Abstract: In coded representation of audio, video and system bitstreams, it is
common to insert start codes to facilitate synchronization points. The start codes
are usually unique patterns that cannot be duplicated within the bitstream. In the
decoding process it is necessary to detect these start codes in order to begin the
decoding of the bitstream in a synchronized way. In typical cases, it is normal for
the start code to be byte aligned and have the first few bytes comprising of the
same pattern. The present invention is a method and apparatus that exploit this
feature to reduce the number of comparisons required. A specific order is used in
comparing the input bitstream to the start code pattern. Using this order the
decode, only need to compare a subset of the bytes during the start code
detection process.

Abstract: The method involves substituting at least part of the flank of data bits of a data signal by synthetically generated amplitude values. The amplitude values form flanks which keep the band width restrictions set for the coded data bits. Preferably, the amplitude values form at least parts of a sinusoidal oscillation. The insertion of the flanks structured by the amplitude values is carried out in a preset, constant clock raster. The entire data signal is substituted by synthetically generated amplitude values.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and
apparatus for forming an interconnect with application
in small feature sizes (such as quarter micron widths)
having high aspect ratios. Generally, the present
invention provides a method and apparatus for
depositing a wetting layer for subsequent physical
vapor deposition to fill the interconnect. In one
aspect of the invention, the wetting layer is a metal
layer deposited using either CVD techniques or
electroplating, such as CVD aluminum (Al). The
wetting layer is nucleated using an ultra-thin layer,
denoted as ε layer, as a nucleation layer. The ε
layer is preferably comprised of a material such as
Ti, TiN, Al, Ti/TiN, Ta, TaN, Cu, a flush of TDMAT or
the like. The ε layer may be deposited using PVD or
CVD techniques, preferably PVD techniques to improve
film quality and orientation within the feature.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, the ε layer is not
continuous to nucleate the growth of the CVD wetting
layer thereon. A PVD deposited metal is then
deposited on the wetting layer at low temperature to
fill the interconnect.

Abstract: A burner (10) for the combustion of fuel comprises
a passage (22) through which in operation a mixed flow
of fuel and air passes for primary combustion at its
outlet. Two further annular passages (24 & 26),
concentric with and radially outward of the passage
(22) are provided through which supplementary flows of
air pass to support primary combustion. The outlets of
the two annular passages (24 & 26) diverge to discharge
the supplementary flows of air at an angle to the mixed
flow of fuel and air. An additional air passage (28)
in provided radially outward of the passages (24 & 26).
Air discharges from the air passage to adjust the
effective angle of divergence of the supplementary
flows or air which support combustion. The air
discharged from the additional passage (28) controls
the overall flame geometry to prevent interaction
between flames from adjacent burners (10). The flame
shape is optimised to meet the furnace geometry leading
to a reduction of pollutant emissions.
