Title: Processor with free running clock with momentary synchronization to subsystem clock during data transfers
Inventor: GENDUSO THOMAS BASILIO
IPC: H03K3/03
Filed: 1998-02-21
Granted: 2000-01-01
Abstract: A processor clock (302) is momentarily synchronized to a subsystem clock (307) during transfers of data between a processor (301) and a subsystem (305). After the completion of the data transfer, synchronization is disabled and the processor clock runs asynchronously at its own internal frequency, which is higher than the subsystem clock frequency. In one embodiment, the processor clock uses a free running ring oscillator (401) that is constructed on the same integrated circuit chip as the processor. Changes in temperature and power supply voltage not only cause changes in the maximum operating speed of the processor, but they also cause corresponding changes in the frequency of the processor clock. Thus, the frequency of the processor clock tracks changes in the maximum operating speed of the processor caused by temperature and power supply variations.

Title: An optical disk apparatus
Inventor: WATANABE KATSUYA
IPC: G11B19/12
Filed: 1998-05-28
Granted: 2000-05-01
Abstract: An optical disk apparatus for reproducing information from plural types of information carriers or for recording information to plural types of information carriers, has two or more light sources with different wavelengths, a converging part for converging a light beam emitted from each of the light sources on said information carrier, a movement part for moving the converged spot of the light beam converged by the converging part in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the information carrier, a convergence condition detection part for outputting a signal corresponding to the convergence condition of the light beam on the information carrier, an amplitude detection part for measuring the amlitude of the signal of the convergence condition detection part, and a focus control part for driving the movement part in accordance with the output signal of the convergence condition detection part and for performing control so that the convergence condition of the light beam on the information carrier becomes substantially constant, wherein at the start or restart of the apparatus, before the focus control part is driven, when one of the light sources with a predetermined wavelength is turned on, and when the movement part is driven to move the converging part close to and then away from the information carrier or away from and then close to the information carrier, the apparatus makes distinction to determine the type of the loaded information carrier on the basis of a signal from the amplitude detection part; if the light source with the predetermined wavelength is not compatible with the type of the loaded information carrier having been subjected to the distinction, another light source with a different wavelength is turned on, and the apparatus eventually finds a light source compatible with the type of the loaded information carrier and then drives the focus control part.

Title: A method for cleansing wafers
Inventor: CHEN WENG-YI
IPC: B08B3/04
Filed: 1998-06-03
Granted: 2000-06-11
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for cleansing wafers, and, more specifically, to a method in the vaporing and drying bays processes. The drying process contains two steps: the first drying step is performed at the above vaporing and drying bays, the second step, however, is performed at the loading/unloading device. Although the duration for the whole drying process may be the same as or even longer than the known method, the new process is capable of reducing the time the wafers need to stay in the vaporing and drying bays, so that the wafers transported from the third cleaning tank after the cleansing process is finished will be handled in an effective way and time spent in waiting for the vaporing and drying bays will be reduced.

Title: A ported speaker enclosure of a portable computer
Inventor: MARKOW MITCHELL A
IPC: H04R5/02
Filed: 1998-06-18
Granted: 2000-01-21
Abstract: A port is formed in a speaker enclosure for a loudspeaker of a portable computer. The port is tuned to a certain specified low frequency such that the port, instead of the loudspeaker cone, provides acoustic output at and below the certain low frequency for a selected bandwidth of low frequencies. By using a port as an acoustic radiator for the selected low frequency bandwidth, the excursion of the loudspeaker is limited, reducing the likelihood of mechanical damage to the loudspeaker. Further, an electrical input signal to the speaker may be filtered to control loudspeaker excursions below a particular low frequency, further reducing the likelihood of mechanical damage to the loudspeaker.

Title: Dynamically determining group of picture size during encoding of video sequence
Inventor: WESTERMANN EDWARD F
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 1998-07-09
Granted: 1999-12-11
Abstract: Method, system and computer program product are provided for dynamically determining group of picture (GOP) size as a function of picture change activity within a sequence of video frames. Image statistics on one or more intraframe characteristics on one or more intraframe characteristics of the sequence of video frames is compared to a preset threshold for deciding whether to continue within an existing GOP or to begin a new GOP. A frame of the sequence of video frames is intra-coded, and each of a variable number of subsequent frames is bi-directionally predictive-coded (B). Each B frame subsequent to the I frame is encoded employing forward predictive-coded (B). Each B frame subsequent to the I frame is encoded employing forward prediction motion estimation only from the I frame. When a predefined picture degradation occurs, a new GOP is initiated. One example of an intraframe characteristic to be monitored is the number of intro-coded macroblocks within each B coded frame. This number is compared against a threshold number, which may be a percentage of the total number of macroblocks within the frame. A method for encoding a sequence of video frames, said method comprising: (a) encoding the sequence of video frames to produce an encoded bitstream; and (b) during said encoding (a), dynamically determining as a function of activity within the sequence of video frames a group of picture (GOP) length for at least one GOP of the encoded bitstream.
Patent TW-525285-B (TW)
Title: A tailored barrier layer which provides improved copper interconnect electromigration resistance
Inventor: DING PEIJUN
IPC: H01L21/3205
Filed: 1998-09-30
Granted: 2003-03-21
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a barrier layer structure useful in forming copper interconnects and electrical contacts of semiconductor devices. The barrier layer structure comprises a first layer of TaNx which is applied directly over the substrate, followed by a second layer of Ta. The TaNx/Ta barrier layer structure provides both a barrier to the diffusion of a copper layer deposited thereover, and enables the formation of a copper layer having a high {111} crystallographic content so that the electromigration resistance of the copper is increased. The TaNx layer, where x ranges from about 0.1 to about 1.5, is sufficiently amorphous to prevent the diffusion of copper into the underlying substrate, which is typically silicon or a dielectric such as silicon dioxide. The thickness of the TaNx and Ta layers used for an interconnect depend on the feature size and aspect ratio; typically, the TaNx layer thickness ranges from about 50 Å to about 1,000 Å, while the Ta layer thickness ranges from about 20 Å to about 500 Å. For a contact via, the permissible layer thickness on the via walls must be even more carefully controlled based on feature size and aspect ratio; typically, the TaNx layer thickness ranges from about 10 Å to about 300 Å, while the Ta layer thickness ranges from about 5 Å to about 300 Å. The copper layer is deposited at the thickness desired to suit the needs of the device. The copper layer may be deposited using any of the preferred techniques known in the art. Preferably, the entire copper layer, or at least a ""seed"" layer of copper, is deposited using physical vapor deposition techniques such as sputtering or evaporation, as opposed to CVD or electroplating. Since the crystal orientation of the copper is sensitive to deposition temperature, and since the copper may tend to dewet/delaminate from the barrier layer if the temperature is too high, it is important that the copper be deposited and/or annealed at a temperature of less than about 500 DEG C, and preferably at a temperature of less than about 300 DEG C.
