Abstract: A semiconductor device with a semiconductor body (1) whose surface (4) is provided with a barrier layer (8) of Ti x W 1-x , with 0,1 < x < 0,3. The barrier layer (8) is used, for example, between contact zones (3) of silicon or metal silicides provided in the semiconductor body (1) and conductor tracks (9) of aluminium provided on the surface (4) with the purpose of counteracting chemical reactions between silicon and aluminium. According to the invention, the barrier layer (8) is so deposited that in this layer the distance between the (100) lattice faces of tungsten is greater than 2,25 Å. It is achieved in this way that the barrier layer (8) has equally good or even better barrier properties as/than a Ti x W 1-x  layer which has been exposed to air for a few days. It is found that, if the barrier layer (8) is deposited by means of a sputter deposition process, the distance between the (100) lattice faces of W is determined by the voltage applied to the sputter target during deposition.

Abstract: In a CCD (charge-coupled device) device such as a one-dimensional CCD sensor or the like, a signal period during which a signal charge is read out in the intermittent mode can be extended. There is provided a CCD device in which a floating diffusion region is connected through an output gate section to the final stage of a horizontal transfer register of a CCD structure to which a transfer clock pulse is applied and in which a reset gate section is provided between the floating diffusion region and a reset drain region. When a signal charge is read out in the intermittent mode, a clock pulse (φ OG ) is applied to the output gate section to set a potential of the output gate section at low level so that a signal charge of a first pixel is accumulated in a transfer section of final stage. Then, a signal charge of a second pixel is transferred to the transfer section of the final stage by transfer clocks (φ H1 ), (<P H2 ), (φ HL ), whereby signal charges of two pixels are mixed within the transfer section of the final stage.

Abstract: A method is proposed for controlling/regulating the converter valves of two or more load-commutated parallel resonant circuit invertors, which are fed from the same DC current source or DC voltage source and are series-connected on the DC side, having in each case an induction oven (furnace) with a compensation capacitor, a current flow being set, by triggering in each case two diagonally opposite converter valves of an invertor, from the DC current source or the DC voltage source with a series-connected inductor via the parallel resonant circuit connected to said invertor. The load phase angles (ss) of the parallel resonant circuit invertors are set in such a manner that, on the one hand, any predetermined individual powers (P1, P2) of the parallel resonant circuits (5, 9) result, the maximum power which can be output by the DC current source or the DC voltage source being taken into account, and that, on the other hand, the predetermined ratio between the individual powers (P1, P2) of the parallel resonant circuits (5, 9) is obtained. An intervention in the control/regulation of the DC current source or the DC voltage source is made only when one of the load phase angles (ss) to be set reaches the minimum value (ssM) which is a result in particular of the valve off-times, for the purpose of reducing the DC current (Id) or the DC voltage (U), while in the case of load phase angles, to be set, above the minimum value (ssM) the DC current source or the DC voltage source is operated in a fully driven manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Signals from multiple signal paths are received using a multi-element antenna (20) and a beam-forming network (36). Signals from each of the antenna elements are sampled (34) to form a sample vector. Several sample vectors are used to form an auto-covariance matrix. A singular value decomposition of the auto-covariance matrix is used to form three matrices. The first matrix is used to determine the number of signal paths and the second matrix is used to form several polynomials. The polynomial roots that are on or near the unit circle are used to determine points on the unit circle that are associated with each signal path. Each point on the unit circle is used to calculate weights for a beam-forming network (36) that forms a receive beam for each signal path.

Abstract: A transmission power control method in CDMA, which is capable of increasing the capacity in terms of the number of subscribes by reducing transmission power by achieving highly accurate transmission power control during a soft handoff. A mobile station (PS1) determines its transmission power during the soft handoff by comparing a transmission power control bit from the old base station (BS1) with that from a new base station (BS2), and by selecting the transmission power control bit that indicates lower transmission power of the mobile station (PS1). In addition, the mobile station (PS1) determines the transmission power control bit for the base stations (BS1,BS2) by comparing the received SIR from the old base station (BS1) with that from the new base station (BS2), and by selecting the greater received SIR. This make it possible to reduce the transmission power, and increase the capacity in terms of the number of subscribers.

Abstract: A "component test" function is provided in a low-power, portable test instrument like a digital multimeter. A test stimulus waveform is synthesized digitally, and a digital trigger signal from the synthesizing circuitry is used to trigger acquisition of measurement data. A single-channel front end acquires voltage scan data over one cycle of the test stimulus waveform following the trigger point. Current scan data is later acquired through the same acquisition circuitry beginning at the same trigger point relative to the start of a later cycle of the stimulus waveform, so that the voltage and current scan data, although acquired separately, are very closely synchronized relative to the stimulus waveform, as a result of which they maintain their phase relationship. Stored voltage and current scan data are aligned accordingly and concurrently displayed so as to form a Lissajous pattern on a small display. The invention thus provides improved component test capability in a small, portable instrument, including graphic display of test results.

Abstract: A method of implementing pulse-width modulation in a display system (10, 20) that uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) (15). Each frame of data is divided into bit-planes, each bit-plane having one bit of data for each pixel of the SLM and representing a bit weight of the intensity value to be displayed by the pixels. Each bit-plane has a display time corresponding to a portion of the frame period, with bit-planes of more significant bits having longer portions. Then, the display times for one or more of the more significant bits are segmented so that the data for those bits can be displayed in segments rather than for a continuous time. (FIGURE 3A). The segments are distributed throughout the frame period to reduce visual artifacts. (FIGURE 3B).
