Patent EP-1117256-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ISHIGURO HIROSHI
IPC: H04N21/44
Filed: 2000-06-19
Abstract: An omnidirectional video apparatus that operates when
an image at an arbitrary view point is cut out from an
omnidirectional image for reproduction, to minimize the
amount of information transferred if all directions are
stored in another apparatus is provided. Only positional
information from an omnidirectional image position storage
means (3) is displayed on an image pickup position display
means (4) of a terminal device via a bidirectional
communication means (10). A view point position indicating
means (5) specifies a required view point position. An image
converting means (6) of a supply center extracts required
images from the omnidirectional image position storage means
(3) depending on the view point position indicated by the
view point position indicating means (5) and transmits the
images via the bidirectional communication means (10) to the
terminal device for display.

Inventor: NAYAR SHREE
IPC: H04N5/235
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A system for obtaining a relatively high dynamic range image of a scene is disclosed, using a relatively low dynamic range image sensor. An array of image sensors each has a preset sensitivity level in accordance with a predetermined sensitivity pattern for the array, and a respective response function, producing a captured image brightness value at a corresponding first pixel positions of a pixel position array in response to light from the scene.  A captured image memory stores captured image brightness for the pixels, and a first pixel position generator provides the pixel positions of the pixel position array. A sensitivity pattern memory stores data indicative of the sensitivity level corresponding to each one of the first pixel positions of the pixel position array.  A response function compensator receives pixel positions from the first pixel position generator, sensitivity level data and captured image brightness values, and being responsive to a pixel position received from the first pixel position generator compensates the captured image brightness value at the received pixel position by the inverse of the response function of a light-sensing element having the sensitivity level corresponding to the received pixel position to provide a compensated brightness value at the pixel position received from the first pixel position generator. A compensated on-grid brightness value memory stores respective compensated captured image values at the pixel positions received from the first pixel position generator and a second pixel position generator provides further pixel positions of the pixel position array. An on-grid brightness value generator derives an output image brightness value at each received pixel position from the compensated captured image brightness values and an output image memory stores the respective output image brightness value at each pixel position received from the second pixel position generator.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a gallium nitride-based semiconductor structure on a substrate includes the steps of forming a mask (14) having at least one opening (6) therein directly on the substrate (18), growing a buffer layer (12) through the opening, and growing a layer of gallium nitride (20) upwardly from the buffer layer and laterally across the mask. During growth of the gallium nitride from the mask, the vertical and horizontal growth rates of the gallium nitride layer are maintained at rates sufficient to prevent polycrystalline material (30) nucleating on said mask from interrupting the lateral growth of the gallium nitride layer. In an alternative embodiment, the method includes forming at least one raised portion (15) defining adjacent trenches (18) in the substrate and forming a mask (14) on the substrate (10), the mask having at least one opening (16) over the upper surface of the raised portion. A buffer layer (12) may be grown from the upper surface of the raised portion. The gallium nitride layer (26) is then grown laterally by pendeoepitaxy over the trenches.

Title: Dispositif et procede de polissage de plaquettes a semi-conducteurs

Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de polissage de plaquettes à semi-conducteurs, composé d'une base (23), d'un plateau rotatif (27), d'un tampon de polissage (29), et d'un mécanisme d'entraînement (45) destiné à imprimer un mouvement rotatif à une tête de polissage (63). Cette tête de polissage peut maintenir au moins une plaquette (35) de manière qu'une surface frontale de la plaquette entre en contact avec une surface de travail du tampon de polissage. Un ensemble palier sphérique (75) fixe la tête de polissage (63) sur le mécanisme d'entraînement pour le pivotement de la tête de polissage autour d'un point de cardan (p), ledit point de cardan n'étant pas plus haut que la surface de travail lorsque la tête de polissage maintient la plaquette en contact avec le tampon de polissage. Ce pivotement permet l'alignement continu du plan de la surface frontale de la plaquette de manière à équilibrer la pression s'exerçant sur la surface frontale de la plaquette, tandis que la rotation de la tête de polissage est créée par le mécanisme d'entraînement. Ainsi, la surface frontale et la surface de travail sont constamment maintenues en parallèle pour un polissage plus uniforme d'une plaquette à semi-conducteurs, en particulier à proximité de l'arête latérale de la plaquette. L'invention concerne également une cassette de plaquettes et un procédé de polissage.
