Patent EP-1083501-A3 (EP)
Inventor: PARASHKEVOV ATANAS NIKOLAEV
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: A method of analysing a circuit having a structural loop between different
channel connected components within the circuit first splits the circuit into its
constituent channel connected components (100). The structural loops are then detected
and broken (101) before obtaining a pair of boolean functions at each break point (102)
by inserting a pair of temporary boolean variables at the break point on a boundary
between different channel connected components and analysing each channel connected
component in the structural loop utilising the pair of temporary boolean variables to
obtain the pair of boolean functions representing the functionality of the circuit at the
break point. The pair of boolean functions are then analysed (103) to determine whether
the structural loop is sequential in nature, and, if so, the pair of boolean functions is
modified (105) in order to remove any dependence in the pair of boolean functions on
the pair of boolean variables.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for plasma etching difficult to etch materials at
a high etch rate. The method is particularly useful in plasma etching silicon nitride layers
more than five microns thick. The method includes a plasma formed by energy provided
from two separate power sources and a gaseous mixture that includes only an etchant gas
and a sputtering gas. The power levels from the separate power sources and the ratio between
the flow rates of the etchant gas and a sputtering gas can be advantageously adjusted
to obtain etch rates of silicon nitride greater than two microns per minute. Additionally, an
embodiment of the method of the invention provides a two etch step process which combines
a high etch rate process with a low etch rate process to achieve high throughput while
minimizing the likelihood of damage to underlying layers. The first etch step of the two-step
method provides a high etch rate of about two microns per minute to remove substantially
all of a layer to be etched the. In the second step, a low etch rate process having an etch rate
below about two microns per minute is used remove any residual material not removed by
the first etch step.

Abstract: A cooling system and method of an internal combustion
engine includes a heat accumulating container, wherein a flow
path is switched by a three-way switching valve 25 so that the
cooling water flows to a heat accumulating container 29 from
a combustion heater 21 before cranking at a start of an engine
1, and a discharge quantity of a second water pump 19 is increased
by rotating a drive motor for a second water pump 19 at a high
speed, thereby enabling the engine 1 to be quickly warmed up
at the start of the engine 1. With this contrivance, the
high-temperature cooling waterreserved in the heat accumulating
container 29 flows at a high speed through a cooling water
passageway 3 of the engine 1, and a heat transfer coefficient
between the cooling water and a wall surface of the engine 1
increases, thus quickly heating the engine 1.

Abstract: In a sound synthesizer, a noise adder generates a noise signal having a
frequency band of 3,400 to 4,600 Hz, adjusts the gain of the noise signal, and adds
the gain-adjusted noise signal to an excitation source excW after being filled with
zeros by a zero-filling circuit, thereby providing a wide-band excitation source
excW  which is rather flat. The signal gain is adjusted by determining a narrow-band
excitation source or a power of the wide-band excitation source after being filled
with zeros and fining the gain to the narrow-band excitation source or the power.

Abstract: A sensor structure is disclosed in which a metallic terminal member does not
require special heating-member holder means and which can be easily assembled. 
     A metallic terminal member 23 includes press portions 23d and 23e, which
press the heating member 3 in a direction intersecting the center axis of a hollow
portion 2a of an oxygen detection element 2. Holding means for holding the heating
member 3 is formed separately from the metallic terminal member 23. Thus, without
use of special heating-member holder means, the metallic terminal member 23 can
bring at least a portion of the heating member 3 into contact with the inner wall
surface of the hollow portion 2a of the oxygen detection element 2. Further, there is
no need for a jig for preliminarily attaching the heating member 3 to the metallic
terminal member 23, thereby reducing cost.

Abstract: A method for fabricating solder bumps on a
microelectronic device having contact pads includes the
steps of depositing a titanium barrier layer on the
device, forming an under bump metallurgy layer on the
titanium barrier layer, and forming one or more solder
bumps on the under bump metallurgy layer. The solder
bump or bumps define exposed portions of the under bump
metallurgy layer which are removed, and then the
exposed portion of the titanium barrier layer is
removed. The titanium barrier layer protects the
underlying microelectronic device from the etchants
used to remove the under bump metallurgy layer. The
titanium layer also prevents the under bump metallurgy
layer from forming a residue on the underlying
microelectronic device. Accordingly, the titanium
barrier layer allows the under bump metallurgy layer to
be quickly removed without leaving residual matter
thereby reducing the possibility of electrical shorts
between solder bumps.

workstation that receives multicast messages. An MDP server operations module

the MDP server operations module only transmits a negative acknowledgment to a
