shafts (70,72). A pair of clutch members (62,64) are biased apart by a plurality of spring assemblies
including a locking pin (108) colinearly arranged relative to a helical spring (110). At one end, the
locking pin is slidably mounted in a corresponding pin bore (104) contained in one face of a
first clutch member, the other end of the locking pin extending within an oversized spring
bore (106) contained in the opposing face of a second clutch member. The helical spring (110) is
mounted in the bottom of the oversized bore and is compressed by the pin when the pin is
releasably retained in an extended operable position by a removable fastener member,
thereby to compress the friction packs between the clutch members and the adjacent
casing internal wall surfaces. When one axle shaft overruns the other by a given
amount, the associated friction clutch is disengaged to disconnect the overrunning shaft
from the differential.

Abstract: In the field of fluid power control, there is a need for a control scheme
that supplies working fluid under pressure to a load in the event of failure
of power supplies to control apparatus associated with the circuit. 
     The disclosure relates to a control circuit 10 in which output pressure
from a pump 11 is fed to a control piston 13 therefor via a pressure
compensator 17. The pressure compensator 17 is biased to disconnect the
supply of fluid at outlet pressure when this pressure is below a threshold
value, and permit such supply when the outlet pressure exceeds the
threshold value determined by the biassing force on the pressure
compensator. 
     A proportional control valve 16 may be employed further to counteract the
biassing of the pressure compensator 17, whereby to control the threshold
pressure at which the compensator 17 operates to feed fluid at control
pressure to the piston 13. 
     The invention is of particular use in control circuits eg. for cooling pumps
and cooling fans.

Abstract: The invention provides a driving method suitable
for a solid-state imaging device provided with a blooming
prevention structure by which the dynamic range of the
solid-state imaging device can be varied suitably. Each
pixel section of a solid-state imaging device includes a
reset gate for controlling a resetting operation for
discharging accumulated charge from a charge accumulation
portion of the pixel section. By performing reset gate
voltage driving so that the voltage to be applied to the
reset gate may vary midway in a charge accumulation period
of the pixel section, the overflow level can be raised
midway in the charge accumulation period of the pixel
section to expand the dynamic range. Or, the voltage to be
applied to a transfer gate for controlling a transferring
operation of forwarding accumulated charge from a charge
accumulation portion into a floating diffusion portion or
the voltage to be applied to a bias gate for controlling
the potential of a floating gate is varied.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor memory (18, 20, 100, 200) having a hierarchical
bit line architecture including local bit lines (LBL 1 , LBL 2 ) on a lower fabrication layer,
coupled to memory cells (MC), and master bit lines (MBL) on a higher fabrication
layer, each coupled to an associated sense amplifier (SA i) . Local bit lines disposed in
any given column are coupled to different numbers of memory cells, i.e., the local bit
lines have different lengths (L1, L2) over the memory cells. A hybrid configuration is
preferably employed in which one local bit line (LBL 1 ) in a column is directly coupled
via a switch (25 1 ) to an associated sense amplifier, whereas the other local bit lines in
the column (LBL 2 -LBL 4 ) are operatively coupled to the sense amplifier via the master
bit line. The different local bit line lengths are preferably selected such that total bit
line capacitance with respect to any of the memory cells is substantially equalized,
thereby improving data retention time for the memory.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a switching element (120) or a matrix
(50) of switching elements includes providing a waveguide substrate (52; 150;
and 198) having at least two waveguides (62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78,
80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90 and 92; 108, 110, 112 and 114) that intersect at a
trench (94; 152 and 154; 200 and 202) such that optical coupling between
the waveguides is dependent upon the presence or absence of an index-matching
fluid at the intersection of the waveguides with the trench. Fluid is
supplied to the trench via a fluid fill-hole (57; 116 and 118; 148 and 188) that
extends through a heater substrate (53; 122; and 160) in a direction that is
generally perpendicular to a substrate surface on which at least one heater
(100 and 102; 132; and 170) is fabricated. In the preferred embodiment, the
fluid fill-hole is formed in a step of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactive
ion etching (RIE). The waveguide substrate having at least two waveguides
and the heater substrate having the heaters and the fill-hole are bonded
together after the substrates are aligned such that the trench is in fluid
communication with at least one fluid fill-hole and is in thermal communication
with at least one heater. Optical fibers (96) are then coupled to the
waveguides. Preferably, a structurally weakened edge portion (158 and 196)
is formed during the ICP RIE step so that the edge portion can be removed
after the two substrates are bonded, allowing uninhibited access of the optical
fibers to the waveguides.

Abstract: An improved method for forming a DRAM chip (10) is
disclosed. According to this method, a memory cell gate (26) is
deposited in a memory cell array area (12) of the DRAM chip
(10). The memory cell gate (26) overlies a first channel area
of a substrate. A peripheral gate (32) is deposited in a
peripheral area of the DRAM chip. The peripheral gate overlies
a second channel area of the substrate. A first dopant is
implanted with a first concentration in a first plurality of
source and drain regions (30) of the substrate lying
predominantly outside the first and second channel areas of the
substrate. A sidewall is then formed adjacent to the peripheral
gate (32). Simultaneously, an insulating layer (28) is formed
over the memory cell array area of the DRAM chip (10). A second
dopant is implanted with a second concentration in a second
plurality of source and drain regions (36) of the substrate
within the peripheral area (14) of the DRAM chip (10). The
implant of the second dopant is blocked by the sidewall and the
insulating layer. In one embodiment, the first and second
dopants are the same, and the dopant concentration in the second
plurality of regions is greater than the dopant concentration in
the first plurality of regions. This method allows the
formation of more heavily doped source and drain regions (36) in
the peripheral area of the DRAM chip while keeping the heavily
doped regions separated from the channel regions. This reduces
diffusion into the channel regions and allows a smaller design
rule to be used.
