Abstract: The process for predictively revealing crystal defects exist in a latent state in a bulk silicon substrate, comprises a revealing heat treatment of bulk substrates conducted in a non-reducing atmosphere at 950[deg]C for 6 hours. The substrates become apparent only after subsequent processing. The step of revealing heat treatment is carried out inside an enclosure for 3 minutes in which a gas mixture comprising 10 ppm of oxygen with respect to a total volume of gas mixture present in the enclosure and argon and/or nitrogen. The process for predictively revealing crystal defects exist in a latent state in a bulk silicon substrate, comprises a revealing heat treatment of bulk substrates conducted in a non-reducing atmosphere at 950[deg]C for 6 hours. The substrates become apparent only after subsequent processing. The step of revealing heat treatment is carried out inside an enclosure for 3 minutes in which a gas mixture comprising 10 ppm of oxygen with respect to a total volume of gas mixture present in the enclosure and argon and/or nitrogen. The step of revealing heat treatment is carried out before a dry oxidation stage, followed by a deoxidation stage of the bulk substrate to completely eliminate the formed oxide layer in which the deoxidation is carried out by a treatment with hydrofluric acid. The step of revealing heat treatment comprises a dry and/or wet thermal oxidation of the substrate carried out in an atmosphere containing oxygen, optionally argon and/or nitrogen in which oxidation is followed by the deoxidation stage to completely eliminate the formed oxide layer. The wet oxidation of the bulk substrate is carried out at 500-1300[deg]C for 3 minutes to 10 hours to form a silicon oxide layer of a thickness of 500-900 nm. The dry oxidation of the bulk substrate is carried out at 950[deg]C for 5 minutes to form a silicon oxide layer of a thickness of about 10 nm. After the step of revealing of crystal defect and the stage of deoxidation, carrying out an additional stage of enlargement of the defects revealed by the heat treatment of revelation. The stage of enlargement of the crystalline defects comprises a rapid heat treatment at 100-1300[deg]C for few seconds to few minutes. The rapid heat treatment is rapid thermal annealing, which is carried out in presence of argon and/or hydrogen, and is rapid thermal oxidation, which is carried out in presence of oxygen. The rapid thermal annealing for enlarging crystalline defects can be performed in a batch annealing furnace, which is carried out under an atmosphere of neutral gas and/or hydrogen at 1100-1250[deg]C for few minutes to few hours. After the stage of crystalline defect enlargements, a silicon deposition step deposits a silicon layer of few micrometers thick on the bulk substrate by epitaxial growth to enhance the revealing of crystal defects. Independent claims are included for: (1) a process of measuring a density of crystalline defects; (2) a bulk silicon substrate; and (3) a process of manufacturing a bulk silicon substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides an effective way to create a virtual MIMO transmission system using mobile terminals that have only one transmit path and antenna. This is accomplished by assigning mobile terminals to a group and assigning certain shared resources and user-specific resources to those mobile terminals in the group. In a synchronized fashion, the mobile terminals will provide uplink transmission in concert, as if they were a single entity having multiple transmission paths and antennas. Preferably, the shared resources bear on how the data is transmitted, and the user-specific resources relate to pilot signals. The data transmitted may be encoded in any number of ways, and in one embodiment, the mobile terminals may relay their information to each other, such that uplink transmissions can incorporate STTD decoding or other space-time codes. The invention is applicable to virtually any multiple access technology, including OFDM, TDMA, and CDMA, preferably synchronous CDMA.

Abstract: In a travel angle detection system for a mobile object having a detector installed in the mobile object to produce angular velocity outputs successively, the detector outputs are read and one output is determined as a provisional calibration value indicative of zero-point (S100). Integrated values of differences between the calibration value and successive outputs and output variation width are calculated (S102-S112). When they are within predetermined permissible ranges, the mobile object is determined to be in static condition and the calibration value is corrected by an average value of the integrated values (S112-S126). The travel angle of the mobile object is detected from the calibrated outputs of the detector, thereby achieving accurate calibration of detector output by enabling accurate determination of the static condition.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (10) coupled to a wave antenna (17) that provides greater increased durability and impedance matching. The wave antenna (17) is a conductor that is bent, relatively sharply or in a curved fashion, in alternating sections to form peaks and valleys. The wireless communication device (10) is coupled to the wave antenna (17) to provide wireless communication with other communication devices, such as an interrogation reader (20). The wireless communication device (10) and wave antenna (17) may be placed on objects, goods, or other articles (50) of manufacture that are subject to forces such that the wave antenna (17) may be stretched or compressed during the manufacture and/or use of such object, good or article (50) of manufacture. The wave antenna (17), because of its bent structure, is capable of stretching and compressing more easily than other structures, reducing the wireless communication device's susceptibility to damage or breaks that might render the wireless communication device (10) coupled to the wave antenna unable to properly communicate information wirelessly.

Abstract: This invention relates to a supersonic center-feed nozzle system within the feed-inlet tube of a fluid-energy mill used for grinding particulate material such as titanium dioxide. Particularly, in the feed-inlet tube of the present invention, particulate material is introduced into the supersonic feed jet of primary grinding fluid in almost a perpendicular fashion, with the supersonic nozzle installed in the center of the particulate material core, imparting momentum to the particulate material. The momentum entrains the particulate into the main grinding chamber of the feed-inlet tube. In the main grinding chamber of the feed-inlet tube, a secondary stream of grinding fluid, introduced annularly, constricts the primary jet's divergent flow, enabling a higher turbulent mixing of the grinding fluids and the particulate material.

Abstract: A bicycle or moped lighting system projects light onto a rider's moving legs to make the rider more visible to motor vehicle operators and thereby improve the rider's safety. A single safety light fixture is mounted below the bicycle seat and directs diverging light beams towards the backs of both of the rider's legs. While peddling, the motion of the lighted legs attracts the attention of the motor vehicle operators thereby improving rider visibility. A second light fixture may reside ahead of the rider to direct diverging light beams onto the fronts of the rider's moving legs.
