Patent EP-0836229-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAIA RICHARD JOSEPH
IPC: H01L23/498
Filed: 1997-08-01
Abstract: A method for fabricating a flexible
interconnect film includes applying a resistor layer
(16,18) over one or both surfaces of a dielectric
film (10); applying a metallization layer (22) over
the resistor layer with the resistor layer including
a material facilitating adhesion of the dielectric
film and the metallization layer; applying a
capacitor dielectric layer (24a) over the
metallization layer; and applying a capacitor
electrode layer (26a) over the capacitor dielectric
layer. The capacitor electrode layer is patterned
to form a first capacitor electrode; the capacitor
dielectric layer is patterned; the metallization
layer is patterned to form a resistor (28); and the
metallization layer and the resistor layer are
patterned to form an inductor (33) and a second
capacitor
electrode. In one embodiment, the dielectric film includes a
polyimide, the resistor layer includes tantalum nitride, and
the capacitor dielectric layer includes amorphous
hydrogenated carbon or tantalum oxide. If the resistor and
metallization layers are applied over both surfaces of the
dielectric film, passive components can be fabricated on
both surfaces of the dielectric film. The dielectric film can
have vias therein with the resistor and metallization layers
extending through the vias. A circuit chip can be attached
and coupled to the passive components by metallization
patterned through vias in an additional dielectric layer.

Abstract: Remote installation of an update of software is forwarded by a
management information system (11) into a remote computer (16-21). When
a primary communication path between the management information
system (11) and the remote computer (16-21) is unavailable and an alternate
communication path is available, a connection is established between the
management information system (11) and the remote computer (16-21)
using the alternate communication path. The management information
system (11) requests from the remote computer (16-21) the current version
information about the software within the remote computer (16-21). When
the management information system (11) determines the current version of
the software within the remote computer (16-21) needs to be updated, the
management information system (11) determines whether the alternate
communication path is adequate for downloading the update of the software.
When the management information system (11) determines that the
alternate communication path is adequate for downloading the update of the
software, the update of the software is downloaded from the management
information system (11) to the remote computer (16-21).

Abstract: An enhancement to the standard JPEG image data compression technique includes a step
of recording the length of each string of bits corresponding to each block of pixels in the original
image at the time of compression. The list of lengths of each string of bits in the compressed image
data is retained as an "encoding cost map" or ECM. The ECM, which is considerably smaller than
the compressed image data, can be transmitted or retained in memory separate from the
compressed image data along with some other accompanying information and is used as a "key" for
editing or segmentation of the compressed image data. The ECM, in combination with a map of DC
components of the compressed image, can also be used for substituting background portions of the
image with blocks of pure white data, in order to compress certain types of images even further.

Abstract: An impeller 26 is directly driven by an output shaft of a
core engine 12. The airflow produced by the impeller rotates an
air turbine 28 and a fan 34 disposed integrally with the air turbine.
The impeller and the air turbine form a fluid coupling which serves

fan can be reduced to be lower than that of the output shaft while
retaining efficiency of the core engine. The outer diameter of
the fan can be increased, raising a bypass ratio.

barrel and the needle holder. A pair of longitudinal ribs strengthen the proximal end
portion of the barrel. A locking element for releasably locking the needle holder lateral
arm at a distal end of the spiral guide slot is slidably mounted on a track formed on one
of the ribs. An OTN catheter may also be employed in combination with the syringe
assembly.

Abstract: Pressure-time profile (over the life of the bubble), p(tlife) and bubble radius R(tlife) of a single bubble (B1) are used to determine the surface tension ss(tlife) as a function of the bubble life (tlife). Independent claims are included. Methods determine and adjust surface tension on-line, in accordance with the principles described. Suitable apparatus for this purpose is claimed, using the capillary described. This controls physical conditions of the gas and liquid. Preferred features: The bubble pressure-time profile is obtained from the relationship delta p(tlife) = p(tlife) - pmin , where delta p(tlife) is the course over time of the differential pressure and pmin is the minimal pressure. The course of bubble radius R(tlife) is evaluated indirectly from the course of bubble (B1) height hB(tlife) at the capillary (K) radius (Rcap). It may be obtained in a similar, indirect manner, from the bubble volume V(tlife) and the capillary radius. In a further alternative, bubble radius history is obtained indirectly from the course of gas volumetric flow rate dV(tlife)/dt. The radius of the capillary is determined indirectly by calibration with a fluid of known surface tension, especially water, at fixed bubble frequency or fixed bubble life. A frequency of e.g. f = 1Hz is selected. The surface tension ss(tlife) is determined from the relationship ss(tlife) = Dp(tlife) . R(tlife)/2.

Abstract: An imaging device comprises a semiconductor substrate including
an array of pixel cells. Each pixel cell comprising an individually
addressable pixel circuit for accumulating charge resulting from
radiation incident on a pixel detector. The pixel circuit and the
pixel detector can either be implemented on a single substrate, or on
two substrates bonded together. The charge storage device can be a
transistor, for example one of a pair of FETs connected as a cascode
amplification stage. An imaging plane can be made up of one imaging
device or a plurality of imaging devices tiled to form a mosaic. The
imaging devices may be configured as a slot for certain applications,
the slit or slot being scanned over the imaging plane. Control
electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual
pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits.
Imaging optimisation can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum
charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or
colour values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating
grey scale or colour values to an individual pixel according to a
sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be
detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a
threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for
directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less
than said threshold value.

Abstract: The circuit has a differential amplifier stage with two amplifying elements whose main current paths are coupled together and to a first reference potential. The elements are also connected to output connections and a second reference potential. A first control signal is fed to the control connections, whereby an output signal can be tapped from the output connections. A second differential amplifier stage has two other amplifying elements whose main current paths are coupled together and to the first reference potential. A further control signal is fed to their control connections. The output impedance is preferably identical voltage dividers with a tapping for each further differential stage. The main current paths of the further stages are fed to pairwise symmetrical tappings of both voltage dividers with a defined division. The instantaneous control signal values have a preselected ratio. The tapping divisions and current ratios are selected to eliminate output signal components dependent on at least one higher power.
