Abstract: An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of
fabricating a semiconductor device which includes a dielectric
layer situated between a conductive structure and a
semiconductor substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
forming the dielectric layer (layer 14) on the semiconductor
substrate (substrate 12); forming the conductive structure
(structure 18) on the dielectric layer; doping the conductive
structure with boron; and doping the conductive structure with
a dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron. The
semiconductor device may be a PMOS transistor or a capacitor.
Preferably, the conductive structure is a gate structure.
The dielectric layer is, preferably, comprised of a material
selected from the group consisting of: an oxide, an
oxide/oxide stack, an oxide/nitride stack, and an oxynitride.
Preferably, the dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron
comprises at least one group III or group IV element. More
specifically, it is preferably comprised of: carbon,
germanium, and any combination thereof. Preferably, the steps
of doping the conductive structure with boron and doping the
conductive structure with a dopant which inhibits the
diffusion of boron are accomplished substantially
simultaneously, or the step of doping the conductive
structure with boron is performed prior to the step of doping
the conductive structure with a dopant which inhibits the
diffusion of boron are accomplished substantially
simultaneously.

Abstract: A pixel processor (138,160,301), for use in conjunction with a color video
monitor (118) or an all points addressable color print engine (154), includes brush
logic (318), mask logic (330), clip logic (332), and a multi-pixel arithmetic unit (324) to
produce a page map (230) consisting of millions of pixels, each having a color value.
To portray a 2D-rasterization of overlapping objects with portions of objects being
transparent, and objects shaded with colored pattern, the pixel processor (138,160,301)
combines source  S  (220), brush  T  (210,212), pattern mask (216), source mask
(224), and prior destination  D  (236,238) data. Brush logic (318) combines an RGB
color setting with a pattern to provide the brush data, tiled within a source
region. Mask logic (330) ensures transparency of portions of the pattern or
source (228) as defined by pattern mask data and source mask data,
respectively. Clip logic (332) limits pixel updates in regions of the page map not
within the source region. The processor (138,160,301) includes dynamically
reconfigurable bit-slice architecture (324,420,430), for updating multiple pixels in
parallel, for example four 8-bit pixels in one color plane per operation in a 32-bit
embodiment. Registers (326,328) hold intermediate results of arithmetic comparisons
permitting a single raster operation, such as  S ^ (( S ^ T) & (T ^ D)) , to be performed in
four clock periods (T35-T38). The symbol "^" represents a function that returns the
absolute value of the difference of the operands. The symbol "&" represents a function
that returns the arithmetic "minimum" of, in this case, intermediate results.

Inventor: SAGER FRANK
IPC: B60C23/02
Filed: 1998-02-04
Abstract: Wheel speed values (Vij) for each of four wheels are collected and analyzed for a statistical variation which would indicate low tire pressure. Prior to analysis, and following reset of the system, calibration factors are determined for each of the wheels to compensate rolling radius variations, and subsequently used to correct all wheel speed values. The corrected speed values are then filtered to exclude values which represent wheel slippage, rough road fluctuations, vehicle cornering, and uphill or downhill travel. When a sufficient number of values have been collected, an F-value is calculated substantially according to the statistical method "analysis of the variance", and the F-value is compared to an empirically determined value corresponding to a predetermined pressure loss. This comparison can provide the basis for a driver warning. Since a larger F-value indicates a larger statistical difference in wheel speeds, the value can be rechecked after a further interval for additional pressure loss.

Abstract: The housing has a differential housing and axle halves, fabricated from a tubular hollow profile. High fluid pressure pushes the profile ends towards each other, and the profile is widened by an internal high pressure forming tool. The profile (1) is flattened on two opposite sections in the area of the differential housing. The flattened sections are given rigid support, and the housing is formed by expanding upsetting. A second hollow profile is separately formed into a conically bulging double part by expanding upsetting. This is cut centrally to form axle halves, which are connected to the differential housing.

Abstract: Bulk material in a chamber is continuously stirred, preventing channeling. The residence time of gases in the packed bed suffices to decompose tar content of fuel gas produced, by catalytic effect of the coked solids. Independent claims are included for: (i) a gasification reactor with a vertical shaft containing a grid at a narrow location, inlets for air (L) and a chamber below the grid, with a stirrer (13) in the chamber (10) preventing channeling in the packed bed (16); and (ii) a further gas production process. Preferred Features: The residence time is 0.4 seconds minimum, at 700-950 degrees C. A stirrer turns in the bed, e.g. a screw. The air is supplied to the chamber at several locations, one above the other. Some is supplied via the stirrer. Solids are extracted from the chamber with quasi-static bed and transferred into a fluidized bed with reactive fluidizing medium. Chamber filling by the packed bed is measured, residual solids (ash) being withdrawn accordingly at the base. Calcium-containing additive, especially dolomite, is added to the solids to be gasified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of optimizing transmission, and a transmitter receiving digital signals, in which the transmitter is used in a radio system to optimally transmit the signals. The transmitter includes modulation means arranged to modulate the received signals, and converter means for converting the digital signal into an analog signal before signal transmission. The position of the signal received by the converter means within the dynamic range of the converter means affects optimality of the signal obtained from the conversion. The transmitter further include means for generating weighting coefficients, and means for weighting each modulated signal by a specific weighting coefficient so as to set the mutual power levels of the signals into predetermined relations and to optimally dispose the signals within the dynamic range of the converter means. In addition, the transmitter includes means for combining the weighted signals, after which the converter means converts the combined signal into an analog signal, and means for scaling the signal converted into the analog signal into a predetermined power level.
