Title: Single-cycle, soft decision, compare-select operation using dual-add processor
Inventor: SIMANAPALLI SIVANAND
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1998-11-17
Granted: 2000-06-11
Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method of generating a soft symbol confidence level for use in decoding a received digital signal includes calculating a difference between two potential next state accumulated costs to provide a soft symbol confidence level.  Simultaneously with calculating the difference between two potential next state accumulated costs, performing a compare-select operation to identify one of the two potential next state accumulated costs as an extremum of the two present state accumulated costs.  The invention also teaches a circuit for generating a soft symbol confidence level such as in a decoder.  The circuit includes first and second adders for receiving first and second potential next state accumulated costs.  Simultaneously the potential next state accumulated costs are compared in one of the adders while the difference is taken in the other adder as a soft symbol confidence level.  A selector selects one of the first and second potential next state accumulated costs as an extremum based on a flag set by one of the adders.  The circuit may also provide a register in which to store one or more traceback bits, and a shift register for packing multiple traceback bits into a register or word.

Title: Method to increase the uniformity of chemical mechanical polishing by using electrolytic conductor layer
Inventor: CHEN SHIUE-JUNG
IPC: H01L21/304
Filed: 1999-03-19
Granted: 2002-11-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to increase the uniformity of chemical mechanical polishing by using electrolytic conductor layer. The feature of the present invention is to process the conductor layer by electrolytic process when a conductor layer is formed, so as to reduce the thickness of the conductor layer and to eliminate the unevenness on the surface of the conductor layer, and then polish the surface of the conductor layer by using the chemical mechanical polishing process. Since the electrolytic process can efficiently reduce the thickness of conductor layer, the processing time required by the chemical mechanical polishing is reduced. Meanwhile, since the charges will be concentrated on the protruded portion of the conductor surface, the electrolytic rate of the protruded portion is faster than that of the concave portion, so that the unevenness of the conductor surface will be improved. In addition, if the conductor layer is formed by using electrolytic method, the efficiency of the present invention can be further improved.

Title: Apparatus for flat-bed scanner imaging system transport
Inventor: CRAIG SAMUEL F
IPC: G03G15/04
Filed: 1999-07-22
Granted: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The compact design of a CIS device is exploited, resulting in a more compact scanning mechanism and in lighter and smaller scanning devices. The CIS is incorporated into a drive belt attached to the length of the CIS. The CIS is forced to traverse the document by a drive mechanism that pulls the entire belt and CIS across the document while maintaining the tension necessary to keep the document in the narrow depth of focus. This mechanism provides a uniform force on the CIS, reducing the possibility of yawing motion, and keeps the document in focus through the tension on the drive belt. The combined CIS and transport mechanism power requirements can be supplied by standard computer interfaces, requiring no additional power supplies. This new mechanism also hides the internal workings of the scanner behind a drive belt that is the size of the platen window. The drive belt can either be printed to present the operator with instructions or markings to indicate document placement or with other information, or the drive belt can be left blank to present the operator with a cleaner and less cluttered scanning device.

Title: Active undershoot hardened fet switch
Inventor: GOODELL TRENOR F
IPC: H03K17/06
Filed: 2000-05-31
Granted: 2001-09-01
Abstract: A bus switch for transferring logic signals between nodes without the problems associated with undershoot conduction. The bus switch is an FET switch including a single primary transfer transistor. The bulk of the transfer transistor is coupled to a differential logic sense circuit that is designed to establish a pseudo low-potential power rail. The logic sense circuit is coupled to the two transfer nodes and a standard low-potential power rail. It compares the potentials associated with the transfer node signals and the low-potential rail and selects the one with the lowest potential to establish the potential of the pseudo low-potential rail. The logic sense circuit provides for active selection of the lowest potential element, including under very small undershoot conditions. The logic sense circuit may be established in a variety of ways, preferably by including a differential comparator pair, one of associated with one of the two transfer nodes and the other differential comparator associated with the other transfer node. Outputs of the differential pair control logic drivers that in turn regulate the transfer node, or standard low-potential rail to be coupled to the pseudo low-potential power rail. This arrangement ensures that there will be no parasitic conduction of the transfer transistor during undershoot conditions.

Granted: 2002-06-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a system (300) for determining the ephemeris and attitude for a spacecraft based on crosslink sensor pointing directions and the ephemeris of other satellites. An ephemeris determining subsystem (700) obtains ephemeris data (708) for one or more reference spacecraft crosslinked to the spacecraft. Crosslink sensor pointing information (706) is obtained for the crosslink sensors. The satellite ephemeris (712) is then calculated with ephemeris determination algorithms (702) based on the ephemeris data (708) and crosslink sensor pointing information (706). Other available information, such as stored results of previous measurements and calculations, time (710), spacecraft attitude (704), information from non-crosslink sensors and ranging information may be used to enhance the accuracy or decrease the complexity of the ephemeris calculations. In addition to ephemeris determination, the present invention also provides an attitude determining subsystem (800) for the determination of spacecraft attitude (810). Ephemeris data for crosslinked spacecraft (806) and sensor pointing information (802) is obtained. The satellite attitude is then calculated by attitude determination algorithms (804) based on the ephemeris of crosslinked spacecraft (806) and the crosslink sensor pointing information (802). Other available information, such as stored results of previous measurements and calculations, time (808), information from non-crosslink sensors, and ranging information may be used to enhance the accuracy or decrease the complexity of the attitude calculations.
