Abstract: A plastic ferrule (10) for an optical connector
comprises a cylindrical portion (14) having an insertion
hole for fixing an optical fiber and directly
related to connection, a holding portion (12) for
allowing the cylindrical portion to be stably held
in an optical connector, and a guiding portion (11) for
allowing an optical fiber to be guided into the
ferrule. The ferrule has a hollow, cylindrical hole(18)
centered around the insertion hole inside the
cylindrical portion. Thus, the ferrule has
excellent dimensional accuracy of the outer
diameter, and achieves connection of single mode
fibers excellent in connection reliability and

Inventor: NGUYEN TUE
IPC: H01L21/311
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: A system and method are provided for selectively etching metal,
preferably copper surfaces free of oxides in preparation for the deposition of
an interconnecting metallic material. Metal oxides are removed with β-diketones,
preferably Hhfac. The Hhfac is delivered into the system in vapor
form, and reacts almost exclusively with copper oxides. The by-products are
also volatile for removal from the system under reduced pressure. The
procedure is easily adaptable to most IC process systems, it can be conducted
in an oxygen-free environment, without the removal of the IC from the
process chamber. The  in situ  cleaning permits a minimum amount of copper
oxide to reform before the deposition of the overlying metal, permitting
formation of a highly conductive electrical interconnection.

IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: Das Verfahren dient der Erhöhung der Zuverlässigkeit eines Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalters. 
     Bei diesem Verfahren wird die Erregerspule eines Magnetauslösers des Schalters
derart mit Prüfstrom beaufschlagt, dass ein Anker des Magnetauslösers abhebt
und nachfolgend wieder angezogen wird. Das Abheben des Ankers wird durch
ein Abhebesignal erfasst. Tritt bedingt durch einen Fehler das Abhebesignal nicht
auf, so wird dies gemeldet. 
     Der Prüfstrom wird von einem einzigen mindestens zwei Abschnitte
aufweisenden Prüfsignal gebildet. Im ersten Abschnitt weist der Prüfstrom die
Form einer Wechselstrom-Halbwelle auf mit einer mehrfach höheren
Stromamplitude als ein das Abheben des Ankers beim Auftreten eines
Fehlerstroms bewirkender Ansprechstrom. Zugleich erzeugt der Prüfstrom im
ersten Abschnitt einen Magnetfluss, welcher dem im Anker geführten Magnetfluss
( 32 ) des Permanentmagneten entgegengesetzt gerichtet ist. In dem an den
ersten Abschnitt anschliessenden zweiten Abschnitt weist der Prüfstrom
umgekehrte Polarität wie im ersten Abschnitt auf.

the associated actuating mechanisms, on a carriage (19) which, after receiving
the parisons, moves into a blowing station (Z1) for the formation of the bottles
which then remain suspended from the nozzles of this station. By means of a set
of three self-centring closing and opening grippers (P1, P2, P3), the groups of
bottles are then transferred from the said blowing station to a sprue-removal and
mouth-calibrating station (Z2), to a quality control station (Z3) and then to a filling
station (Z4). By means of a fourth self-centring gripper (P4) with an independent

Abstract: A fail-safe fluid transfer control circuit includes at least one switch that must be
closed to provide power to a pump or valve that enables fluid transfer and at least one
controller (20,22) that monitors the switched state (i.e. open or closed) of each of the switches.
The controller also responds to a number of the inputs with regard to enabling or
disabling fluid flow, including signals from at least one overfill probe that outputs a signal
indicative of when the fluid level in a container being filled has reached a particular
level. The controller automatically detects which of a number of known probe types is
connected to it, including "five-wire" probes, "two-wire" probes and thermistor probes.
The controller first tests for signals indicative of a first probe type and, if not detected,
the controller looks for signals indicative of a second probe type. If the second probe
type signals are not detected, the controller may configure itself for use with the third.

Abstract: Manufacture of chocolate hollowware by forming a shell in a shaped foil that will later become the packing A foil, preferably 0,2 - 0,3 mm thick polypropylene, is warmed and deep drawn into dies for one set of chocolate halves (possibly 4 x 13). Another set of dies is similarly prepared for the matching halves. The convex faces are then either printed or labels are attached to them. The foils are placed in solid support blocks and filled with an accurately determined amount of chocolate so that, as a set of cooled punches is lowered into the chocolate, a shell of uniform thickness is formed without thinning or excessive overflow. The filled foils are now cooled and the process can be repeated if a second, perhaps differently colored, layer is required. If required, items can then be placed inside the shell. The two halves, in their support blocks, are brought together to connect the two foils. The foils are welded together where flat surfaces overlap and individual articles are separated by a cutting die. The foil is now the packing for the article.

IPC: H01L21/311
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A scaleable device concept and particularly a method for fabrication thereof is
disclosed, which allows for a minimal well-controlled gate overlap by using low
resistivity source/drain extension regions with shallow junctions. By using such
shallow junctions, which are obtained using L-shaped spacers, the gate overlap is no
longer dependent on the junction depth of the source/drain contact regions.
Particularly the L-shaped spacers are used to locally reduce the penetration depth of
the source/drain implantation in the substrate. This concept is particularly
interesting for FET's having a channel length below 0.25 µm because this approach
broadens the process window of the silicidation process of the source/drain contact
regions. Moreover, the extension regions have to be subjected only to a limited
thermal budget.

Abstract: A hardware-efficient transceiver. The transceiver includes a digital circuit for converting baseband signals to intermediate frequency signals. A signal source provides a first periodic signal of a first frequency. A direct digital synthesizer provides a second periodic signal of a second frequency from the first periodic reference signal. An upconverter circuit digitally upconverts the baseband signals to digital intermediate frequency signals using the second periodic signal A digital-to-analog converter converts the digital intermediate frequency signals to analog intermediate frequency signals using the first periodic signal. In the transceiver implementation, the digital circuit upconverts a first transmit signal from a first frequency to a second frequency in response to the second periodic signal and provides a digital transmit signal in response thereto. A second circuit is provided for converting the digital transmit signal to an analog transmit signal. Transmit and receive circuitry are provided for transmitting the analog transmit signal and receiving an analog receive signal, respectively. In a specific embodiment, the analog receive signal is digitally downconverted to provide a digital receive signal in response to a second periodic signal. A significant feature of the invention resides in the provision of the first and second periodic signals with a single local oscillator. A direct digital synthesizer is included for generating one of the reference signals from the output of the local oscillator. The transmit circuit includes a delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter having the first periodic signal as an input The delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter has a low-bit digital-to-analog converter and a delta-sigma modulator. In the illustrative embodiment, the low-bit digital-to-analog converter is a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter and the delta-sigma modulator is a sixth order delta-sigma modulator. The delta-sigma modulator includes amplifiers with approximately the following gains: 3/2, -3/4, 1/8.
