Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: A field oxide film 12, an n+-type dispersion layer 13, and an interlayer insulating film 14 are formed on a p-type semiconductor substrate, and a contact hole is formed therein. A titanium film 15 is deposited on the surface formed thus far, and phosphorus is ion-implanted into a contact region through the titanium film, forming a phosphorus-dispersed layer (16). The layer (16) prevents the metal contact (15a, 18) shorting to the (11) in the event of a misalignment of the mask for forming the window in the oxide layer (14) with respect to the region (13). The substrate is heat-treated to activate the impurity in the phosphorus-dispersed layer 16 and to cause titanium and silicon to react with each other, thereby forming a titanium silicide film 17 in the contact region. A metal film is then deposited and patterned into a metal wiring 18 without removing a silicon nitride film 15a which has been produced from the titanium film. <IMAGE>

Title: Systems and methods for controlling compressors
Inventor: CENTERS STEVEN D
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 1995-11-23
Abstract: An electronic control system dynamically varies the output capacity of a compressor (102) by controlling plural valves (322, 336) associated with the compressor to provide pressurized air (346) to a distribution system at an appropriate rate. The control system operates in any of three modes for standalone operation, including continuous run, auto/dual pressure band, and target pressure modes. In the first two modes, pressure bands are dynamically calculated based on load and unload values entered by an operator. These electronic control systems can also be connected in a peer-to-peer network to coordinate control of up to 16 compressors feeding the same distribution system, so as to maintain a desired target pressure in the system. A modem connected to the system supports remote diagnostics, monitoring, and control. Specialized startup, operating, and shutdown diagnostic algorithms prevent damage to the compressor and avert unsafe operating conditions. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: To store main information A (e.g image or MIDI data) with associated additional information (e.g. for copyright indication) incorporated therein, data F constituting the additional information is divided into small-size data pieces of, e.g., one bit. Then, the respective values of particular ones of predetermined data units (e.g., bytes) constituting the main information are modified in accordance with a predetermined algorithm containing the value of each of the data pieces as a parameter. Only some of the data unit values are altered with the others left unaltered. The modified main information D is stored. The individual data pieces can be reproduced from the stored particular data units by inversely executing the algorithm.

IPC: G01S11/10
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus calculates its location based upon radio control signals received from at least three different base stations 104,102, 112. A plurality of transmission inhibition areas are stored as data and the transceiver is controlled depending on whether the location of the mobile communication apparatus is within one of the transmission inhibition areas. Signal transit time and/or Doppler shift of the received control signals is used to determine the location of the mobile apparatus relative to the base stations. Location data, relating to the base stations, may either be stored at the mobile or transmitted in the control signals and this may then be used in conjunction with the relative location calculation to determine the exact location of the mobile, for subsequent comparison with a look-up table (fig.4) of prohibited transmission areas. One of the base stations 102 (fig.1) used in the location calculation may belong to a wide area, one-way communications system, whilst the other base stations 104 (fig.1) may be part of a two-way cellular communications system.
