PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process of forming a microphone using a support member.SOLUTION: A method of forming a microphone includes forming a backplate, and a flexible diaphragm on at least a portion of a wet etch sacrificial layer. The method also includes adding a wet etch resist material, where the wet etch resist material is positioned between the diaphragm and the backplate to support the diaphragm. Some of the wet etch resist material is not positioned between the diaphragm and backplate. The method further includes removing the sacrificial material before removing any of the wet etch resist material added during the above-mentioned addition. Then, the wet etch resist material is removed substantially entirely after at least part of the sacrificial material is removed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for automated determination of sampling phase of an analog video signal.SOLUTION: The method and the apparatus provide data extraction from an analog signal. The method includes deriving a data-location signal having amplitude transitions that identify a phase of amplitude transitions of the analog signal, and, in response to the data-location signal, selecting a sampling clock signal having a phase different from the phase of the amplitude transitions of the analog signal. The apparatus includes a signal generator that derives from the analog signal a data-location signal, and a selector that selects a sampling clock signal having a phase different from the phase of the amplitude transitions of the analog signal.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a desired printed wiring board at a low cost in a short time by simplifying design work of the printed wiring board. SOLUTION: Multiple kinds of ready-made printed wiring board modules are registered and stored in a database 4 as a library. The printed wiring board modules stored and registered in the database 4 are presented to a client 1. The client 1 selects one or more of the multiple kinds of presented printed wiring board modules, and designs and constitutes one printed wiring board by combining the plurality of selected printed wiring board modules. Design data of the designed and constituted printed wiring board is transmitted from the client 1 to a company 2. A mask film for use in manufacturing the printed wiring board is plotted on the basis of the transmitted design data. The printed wiring board is manufactured in a printed wiring board factory 3 on the basis of the plotted mask film. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor-driven mechanical system with a detection system for measuring properties of a back channel and deriving the oscillatory characteristics of the mechanical system. SOLUTION: Uses of the detection system may include calculating a resonant frequency of the mechanical system and a threshold drive D TH required to move the mechanical system from the starting mechanical stop position. System manufacturers often do not know the resonant frequency and D TH of their mechanical systems precisely. Therefore, calculating the specific mechanical system's resonant frequency and D TH without depending on the manufacturer's expected values improves precision in the mechanical system use. Back channel calculations may be used to replace and improve the corresponding pre-programmed values. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Galois field square root calculation method and a Galois field square root engine. SOLUTION: The method includes a compound Galois field engine for performing a succession of Galois field linear transforms on a succession of polynomial inputs to obtain an ultimate output where each input except the first is the output of the previous Galois field linear transform. Galois field square root is achieved by inputting a Galois field element to a Galois field square root generator to obtain an output which is squared in the Galois field square root generator to predict the modulo remainder of the square of the polynomial product of an irreducible polynomial m-1 times where m is the degree of the Galois field to obtain the square root of the Galois field to obtain the square root of the Galois field element in (m-1) cycles.
