Abstract: An improvement in the formation of low dielectric constant carbon-containing silicon oxide
dielectric material by reacting a carbon-substituted silane with an oxidizing agent is described,
wherein the process is carried out in the presence of a reaction retardant. The reaction
retardant reduces the sensitivity of the reaction to changes in pressure, temperature, and flow
rates, and reduces the problem of pressure spiking, resulting in the formation of a deposited
film of more uniform thickness across the substrate as well as a film with a smooth surface,
and a reduction of the amount of carbon lost during the reaction. 
     The reaction retardant is selected from the group consisting of: 1) an inorganic compound
selected from the group consisting of: Cl 2 , Br 2 , I 2 , HF, HCl, HBr, HI, N 2 , NO, NO 2 , N 2 O,
H 2 S, CO, CO 2 , NH 3 , SO 2 , H 2 , Kr, Ar, Ne, and He; 2) an organic compound selected from
the group consisting of: a 1-6 carbon alkane, a 1-6 carbon alkene, a 1-6 carbon alkyne, a 1-6
carbon alcohol, a 1-6 carbon aldehyde, a 1-6 carbon ketone, a 1-6 carbon carboxylic acid, a
1-10 carbon aromatic, any of the above organic compounds having one or more atoms therein
selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, S, N, and P; and 3) mixtures of and 2 or
more of the above.

Abstract: A diversity receiver for receiving COFDM signals such as used in DAB or DVB-T has a soft-decision decoder in each of its receiving sections, to provide confidence values for the received decoded digital values, and combines the values from the receiving sections in dependence upon the confidence values. The receiver has two sections (42,44) the outputs of which are applied to a soft-decision combiner (62) which combines the signals in dependence upon confidence values available for each bit of the signal and received from the tuner/demodulators (42). The output is then applied to a Viterbi decoder (46). The combining can simply involve switching but preferably involves averaging. Synchronisation and squelching can be provided. The system can be used with spatial or polarisation diversity, or with antenna pattern diversity, in which case it can constitute an automatic rotator.

Abstract: An overhead lighting appliance having a longitudinally extending and
horizontally disposed lamp tube (4) housed within a reflector assembly of opposed downwardly
diverging side reflectors (6) and cross blades (10) which divide the reflector assembly into cells

Abstract: A multipoint control unit coordinator (MCUC) 105.
The MCUC 105 tracks all conferences in a
telecommunications system and determines how they can
be best configured and modified over time. The MCUC
105 instructs multipoint control units MCUs 104 to
break down and reconfigure calls, if necessary. A MCUC
105 according to an embodiment of the invention
maintains a database of all the MCUs 104 in the system,
a measure of processing coding resources, and a
geographical location. When two parties seek to add a
third in a conference call, the MCUC 105 determines
coding resources, geographical locations, and
determines the most appropriate mixing location based
on preferences, such as network cost or endpoint coding
resources or quality. The MCUC 105 then instructs the
MCUs 104 to handle the conference accordingly.

Abstract: The stump grinder (10) has a rotating
cutting wheel (24) that is mounted onto an arm (28)
for raising and lowering movement and is driven by a
hydraulic motor (30). The arm (28) is capable of
being moved about a generally upright axis (44) to
control the rate of laterally feed of the cutting
wheel (24). The actuator movement is controlled as a
function of the pressure to the hydraulic motor (30)
driving the cutting wheel (24) so that as the pressure
increases, the rate of feeding movement laterally of
the cutting wheel (24) is reduced. The rate of
movement is controlled in both directions of swinging
of the arm about an upright axis, by utilizing a
variable opening or proportional flow pilot operated
valve (94,104) on the lines to the actuator (68) for
controlling the swing. As pressure to the motor (30)
increases the variable outlet or proportional pilot
operated valve (94,104) connected to the pressurized
end of the swing actuator (68) opens a greater amount
diverts a portion of the hydraulic fluid flow to drain
to slow movement of the swing actuator (68).
