Patent EP-0944432-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAGGART THOMAS
IPC: B01L9/06
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: A support is provided that is useful with a pipette tip holder for pipette tips. The support (14) has a bottom member (16) and a pair of opposed side walls (18a, 18b). The side walls (18a, 18b) are attached to the bottom member (16) and extend therefrom at least a distance (d). The bottom member (16) and side walls (18a, 18b) form a cavity (20) therebetween. Each side wall (18a, 18b) defines a slot (22a, 22b) therein. The slots are in a facing relationship and extend between first ends (24a, 24b) and second ends (26a, 26b) along a support plane (28). The support plane (28) is parallel to the bottom member (16) and spaced the distance (d) above it. The distance (d) is such that when the tip holder (10) containing pipette tips (P) is inserted into the slots (22a, 22b), the tips (P) do not touch the bottom member (16) but continue to rest on the tip holder (10). Thus, the support (14) supports the pipette tips (P) and pipette tip holder (10) during the pipette tip removal process and resists inadvertent dislodging and lifting of tips (P) and holder (10) as the tips are removed.

Abstract: There are provided a channel estimation unit for
achieving highly accurate channel estimation, a CDMA
receiver and a CDMA transceiver with the channel
estimation unit. Channel estimates of data symbols
are obtained from pilot symbols in a combined symbol
sequence which has a plurality of slots and includes
the data symbols and the pilot symbols. First, the
pilot symbols in the combined symbol sequence are
located. Second, pilot blocks are generated by
extracting the pilot symbols from two or more slots
in the combined symbol sequence. Third, channel
estimates of the data symbols are obtained by
calculating a weighted sum of averages of the pilot
symbols in the individual pilot blocks. The
weighted sum is carried out using appropriate
weighting factors for individual data symbols in
each slot. This enables highly accurate channel
estimation.

Abstract: A structure and method for fabricating circuits which use field
effect transistors (FETs), bipolar transistors, or BiCMOS
(combined Bipolar/Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon structures),
uses low temperature germanium gas flow to affect metals and
alloys deposited in high aspect ratio structures including lines
and vias. By using a germanium gas flow, germanium (Ge) will be
introduced in a surface reaction which prevents voids and side
seams and which also provides a passivating layer of CuGe. If a
hard cap is needed for surface passivation or a wear-resistance
application, the GeH 4  gas followed by WF 6  can be used to produce
an in-situ hard cap of W x Ge y . Further, high aspect ratio
vias/lines (aspect ratio of 3 or more) can be filled by utilizing
low pressures and high temperatures (i.e., below 450 °C) without
degrading the underlying metals.

Abstract: A transfer gate or pass gate circuit for transferring logic signals between
nodes for a range of available high-potential supply levels. The primary transfer
gate of the present invention is designed to protect against potentials that either
exceed either a high-potential or a low-potential level or that undershoot such
potential levels. For overshoot (overvoltage) tolerance, this is achieved by
coupling a NMOS transistor in parallel with a pair of PMOS transistors that are
coupled in series. All three transistors are located between two nodes, either of
which can be the input or the output of the transfer gate. The NMOS transistor is
designed to be larger than the PMOS transistors and carries most of the transfer
capability. The smaller PMOS transistors are designed to eliminate potential
drops that would otherwise occur with a single NMOS transistor or with a
complementary pair of transistors. For undershoot (undervoltage) tolerance, a
PMOS transistor is coupled in parallel with a pair of NMOS transistors that are
coupled in series.
