Patent TW-424208-B (TW)
Title: Real-time compression/decompression method for scanned image
Inventor: CHEN HUANG-TSUEN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-03-22
Granted: 2001-03-01
Abstract: During the encoding of the compression method of the present invention, the format of each byte is set to have an identification code (2 bits) and a counting code (6 bits) and, by a bit plane, the read data are divided into a high bit plane and a low bit plane for separation process. When reading the output data of the A/D converter, each byte can read no more than 63 (2<6>-1) bits. The identification code of each byte represents the code properties of the bit, such as high/low bit and non-encoded bit. The counting code represents the accumulative number of consecutive bits having the same code properties. After encoding, bytes will be outputted to a random access memory for the host access. During decompression, the host will access the data stored in the random access memory and a buffer that can store at least 63 bytes is provided to register the decompressed data. Therefore, it only needs to check the identification code of a byte during decompression before knowing whether the code represents a high/low bit or a non-encoded bit. Then, according to the figure indicated by the counting code, the data can be written sequentially into the corresponding position in the buffer to complete the whole decompression procedure. After decompression, all of the image data stored in the buffer can be outputted for further processing.

Title: High efficiency gear pump for pumping highly viscous fluids
Inventor: RAMANATHAN RAVI
IPC: F04C15/00
Filed: 1999-09-30
Granted: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A gear pump exhibiting improved efficiency over a broader range of fluid viscosity and pump speed includes a compression zone defined between each of a pair of pump gears and internal walls of a gear chamber, wherein the compression zones have a non-uniform thickness along a longitudinal direction of the gears. The geometry of the compression zones provides a mechanism whereby the drag of the viscous fluid which is induced by the rotation of the pump gears carries the viscous fluid through a progressively narrower gap in the direction of rotation ending in a final smooth pinch-off at the start of the seal zone. The geometry of the compression zone maximizes the drag and pressurization of the viscous fluid being pumped into the teeth of the gears, thereby assisting in the complete filling of the teeth. The result is improved fill efficiency over a broader range of pump speeds and over a broader range of fluid viscosity.

Title: Process and device and application of the device to produce a blended-yarn or combined yarn
Inventor: LACHER LUDWIG
IPC: D02G3/04
Filed: 2000-02-03
Granted: 2002-01-21
Abstract: A process and a device and the application of the device to produce a blended yarn or combined yarn, wherein an endless filament yarn, particularly an endless elastane thread is bonded with a staple fiber yarn. It was proved, that by producing twists both threads commonly embossed, a narrow bonding can be made. The spun yarn and the filament yarn are commonly guided through an air-treatment-nozzle-device and thereby held in the scope of a short range. The binding occurs by the production of a false twist of the yarns running throughly quickly, wherein the filament yarn is continuously anchored in the spun yarn. Hitherto a twice-change of the rotating direction in form of successively an S-twist-Z-twist-S-twist or Z-twist-S-twist-Z-twist with a free distance between the juxtaposed twister has proved to be an optimal solution.

Title: Wire segment based interposer for high frequency electrical connection
Inventor: LI CHE-YU
IPC: H01R12/57
Filed: 2000-05-23
Granted: 2003-10-21
Abstract: An interposer for a land grid array includes a dielectric grid having an array of holes and a resilient, conductive button disposed in one or more of the holes. The button includes an insulating core, a conducting element wound around the insulating core, and an outer shell surrounding the conducting element. The characteristics of the conducting element and the buttons may be chosen such that the contact force and resistance, and compressibility or relaxability of the conductive buttons can be selected within wide limits. Contact areas between the shell and the conducting element urge a substantially corresponding displacement in both the conducting element and the shell when the button in under compression or relaxation. The interposer alternatively can include an insulating sheet and rather than conductive buttons contain conducting elements disposed therein having contact areas with the block. The interposer when positioned between a land grid array and an electrical circuit component can accommodate relatively large nonplanarity between respective mating surfaces of the two interconnected components while establishing and maintaining contact between each conducting element and the opposing contact pads of each component. A high local contact force is produced at each end of the conducting element against an opposing electrical contact pad of a circuit device to establish a good electrical connection with the interposer which thus electrically interconnects the land grid array and the circuit component. The new interposer design is eminently amenable to high frequency and high current application.
