Patent EP-0654802-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IKEDA TAKESHI
IPC: H01F17/00
Filed: 1994-11-16
Abstract: A variable inductance element comprising an inductor conductor 10 having a predetermined shape formed on an insulation layer 40 on the surface of a semiconductor substrate 42, switches 16 and 24 for shorting portions of the inductor conductor 10, and input/output terminals 12 and 14 provided at the respective ends of the inductor conductor 10. When switches 16 and/or 24 is in the on state, the function as an inductor having a smaller inductance than the overall inductor conductor 10 is obtained. The inductance of this variable inductance element can be changed by external control, while manufacturing is easy and formation in a unitized manner with an integrated circuit or other semiconductor device is enabled.

Inventor: GATES STEPHEN MCCONNELL
IPC: C30B25/18
Filed: 1994-11-29
Abstract: A semiconductor processing method is provided for growing a polycrystalline film by preferably chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from a suitable precursor gas or gases on a substrate which has been coated with seeds, preferably of nanocrystal size, of the semiconductor material. The structure of the nanocrystal seeds (not the substrate) serves as a template for the structure of the final polycrystalline film. The density of the seeds and the thickness of the grown polycrystalline film determine the grain size of the polycrystalline film at the surface of said film. Epitaxial CVD onto the seeds to produce the polycrystalline film avoids the recrystallization step generally necessary for the formation of a polycrystalline film, and thus allows for the growth of polycrystalline films at reduced temperatures.

Abstract: A self-service automated teller machine system includes a transaction authorisation module (44) which uses a biometric recognition technique, such as voice or fingerprint recognition, in combination with predictive technology. The biometric recognition test is normally decisive, but if this test produces a result which is not conclusive but is close to a predetermined threshold, a predictive system (38) checks to determine whether the transaction is consistent with the user's normal behaviour before permitting the transaction to proceed. A suspicion count may also be included in the decision-making process, to determine whether or not the user has a previous record of suspicious transactions.

Abstract: A granulated product contains an inorganic peroxide compound, a granulated activator and an excipient. The granulated activator is prepared by agglomerating (a) finely ground activator material with (b) water- or alkali-soluble polymers, the ratio a : b being greater than 90 : 10. Before being mixed with the inorganic peroxide compound and the excipient, the granulated activator is sprayed with an organic compound melting between 30 and 100  DEG C from the group of non-ionic surfactants, long-chain alcohols, polyethylene glycols, fatty acids, waxes and their mixtures. The finished product is thus prevented from dissociating during transport or motions. After spraying, the granulated activator preferably contains 1 to 25 % by weight, in particular 2 to 10 % by weight, of the organic compound melting between 30 and 100  DEG C.

Filed: 1994-06-06
Abstract: The present invention makes available assays and reagents for identifying anti-proliferative agents, such as mitotic and meiotic inhibitors, especially inhibitors of cdc25 phosphatase. The present assay provides a simple and rapid screening test which relies on scoring for positive cellular proliferation as indicative of anti-mitotic or anti-meiotic activity, and comprises contacting a candidate agent with a cell which has an impaired cell-cycle checkpoint and measuring the level of proliferation in the presence and absence of the agent. The checkpoint impairment is such that it either causes premature progression of the cell through at least a portion of a cell-cycle or inhibition of normal progression of the cell through at least a portion of a cell-cycle, but can be off-set by the action of an agent which inhibits at least one regulatory protein of the cell-cycle in a manner which counter-balances the effect of the impairment.

Title: Hybrid adaptive allocation for audio encoder and decoder
Inventor: DAVIDSON GRANT ALLEN
IPC: H04B14/06
Filed: 1994-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates in general to low bit-rate encoding and decoding of information such as audio information. More particularly, the invention relates to computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation and quantization of encoded information useful in high-quality low bit-rate coding systems. In one embodiment, an audio split-band encoder splits an input signal into frequency subband signals, quantizes the subband signals according to values established by an allocation function, and assembles the quantized subband signals into an encoded signal. The allocation function establishes allocation values in accordance with psychoacoustic principles based upon a masking threshold. The masking threshold is established by estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal, generating an excitation pattern by applying a spreading function to the PSD, adjusting the excitation pattern by an amount equal to a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) offset sufficient to achieve psychoacoustic masking, comparing the level of the adjusted pattern to the threshold of hearing and generating a masking threshold which is equal to the larger of the two. The spreading function may be implemented by applying one or more IIR filters to the input signal PSD.
