Title: Allocating channels between a central terminal and a subscriber terminal of a wireless telecommunication system
Inventor: THOMPSON JONATHAN ANDREW
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1997-06-11
Abstract: In a wireless communication system a central terminal 10 has a connection to a PSTN and wireless links to subscriber terminals at fixed locations within its coverage area. An access concentrator 100 located at the central terminal or separate from it provides an interface to the PSTN. In the central terminal a number of radio slaves 140 are each associated with a particular frequency channel. Each frequency channel is sub-divided into radio slots. A radio slot may be a CDMA orthogonal channel or time divided (TDM) portion thereof. For an incoming call from the PSTN, a radio manager 130, in response to a channel allocation request from call manager 120, asks each radio slave in turn for one or more radio slots (according to bandwidth required) to carry the call. A radio slave selects the slot(s) if available on its frequency channel and informs the radio manager. The radio slave also informs the radio port manager 150 associated with each slot. The subscriber terminal is then invited to acquire the wireless link on the available slot(s) using a call control channel. For an outgoing call a subscriber terminal selects a radio slot from a list of free slots broadcast on the call control channel.

Title: Method of fabricating a flash memory device
Inventor: CHO MIN KUCK
IPC: H01L27/115
Filed: 1997-06-19
Abstract: A method of making a flash memory device having a silicon substrate 11 defining a memory cell region A, a high voltage transistor region B and a low voltage transistor region C separated by field oxide 12, comprises forming an oxide film (13) over all the regions then removing the oxide film in the region A and replacing it with a tunnel oxide film 14, forming a polysilicon layer 15 over all the regions then removing part of the layer so that it remains only in the regions A and B, forming a dielectric film 16 having a ONO structure over all the regions, then removing the dielectric film in the region C and performing a cleaning process, forming a gate oxide film (17) in the region C, forming another polysilicon layer 18 over all the regions then removing this layer and the underlying dielectric film in the region B, forming yet another polysilicon layer 21 and a silicide layer 19 over all the regions, and finally forming gate electrodes 20A, 20B, 20C by a patterning process in the regions A, B and C. The third polysilicon layer 21 may be omitted if the layers 15 and 18 are thick. Such a process reduces damage to the dielectric film 16 in the region A during the cleaning process.
Patent GB-2314536-A (GB)
Title: Emergency lighting
Inventor: BODLE PETER WINSTANLEY
IPC: G09F13/20
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: An emergency lighting system for an aircraft has photoluminescent strips (16) mounted on the floor rather than a string of electrical lights. This is a better fail-safe since there is no possibility of a failure in power supply. A channel extrusion is secured to the floor of the aircraft and a photoluminescent strip (22) is held between the channel and a transparent cover member (20). The photoluminescsent strip has two thin layers of photoluminescent material rather on a base layer, rather than being a calendered product. This increases the light output.
