Patent EP-1421546-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NIKITIN ALEXEI V
IPC: H03H11/04

Abstract: Various components of the present invention are collectively designated as Analysis of Variables Through Analog Representation (AVATAR). It is a method, processes, and apparatus for measurement and analysis of variables of different type and origin. AVATAR offers an analog solution to those problems of the analysis of variables which are normally handled by digital means. The invention allows (a) the improved perception of the measurements through geometrical analogies, (b) effective solutions of the existing computational problems of the order statistic methods, and (c) extended applicability of these methods to analysis of variables. The invention employs transformation of discrete or continuous variables into normalized continuous scalar fields, that is, into objects with mathematical properties of density and/or cumulative distribution functions. In addition to dependence on the displacement coordinates (thresholds), these objects can also depend on other parameters, including spatial coordinates (e.g., if the incoming variables are themselves scalar or vector fields), and/or time (if the variables depend on time). Moreover, this transformation of the measured variables may be implemented with respect to any reference variable. Thus, the values of the reference variable provide a common unit, or standard, for measuring and comparison of variables of different natures, for assessment of mutual dependence of these variables, and for evaluation of changes in the variables and their dependence with time.The invention enables, on a consistent general basis, a variety of new techniques for analysis of variables, which can be implemented through various physical means in continuous action machines as well as through digital means or computer calculations. Several of the elements of these new techniques do have digital counterparts, such as some rank order techniques in digital signal and image processing. However, this invention significantly extends the scope and applicability of these techniques and enables their analog implementation. The invention also introduces a wide range of signal analysis tools which do not exist, and cannot be defined, in the digital domain. In addition, by the present invention, all existing techniques for statistical processing of data, and for studying probability fluxes, are made applicable to analysis of any variable.

Abstract: A ceramic part having a surface exposed to the interior space, the surface having been shaped and plasma conditioned to reduce particles thereon by contacting the shaped surface with a high intensity plasma. The ceramic part can be made by sintering or machining a chemically deposited material. During processing of semiconductor substrates, particle contamination can be minimized by the ceramic part as a result of the plasma conditioning treatment. The ceramic part can be made of various materials such as alumina, silicon dioxide, quartz, carbon, silicon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, boron nitride, boron carbide, aluminum nitride or titanium carbide. The ceramic part can be various parts of a vacuum processing chamber such as a liner within a sidewall of the processing chamber, a gas distribution plate supplying the process gas to the processing chamber, a baffle plate of a showerhead assembly, a wafer passage insert, a focus ring surrounding the substrate, an edge ring surrounding an electrode, a plasma screen and/or a window.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé permettant de produire des plaques minces par frittage d'une plaque de gélose mince (par exemple, de la silice) obtenue par un procédé sol-gel, et ainsi d'éliminer en grande partie le gauchissement de la plaque pendant le processus de frittage. L'agglomération par frittage d'une plaque de silice à base de sol-gel à un verre dense provoque généralement un rétrécissement important, ce qui peut entraîner le tuilage de la plaque, en particulier autour de ses arêtes. Ce phénomène est appelé gauchissement. Selon le procédé décrit dans cette invention, le frittage est effectué alors que la plaque de gélose est montée sur une surface de maintien, séparée par une couche mince de poudre réfractaire. A une température de frittage élevée, la poudre fond partiellement et colle à la fois à la plaque de gélose et à la surface de maintien, empêchant ainsi que les tensions inégales dans la plaque de gélose ne gauchissent la plaque.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un amplificateur de signal optique comprenant un amplificateur Raman à fibres et un amplificateur optique à semi-conducteur. L'amplificateur Raman à fibres utilise une partie du rayonnement de pompage pour amplifier le signal optique, ce qui produit un signal optique amplifié et un rayonnement de pompage résiduel. L'amplificateur optique à semi-conducteur reçoit le signal amplifié et le rayonnement de pompage résiduel, et utilise ce rayonnement pour augmenter une puissance de sortie à saturation dudit amplificateur optique à semi-conducteur tout en amplifiant le signal amplifié, ce qui produit un signal deux fois amplifié.

Abstract: An information playback apparatus is provided, which
displays the status of playback in a way more suitable to the
human sense as well as detects and then displays as new
information the feature characteristic of audio information
such as a music selection. The frequency of occurrence of
variations in amplitude of audio information to be played back
is measured at each predetermined frequency. The measured
frequency of occurrence is displayed in a predetermined area(9)
of a display unit(2) as the feature information of beat
densities with respect to the playback elapsed time of the audio
information to be played back. An index display unit(12) is
displayed in a substantially circular playback speed display
unit(11). The amount of audio information to be sequentially
played back corresponding to elapsed time is divided by a
predetermined value(K) to determine a remainder (α). The index
display unit(12) is displayed at an angular position
corresponding to the remainder(α), while being rotatably moved
along a virtual track, thereby displaying the status of

Abstract: Word sense ambiguity, for "thematic" words in a sentence, is achieved based on thematic
prediction. The senses of "thematic" words are disambiguated in a sentence by determining and
weighting possible themes for that sentence. Possible themes are determined for that sentence
based on thematic information associated with the different senses of each word in the sentence.
A highly deterministic thematic-based word sense disambiguation method is used to preprocess
the sentence prior to further syntactic and semantic analysis, thereby enhancing accuracy and
decreasing the demand for computational resources (memory and CPU) by reducing input
ambiguities.

Abstract: The displacement control valve 11, 11a for controlling a short time period of
compressor displacement comprises a differential pressure sensing section and a

controls an increased flow rate of refrigerant, and is integral to a shaft 32. The
pressure Pc from a pressure-regulating chamber is received at axial opposite ends of
a reduced-diameter portion of the shaft 32. The suction pressure Ps from a suction
chamber is received at axial opposite ends of the valve element 26 and the shaft 32,

element 26 is controlled only by the differential pressure between Pd and Pc as
sensed by the piston rod 23.

persistence in which an object, after it is presented, is saved at a decoder until a time
given by the expiration time stamp. Such an object can be used multiple times
before the expiration stamp runs out. A persistent object with an expired expiration
time stamp is no longer available at the decoder, however until the expiration time
stamp expires, the object is available for re-use. A persistence indicator (PI)

Abstract: Temperature of a heater (64) is controlled by switching
an increasing rate of a resistance value of a heating unit
(300) of the heater (64). During a period T1 from a time
point when heating of the heater (64) is started until the
resistance value of the heating unit (300) reaches a
reference value, the increasing rate is changed in multiple
heating stages. In this manner, temperature and the
resistance value of the heating unit (300) are increased.
During a period T2 from a time point when the resistance
value of the heating unit (300) reaches the reference value,
feedback control is performed such that the resistance value
is kept at the reference value as a target value.
