Patent EP-0484833-A3 (EP)
Title: Time switch device
IPC: G04G15/00
Filed: 1991-11-01
Abstract: A time switch device (31) for a sequence of control signals (39) to be transmitted as a function of time, for example for the time-dependent variation of command variables in control engineering or for directly switching operating or checking devices on or off as a function of time, is intended to be capable of easier control by an operator while being designed for greater ease of production. For these purposes, the ability for the time-locking circuit to be influenced manually by the user or for it to be decoded by interrogation is completely abandoned, and instead the time switch device (31) is fitted from the outset in the factory with a lithium battery (32), which is typically designed with a lifetime of at least ten years, and taken into operation such that it cannot be switched off. This time switch device (31) therefore already runs correctly when commissioned without the need for the operator to intervene in its functioning. All that remains necessary manually is to select between a number of prescribed switchover time sequences by means of a program changeover switch (37), for which purpose there is also no need for any user guidance on the display, which means that it is also possible to abandon a (time) display, including the functionally critical multiple connections to display/control circuits, which are complicated in terms of circuitry, and likewise to abandon the setting switch wiring that is otherwise required for intervention in the time-dependent switching sequence. <IMAGE>

Title: Semiconductor memory/integrated circuit device with discriminator for diagnostic mode of operation
IPC: G11C29/46
Filed: 1992-06-19
Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is subjected to a test operation, before delivery from the factory, for screening defective products. The device is placed in a diagnostic mode for carrying out the test operation on the signal circuits (23 to 32) when a discriminator (33) produces an internal control signal (EBL) for the test operation. The data and power signals (CS/ WE/ A1 to Ax/ A1 to Ay) supplied to the device pins have active levels within a predetermined voltage range. The discriminator is responsive to a test signal (TS) received at a test pin and is activated at a level which lies outside the predetermined voltage range. Thus the semiconductor memory device does not mistakenly enter the diagnostic mode after being assembled in an electronic system. <IMAGE>

Title: Tapping tee assembly
Inventor: BRENNAN MICHAEL
IPC: B23B41/08
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: The tapping device includes a body that receives a cutter and sleeve. The cutter and sleeve advance together to form an opening in the sidewall of a main conduit about which the body is secured. The sleeve includes external threads that grip into the conduit sidewall. Thereafter, retraction of the cutter leaves the sleeve in place to secure the tapping device to the conduit and establish fluid communication therethrough. The cutter and sleeve preferably have different thread pitches, so that the sleeve advances at a slightly faster rate than the cutter. This facilitates sealing engagement between the external surface of the main conduit and the body. A one-way drive arrangement is provided between the sleeve and cutter so that once the sleeve is positioned in place, the cutter can be removed without altering the location of the sleeve.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to the method for the
detection of creatinine in which creatinine, in aqueous
solution, is contacted with a dry reagent system of an
indicator for creatinine. The assay is carried out at a
pH above about 11.5 which is maintained by an alkaline
material. The improvement involves packaging the reagent
system with a material capable of absorbing CO 2  and at
least some ambient water vapor. This inhibits the formation
of carbonic acid thereby reducing the neutralization
of the alkaline reagent system during storage to increase
the shelf life and decrease the variability of the system.

Abstract: An improved solar cell design and method
of fabrication that primarily uses two materials, n-type
doped silicon and aluminum to form a p-n alloy
junction back contact solar cell. The aluminum
alloy junctions are placed on the back
(unilluminated) side of the cell, thereby combining
the desirable features of aluminum (as a dopant,
contact metal and light reflector), with the
advantages of a back contact cell. The cell design
and method of fabrication includes such features as
surface texturing, front and back surface field
minority carrier mirrors, surface passivation using
oxidation layers, use of Al contacts as light
reflectors, intrinsic protection against reverse
bias due to contiguous n +  and p +  regions, and an
improved bus bar contact design suitable for
interconnecting cells using a surface mount
technology. An improved method of ohmic contact
formation uses a self-alignment technique for
forming the ohmic contacts.

Abstract: In the disclosure a plasma is confined within a
chamber (10) without relying entirely on the chamber
walls by introducing a magnetic field across an area
or plane through which plasma flow is to be stopped.
For example, in order to prevent plasma from leaking
or flowing through openings (46,50) necessarily
provided the chamber walls, a magnetic field is
established at the entrance of the reactor chamber to
such an opening, by placing a pair of opposing
magnetic poles (60,62; 74,76) across the opening, for
example. The magnetic field is sufficiently strong to
prevent plasma leaking through the opening.

Abstract: A magnetic fingerprint image (12) is implemented by having
the user coat his finger tip with a magnetic powder and
transferring the powder particles to the document surface.
The magnetic fingerprint image (12) is then covered by a thin,
non-removable, plastic film (14) that is optically opaque but
is magnetically transparent. The print is scannable by a
magnetic head (18) whose output signal consists of a sequence
of electrical waveforms characteristic of the ridges and
depressions that define the fingerprint. The fingerprint
image (12) may be angularly rotated about an axis perpendicular
to the plane of the print prior to fixing the fingerprint
image onto the document. Because the image is covered by
the opaque film (14), the outside observer cannot determine the
angular orientation () of the image (12) relative to the document
edge. A magnetically encoded "address" readable by the
scanning magnetic head (18) before it reads the magnetic
fingerprint itself, informs the scanning apparatus of the
fingerprint angular orientation (). By means of this
information, the magnetic head (18) is rotated through the
proper angle () so that it is correctly oriented relative to
the image (12) before scanning the image (12), or an angularly fixed
magnetic head (18) may scan the rotated image (12) to obtain
"scrambled" fingerprint data. This data is converted to
digital values, the digital values are stored, and then a
computation, taking into consideration the angular
position of the read fingerprint image (12), is performed
transforming the "scrambled" values back into to their
normal values for comparison with the data derived from
the user's actual fingerprint.
