Abstract: A silicone gel composition comprising (A) a linear organopolysiloxane having a backbone consisting only of trifluoropropyl-substituted siloxane units and terminated with alkenyl group, (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, (C) a platinum catalyst, and (D) a finely powdered silica whose surfaces have been rendered hydrophobic by treatment with a silicon compound having only methyl groups as substituent groups, such as hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, trimethylalkoxysilane, dimethyldialkoxysilane, methyltrialkoxysilane and cyclic or linear dimethylpolysiloxanes. The composition had good thixotropy and can effectively provide a protective layer by spot potting. The silicone gel formed from the composition is excellent in solvent resistance, etc. and is effectively restrained from shrinkage or the like. Therefore the composition is highly suited to use as a protective material for semiconductor-type pressure sensors.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe, such as a catheter, includes an array of electroacoustic transducer elements (12, 16, 18; 32, 34; 48, 50; 68, 70; 86, 88, 90, 92) arranged about a central region, with each element having a radiating surface directed to define a first acoustic energy path having a component of direction that is toward the central region. That is, the elements are inwardly directed. Within the central region is an acoustic reflector (14; 40; 56; 78; 84) that reflects the acoustic energy along a second path (24, 26) to an object to be imaged. In another embodiment, the transducer elements are directed to project acoustic energy generally parallel to the axis of the ultrasonic probe, with the acoustic reflector providing reflection for defining an interrogation beam.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved method and apparatus for prediction coding with motion estimation, in which the frame-to-frame changes resulting from motion in an image depicted in a video frame are detected and coded for transmission to a video receiver. The motion estimation technique of the present invention uses a hierarchical approach in which a motion vector updating routine is performed with respect to multiple levels of smaller and smaller regions of a frame. The motion vector updating routine updates the motion vector of a smaller region by assigning to it a best motion vector selected from among an initial motion vector assigned to the smaller region, motion vectors of neighboring regions, and a matched motion vector obtained by performing a block matching technique for the smaller region. The best motion vector for each region is selected according to a priority scheme and a predetermined threshold value. Adjacent regions having the same motion vector are then merged together, and a region shape representation routine is used to specify contour pixels that will allow the merged regions to be recovered by a decoder. A contour coding routine is then used to encode the contour pixels for transmission to the decoder. The present method requires less information about the motion field to be sent to the decoder and results in an improved prediction error compared to the H.261 standard currently used. The present invention is particularly advantageous for very low bit-rate applications.

Abstract: In a process for manufacturing a semiconductor device, an N-well (1), a field oxide film (3), a gate oxide film (4) and a polysilicon gate electrode (5) are formed on a P-type silicon substrate (1). Arsenic is ion-implanted into the substrate using the polysilicon gate electrode (5) as a mask, to form N-type diffused source/drain regions (8). Boron fluoride is ion-implanted into the N-well using the polysilicon gate electrode (5) as a mask, to form P-type diffused source/drain regions (9). A titanium film (10) is deposited on the whole surface, and a first heat treatment is carried out at a first temperature to form a titanium silicide. A metal titanium remaining on the titanium silicide is removed so as to selectively form the titanium silicide on the polysilicon gate electrode (5), the N-type diffused source/drain regions (8) and the P-type diffused source/drain regions (9). A second heat treatment is carried out on the refractory metal silicide at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The above mentioned ion-implantation of the arsenic is so carried out that the "range" of the ion-implanted arsenic is deeper than the depth "t" by which the silicon substrate is consumed or expended by the silicide formation reaction, and the arsenic concentration at the depth "t" is less than 5 × 10 20  cm -3 .

Abstract: Television tuning systems and methods employing use of ghost cancellation and antenna directionality control to produce a ghost-free television signal. The invention employs use of a antenna whose directionality can be changed to change reception quality of a received television signal, and a baseband ghost cancellation unit which can perform baseband ghost cancellation. In a first embodiment of the invention, the directionality of the antenna is changed so that a television signal of sufficient reception quality is received from which a ghost-free television signal can be produced therefrom by the baseband ghost cancellation unit. A second embodiment of the invention further employs use of a tuner, and involves controlling the directionality of the antenna and the tuning frequency of the tuner so that a tuned television signal is produced which is properly tuned and of sufficient quality that a properly tuned ghost-free television signal can be produced therefrom by the baseband ghost cancellation unit. Both of the first and second embodiments can be used to obtain the antenna directionality setting and ghost cancellation coefficients which will produce a ghost-free television signal, and the tuning frequency setting which in combination with the antenna directionality setting and ghost cancellation coefficients will produce a properly tuned ghost-free television signal. A third embodiment of the invention further employs use of a storage device for storing the antenna directionality setting, (tuning frequency setting) and possibly, the ghost cancellation coefficients which enable production of a (properly tuned) ghost-free television signal.

Abstract: A temporary multimedia ELAN is formed on top of one or more existing ELANs between those end-stations (121-1, 121-2, 111-1) participating in a multimedia session, such as a video conference, at the time of initiating the session. At the end of the session the temporary ELAN is torn down. When the temporary ELAN is created an available LAN Emulation Server (LES) (241) and an available Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS) (243) are allocated to serve those end-stations participating in the multimedia session. The BUS also serves as a multicast server to multicast a multimedia stream from one end-station to each other end-station on the temporary ELAN. The initiator of a session accesses a Multimedia Session Manager (401), which oversees and manages the session and coordinates the necessary resources. An ELAN Configuration (402) serves to dynamically assign IP addresses to end-stations to ensure that each end-station on the temporary ELAN is on a single subnet, to receive the configuration attributes of each end-station that is to be connected on the temporary ELAN, to find an available LES and BUS to serve the temporary multimedia ELAN, and to coordinate establishment of the temporary ELAN between the end-stations. Once the temporary ELAN has been formed, a Conference Configurator (403) starts executing a multimedia application already existing on each end-station or sends the executables of the selected multimedia application in real time to each end-station. During the session the Multimedia Session Manager is used to add a new end-station, drop an end-station, and terminate the session.
