Abstract: A method for reducing the standing wave effects in a photolithography process of a polysilicon layer (106) is described herein. A anti-reflective coating (108), such as titanium nitride, is deposited over the polysilicon layer (106). Photoresist (110) is then deposited over the anti-reflective coating (108) and a portion of the photoresist (110) is exposed using an optical beam (112). The anti-reflective coating (108) absorbs the optical beam (112) reducing the standing wave effects. A portion of the photoresist material (110) is then removed. Portions of the anti-reflective coating (108) and polysilicon layer (106) not covered by photoresist (110) are then etched away creating a polysilicon line having a more uniform linewidth.

Abstract: In accordance with an output signal from a weight
sensor mounted on a vehicle, a display control section causes
a display unit to display weights calculated at predetermined
intervals by a weight calculating section. The display control
section adds, to the weight which is being displayed, the
difference in the weights sequentially calculated by the weight
calculating section from detection of start of a
loading/unloading operation performed by a detection section to
start of running of the vehicle and causes the display unit to
display the obtained weight. When a release detection section
has detected release of the brake within a predetermined time
from the stoppage of the vehicle, detection of start of a
loading/unloading operation is inhibited for a predetermined
time from detection of the release. If release of the brake is
not detected within a predetermined time from the moment at
which the vehicle has been brought to the stoppage state,
detection of start of a loading/unloading operation is enabled
after a predetermined time elapses from the stoppage of the
vehicle.

Abstract: A dealer-locator service is provided to mobile telephones (40) in a mobile telecommunications system. When a mobile telephone initiates a call to the dealer-locator service, a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO 41) identifies the one of a plurality of base stations (20-23) through which the call is made. A dealer-locator service apparatus (43-45) then uses this base-station identification, rather than the telephone number of the calling mobile telephone, to look up in a dealer-locator database the one of a plurality of business locations of the dealer that is in the vicinity of the identified base station, and hence in the vicinity of the calling mobile telephone. The apparatus then reports the address of the one business location to the caller, and optionally also causes the MTSO to connect the call to a telephone number of the one business location. The dealer-locator database may be programmed by individually calling the dealer-locator service from each dealer business location via a mobile telephone that is positioned at that dealer business location and supplying that location's address and phone number. The apparatus records the identity of the base station through which the call was made along with the supplied information in the database.

Abstract: A method for controlling an engine exhaust gas system includes the steps of detecting an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas discharged from an internal engine by an oxygen sensor, controlling the exhaust gas to near the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by a closed-loop control referring to a resultant signal, and leading the exhaust gas to a three-way catalyst to treat nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide. A nitrogen oxide sensor is provided downstream of the three-way catalyst, and a control value of air-fuel ratio by a closed loop control by the oxygen sensor is corrected to set the nitrogen oxide concentration to a predetermined value in accordance with an output of the nitrogen oxide sensor. The deterioration of the three-way catalyst and/or oxygen sensor is detected by comparing a change in control corrected value for the air-fuel ratio of closed loop control referring to an output of the nitrogen oxide sensor with a predetermined value.
