Title: Pattern generation and shift plane operations for a mesh connected computer
Inventor: MEEKER WOODROW L
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 1999-04-09
Granted: 2001-09-11
Abstract: An apparatus for processing data has a single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) architecture, and a number of features that improve performance and programmability. The apparatus includes a rectangular array of processing elements and a controller. The apparatus offers a number of techniques for shifting image data within the array. A first technique, the ROLL option, simultaneously shifts image planes in opposite directions within the array. A second technique, the gated shift option, makes a normal shift of an image plane to neighboring PEs conditional, for each PE, upon a value stored in a mask register of each PE. A third technique, the carry propagate option, combines the computations from multiple PEs in order to complete an n-bit operation in fewer than n clocks by forming ""supercells"" within the array. The apparatus also includes a multi-bit X Pattern register and a multi-bit Y Pattern register. These registers have bit values corresponding to respective columns (for the X Pattern register) and rows (for the Y Pattern register) of the array. Patterns can be propagated from these registers into corresponding rows and columns. Further these registers can be used to receive values representing the logical OR of signals generated by individual PEs within respective rows and columns. Further, a number of global data registers are used to store information which can be broadcast back into the processing array.

Title: Manufacturing method of field oxide
Inventor: KING WEI-SHANG
IPC: H01L21/76
Filed: 1999-05-11
Granted: 2003-03-01
Abstract: A manufacturing method of field oxide is provided in the present invention. The invented method includes the following steps. At first, the first liner layer and the first blocking layer are sequentially formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, an opening is formed on the first blocking layer to define the range of field oxide. The part of the first liner layer exposed by the opening is removed to form a recessed portion. The second liner layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate with its thickness smaller than that of the first liner layer. The blocking material is again formed on the recessed portion and is followed by thermal oxidation process to form field oxide on the semiconductor substrate inside the opening. By using the invented technique of local pad film thinning and the technique of forming nitride liner to grow the field oxide, the purpose of suppressing bird's beak encroachment and thinning effect of field oxide layer can be obtained.

Title: Speed-signalin testing for integrated circuits
Inventor: COLE CLIFFORD BARNES
IPC: G01R31/30
Filed: 1999-07-26
Granted: 2001-05-28
Abstract: An integrated circuit has digital logic that supports two or more different processing speeds and two or more different data rates that are distinguished by each data rate having a data prefix at a different common-mode voltage. For normal processing, the integrated circuit has one or more comparators that compare the average signal voltage level with one or more reference voltages to determine the data rate. According to one embodiment of the invention, one or more muxes are configured between the comparators and the digital logic. These muxes can be controlled during testing to by-pass the operations of the comparators to pass specified digital codes to the digital logic to simulate the operations of the comparators. In this way, the different processing speeds of the digital logic can be tested without having to build special automatic test equipment to support all of the different possible voltage levels corresponding to the different supported data rates.

Title: Signal processing method and circuit for range finder
Inventor: JIAN BI-YAU
IPC: G01S13/08
Filed: 1999-07-29
Granted: 2001-05-28
Abstract: This invention is about the signal processing method and circuit that can be used for range finder. The concept is based on the concept that noise signal is a randomly appeared phenomenon such that the same probing procedure is repeated several times and, after the obtained signals are statically processed, the target object signal is extracted according to the statistical data. At first, a probing wave is emitted to probe a desired object. Then, the reflected wave of the probing wave is received and plural signals among the reflected wave are recorded. After the procedure stated above are repeated several times, a statistical data is obtained. According to the statistical data but not the signal intensity, the information of the desired object is calculated. The characteristic of circuit is that the removal of noise signal is not necessary and the received signal is amplified, reshaped as much as possible so as to make it convenient for the statistical calculation. Therefore, target can be detected under the condition that amplitude ratio of signal/noise is smaller than 1 (S/N < 1).

Title: Comparing circuit, testing circuit and testing method for the parallel test of DRAM devices
Inventor: JOU YUNG-FA
IPC: G11C29/40
Filed: 1999-08-20
Granted: 2001-07-01
Abstract: The present invention discloses a comparing circuit applied in the parallel test of DRAM devices. The disclosed comparing circuit includes a three-stage circuit formed by two XNOR gates, a XOR gate and a tri-state output buffer. The first stage is formed by the XOR gate and the first XNOR gate for receiving the test pattern stored in the detected memory in parallel, so as to produce a first comparison result. The second XNOR gate in the second stage receives the first comparison result and is connected to the third stage via the output of the second XNOR gate. The third stage formed by an output buffering memory is coupled to the output of the second XNOR gate, thereby producing a second comparison result for being further transferred to the I/O bus. The chess-like test pattern can be applied in the comparing circuit disclosed by the present invention by the inputs of the two XOR gates produced in the first stage. In addition, when the two outputs of the second XNOR gate are of short-circuit and a logic 1 is kept in the I/O bus, it indicates that the comparing circuit is defected.

Title: Input/output port with high voltage tolerance
Inventor: CHEN WEI-FAN
IPC: H02H3/22
Filed: 1999-12-20
Granted: 2001-10-01
Abstract: The present invention provides an input/output port with high voltage tolerance. The input/output port of the present invention are coupled to a pad in an integrated circuit, which comprises a voltage dividing circuit and a switching circuit. The voltage dividing circuit is coupled to the pad, and generates a reference voltage less than the voltage on the pad according to the pad voltage. The switching circuit comprises a control gate, the control gate controls the switch of the switching circuit according to the reference voltage. Since the voltage-dividing circuit always provides a reference voltage less than the pad voltage, the control gate of the switching circuit can reduce the stress to the gate oxide layer under the control gate, therefore, the gate oxide aging problem will not occur, so the input/output port of the present invention can allow a higher voltage.

Title: Reservation requesting and allocating method on a transmission medium
Inventor: BERRADA MAROUANE
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-02-23
Granted: 2003-01-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a communication system comprising a main station, a transmission medium, and terminals. The terminals transmit requests to the main station for the purpose of having reservations granted to them on the transmission medium. Each request indicates a number of reservations. This number of reservations is obtained in a known manner from the number of data packets waiting in the transmission memory of the terminal (MEM(i,t)), from which the number of reservations already requested but not yet granted (counted by a request counter COUNT(i)) is deduced. Upon receiving a request, the main station adds the number of reservations indicated (RESA(i,t)) to an allocation counter (ALLOC(i)) associated with the requesting terminal (i). The invention improves this requesting method so as to render it less vulnerable to data losses. It consists in a resetting of the request counter (COUNT(i)) and allocation counter (ALLOC(i)), for example when an anomaly is detected in the transmission of the data (51).
