Abstract: The production of a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) device (40) on a wafer substrate comprises providing a sub-collector layer on a wafer substrate, a phosphorus-based or arsenic-based collector layer on a sub-collector layer, a base layer on a phosphorus-based collector layer, and an emitter layer on a base layer; removing portions of the emitter layer; depositing a base metal; etching portions of the base layer; and performing collector etch. The production of an HBT device on a wafer substrate comprises providing a sub-collector layer on a wafer substrate, a phosphorus-based or arsenic-based collector layer on the sub-collector layer, a base layer on the phosphorus-based collector layer, and an emitter layer on a base layer; removing portions of the emitter layer to form emitter (52); depositing a base metal to form base contact (42) and a connecting bridge; etching portions of the base layer to form a first base mesa below the emitter; and performing collector etch to form collector region(s). The connecting bridge is oriented at 001, 010, 001, or 010 direction w.r.t the major flat of the wafer. The connecting bridge connects the second base mesa to the base contact. The collector etch undercuts the conductive bridge to remove collector material from underneath the bridge and to form opening underneath the bridge.

Title: Method for processing audio-signals
Inventor: VETTER ROLF
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: The invention regards a method for processing audio-signals whereby audio signals
are captured at two spaced apart locations and subject to a transformation in the
perceptual domain (Bar or Mel), whereupon:
   a. a (blind or supervised) source separation process is performed to give a
first estimate of the wanted signal parts and the noise parts of the
microphone signals and   b. a coherence based separation process is performed to give a second
estimate of the wanted signal parts and the noise parts of the microphone
signals, and where further a sound field diffuseness detection is performed
on the at least two signals,  
whereby further the sound field diffuseness detections is used to mix the output
from the blind source separation and the coherence based separation process in
order to achieve the best possible signal. The transfer functions calculated from
the source separation are used to reconstruct a virtual stereophonic sound field in
restore the spatial information about the source position in the enhanced signals.

Abstract: A gateway 15 of an in-home audio visual distribution system comprises first to third encoder or transcoders 20-22, each being associated with a respective buffer 23-25. Each encoder or transcoder and buffer combination process signals from a different input channel. Data signals from the buffers are scheduled by an earliest deadline first scheduler 26 for transmission over a wireless link via a transmitter 17. A joint bit rate controller 27 is arranged to control the encoders or transcoders to adopt a bit rate which is dependent on the amount of data stored in the buffers 23-25 awaiting transmission, particularly on the difference between the amount of data and a target amount. The output bit rate of the encoders or transcoders is dependent also on the complexity of the content being coded. Following a channel change or start-up event, the scheduler 26 is controlled to transmit data for the relevant channel with priority over data for the other channels.

Abstract: The shift register circuit arrangement (1), or a finite-impulse-response-digital-digital-to-analog converter for audio technology respectively, comprises a plurality of sequentially cascaded flip-flops (3.1,..., 3.n) connected together in pairs by a data line (2), which elements can be clocked by a clock signal over a clock signal line (7). The flip-flops (3.1,..., 3.n) are then connected together in pairs in series by the clock signal line (7). The connection of the flip-flops (3.1,..., 3n) by the clock signal line (7) is such that a signal on the data line (2) and the clock signal propagate in opposite directions to adhere to the necessary setup and hold times. Due to the delay, which occurs in each flip-flop (3.1,..., 3n), the flip-flops (3.1,..., 3n) are not clocked simultaneously, so that only slight power impulses are developed on the supply lines. Therefore, the circuit arrangement (1) has improved electromagnetic compatibility without separate delay circuits being necessary.
