Abstract: An RF circuit may be formed over a triple well (42, 44, 46) that creates two reverse
biased junctions (66b, 66c). By adjusting the bias across the junctions (66b, 66c), the
capacitance (67) across the junctions can be reduced, reducing the capacitive coupling from
the RF circuits to the substrate (42), improving the self-resonance frequency of inductors (62)
and reducing the coupling of unwanted signals and noise from the underlying substrate (42)
to the active circuits and passive components such as the capacitors and inductors. As a
result, radio frequency devices (10), such as radios, cellular telephones and transceivers such
as Bluetooth transceivers, logic devices and Flash and SRAM memory devices may all be
formed in the same integrated circuit die using CMOS fabrication processes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cell search method
that can reduce the power consumption of a mobile station.
At a first step, averaging is executed over an averaging
time T1, and slot boundaries are then detected (step S301).
Next, as in conventional examples, a second and a third
step are serially executed (steps S303 and S305), and the
averaging at the first step continues to be executed
concurrently with the operation of the second and third
steps (step S309). At step S309, correlation values for
slots over an averaging time T1' are averaged, and the
averaging is further executed using an already calculated
first-step average correlation value, thereby calculating
an average correlation value.

Abstract: Des modifications observables dans les caractéristiques électriques et optiques de molécules individuelles adsorbées sur un conducteur ou un semiconducteur dues à une excitation électronique de ces molécules (ou à l'arrêt d'une excitation) peuvent être utilisées comme signaux, lesquels peuvent à leur tour être utilisés pour porter des informations et ces modifications observables ou signaux porteurs d'informations peuvent être commutés, amplifiés et modulés par des variations d'entrées optiques et électriques dans ces molécules. La conception structurelle moléculaire modifie le comportement fonctionnel de ces dispositifs moléculaires/quantiques. Dans un exemple, une phtalocyanine métallisée monomère se comporte comme un commutateur quantique rapide ( < 10-12secondes) complètement inversible à efficience énergétique ( 3OkT/bit d'information), avec des entrée multiples. Cependant, si les phtalocyanines monomères sont organisés en combinaisons structurelles telles que des phtalocyanines à empilement de noyaux de type câble à une dimension ou telles que de phtalocyanines à fusion de noyaux de type feuille à deux dimensions, leurs propriétés électro-optiques sont considérablement modifiées. Par conséquent, leur fonctionnalité agit avec des propriétés qui peuvent remplacer une multiplicité de dispositifs semiconducteurs classiques CMOS et d'autres dispositifs similaires.

Abstract: A high strength reinforcing bar splice uses a contractible jaw assembly
bridging the bar ends to be joined. The jaw assembly includes interior teeth
designed to bite into the projecting ribs or deformations on the outside of the bar
ends which form the overall diameter of the bar but not the core or nominal diameter
of the bar. The jaw assembly is constricted from both axial ends by driving tapered
locking collars on each end of the jaw assembly with a tool while concurrently
causing the jaw assembly to constrict and bite into the bar ends. When the tool is
removed, the collars remain in place locking the jaw assembly closed. The splice
provides not only high tensile and compressive strengths but also has good fatigue
and dynamic strength to qualify as a Type 2 coupler.

Abstract: An apparatus for withdrawing filtered permeate from a substrate is described. The
apparatus has a header with a plurality of hollow fibre membranes extending from a
first face of the header. Ends of the membranes are open to a receptacle for collecting
permeate in fluid communication with a second face of the header. A portion of the
substrate drawn into the lumens of the fibres as permeate may flow into the
receptacle and be extracted through a permeate outlet of the receptacle. A pipe with
holes for discharging bubbles near the first face of the header extends from the first
face of the header from a location within the plurality of membranes. Holes may be
located at various locations around the circumference of the pipe, at various locations
along the length of the pipe or in arms extending outwards from the pipe. A system
for withdrawing filtered permeate from a substrate held in a container at ambient
pressure uses an apparatus as described above. The apparatus is immersed in the
substrate such that the first face of the header is generally horizontal and the
membranes extend generally vertically upwards from the first face of the header. A
source of suction is applied to the permeate outlet and operated to withdraw permeate
from the lumens of the membranes. An aeration system supplies pressurised gas to
the pipe.

231's transfer path 232 is presumed, and on the basis of this
presumption, with each of cameras 203 to 205 installed along
the pathway, the time periods of the images that are to be
associated with an event are each delayed and defined. By this
means, it is possible to record the suspicious behavior that
surveillance object demonstrates at the time of alarm
occurrence and the suspicious behavior that surveillance
object 231 demonstrates on his transfer path to surveillance
area 221 as an event image. Furthermore, it is possible to
narrow down the time periods of images in which surveillance
object 231 may be caught.
