  • Patent number: 6956252
    Abstract: In preferred embodiments, a compact a hybrid integrated circuit device 1 can be provided. A conductive pattern 12 is formed on the top surface of a circuit substrate 10, on the top surface of which an insulating layer 11 has been provided. Conductive pattern 12 is formed over the entirety of the top surface of the circuit substrate. Specifically, conductive pattern 12 is also formed at parts within 2 mm from the peripheral ends of circuit substrate 10. Also, a heat sink 13A or other circuit element 13 with some height can be positioned near a peripheral end part of circuit substrate 10. By arranging hybrid integrated circuit device 1, the degree of integration of hybrid integrated circuit is improved. Thus, in a case where the same circuit as a prior-art example is formed, the size of the entire hybrid integrated circuit device can be made small.

  • Publication number: 20050067186
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a hybrid integrated circuit device, in which multiple circuit boards are manufactured from one large metal board by dicing. The hybrid integrated circuit device of the present invention includes a circuit board with a surface provided with an insulating layer, and conductive patterns provided on the insulating layer. Circuit elements are electrically connected to the conductive patterns. Further, each side surface of the circuit board includes a first inclined portion extending obliquely downward from a peripheral portion of the surface of the circuit board, and a second inclined portion extending obliquely upward from a back surface of the circuit board and formed to be larger than the first inclined portion.

  • Publication number: 20040019686
    Abstract: A switching node (MGS) 1 connected to a relay network 5 has a table 37 prestoring bandwidth control parameter values in correspondence with the size of data transferred via the relay network. When a request for accessing a remote storage apparatus is received, the switching node obtains the bandwidth control parameter values adapted to the transfer data size indicated by the access request are obtained from the table 37, and automatically sets a path having an optimum bandwidth on the relay network by using the parameter values. The path is automatically released when the data transfer is finished.

  • Publication number: 20040010617
    Abstract: A request routing system for offering high-quality, low-priced data delivery services to a large number of users is disclosed. Request router RR1 for redirecting data requests to delivery servers manages the data storage in each delivery server, the MPU load on each delivery server, the delay time involved between delivery servers and terminals, and the bandwidths of data delivery paths between delivery servers and terminals. If a bandwidth required for data delivery cannot be acquired, request router RR1 can perform a calculation to check whether an alternative path can be set between a delivery server and terminal. If the result of the calculation indicates that an alternative path can be set, request router RR1 can explicitly set such a path.
