Abstract: Module (10) comprises a chip carrier (1) and an integrated semiconductor chip 9 having its contact pads (11), facing the chip carrier, fixed in a recess (5) of the latter. Through a slot (3) in chip carrier (1), contact pads (11 are connected by lead wires (12) to conductors 8 on the top side (2) of carrier (1). The entire module (10) has a height ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 mm and thus permits in­creasing the packaging density of standard EDP systems. In addition, such modules are more readily producible than DIP modules with molded plastic housings. A module package comprising four such modules has a height that is noticeably less than that of comparable module packages with standard modules. By arranging a plurality of such modules with different chips adjacent to each other, a card may be obtained which as a basic card acts as an identification and/or a credit card.

Abstract: A maximum likelihood sequence estimation apparatus for estimating a transmitted signal sequence from a received signal sequence and an estimated channel impulse response characteristic. A merge detection circuit computes a time required for respective merges, that is, the time required for convergence of all possible path to one state, instructs the maximum likelihood sequence estimation circuit to output a decided maximum likelihood data sequence to a channel impulse response characteristic estimation circuit based on such merge time and instructs a received signal hold circuit to output a held received signal to the channel impulse response characteristic estimation circuit. Thereafter, the channel impulse response characteristic estimation circuit immediately estimates the channel impulse response characteristic using the data from the maximum likelihood sequence estimation circuit and the received signal hold circuit. The apparatus allows the channel impulse response characteristic to be estimated at a higher speed, thus improving system efficiency.

Abstract: An instruction fetch unit IU in a microprocessor capable of decoding two instructions in parallel fetches first and second instructions of the shortest instructions in one cycle. The fetched first instruction is supplied to and decoded by a first instruction decoder IDO, while the fetched second instruction is supplied to and decoded by a second instruction decoder ID1. In a case where an instruction having a bit width longer than the shortest instruction has been fetched by the instruction fetch unit IU, information to be decoded by the second instruction decoder ID1 is the non-head code of the instruction, and hence, a pipeline control unit PCNT invalidates the decoded result of the second instruction decoder ID1. Thus, it is permitted to decode the two shortest instructions in parallel, and to eliminate the erroneous information of the decoded result of the second decoder in the case of the fetch of the non-shortest instruction.

Abstract: A self-locking fastener system comprises a pin (12) for receipt in a hole in a workpiece and having an external thread (20) which mates with a collar (10) having an internal thread (18) for carrying a tensile load. A plurality of helically extending flutes (22) in the external thread on the pin (12) collectively extend approximately one full revolution around the circumference of the thread (20). The collar has three longitudinally extending lobes (28) for driving by a deltoid driver socket. When a desired clamp-up load is achieved on a workpiece, the socket plastically deforms the lobes and collar material radially inwardly thereof so that some of the collar material inwardly from each lobe is displaced into the void volume created by a helical flute (22). This displaced collar material inhibits unscrewing of the collar from the pin.

Abstract: An electron wave is propagated through a plurality of quantum-structure paths of a quantum interference device and is branched into into plural electron waves that are confined in the quantum-structure paths. The electron waves from the quantum-structure paths are combined into a plurality of kinds of different energy level electron waves with varying magnitudes dependent on phase differences between the branched electron waves. The currents of the plurality of kinds of electron waves are detected and a non-fluctuating current is produced from the detected currents. The fluctuation of the electron wave current does not influence the non-fluctuating current and the phase differences among branched electron waves may be modulated by light, an electric field or a magnetic field applied to the branching portion of the device.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, operating an automatic message recognition system. In accordance with the method the following steps are executed: a user's speech is converted to a first signal; a user's handwriting is converted to a second signal; and the first signal and the second signal are processed to decode a consistent message, conveyed separately by the first signal and by the second signal, or conveyed jointly by the first signal and the second signal. The step of processing includes the steps of converting the first signal into a plurality of first multi-dimensional vectors and converting the second signal into a plurality of second multi-dimensional vectors. For a system employing a combined use of speech and handwriting the step of processing includes a further step of combining individual ones of the plurality of first multi-dimensional vectors and individual ones of the plurality of second multi-dimensional vectors to form a plurality of third multi-dimensional vectors. The multi-dimensional vectors are employed to train a single set of word models, for joint use of speech and handwriting, or two sets of word models, for sequentially employed or merged speech and handwriting.

Abstract: An instruction scheduler for a computer provides for scheduling of a sequence of instructions beyond basic block boundaries by suppressing selected sub-sequences of instructions to generate a modified sequence of instructions and then scheduling the modified sequence of instructions using a conventional basic block scheduler. Preferably a sub-sequence is automatically suppressed by the basic block scheduler in response to being instructed that the entry point and the exit point for scheduling operation relate to separate basic blocks. Alternatively, a sub-sequence can be labelled as being for suppression by tagging the instructions of the sub-sequence appropriately. Alternatively, it can be suppressed by saving the subsequence and by inserting a pseudo instruction in its place and including a pointer from the pseudo instruction to the saved sub-sequence of instructions. In the latter case, after scheduling, the pseudo instruction can be expanded by accessing the saved sub-sequence using the pointer in the pseudo instruction. A candidate sub-sequence for suppression can be found by identifying a region of a control flow graph for the input instruction sequence which has a unique entry and a unique exit and meets predetermined criteria.

Abstract: Each diode of an indium antimonide electro-optical detector array on a dielectric backing transparent to optical energy to be detected includes a junction that less than about a half micron from the diode surface on which the energy is initially incident. The optical energy is incident on a P-type doped region prior to being incident on a bulk N-type doped region. Both P- and N-type doped regions of adjacent diodes are spaced from each other. Metal electrically connects the P-type doped regions together without interfering substantially with the incident optical energy. A multiplexer integrated circuit substrate extends parallel to the backing and includes an array of elements for selective readout of the electric property of the diodes. The elements and diodes have approximately the same topographical arrangement so that corresponding ones of the elements and diodes are aligned. An array of indium columns or bumps connects the corresponding aligned elements and diodes.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device has regular memory cells (RC1 - RCm) arranged in rows and columns, and, when one of the regular memory cells in a row is defective, the row is replaced with redundant memory cells (RCr - RCs). A fuse element (34) is then broken so as to isolate the power supply line (BL1/BLn) associated with the row from the main power supply line (GND) so that a defective memory cell does not consume any current, thereby improving the power consumption of the semiconductor memory device, and avoiding the need to reject the device due to large current consumption.
