Abstract: A technique for generating and displaying views of hierarchically clustered data
in a computer system. A binary tree is stored in memory of a computer system. The leaf
nodes represent data items and the interior nodes represent clusters of the data items and
a measure of dissimilarity between child clusters. The nodes of the tree are traversed and
a display area is recursively split until nodes having a certain level of dissimilarity are
reached, at which time a group rectangle is drawn around the current rectangle. Lower
level nodes continue to be processed so that all data items are displayed in the display
area. During the splitting of rectangles, the rectangles are split along the longest axis to
produce better dimensioned rectangles. Upon generating a new display at a different
level of dissimilarity, all data items are displayed in their same relative location, with
only the resulting groups changing.

IPC: H01L29/786
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: A process for fabricating a vertical MOSFET device for use in integrated
circuits is disclosed. In the process, at least three layers of material are formed
sequentially on a semiconductor substrate. The three layers are arranged such that the
second layer is interposed between the first and third layers (210, 220). The second
layer is sacrificial, that is, the layer is completely removed during subsequent
processing. The thickness of the second layer defines the physical gate length of the
vertical MOSFET. In the process the first and third layers have etch rates that are
significantly lower than the etch rate of the second layer in an etchant selected to
remove the second layer. After the at least three layers of material are formed on the
substrate, a window or trench is formed in the layers. The window terminates at the
surface of the silicon substrate (200) in which one of either a source or drain region
(205) is formed in the silicon substrate. The window or trench is then filled with a
semiconductor material (230). This semiconductor plug becomes the vertical channel of
the transistor. Therefore the crystalline semiconductor plug is doped to form a source
extension (232), a drain extension (233), and a channel region (260) in the plug.
Subsequent processing forms the other of a source or drain (235) on top of the vertical
channel and removes the sacrificial second material layer. The removal of the
sacrificial second layer exposes a portion of the doped semiconductor plug. The device
gate dielectric (250) is then formed on the exposed portion of the doped semiconductor
plug. The gate electrode (265) is then deposited. The physical gate length of the
resulting device corresponds to the deposited thickness of the second material layer.

Abstract: A power-retractable step assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a substantially sealed housing assembly, a pivoting structure including a step structure, a gear assembly, and a motor assembly. The step structure presents an upper load carrying surface, and the pivoting structure is mounted for pivotal movement about an axis. The gear assembly is disposed in the sealed housing assembly and coupled to the pivoting structure. The motor assembly is drivingly coupled with the gear assembly and is constructed and arranged to pivot the pivoting structure about the axis and thereby drive the pivoting structure between deployed and stored positions. The step structure is moved in an outboard vehicle direction when the pivoting structure is moved from the stored position to the deployed position, and is also moved in a fore-aft vehicle direction when the pivoting structure is moved between the stored and deployed positions. The axis is disposed at an angle such that, as the axis extends upwardly, i) the axis extends in the outboard vehicle direction and ii) the axis extends in a same fore-aft vehicle direction as the fore-aft direction that the step structure moves when the pivoting structure is moved from the stored position to the deployed position.

Abstract: A fast string indexing method efficiently stores, searches, and removes alphanumeric or binary strings utilizing a compacted search tree. The number of levels in the search tree is minimized by having a node represent more than one character when possible. Each inner node of the tree contains a hash table array for successive hashing, which also minimizes the time required to traverse a given node. Searches may be performed for partial matches, such as wild cards at the character level. Multiple indices may be opened independently and concurrently on the same table of string entries.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing and transferring frames of data in a computer link that maps incoming frames to a specific buffer ring in host memory (312) based on routing control and type fields in each frame. More particularly, a Fibre Channel link port (302) contains receiver routing code (RRCode) registers (400) that allow host software to set up routing control (R_CTL) match and mask fields, and TYPE match and mask fields. The link port uses these registers to match and mask against corresponding R_CTL/TYPE fields in a received frame to determine which of several R_CTL/TYPE host memory buffer rings should be used to store the received frame. The link port places a code (RRCode) in a start of frame (SOF) status word associated with a frame. The RRCode indicates a specific R_CTL/TYPE host memory buffer ring, or indicates that no match was found or that multiple matches were found. A protocol engine (306) reads the RRCode field in the SOF status word of the received frame, and queues a direct memory access (DMA) operation to an appropriate R_CTL/TYPE buffer ring. The host may then process the contents of the indicated buffer ring. Since the buffer rings are 'pre-sorted' as to frame type, the host may more efficiently respond to incoming frames.
