Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition de plastisol caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend un polyalkylène glycol et/ou un dérivé de polyalkylène glycol (X) ainsi que des particules polymères (Y). Cette composition constitue une charge considérablement réduite pour l'environnement étant donné qu'elle utilise des particules polymères non halogénées dépourvues d'atome d'halogène ne produisant pas de gaz de chlorure d'hydrogène, de dioxine ou analogue pendant une incinération. Elle ne contient pas de plastifiant à base d'acide phtalique comme milieu de dispersion essentiel. En outre, cette composition peut être utilisée pour produire un film gélifié ne présentant aucune perte de milieu de dispersion et possédant d'excellentes propriétés de rétention du milieu de dispersion, de maniabilité et d'aptitude au traitement. Ladite composition permet également de produire un film gélifié et un article présentant d'excellentes propriétés mécaniques.

Abstract: In the manufacture of trench-gate power MOSFETs, trenched Schottky rectifiers and other devices including a Schottky barrier, a guard region (15s), trenched insulated electrode (11s) and the Schottky barrier (80) are self-aligned with respect to each other by providing spacers (52) to form a narrow window (52a) at a wider window (51a) in a mask pattern (51, 51s) that masks where the Schottky barrier (80) is to be formed. The trenched insulated electrode (11s) is formed by etching a trench (20) at the narrow window (52a) and by providing insulating material (17) and then electrode material (11s) in the trench. The guard region (15s) is provided by introducing dopant (61) via the wider window (51a). The mask pattern (51, 51s) masks the underlying body portion against this dopant introduction and is sufficiently wide (y8) to prevent the dopant (61) from extending laterally into the area where the Schottky barrier (80) is to be formed. Then at least the mask pattern (51, 51s) is removed before depositing a Schottky electrode (33).

Abstract: In a method for the transmission of a plurality of data packets from a sender (1) to a receiver (2), the data transmission is performed over a link (5) with a transmission capacity having a limit. A presentation time is defined for a first data packet of said plurality, and the receiver (2) performs a first check whether data packets are correctly received. At least one data packet is selected for retransmission according to the result of the first check. In the method, a delay budget (DB) is determined from the presentation time of the first data packet. Furthermore, a delay requirement is determined for the retransmission of the selected data packet from the limit of the transmission capacity and from the transmission capacity required for the selected data packet. A comparison (30) of the delay requirement and the delay budget (DB) is performed, and the retransmission is executed for the selected data packet according to the result of the comparison (30). Devices and software programs for executing the method are also described.
