a group of the bags are placed on wicket pins of the equipment for receiving produce. The front or forward wall is of a synthetic resin film. A reinforcing strip of synthetic resin film is formed along an upper portion of the mesh wall of the bag and spaced holes for wicket pin attachment are formed in the reinforcing strip. The synthetic resin film side wall has a side wall portion which extends below the mesh wall, with a lower fold being formed in the film wall to form a bottom of the bag. The synthetic resin film side also has an extension from the lower fold which is folded upwardly to join with and enclose a lower portion of the mesh side wall. The bottom portion of the bag is thus formed of synthetic resin film which yields to the impact of articles entering the bag to fill it. No seam is present between the side walls of the bag in the bottom area of the bag where it would be subject to the impact of entering articles. Top corner juncture portions of the bag are formed where the reinforcing strip, mesh wall and resin wall overlap to afford increased bag strength, as well. The bag provides greater strength, uniformity, and reliability in automatic produce packing machine operations.

Abstract: Methods and systems for catalyzing the low temperature formation of silicon nitride. The methods and systems utilize catalytically reactive silica particles that are suspended by moving air within a reaction chamber and which are maintained at a temperature sufficient to cause the suspended silica particles to become catalytically reactive in the presence of carbon and nitrogen gas. Typically, the reaction chamber is maintained at a temperature in a range from about 150° C. to about 500° C. Moisture is generally provided by the organic matter, although additional moisture may be introduced into the reaction chamber in order to maintain reactivity of the silica particles. The silicon nitride is preferably deposited onto the surface of a metallic substrate, which might be located either within or externally to the reaction chamber. Depending on the ratio of oxygen to nitrogen provided within the reaction chamber, silicon nitride or a mixture of silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride will be produced.

Abstract: A system for obtaining a relatively high dynamic range image of a scene is disclosed, using a relatively low dynamic range image sensor. An array of image sensors each has a preset sensitivity level in accordance with a predetermined sensitivity pattern for the array, and a respective response function, producing a captured image brightness value at a corresponding first pixel positions of a pixel position array in response to light from the scene.  A captured image memory stores captured image brightness for the pixels, and a first pixel position generator provides the pixel positions of the pixel position array. A sensitivity pattern memory stores data indicative of the sensitivity level corresponding to each one of the first pixel positions of the pixel position array.  A response function compensator receives pixel positions from the first pixel position generator, sensitivity level data and captured image brightness values, and being responsive to a pixel position received from the first pixel position generator compensates the captured image brightness value at the received pixel position by the inverse of the response function of a light-sensing element having the sensitivity level corresponding to the received pixel position to provide a compensated brightness value at the pixel position received from the first pixel position generator. A compensated on-grid brightness value memory stores respective compensated captured image values at the pixel positions received from the first pixel position generator and a second pixel position generator provides further pixel positions of the pixel position array. An on-grid brightness value generator derives an output image brightness value at each received pixel position from the compensated captured image brightness values and an output image memory stores the respective output image brightness value at each pixel position received from the second pixel position generator.

Abstract: An acoustic transducer comprising a substrate; and a diaphragm formed by depositing a micromachined membrane onto the substrate. The diaphragm is formed as a single silicon chip using a CMOS MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) semiconductor fabrication process. The curling of the diaphragm during fabrication is reduced by depositing the micromachined membrane for the diaphragm in a serpentine-spring configuration with alternating longer and shorter arms. As a microspeaker, the acoustic transducer of the present invention converts a digital audio input signal directly into a sound wave, resulting in a very high quality sound reproduction at a lower cost of production in comparison to conventional acoustic transducers. The micromachined diaphragm may also be used in microphone applications.
