Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for tilt adjusting of an optical disc player which operates in cooperation with a cam gear consisting of a gear mechanism of a disc loading device installed on a main chassis and can perform a tilting motion without needing a tilt motor, wherein the apparatus comprises a guide member cooperating with the cam gear of the disc loading device and moving linearly in accordance with the rotation of the cam gear and an operation member connected to the guide member and adjusting the inclination of a pickup feeding plate while moving in accordance with the linear movement of the guide member, the cam gear having a spiral cam groove formed at the upper and bottom sides thereof, the guide member having at its upper side a projection slidably fitted to the lower cam groove formed at the bottom side of the cam gear, and opening, a rack portion being formed at one side of the opening, an operation gear consisting of upper and lower gear portions being engaged with the rack po

Abstract: A pickup turnove apparatus of a disk player of a new turn-type in which a U-shape shuttle device acting as a pickup turnover means is provided at the rear of a pickup feeding plate of the disk player and turned over from a lower position to an upper position or vice versa with a pickup mounted thereon, thereby to increase the reliability of a turnover operation, to restrict noise occurrence during the turnover operation, and to reduce time required for the turnover operation.

Abstract: A method for depositing a passivation layer on a semiconductor structure having a high resistance value polysilicon layer formed thereon while maintaining the high resistance value thereof and comprises sequentially depositing a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, on a high resistance value polysilicon layer of a partially completed semiconductor structure to form a passivation layer thereover. The passivation layer including the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer is annealed with oxygen plasma in a chamber. The annealed passivation layer is then heated in the presence of a conditioning gas in the chamber to thereby maintaining the resistance of the high resistance value polysilicon layer.

Abstract: Carbon fluoride and metal are co-deposited from an electroless plating bath onto a suitable solid, forming a thin surface layer having low surface energy and good lubricity. Carbon fluoride particles having an average size from 0.2 to 8 .mu.m are dispersed in an aqueous solution using 0.5 to 2 volume percent of surfactants comprising a nonionic surfactant having an HLB number of 10 to 20, optionally including up to a maximum 20% of a cationic surfactant based on the amount of nonionic surfactant used. Sufficient presuspended carbon fluoride particles are combined with an electroless metal plating bath to provide 1-50 grams of carbon fluoride per liter of the bath.

Abstract: A novel high energy density aqueous cell exhibiting superior electrochemical properties is described. The use of the novel cathode composition, (C.sub.y F.sub.x Cl.sub.z).sub.n, permits the construction of a novel high energy density aqueous cell comprised of an anode, an alkaline electrolyte and a cathode, said cathode comprised of carbon fluoride chloride of the type (C.sub.y F.sub.x Cl.sub.z).sub.n : wherein y is 1 or 2; x is greater than 0 up to about 1.2; z is greater than 0 up to 0.1; and n denotes an infinitely large two dimensional array of C.sub.y F.sub.x Cl.sub.z units.The carbon fluoride chloride is composed of carbon, fluorine and chlorine, wherein the carbon can be chosen from the group consisting of graphite, coke, needle coke, charcoal, activated carbon, carbon blacks and the like. The carbon fluoride chloride described herein can be made in several ways, e.g. carbon can be reacted with chlorine monofluoride, ClF, to produce (C.sub.y F.sub.x Cl.sub.z).sub.n or with mixtures of chlorine, Cl.sub.

Abstract: A cell and process is provided for the production of fluorine comprising electrolyzing a liquid mixture of fluorides of alkali metal, ammonium and hydrogen fluoride. The cell anode comprises a stock of anode plates with internal passages or it may comprise a carbon shape provided with grooves and passages and fitted to a central conductor which conducts current from the exterior of the cell to the carbon anode plates within the cell. The anode having a substantially expanded working surface has the capability of removing fluorine internally. A louvered cathode permits most of the hydrogen to be vented away from the zone between the electrodes through which current passes thus reducing the ohmic voltage loss. The cathode, rather than being louvered, can be expanded metal or punched sheet or gauze. The anode, cathode and barrier may be cylindrical in form although other shapes, for instance rectangular or square in cross section or even of hexagonal section, may be used if desired.

Abstract: A procedure is described for recovering gold from rinse water. The recovery procedure involves electrochemical removal of the gold from the rinse water and is particularly advantageous for removing gold in low concentrations from rinse water.
