Abstract: The comparator contains an inverter having a first depletion FET (3) and a first enhancement FET (4) and a series circuit of a second depletion FET (1) and a second enhancement FET (2). All FETs are of the same channel type. The node (10) between the second enhancement FET and the second depletion FET is connected to the gate terminal of the first enhancement FET. The voltage (Ue) to be compared is applied between the second enhancement FET and earth. The transfer characteristic (Ugs/ID) of the second enhancement FET (2) is steeper than that of the first enhancement FET (4).

Abstract: A magnetic medium edge detector is provided which detects the edge of the medium (e.g. a tape) by processing the noise power produced by an MR element when it is completely off the tape and the noise power produced by the MR element when it is completely on the tape. The off tape noise power is produced by factors intrinsic to the MR element and circuitry connected thereto, while the on tape noise power is produced by the heating of the MR element due to friction between moving magnetic tape and the MR element. The difference between the off tape noise power and the on tape noise power is divided by an integer greater than one to produce a reference noise signal. The reference noise signal represents a reference position of the MR element with respect to the edge of the tape. For instance, if the integer is two the MR element is at its reference position when the edge of the tape bisects the width of the MR element. The magnitude of off tape noise power is directly related to the width of the MR element. Once the reference position is detected the MR element or a plurality of interconnected MR elements can be indexed to desired information or servo tracks on the magnetic tape.

Abstract: A method for forming an isolation structure (22) on a SOI substrate (11) is provided. A three layer stack of an etchant barrier layer (16), a stress relief layer (17), and an oxide mask layer (18) is formed on the SOI substrate (11). The three layer stack is patterned and etched to expose portions of the etchant barrier layer (16). The silicon layer (13) below the exposed portions of the etchant barrier layer (16) is oxidized to form the isolation structure (22). The isolation structure (22) comprises a bird's head region (21) with a small encroachment which results in higher edge threshold voltage. The method requires minimum over-oxidation and provides for an isolation structure (22) that leaves the SOI substrate (11) planar. Minimal over-oxidation reduces the number of dislocations formed during the oxidation process and improves the source to drain leakage of the device.

Abstract: To provide a multiplex communication system (1) where nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) can reliably shift to a sleep state even though the system (1) has a very simple structure and even if abnormal conditions occur in any node, multiple nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) communicate with each other through a communication network (10), and when the individual nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) are in a state of being unable to shift to a sleep state, they set a sleep disable bit in signals (SLNG) to be transmitted and transmit them. When they become able to shift to the sleep state, the individual nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) confirm that they have not yet received an active sleep disable bit sent from other nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) continuously over a predetermined period of time or more. Thereafter, each individual node (2, 4, 6, 8) proceeds to the sleep state. According to the system (1), the individual nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) can proceed to the sleep state by simply determining non-transmission of the sleep disable bit from other nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) even in the presence of nodes (2, 4, 6, 8) deactivated due to failures.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly sensitive and accurate method and system for the discrimination and quantification of platelets in a whole blood sample using automated hematology instruments. The method and system of the invention provide the accurate measurements of platelet dry mass and platelet component concentration in both normal blood samples and in abnormal blood samples, such as those from thrombocytopenic patients. The determination of platelet dry mass and platelet component concentration can serve to assess the activation state of platelets since activated platelets possess measurably lower component concentrations and refractive indices than do unactivated platelets. The method and system of the invention also allows the clinician or skilled practitioner to determine the age of a blood sample on the basis of the measured parameter of platelet component concentration.
