Abstract: A means for fabrication of solenoidal inductors integrated in a semiconductor chip is provided. The solenoidal coil is partially embedded in a deep well etched into the chip substrate. The non-embedded part of the coil is fabricated as part of the BEOL metallization layers. This allows for a large cross-sectional area of the solenoid turns, thus reducing the turn-to-turn capacitive coupling. Because the solenoidal coils of this invention have a large diameter cross-section, the coil can be made with a large inductance value and yet occupy a small area of the chip. The fabrication process includes etching of a deep cavity in the substrate after all the FEOL steps are completed; lining said cavity with a dielectric followed by fabrication of the part of the coil that will be embedded by deposition of a conductive material metal through a mask; deposition of dielectric and planarization of same by CMP. After planarization the fabrication of the remaining part of the solenoidal coil is fabricated as part of the metallization in the BEOL (i.e. as line/vias of the BEOL). To further increase the cross section of the solenoidal coil part of it may be built by electrodeposition through a mask on top of the BEOL layers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a focused ultrasound procedure monitored using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is provided. An MRI system uses a timing sequence for transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals and detecting magnetic resonance (MR) response signals from a patient's body in response to the RF pulse sequences. A piezoelectric transducer is driven with drive signals such that the transducer emits acoustic energy towards a target tissue region within the patient's body. Parameters of the drive signals are changed at times during the timing sequence that minimize interference with the MRI system detecting MR response signals, e.g., during transmission of RF signals by the MRI system.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil associé pour l'application de codage de contours à résolution multiple à une image fixe à base de zones et le codage vidéo, permettant une meilleure correction d'erreurs pour une transmission basse fréquence. On peut éliminer les bandes de hautes fréquences les moins protégées, laissant subsister seulement un représentation à fréquence inférieure. Par la mise en oeuvre des techniques de codage de voies de source communes, un récepteur à capacité de faible résolution ou à faible largeur de bande de canal peut quand même produire une approximation précise d'un contour malgré une erreur de transmission.

Abstract: A digital time-stamping system for issuing stamps on messages by means of a cryptographic digital signature includes a front end unit (10), a load balancer (50) and one or more public key signature units (60). Incoming messages are rapidly and temporarily time-stamped by means of a MAC generator (30) in the front end unit, and the message is then passed on to the load balancer. The load balancer queues the messages, and passes them on at an appropriate speed to the public key signature units (60), which verifies the MAC and resigns the message with a public key signature. The front end unit (10) and the public key signature units (60) are preferably individual secure modules with the load balancer (50) being outside the security boundaries. The system enables large numbers of incoming messages to be accurately time-stamped in a secure manner.

Abstract: The sterilization method disclosed includes the steps of providing a sterilization chamber; placing the article into the sterilization chamber; equalizing the temperature of the article and the sterilization atmosphere; sealing the sterilization chamber; applying a vacuum of a preselected vacuum pressure to the sterilization chamber; supplying water vapour to the sterilization chamber under vacuum; supplying ozone-containing gas to the sterilization chamber; maintaining the sterilization chamber sealed for a preselected treatment period; and releasing the vacuum in the sterilization chamber; whereby a vacuum pressure is used which lowers the boiling temperature of water in the sterilization chamber below the temperature in the sterilization chamber. One or more ventilating cycles can be added to the preferred method for removing the remaining ozone and humidity from the sterilization chamber. Single cycle sterilization with ozone is more efficient and provides for a shorter sterilization cycle than with ETO and requires few changes in user habits. Moreover, the ozone-based process in accordance with the invention is compatible for use with current packaging, such as sterile pouches and rigid containers. The sterilization process is simple and substantially avoids human errors caused by false interpretation and handling. The ozone sterilization method of the invention requires substantially no aeration or cooling down of sterilized instruments so that they can be used immediately following the sterilization cycle. This allows hospitals to reduce the cost of maintaining expensive medical device inventories.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed by which a base transceiver station (BTS) may be uniquely identified. When attempting to determine the location of a mobile unit using signal from multiple BTSs, it is critical that the BTSs be uniquely identified and their position accurately determined. In many cases, the signals received from the BTSs provide limited identification information and cannot be used to uniquely to identify the BTS from which a signal has been received. The present invention uses available information to generate a candidate list and to determine therefrom the most likely candidates for the Measurement BTSs. Based on this information, the system analyzes cell coverage overlap and relative phase delay to determine the likelihood of a candidate BTS being the actual BTS from which a signal is received. As candidate BTSs are uniquely identified, it is possible to use this additional identification information in an iterative process to further identify additional candidate BTSs.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device (1) for decelerating a kinematic chain, particularly of a wind energy converter rotor. The invention aims at preventing an unwanted high load, caused by torsional vibrations resulting from a sudden priming of the deceleration torque. Therefor, the primed deceleration torque is gradually increased by means of a braking unit (5) in a predetermined time sequence, based on the natural frequency of the wind energy converter. Thus the possible torsional vibrations can be securely avoided, such that there is timely stoppage and the construction design can be dimensioned on the basis of rotating torques reached by the maximum deceleration torque.

Abstract: A covering (1) that rests on the luggage-compartment floor (2) of an automobile can be placed, as desired, on the luggage-compartment floor (2) on opposite supporting sides (1', 1 ). In order to be able to removably lock the covering (1), on both of its supporting sides (1', 1 ), to a part (4) fixed to the vehicle body, two sliding bolts (5) are provided, which are situated inside an accommodating housing (10) in a manner that enables them to be longitudinally displaced, said accommodating housing being placed inside a recess (30) of the covering (1). Both sliding bolts (5) are rigidly connected to one another by two distance pins (7 and 8). In addition, a grip plate (18, 19) is provided on each of the opposite outer sides of the accommodating housing (10) and these grip plates are each provided, on their inner sides, with three adjoining pushing parts (27). These pushing parts act upon the distance pins (7 or 8) when the grip plates (18 and 19) pass from their home position (c) into the working position (d). The distance pins are acted upon in such a manner that results in both sliding bolts (5) being longitudinally displaced in the direction of arrow (f) from the locking position (a) and into the unlocking position (b) thereby permitting the covering (1) to be tilted.
