Title: Method of manufacturing salicide for embedded DRAM
Inventor: LIN YUNG-CHANG
IPC: H01L21/28
Filed: 1998-08-17
Granted: 2000-06-01
Abstract: A method for manufacturing salicide of embedded DRAM is disclosed, which first sequentially forms a thin oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer, and a thick oxide layer after applying an annealing process to the source/drain region. Then, by performing a planarization process and an etching process, the isolation layer on the source/drain region of the logic region elements, the gate region, and the gate of the memory region is removed. Afterwards, the salicide is formed on these three regions. Therefore, the resistance values of these three regions are decreased, and the operating speeds thereof are increased. Further, the memory region and source/drain region are prevented from having silicide formed thereon, so as to avoid capacitor leakage. In addition, this step can be performed after the annealing process to the source/drain region, such that the thermal stability problem and the inter diffusion of the polysilicon impurity in the gate oxide layer are not encountered.

Filed: 1998-10-20
Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: A system and method for performing computer processing operations in a data processing system includes a multithreaded processor and thread switch logic. The multithreaded processor is capable of switching between two or more threads of instructions which can be independently executed. Each thread has a corresponding state in a thread state register depending on its execution status. The thread switch logic contains a thread switch control register to store the conditions upon which a thread switch will occur. The thread switch logic has a time-out register which forces a thread switch when execution of the active thread in the multithreaded processor exceeds a programmable period of time. Thread switch logic also has a forward progress count register to prevent repetitive unproductive thread switching between threads in the multithreaded processor. Thread switch logic also is responsive to a software manager capable of changing the priority of the different threads thus superseding thread switch events.

Title: Improved drug delivery device
Inventor: GROSS JOSEPH
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 1999-03-23
Granted: 2001-03-21
Abstract: A drug delivery device (10) comprises a housing (11) containing a gas generator (28) controlled by electronic control means (27). The gas generator (28) is operable to generate a gas into a reciprocable chamber (25), whereby reciprocation of the chamber (25) causes a lever (19) to reciprocate a pawl (18), and this action causes a ratchet (17) to drive a piston (16) incrementally and thereby deliver small volumes of drug (13). In preferred embodiments, the pawl (18) has two pawl members (31, 32) which alternately drive the ratchet (17) forward, thereby decreasing the minimum deliverable volume for a given ratchet tooth tolerance. The reciprocating chamber (25) is, of very small relative volume and unlike continually expanding chambers, is independent of temperature and pressure effects in normal use, such that the drug delivery rate achieved is therefore constant. The device (10) may also be provided with manually actuable means for delivering a bolus dose of drug when necessary.

Granted: 2001-07-11
Abstract: This invention describes a method to reduce the contact resistance, which contains following steps. Firstly, a semiconductor substrate is provided and plural transistors are formed on the substrate. Then, a dielectric layer is formed on the substrate to be used as dielectric layer for interconnect layers. A photoresist layer is formed on the dielectric layer for defining the critical dimension and relative position of the contacts.

Title: Automatic clipping method for image
Inventor: JIAN MING-LUNG
IPC: H04N3/22
Filed: 1999-09-23
Granted: 2001-02-21
Abstract: The present invention uses the method of dynamically adjusting R, G, B thresholds to precisely separate the image with the background and providing the automatic clipping function for images. The method of the present invention employs the pixels of two border lines not at the edges of the manuscript to distinguish the separation lines between the manuscript and the background based on the average of R, G, B; then, using approximation method to calculate the resulted R, G, B thresholds with the last resulted R, G, B thresholds. When the differences between two times of R, G, B thresholds are smaller than a predetermined value, it means that it had approached the precise color levels so as to stop the approximation calculation and to store the last R, G, B thresholds used for judging the image pixels of the manuscript and the background border. After the pre-scan, it can distinguish the border between the manuscript and the background only according to the stored R, G, B thresholds to conduct the automatic clipping of images.
