Patent EP-1393366-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DECRE MICHEL M J
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2002-05-06
Abstract: A vertical interconnect (15) in an electronic device (10) is manufactured non-photolithographically. This is done by modifying a surface (20,30) of either a metal layer (3) or an intermediate layer of an electrically insulating material (21), and subsequently depositing a composition with a first and a second polymer. Phase separation of the two polymers will lead to a first (6) and a second sub-layer (7), of which the first sub-layer (6) is removed. An upper layer (9) of electrically conducting material can be deposited then or after a further etching step. This results in the vertical interconnect (15).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un système de détection par fluorescence portatifs et leur procédé d'utilisation. Le dispositif portatif de l'invention comprend une lumière à faible consommation d'énergie, dans laquelle une gamme de longueurs d'ondes est définie comme au moins une longueur d'onde de lumière. La source de lumière est de préférence à très haut rendement énergétique, de sorte que la plupart de l'énergie électrique consommée est alors transformée en lumière émise. La lumière émise à partir du fluorophore excité est alors détectée de préférence avec un photodétecteur à faible consommation et à faible coût quelconque. Même si éventuellement un détecteur optique très sensible peut être utilisé, la fluorescence est de préférence détectée avec un détecteur de lumière quelconque, tel qu'un photodiode classique ou un détecteur DCC (dispositif à transfert de charge) par exemple.

Abstract: A system and method for preprocessing a bitstream of compressed video data
is presented herein. The bitstream of compressed video data can include, for example,
a bitstream in accordance with the MPEG AVC standard. The bitstream is received
and modified by a preprocessor to facilitate multi-row decoding. The modifications
to the bitstream can include identification of starting points of macroblock rows with
row headers. Additionally, multi-row decoding is further facilitated by generation of
decode descriptors which indicate the starting row positions in the modified bit
stream. Additionally, the modified bit stream can be formatted in accordance with a
simpler coding scheme to simplify decompression.
