Solid-state imaging device

A CCD image sensor which is a solid-state imaging device has four kinds of pixels of first pixel to fourth pixel arranged in a predetermined pattern. The each pixel has each PD and each microlens. The first pixel and the fourth pixel are dedicated imaging pixels. The fourth pixel is placed adjacent to the second pixel and the third pixel which are pixels for phase difference detection, and its microlens is formed smaller than the microlens of the first pixel. Accordingly, since quantity of the light to be incident on the PD from the microlens is lowered corresponding to the incident light from the gap between the microlenses, light with approximately uniform quantity is incident on the each PD.

Reverse acting rupture disc with laser-defined electropolished line of weakness and method of forming the line of weakness

A reverse acting rupture disc is provided having a laser defined electropolished line-of-weakness recess, and an improved method of forming an electropolished line-of-weakness recess in a reverse acting rupture disc that assures full opening of the disc upon reversal. A rupture disc blank is pre-bulged, final bulged, and then provided with a layer of resist material. A laser is used to remove at least a portion of the layer of resist material corresponding to a desired line-of-weakness recess in the concave face of the bulged rupture disc. The disc is then subjected to an electropolishing operation to remove metal from the lased area of the rupture disc, thereby forming a lustrous polished line-of-weakness recess in the disc of desired configuration and of a predetermined depth that is related to material thickness. The electropolished line of weakness is defined by spaced opposed channel portions separated by a central raised crown portion wherein the channel portions are of greater depth than the crown portion. The burst / reversal pressure of the disc having an electropolished line-of-weakness recess may be selectively controlled by varying the pre-bulging pressure on the disc.

Semiconductor device including a capacitor having improved structural stability and enhanced capacitance, and method of manufacturing the semiconductor device

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a capacitor having improved structural stability and enhanced capacitance, a contact region is formed on a surface portion of a semiconductor substrate. After a mold layer is formed on the substrate, a stabilizing member is formed to encompass a storage electrode. A contact hole is formed through the mold layer to expose a sidewall of the stabilizing member and the contact region. The storage electrode is formed on the exposed contact region and on the exposed sidewall of the stabilizing member. A dielectric layer and a plate electrode are successively formed on the storage electrode. The capacitor including the storage electrode and the stabilizing member will have improved structural stability that resists mechanical collapse even when the capacitor has an extremely high aspect ratio.

Substrate processing apparatus

A substrate processing apparatus includes a transport robot (TR1) formed with a telescopic vertical movement mechanism of a so-called telescopially nestable multi-tier construction. A drive mechanism (D1) is initially driven to move a support member (48) upwardly to simultaneously elevate a vertical movement member (42d). As the vertical movement member (42d) rises, a pulley (47c) simultaneously moves upwardly. As the pulley (47c) moves upwardly, a vertical movement member (42c) is lifted upwardly by a belt (L1). Similar actions elevate a pair of transport arms (31a, 31b) provided on the top of a vertical movement member (42a). The increase in the number of tiers of the nestable multi-tier structure precludes the increase in height of the transport robot (TR1) in its retracted position. The substrate processing apparatus, if having an increased height, is capable of transporting a substrate to and from processing portions and eliminates the need to reassemble and adjust the transport robot (TR1) for transportation of the apparatus.

Organic light-emitting panel and manufacturing method thereof, and organic display device

A non-light-emitting cell 100c is provided between pixels 100a and 100b. In formation of the pixel 100a, ink for forming an organic light-emitting layer is dripped into sub-pixels 100a1, 100a2, 100a3 in this order. This also applies to the pixel 100b. However, such ink is not dripped into the non-light-emitting cell 100c since the organic light-emitting layer is not formed in the non-light-emitting cell 100c. Regarding banks 105c and 105d defining the sub-pixel 100a3 of the pixel 100a, an inclination angle θd3 of a wall 105d3 of the bank 105d is larger than an inclination angle θc3 of a wall 105c3 of the bank 105c. Meanwhile, regarding banks 105e and 105f defining the sub-pixel 100b1, an inclination angle θe1 of a wall 105e1 of the bank 105e is equivalent to an inclination angle θe1 of a wall 105f1 of the bank 105f.

Tethered hovering platform

The design and refinement of a tethered hovering platform into a feasible working system is presented. To determine a starting point for the design, a detailed historical search was conducted to find the history and the current state of such technology. Real world current needs are analyzed to produce a mission specification and to drive the preliminary vehicle design. Analysis of environmental conditions and decisions about an initial payload package are made in conjunction with motor and propeller sizing. Initial concept testing to discover feasibility and operational issues was performed; from this, instability issues were discovered. Analyzing these instability issues using known rotorcraft and momentum effects, in conjunction with flight testing, yields possible solutions to the problem. The use of constrained layer dampers as a means of passive stabilization is addressed and suggested as the preferred solution. Testing of passive constrained layer damping verifies the stability of the solution. The system components and manufacturing cost is presented in comparison to current systems using active stabilization
