英譯專利常見用語疑問 - 專利

※ 引述《sherrypure (從前從前有一隻小喵咪)》之銘言：
: 最近對翻譯的英文專利內容裡的文法越來越疑惑了...
: 主要有下面幾個針對常用語的問題：
: 1.a plurality of signals(signals為舉例)
: 後面的動詞到底是要根據a plurality of而使用單數?
: 還是根據signals使用複數呢?(我目前大多用複數...)
應該是複數。
: 2.一固定裝置，設於該基座及該墊體之間，適於可拆式地結合該基座及該墊體
: (1)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad,
: the fastening device detachably being adapted to fasten the
: base and the pad together;
: (2)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad,
: being adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together;
: (3)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad,
: adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together;
: (4)a fastening device, disposed between the base and the pad
: and adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together;
: (5)a fastening device being disposed between the base and the pad
: and adapted to temporarily fasten the base and the pad together;
怕文法錯誤為何不用wherein?
a fastening device, wherein the fastening device is disposed between
the base and the pad, and adapted to detachably fasten the base and
the pad together;

看上面好像都可以。

: 因為在claim裡面的element不會出現動詞 動詞常以V-ing或V-ed出現
: 以上面的翻譯來說，先不論英文譯詞是否精準或正確，上面的幾種寫法
: 哪個才是正確的呢?為什麼?各自有什麼不一樣的解釋?
: (我自己在這邊還有一個疑惑是，element之後加V-ing或V-ed時，
: 兩者之間要不要逗點?)
都有看過。

: 3.element A, ....; element A, ....;
: element B, ....; element B, ....,
: wherein ..... wherein ....
: 左邊跟右邊，哪種寫法才對? 簡言之，wherein前是用分號還是逗號?
都可以，沒有準則

: 4.(1)element A, disposed between element B and element C, the element A
: generating a signal, and the element B transmitting a ....;
: (2)element A, disposed between element B and element C, the element A
: generating a signal, the element B transmitting a ....;
: 上面兩個句子差別在於最後一個子句前面是否有and，關於這兩種寫法，我自
: 己是覺得前者比較對。
分詞構句對於連接詞沒有這樣嚴格限制，兩者都可以。
如果是用wherein the element A..., and the element B
就應該要用and。

: 5.(1)a plurality of LEDs for emitting ....;
: (2)a plurality of LEDs emitting ...;
: (3)a plurality of LEDs, emitting ...;
: 上面這幾種寫法，哪一種才正確呢?
似乎都可以，三種都有看過，最常見的是1

: 6.一天線，用以接收一電視訊號；
: 一解碼器，用以解碼所接收之該電視訊號；
: 一微控制單元，用以處理已解碼之該電視訊號；
: an antenna for receiving a television signal;
: a decoder for decoding the received television signal;
: an MCU for processing the decoded television signal;
: 上面這種譯法造成同一個訊號(television signal)卻以不同名稱表示，可能
: 會有定義不明確或其他問題，但有更好的譯法嗎?譬如把the received
: television signal改為the television signal which has been received?
: 或是異於原中文敘述改寫為the television signal received by the antenna?
: 或是省略received不寫?
: 感謝各位看完 也希望各位能提供一點意見 非常感謝!!
我大概會改寫如下：
an antenna, for receiving a TV signal;
a decoder, for decording the TV signal received by the antenna
to generate a decoded signal;
an MCU, for processing the decoded signal;

由於本人的英文也沒有特別好。

如有錯誤請大家鞭小力一點
