Patent EP-0899792-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSON FRANK SCOTT
IPC: H01L29/49
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: A transistor and method of construction are described that
comprises composite sidewall spacer bodies 20 and 22. Bodies 20
and 22 are formed using a silicon nitride layer 16 and a silicon
dioxide layer 18. Bodies 20 and 22 are disposed on opposite
sidewalls of a gate conductor body 14 which is separated from a
semiconductor substrate 10 by a gate insulator layer 12.
Sidewall bodies 20 and 22 provide the controllable and robust
characteristics of silicon nitride, but do not require the
formation of a thick silicon nitride layer which might result in
the migration of unwanted impurities into the substrate 10 from
the conductor body 14.

Abstract: A system which observes the world through a video
camera and/or other sensors, automatically learns a
probabilistic model of normative behavior through the
use of a Hidden Markov Model, and uses that model to
infer the kind of activity currently under view and
detect unusual behavior. The use of hidden Markov
models is made possible by entropic training of the
model with an    entropic estimator that folds structure
learning into the parameter estimation process
to remove parameters from the Hidden Markov Model
which have little information content, thus to permit
real time robust unusual behavior detection. In one
embodiment, the system consists of three components:
image analysis; model learning; and signal analysis.
In image analysis, each frame of video is reduced to
a vector of numbers which describe motion of objects
in front of the camera, with a sequence of such vectors,
one for each frame of video, establishing the
"signal". In model learning, the signal is analyzed
to obtain parameters for a probabilistic model of the
dynamics of the scene in front of the camera. In signal
analysis, the model is used to classify and/or
detect anomalies in signals produced on-the-fly by
image analysis of new video.

Abstract: In a new communication game system using communication, two kinds of
communication game devices are realized with the same hardware and by differentiating
their active modes. Communication between a communication game device of the first
kind and a communication game device of the second kind is made by differentiating the
transmitting frequency of the first kind device and the transmitting frequency of the
second kind device from each other. A unmodulated pulse is transmitted at a specified
frequency, and the pulse duration is changed with message. When a communication game
device of the second kind receives a signal having a message from the communication
game device of the first kind, the device of the second kind makes an annunciation and
transmits a responding signal if the received message is in accord with the message of its
own. The communication game device of the fist kind make an annunciation when it
receives a responding signal.

Abstract: Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) or other network information identifiers are
transmitted with television signals in order to permit web content to be displayed in
synchronization with television programming. In an illustrative embodiment, URLs are
embedded in a closed caption portion of a transmitted television signal, and delimited from
the closed caption text using predetermined delimiting characters. A decoder extracts the
URLs from the television signal, and supplies the URLs to a retrieval device which
automatically retrieves corresponding web pages or other similar information over a
network. The retrieved web pages are then displayed to a viewer in synchronization with
related programming in the television signal. The retrieval device may be a set-top box
associated with a television set that displays both a retrieved web page and the
corresponding television picture portion of the television signal. Alternatively, the retrieval
device may be a computer which retrieves and displays a web page, while the
corresponding television picture is displayed on a television set.

Abstract: A method of amplifying the torque output by an
electric torque motor  (10)  of a system such as a vehicle
electronic throttle control system. Upon the formation of
ice on and around the throttle plate  (T)  of an electronic
throttle system, the torque output by the torque motor  (10) 
connected to rotate the throttle plate  (T)  is amplified
from a normal operating torque to an amplified torque
sufficient to overcome the ice or other obstruction. The
method includes applying either a clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction torque to the rotor  (38)  of the torque
motor  (10)  to twist the output shaft  (34)  connected to the
stuck throttle plate  (T) . The torque applied to the rotor
 (38)  is then reversed so that the other of the clockwise
and counter-clockwise direction of torque is applied to the
rotor  (38) . The foregoing torque-application steps are
repeated in succession at a select frequency equal to the
natural frequency of the mechanical system of which the
motor  (10)  and throttle plate  (T)  are parts. As such, a
resonant condition is established and the torque applied to
the rotor  (38)  is amplified to a level sufficient to
overcome the ice or other obstruction. A torque motor
system is provided to implement the torque amplification
method.

are copied from the library apparatus to the cache device,

transferred from the library apparatus to the cache device
at other times, thereby avoiding unnecessary cache
replacements and improving the efficiency with which
requests can be served.
