Abstract: A system for locating data while a tape is moving forward or backward.
The system includes a backward header (86) comprising data configured for
recording on tape (10) so that the data can be read when the tape (10) is
moving backward. The system may also include a controller (28) configured to
record and read the backward header (86). A memory device (44, 45 or 26)
stores instructions that when executed cause a head (20) to read header
information on the tape (10) when the tape (10) is moving backward. A
memory device (44, 45 or 26) stores instructions that when executed cause the
head (20) to record header information on the tape (10) so that the header
information is readable when the tape (10) is moving backward. A memory
device (44, 45 or 26) stores instructions that when executed cause a head (20)
to record a forward header (82) on a first data track of the tape (10) and a
backward header (86) on a second data track. The forward header (82) is
readable when the tape (10) is moving forward (for that track) and the backward
header (86) is readable when the tape (10) is moving backward (for that track).
The memory device (44, 45 or 26) through which the invention is implemented
may be, for example, circuitry in the tape drive controller (28), in an application
specific integrated circuit, in the controller (28) system software or in the host
computer (26) software.

Abstract: Enhanced Internet service is provided over an ISDN line by eliminating from
the D-channel any packets that will introduce unacceptable delay in packets
transmitted over the B-channel. The enhancement is achieved by segregating the
packets between the B-channels and the D-channel based on the stream to which the
packets belong. Furthermore, instead of bonding together both B-channels and the
D-channel, only the B-channels may be bonded to each other, while the D-channel is
kept independent. To do so, instead of using MLPPP over the combination of both
B-channels and the D-channel, as in the prior art, MLPPP is used over only both
B-channels, while data that is separately directed to the D-channel employs another
protocol, e.g., PPP. Advantageously, the number of protocols used to transmit the
information over the D-channel may be reduced, resulting in a higher bandwidth for
applications.

Abstract: Pre heat-treatment processing of a silicon wafer to grow a hydrophilic oxide layer includes an initial step of contacting the wafer with a pre-clean SC-1 bath, thereby producing a silicon wafer surface that is highly particle free. After a deionized water rinse, the wafer is scoured with an aqueous solution containing hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid to remove metallic-containing oxide from the wafer surface. In order to grow a hydrophilic oxide layer, an SC-2 bath (containing hydrogen peroxide and a dilute concentration of metal-scouring HCl) is used. The resulting hydrophilic silicon oxide layer grown on the surface of the silicon wafer using the combined SC-1 -> HF/HCL -> SC-2 wafer cleaning process has a metal concentration no greater than 1x10 9 . The diffusion length of minority carriers is increased from a range on the order of 500 - 600 microns to a range on the order of 800 - 900 microns.

Abstract: The coding mode determining section, when receiving the
information as to occurrence of a scene change from the scene
change detector, outputs a piece of mode control information
to the coding controller. The coding controller, based on
the amount of coding in the coder and the mode control
information, controls the quantizer by setting up a
quantization stepsize so that the current frame will have
the target amount of coding. In this way, the quantization
and coding are controlled by three stages, i.e., immediately
after a scene change, from the scene change to the
stabilization of the amount of coding, and after the
stabilization of the amount of coding, to thereby prevent
degradation of picture quality.

Abstract: A packet switch has a switching unit (SU) for
switching packets between network links and a computing unit
(CU) connected to the SU through a network link for
implementing software control functions over the SU. The SU is
formed of different functional components interconnected by
generic buses. The components communicate with one another
using program data units (PDUs) that are formatted and
transmitted according to a shared device protocol. The
communication between the components occurs by placing PDUs in
bus frames that are passed from component to component.
Information is exchanged between the components by adding
information to or dropping information from the fields of the
PDUs, or by concatenating new fields to the PDUs, as the frames
pass from component to component. By using a generic bus to
implement PDU-based interconnections within the SU, all the
components are forced to support a common interface. Changes
to the implementations of any component's interface can thus be
accommodated by changing the PDU format as opposed to changing
the interfaces of connected components. The new packet switch
architecture decouples the components on the switch so that
they can be upgraded or otherwise modified independently of one
another.

correction circuit includes a keyed comparator (Q5,Q6,Q7) for
comparing the output voltage of the load (110) with a reference
potential during a vertical retrace pulse interval to provide a leakage
indicating signal; and a controllable current source (Q1,Q3) is
coupled to the keyed comparator and responsive to the leakage
indicating signal for feeding back the leakage correction current (Io)
to the load circuit (110). In one application the cathode current
indicating signals are first combined (110) and then subjected to
leakage compensation (130) for application to the processing IC AKB
input. In another application, the cathode current indicating signals
are individually leakage compensated and then combined (300) for
application to the processing IC.
