IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: A method of depositing an image on a receiving surface (26) utilizing two scans of a
print head (70) is provided. Each scan deposits a portion of the image, and the two
scans are separated by a non-deposition skip move. The two image portions are joined
at a seam to create a composite image. By utilizing identical print head motions along
the x-axis direction for all images, this method allows for accurate and repeatable
image-half alignment regardless of image width, length or position on the receiving
surface.

Abstract: A method of processing a polysilicon film formed on a single-crystal silicon substrate which can remove the polysilicon film with good selectivity in a fabrication process of semiconductor devices. First, a polysilicon film having an N-portion to be removed is formed on a single-crystal silicon substrate and then, the portion is selectively removed by the reactive ion etching using a Cl 2  gas or mixed gases including a Cl 2  gas. Preferably, N-impurity doping into the polysilicon film is performed by P or As ion-implantation with a dose of 1 x 10 15  cm -2  or more. A Cl 2  gas, mixed gases of Cl 2  and BCl 3 , mixed gases of Cl 2  and HBr, mixed gases of Cl 2  and BBr 3 , and mixed gases of Cl 2  and SiCl 4  are preferably used.

Abstract: Stackable modules using infrared (IR) radiation for communication. Each module includes a housing with upper and lower holes and IR transceivers aligned with the holes. One of the two IR transceivers or transceiver sets detects IR communications through a lower hole and transmits through an upper hole, and the other detects IR communications through an upper hole and transmits through a lower hole. In this manner, the stackable module uses IR radiation to communicate with similar modules both above and below the module. The module further includes communication logic coupled to the transceivers to control communications between the transceivers of different modules. The module preferably includes a network device operating according to any desired network protocol. A stack network system includes a chassis with several slots, where one or more stackable modules are removably plugged into the slots of the chassis.

constellations. In one aspect of the invention, constellation-switching is
employed within frames of  A  symbols, where A is not a power of two. In
another aspect, constellation switching is used to facilitate frame
synchronisation. Trellis shaping (where redundancy is introduced and
selection of constellation "regions" performed (206) over a number of
symbols so as to minimise transmitted power) is employed; switching (205,
209) is provided so that power information (from stores (207, 208)) is
