Title: Mesoporous silica film from a solution containing a surfactant and methods of making same
Inventor: DOMANSKY KAREL
IPC: H01L21/316
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: The present invention is a mesoporous silica film having a low dielectric constant and method of making having the steps of combining a surfactant in a silica precursor solution, spin-coating a film from this solution mixture, forming a partially hydroxylated mesoporous film, and dehydroxylating the hydroxylated film to obtain the mesoporous film. It is advantageous that the small polyoxyethylene ether surfactants used in spin-coated films as described in the present invention will result in fine pores smaller on average than about 20 nm. The resulting mesoporous film has a dielectric constant less than 3, which is stable in moist air with a specific humidity. The present invention provides a method for superior control of film thickness and thickness uniformity over a coated wafer, and films with low dielectric constant. The present invention is a method of dehydroxylating a silica surface that is hydroxylated having the steps of exposing the silica surface separately to a silicon organic compound and a dehydroxylating gas. Exposure to the silicon organic compound can be in liquid, gas or solution phase, and exposure to a dehydroxylating gas is typically at elevated temperatures. In one embodiment, the improvement of the dehydroxylation procedure is the repetition of the soaking and dehydroxylating gas exposure. In another embodiment, the improvement is the use of an inert gas that is substantially free of hydrogen. In yet another embodiment, the present invention is the combination of the two-step dehydroxylation method with a surfactant templating method of making a mesoporous film.

Patent AU-3543484-A (AU)
Title: Vector interrupt system
Inventor: ZARDIACKAS FREDRICK L
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1984-11-13
Abstract: @ The disclosure relates to a re-vectoring circuit of a microprocessor system wherein pending interrupts are serviced without unnecessary microprocessor state store and restore operations associated with a return-from-interrupt instruction. At the conclusion of an interrupt service routine, an indirect jump instruction is executed throught the same address location of an interrupt vector that the microprocessor indirectly jumped through when the microprocessor was initially interrupted. However, the indirect address is modified, that is, re-vectored to an indirect address within a predetermined address vector depending upon the type of a pending interrupt. The re-vectoring circuit recognizes the indirect jump address and then senses a pending interrupt if there is a pending interrupt. The re-vectoring circuit modifies the indirect address such that a jump occurs to the highest priority pending interrupt service routine. This modification of the indirect address eliminates the store and restore of the microprocessor state in between the servicing of various interrupts.

Title: Image encoding using reordering wavelet coefficients
Inventor: MALVAR HENRIQUE S
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: An encoder reorders quantized wavelet coefficients to cluster large and small wavelet coefficients into separate groups without requiring the use of data-dependent data structures. The coefficients are then adaptively encoded based on a run-length code which continuously modifies a parameter that controls the codewords uses to represent strings of quantized coefficients, seeking to minimize the number of bits spent in the codewords. A matrix of indices contains the coarsest coefficients in the upper left corner, and filling in low high and high low sub bands in larger and larger blocks in an alternating manner, such  that low high sub bands comprise the top of the matrix and the high low sub bands comprise the left side of the matrix. The shortest codewords are assigned to represent a run of the most likely character having length of 2<k>, where k is a parameter. k is adjusted based on successive characters being encountered. k is increased when the character is the same, and decreased when the character is diffierent. A decoder applies the above in reverse order.
