Abstract: A graphics system comprises pixel calculation units and a sample buffer which stores a two-dimensional
field of samples. Each pixel calculation unit selects positions in the two-dimensional field at which
pixel values (e.g. red, green, blue) are computed. The pixel computation positions are selected to compensate
for image distortions introduced by a display device and/or display surface. Non-uniformities in a viewer's
perceived intensity distribution from a display surface (e.g. hot spots, overlap brightness) are corrected by
appropriately scaling pixel values prior to transmission to display devices. Two or more sets of pixel calculation
units driving two or more display devices adjust their respective pixel computation centers to align the edges of
two or more displayed images. Physical barriers prevent light spillage at the interface between any two of the
display images. Separate pixel computation positions may be used for distinct colors to compensate for color
distortions.

Abstract: Methods for transferring a useful layer of silicon carbide to a receiving substrate are described. In an embodiment, the invention relates to a method for recycling of a silicon carbide source substrate by removal of the excess zone followed by a finishing step to prepare the source substrate for recycling and reuse. Preferably, the excess zone is removed by a thermal budget where the temperature and time of such treatment causes exfoliation of the excess zone. The finishing step is performed in a manner to provide the desired surface roughness for the substrate so that it can be recycled for re-use. The technique includes implanting at least H<SUP>+</SUP> ions through a front face of a source substrate of silicon carbide with an implantation energy E greater than or equal to 95 keV and an implantation dose D chosen to form an optimal weakened zone near a mean implantation depth, the optimal weakened zone defining the useful layer and a remainder portion of the source substrate. The method also includes bonding the front face of the source substrate to a contact face of the receiving substrate, and detaching the useful layer from the remainder portion of the source substrate along the weakened zone while minimizing or avoiding forming an excess zone of silicon carbide material at the periphery of the useful layer that was not transferred to the receiving substrate during detachment.

IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: In the case of known switched-mode power supplies with integrated preconditioner, the control curves are largely congruent, but deviate from one another in low-load operation, whereby the unregulated intermediate circuit voltage increases. To improve efficiency in low-load operation, closed-loop control of the burst cycle is effected on the primary side of the voltage transformer. The intermediate circuit voltage (Uic) is limited to a permissible limit value (U limit). The closed-loop control device in the switching stage taps the intermediate circuit voltage at a voltage divider (R1, R2) which is arranged between the preconditioner functional unit (12) and the switching stage (13). An assembly additionally monitors the output voltage, for example by means of an optocoupler (17). Burst mode comprises one or more burst cycles. A burst cycle is started when the intermediate circuit voltage (Uic) reaches its limit value (U limit). At this time, the voltage transformer is switched off. A burst cycle ends when the output voltage (U0) reaches a minimum value (U min). At this time (t3) at the latest, the voltage transformer (7) is switched on again. Burst mode is terminated again either when the switched-mode power supply is again operated under normal load or when a maximum time has elapsed, measured from the start of burst mode.
