Patent GB-2367426-A (GB)
Title: Silicon rich oxides and fluorinated silicon oxide insulating layers
Inventor: LYTLE STEVEN ALAN
IPC: H01L23/532
Filed: 2001-04-03
Abstract: Silicon rich oxide barrier layers are used to encapsulate metal interconnects in an integrated circuit. The barrier layers prevent fluorine diffusing out of a low-k fluorinated silicon glass (FSG) interlayer dielectric which would otherwise react with and damage the metal interconnects. The dielectric layers are deposited using a high density plasma CVD method which can cause the formation of raised bumps 320 over buried features 110. Features greater than about 5000nm in width are difficult to flatten using chemical mechanical polishing, so a photolithographic etching step is used to remove most of such raised features. Subsequently, the ILD may be planarized by CMP.

Title: Pay per use software
Inventor: FRENCH ALEX
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A computer software application is activated by an encrypted code which includes credit information to define the amount of access the user has payed for. The amount of credit available is decremented each time a chargeable task is used and once the credit has expired the system will prevent the software from being used until such time as a new encrypted code is entered. The encrypted code is generated and sent to the user from an external computer, such as a vendors computer, via a data transmission once the user has applied to use the software. The system can prompt the user to buy more credit when a predetermined level of credit is reached. There is also a monitoring of the tasks used and once the amount payed for have been performed the application is prevented from running. Additional security against piracy can be provided by a hardware key without which the application will not operate. The program may additionally be provided with an expiry date after which the application will not work and this may also be updated from the external computer after a prompt from the system. Finally the system may be set up to enable to computer to implement all or only some of the functions available in the software.

Patent GB-2380640-A (GB)
Title: Data compression method
Inventor: BURROWS DAVID FRANK
IPC: G10L19/04
Filed: 2001-08-21
Abstract: A method of data compression coarsely codes components of data to be transmitted or processed where the ultimate recipient of those data are relatively insensitive to, or tolerant of, variations in that component. Thus, in data representing speech, the phase component, e.g., is more coarsely coded than, e.g., the amplitude component. In an extreme embodiment, the phase component may be coded by only one bit per sample, where that bit indicates whether the phase is advanced or retarded relative to a related sample, such as a previous or subsequent sample, while the amplitude may be coded by, e.g., 16 bits.

Title: Central computer and remote terminal
Inventor: BUTLER ANDREW
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: A computer network comprises a central computer (1) and a plurality of remote terminals (5-1 to 5-n) connected to a web site hosted by the central computer (1) via the internet (4). In order to cause a selected terminal (5-1 to 5-n) to connect to the web site, the central computer (1) is arranged to initiate a call to a telephone number of a modem (21) in the terminal (5-1 to 5-n).
