Abstract: A liquid-crystal-display device which displays an image on display matrix by supplying video signals to pixel cells of the display matrix includes a data driver supplying the video signals to the display matrix and including N digital drivers, N×k common-signal lines, and N×k×n switch blocks, wherein every k lines of the N×k common-signal lines are connected to a corresponding one of the N digital drivers, and every n blocks of the N×k×n switch blocks are connected to a corresponding one of the N×k common-signal lines, each of the common-signal lines being comprised of m lines and each of the switch blocks includes m selection switches, which couples the common-signal lines to the pixel cells of the display matrix.

Abstract: When a thin-film transistor (TFT) is formed on a glass substrate, electric charges caused in the TFT can be removed so as to avoid electrostatic damage in the TFT. A short-circuiting pattern that short-circuits the source region and the drain region of the TFT is added to a polysilicon pattern that constitutes the TFT. This short-circuiting pattern is removed at the same time as or after the wiring formation in the source region and the drain region.

Abstract: A liquid-crystal display device is provided. The liquid-crystal display device comprises a first substrate having a pixel electrode, a signal line, a scanning line, and a driver driving one of the signal line and the scanning line, a second substrate opposing the first substrate and having a common electrode, a liquid-crystal layer formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and a first shield placed opposite the driver so as to shield an electromagnetic wave radiated from the driver.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel methods for using macrolide anti-infective agents. The macrolide anti-infective agents demonstrate antibacterial activity against multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria and, in particular, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods for inhibiting the activity of multi-drug resistant bacterial organisms and methods for treating a bacterial infection caused by such organisms are described herein.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus which has a very-high-frequency parallel antenna producing inductively-coupled plasma for a large substrate. This plasma processing apparatus includes a very high frequency power source in order to generate the high dense plasma, and parallel-connected antenna units that receive the very high frequency power from the very high frequency source. The very high frequency power has a frequency of 20 MHz to 300 MHz. According to present invention, while the plasma density can be raised, the electron temperature can be lowered. Thus, when the dry etch process is conducted using CFx, the CFx/F ratio can be adjusted to have the low density of fluorine radical. And also, it is possible to have the high radical density of CF2, CF3 and the like. As a result, the proper radical ratio, which is relative to increase selection ratio, enhances the dry etch process excellently.

Abstract: A high efficiency compact gas-particulate separator is provided comprising: a bag filter disposed above and a cyclone disposed below,the bag filter including: a casing, a compressed air header into the casing; a diaphragm valve on the header; a blow tube connected to the header; a venturi for accelerating an ejected jet of compressed air from the blow tube and for inducing an inflow of secondary air; and a filter bag for collecting dusts mounted in the casing; the casing having a clean air outlet, andthe cyclone including: a dust-laden gas inlet; an outer cylinder for generating a centrifugal force, the cylinder being connected to the casing; an inner tube for letting a dust-laden gas pass from below upward into the casing; and a dust hopper for storing dust particles captured by centrifugal forces and dislodged dust cakes removed from the filter bag by cleaning.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for solvent extraction where the heavy and light phases are directed counter-currently into vertical mixing zones created by high-strength gas jets injecting gas up through the liquids to create an emulsion plume between the two liquids. The gas jets are at certain intervals along the countercurrent flow paths of the liquids with settling zones on either side of each the mixing zone. The phases disengage in the settling zones, flowing from the mixing zone in opposite countercurrent directions. The system has minimal backmixing, no moving parts, and good contact between phases.
