Abstract: A process for fabricating a crown-cell capacitor in a
memory integrated circuit. The process includes the step of
forming a transistor having a contact region 353 at a surface of
a semiconductor substrate 300. The transistor, with the
exception of the contact region, is covered with a first
material 362, 366 and the first material and the contact region
are then covered with a layer of a second material 370. The
portion of the second layer covering the contact region is
removed to expose the contact region so that the removal of the
portions of the second layer forms a cavity characterized by a
bottom formed of the first material and sides formed of the
second material. Further steps in the process include forming a
first conductive layer 372 in the cavity to contact the contact
region and conform to the bottom and sides, forming a dielectric
layer 376 over the first conductive layer, and forming a second
conductive layer 378 over the dielectric layer.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for controlling fuel
injection in an internal combustion engine. An EGR passage
(52) is connected to an intake duct (20) for supplying exhaust
gas, which has been discharged from a combustion chamber (5),
to the intake duct (20). An EGR valve (53) is located in the
EGR passage (52) to adjust the flow rate of the exhaust gas
supplied to the intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52).
An acceleration pedal (24) adjusts the flow rate of the air
supplied to the combustion chamber (5). An ECU (30) computes
the amount of fuel to be injected from a fuel injection valve
(11) based on the depression degree of the acceleration pedal
(24) and the engine speed when the exhaust gas is supplied to
the intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52). The ECU (30)
computes the amount of fuel to be injected from the fuel
injection valve (11) based on the intake pressure and the
engine speed when the exhaust gas is not supplied to the
intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52). The ECU (30)
controls the fuel injection valve (11) based on the computed
fuel injection amount. This prevents intake air fluctuations
caused by exhaust gas recirculation from affecting the
computed fuel injection amount.

Abstract: The invention aims at enabling unspecified users to set a desired
function easily without mistakes when the users input the control information
for operating television sets, VTRs, and other audiovisual apparatus, especially
the recording control information. A record (REC) key 1 and an optical
remote control signal receiving section 2A are connected to an input circuit 3.
The input circuit 3 is connected through a control circuit 4 to a display circuit
5 and a recording circuit 6. The optical remote control signal receiving
section 2A receives an optical signal from a remote controller 2B and outputs
a record command signal to the input circuit 3. When setting a recording
period, the user familiar with the operating procedure presses the REC key 1
several times. The user unfamiliar with the setting of recording presses the
operation guide key on the remote controller 2B. When this is done, a
command is transferred to the optical control signal receiving section 2A and
input through the input circuit 3 to the control circuit 4 as an operation guide
command. The display circuit 5 displays the main menu screen.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for actively controlling the DC
cathode potential of a wafer support pedestal within a
semiconductor wafer processing system. The apparatus
contains a variable DC power supply (128) coupled through an RF
filter (130) to a cathode pedestal (108). The variable DC power supply (128)
is actively controlled by a control signal generated by a
cathode bias control unit (126), e.g., a computer or other control
circuitry or an operator adjustable control signal, e.g., a rheostat.
However, for more accurate control of the DC power supply (128), a
feedback circuit is used that generates a control signal that
is proportional to the peak-to-peak voltage on a cathode
pedestal (108). The application of the DC bias to the pedestal
reduces the DC potential difference between the wafer (114) and the
cathode (108) and, thereby avoids arcing from the wafer to the
pedestal.

Abstract: A sheet feed sensor (116) is designed to have a first given voltage response condition for
sensing sheets within a first range of paper weight values and a second given voltage response
condition for sensing sheets within a second range of paper weight values. A current value supplied
to the emitter (118) of the sensor (116) can be controlled to provide the desired voltage response or
a resistance in a phototransistor collector circuit can be varied to provide the desired voltage
response condition. If the first range of paper weight values is lighter than the second range of
paper weight values, the sensor (116), when in the first given voltage response condition, will have
a voltage response, when sensing a sheet of a given paper weight, which is higher than the voltage
response when the same sensor senses a sheet of the same paper weight, when the sensor (116)
is in the second given voltage response condition. This way the difference between a voltage
response at the phototransistor for a single sheet and a voltage response for two sheets, each of the
same paper weight as the single sheet, fed through the sensor is large enough throughout all paper
weight ranges to obviate the possibility of voltage response overlap.

Abstract: Disclosed is a printer having a set of permanent or semi-permanent inkjet
printhead units (pens) (28-34) and a remote ink supply (20-26) connected to the pens by means of
trailing tubes (44). A precision latching mechanism is provided to precisely position the
pens in their respective stalls (76-82). The fluid interconnect device for the pens is designed
so that it does not counteract the precision alignment provided by the pen and carriage
datums. The carriage has a valve member (132-138) with a septum (148), and the valve is connected
to the carriage in such a way that it can rock and otherwise move a preselected limited
amount with respect to the carriage. The pens each have a needle (54) designed to pierce
the septum. The needle is located inside a shroud (56) connected to the pen by a neck
member (58). As the pen is inserted into the carriage, the neck member fits within a notch (100)
in the carriage. The engagement of the neck member in the notch positions the shroud (56)
over the valve. As the pen is further inserted into the carriage, the shroud contacts the
valve to thereby position the septum below the needle. As the pen is further inserted,
the needle pierces the septum to fluidically connect the pen to the ink supply in the
printer. A latching mechanism firmly locks the pens into the carriage so that the pen
datums are positioned against the carriage datums to precisely locate the pens in their
stalls.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop circuit is disclosed. The phase-locked
loop circuit includes a fundamental/quadrature phase comparator
circuit (12) that compares an input bitstream (IN) to fundamental
and quadrature phases of an output clock signal (CLK, CLKQ), to
generate logic signals (I1, I2) corresponding to the state of the
output clock signal phases at the time of each transition of the
input bitstream. Compare logic (44) in the
fundamental/quadrature phase comparator circuit (12) generates
anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals to a state machine
(14), in response to the logic signals (I1, I2) varying from a
prior state (X1, X2) in opposing directions in a sequence; the
sequence and directions are indicative of the polarity of the
error frequency between the input bitstream and the output clock
signal. Beginning with the first comparison and in response to
the anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals, the state
machine (14) issues a high gain charge or discharge signal (UPC,
DNC) to a charge pump filter (20), to raise or lower the voltage
(V n ) at a capacitor (25) and thus increase or decrease the
oscillation frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (30)
that generates the output clock signal (CLK). This charge or
discharge operation continues until the opposite one of the
anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals is produced by the
compare logic (44), at which time the state machine begins
issuing lower gain discharge or charge signals (DND, UPD) to
correct the output clock frequency in the opposite direction, in
a fine correction manner
