IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1997-09-19
Abstract: A composite pitch pattern of an artificial waveform of a
composite sound indicating characters is produced according to
a general pitch pattern producing model, and a pitch pattern
of a VCV phoneme-chain waveform of each of VCV phoneme-chains
corresponding to the characters is produced from an actual
voice sample. Each VCV phoneme-chain composed of a preceding
vowel, a consonant and a succeeding vowel has a pitch fine
structure and a pitch fluctuation. Thereafter, an overall
inclination of the pitch pattern of each VCV phoneme-chain
waveform is adjusted to that of a portion of the composite
pitch pattern corresponding to the same VCV phoneme-chain to
overlap transitional portions of preceding and succeeding
vowels in a changed pitch pattern of each VCV phoneme-chain
waveform with those in the corresponding portion of the
composite pitch pattern. Therefore, when changed pitch
patterns of the VCV phoneme-chain waveforms are connected with
each other, a synthesized sound of the characters can be
obtained while the synthesized sound maintains a pitch fine
structure and a pitch fluctuation.

Abstract: The number of surface defects in semiconductor materials
having a volatile species, particularly group-III nitride-based
semiconductor devices, are reduced by first implanting species
atoms (11) into the semiconductor sample (12) to fill some of
the surface layer (18) species vacancies created by growth and
device fabrication processes, and then rapid thermal annealing
the sample (12) to repair broken bonds and crystalline defects
and to move implanted species atoms (11) from interstitial to
substitutional sites. An optional third step deposits a dummy
layer (20) on the sample surface (16) prior to implantation,
making possible an implantation profile that places a higher
density of species atoms in the surface layer (18) than is attainable
without the dummy layer (20) and to inhibit species
atoms (11) from leaving the sample (12) during high-temperature
processing steps that follow.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une diode à semi-conducteur émettrice de rayonnement ayant la structure de matériau InGaP/InAlGaP, avec une barrière (4A) pour les porteurs de charge située entre la couche active (2) et l'une des couches de revêtement (1, 3). Une telle diode possède une longueur d'ondes d'émission comprise entre 0,6 et 0,7 νm et elle est particulièrement indiquée, lorsqu'elle est construite comme laser à diode, pour servir de source de rayonnement notamment dans un système de lecture et/ou d'écriture de disques optiques, également en raison d'une efficacité accrue. L'un des désavantanges des diodes connues réside dans le fait qu'elles sont insuffisamment capables de fournir une puissance optique élevée et qu'elles ne peuvent pas être fabriquées avec un rendement élevé et une reproductibilité satisfaisante. Dans une diode de cette invention, la barrière (4A) comprend une seule couche barrière (4) de AlP. On a découvert qu'elle telle diode possède une efficacité étonamment élevée ainsi qu'une durée de vie particulièrement longue. L'efficacité de cette diode est approximativement 30 % supérieure à celle d'une diode comparable sans couche barrière (4). La durée de vie d'une diode de cette invention est très longue, par exemple 4000 heures. Etant donné que le problème de régulation de composition de la couche barrière (4) est non existant pour créer la couche de AlP, la diode de cette invention peut être fabriquée avec une bonne reproductibilité et un rendement élevé. La couche barrière de AlP (4) comporte de préférence une épaisseur inférieure à 5 nm, par exemple 2,5 nm. Il est très surprenant qu'une épaisseur si petite de la couche barrière (4) continue d'être accompagnée par une excellente efficacité en tant que barrière (4A).

Abstract: A non-destructive method and apparatus for determining the thickness of
individual layers of different materials in a multilayer structure particularly useful in
analyzing the layers in a multilayer plastic fuel tank, utilizes a constant and relatively
high frequency ultrasonic pulse transmitted into the multilayer structure and records the
time when interference pulses are received to determine the thickness of the individual
layers in the multilayer structure. The interference pulses are generated at the interface
between adjacent layers of sufficiently different materials and thus, the time between
interference pulses is a function of the amount of time needed for the ultrasonic pulse to
pass through a layer of material. The duration between reflected pulses is called the
transmission time which is the time for the ultrasonic frequency to originally pass through
the material and also the time for the reflected pulse to bounce back to the transducer and
is thus equal to twice the time needed for the ultrasonic pulse to pass through the layer.
Therefore, the thickness of a layer within a multilayer structure can be readily computed
as one-half of the transmission time multiplied by the speed of sound through the material
comprising that layer.
