Abstract: A pad oxide film (11) and a silicon nitride film (12) are formed on a semiconductor substrate (10). Next, after the patterning of the silicon nitride film (12), by etching the pad oxide film (11) and the substrate (10), a first trench (13a) is formed in a first region and a second trench (13b) is formed in a second region. After that, by performing side etching of the pad oxide film (11) of the first region while protecting the second region with a resist, a gap is formed between the substrate (10) and the silicon nitride film (12). Subsequently, the inner surfaces of the first and second trenches (13a, 13b) are oxidized.

Abstract: According to the present invention, drive voltage
pulses are applied between a pair of electrodes (X, Y)
by driving a first power source (V 2 ) having a specific
voltage from a state in which the electrodes are
maintained at the potential of a reference power
source (V 1 ) that is different from the potential of the
ground power source (GND), and then returning it to the
reference power source (V 1 ). The address line A is
maintained at ground. As a result, the gas discharge
current or capacitance charging and discharging current
accompanying the application of the drive voltage
pulses is prevented from flowing to the ground power
source line.

Abstract: A circuit is disclosed for monitoring a reference voltage
generated in a semiconductor memory device to facilitate a
memory access operation. The circuit utilizes a pair of
Schmitt trigger circuits. A first of the Schmitt trigger
circuits detects the voltage appearing on the output of a
reference voltage generator falling below a minimum threshold
voltage level. A second of the Schmitt trigger circuits
detects the output voltage of the reference voltage generator
exceeding a maximum threshold voltage level. The circuit may
further include reset circuitry for initially placing
predetermined voltage levels on the inputs of the Schmitt
trigger circuits. An output circuit receives the output of
each Schmitt trigger circuit and generates an output signal
having a value indicative of whether the output of the
reference voltage generator is not within an acceptable
voltage range.

Abstract: A synchronous controller capable of easily controlling a slave axis in
synchronism with a master axis performing a composite motion of a plurality
of axes. Motion commands for two axes X, Y constituting the master axis are
subject to interpolation/distribution and acceleration/deceleration processing, to
determine distribution motion amounts, and the determined amounts of motion
of the two axes X, Y constituting the master axis for every interpolation period
are combined to determine an amount of motion M of the master axis, from
which is determined an amount of motion of the slave axis for every
interpolation/distribution period. The determined amounts of motion of the X,
Y and slave axes are output to respective servo control means, thus driving the
respective axes. In case the master axis is constituted by a means driven by
external X and Y axes, amounts of motion of the external X and Y axes for
every predetermined period are detected by detectors, and used, instead of the
distribution motion amount, to determine an amount of motion M of the master
axis from which an amount of motion of the slave axis is determined to drive
the slave axis.

Abstract: In a multiprocessor data processing system including: a main memory; at
least first and second shared caches; a system bus coupling the main memory
and the first and second shared caches; at least four processors having
respective private caches with the first and second private caches being coupled
to the first shared cache and to one another via a first internal bus, and the third
and fourth private caches being coupled to the second shared cache and to one
another via a second internal bus; method and apparatus for preventing hogging
of ownership of a gateword stored in the main memory and which governs
access to common code/data shared by processes running in at least three of
the processors. Each processor includes a gate control flag. A gateword CLOSE
command, establishes ownership of the gateword in one processor and
prevents other processors from accessing the code/data guarded until the one
processor has completed its use. A gateword OPEN command then broadcasts
a gateword interrupt to set the flag in each processor, delays long enough to
ensure that the flags have all been set, writes an OPEN value into the gateword
and flushes the gateword to main memory. A gateword access command
executed by a requesting processor checks its gate control flag, and if set, starts
a fixed time delay after which normal execution continues.

Abstract: An abstraction module that facilitates security configuration amongst a
number of initiators in a manner that there are no conflicts in the security information
across all initiators. The abstraction module exposes a common interface that may be
used to configure any of the initiators, receives through this common interface an

a selected target device, and retrieves security information from a common database,
the database including information that is relevant to configuring security for any of
the plurality of initiators. The abstraction module identifies a security configuration
for the selected initiator using the retrieved security information and, if the settings
would not cause a conflict with any of the other of the initiators, uses the identified
security configuration to configure the selected initiator.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method and a corresponding system for scheduling invocation of web services from a central point of control. For this purpose, a scheduler (205) accesses a workload database (220), which associates an execution agent (210) and a descriptor (240) with each job to be submitted. In the proposed solution, the descriptor identifies a desired web service (255) and the address of the corresponding WSDL document (245), which specify the structure of the messages supported by the web service (for example, conforming to the SOAP specification); the descriptor also includes the actual content of a request message to be passed to the web service. Whenever the job is submitted for execution (according to a predefined plan), the scheduler sends its descriptor to the associated agent. In response thereto, the agent downloads the WSDL document of the corresponding web service; a request message (250) for the web service is then built embedding the desired content into the structure specified in the WSDL document. The agent sends the request message to an endpoint implementing the web service (as specified in the WSDL document), so as to cause its invocation.

Abstract: A reduced voltage regulation circuit for switched mode power supplies. In one
embodiment, a voltage regulation circuit (300) includes a current sense circuit having a
current sense terminal (304) to conduct a current to be sensed by the current sense circuit. A
voltage difference between the current sense terminal (304) and a voltage reference terminal

substantially equal to a first current sense threshold. 
The voltage regulation circuit also includes a first impedance coupled between the
current sense terminal and the voltage reference terminal to provide a second
current sense threshold. The second current sense threshold is equal to a sum of
the first current sense threshold and a current to flow through the first impedance. 
The voltage regulation circuit further includes a second impedance coupled
between the current sense terminal and an input terminal. The input terminal has
a voltage threshold relative to the voltage reference terminal that is different from
a voltage at the current sense terminal by an amount that is a product of the
second impedance and the second current threshold.

Abstract: In a truing method and apparatus, an analyzing method is employed to calculate a truing shape from which a grinding surface having been trued with a grinding wheel (9) being rotated at a low rotational speed during a truing operation is deformed to a desired shape due to centrifugal expansion depending on a rotational speed difference when the grinding wheel (9) is rotated at a high rotational speed during a grinding operation. Then, with the grinding wheel (9) being rotated at the low rotational speed, the grinding surface is trued with a truing roll (11) to the calculated truing shape. As a result, the grinding surface of the grinding wheel (9) being rotated at the low rotational speed is trued with the truing roll (11) taking into consideration the centrifugal expansion of the grinding surface which takes place when the grinding wheel (9) is rotatated at the high rotational speed during the grinding operation subsequent to the truing operation.
