Patent EP-1230557-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOHE HANS-PETER
IPC: G01R33/07
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A Hall element comprises a region having a non-zero Hall constant, a first contact for supplying an operating current to the region, a third contact for conducting the operating current from the region, the first and third contacts defining a direction of the operating current within the region, a second and a fourth contact for tapping a Hall voltage, and a conductor pattern connected to the first contact or to the third contact and substantially surrounding the region laterally or being arranged above or below the region. The conductor pattern has the effect that the intrinsic field of the operating current through the Hall element is suppressed outside the Hall element such that the Hall element effects an at least reduced offset in adjacent Hall elements. In addition thereto, the arrangement of the conductor pattern has the effect that effects of the current return on the Hall voltage generated by the Hall element itself are also at least reduced. An offset reduction is possible simultaneously on an element, by way of suitable implementation, also for both operating current directions in a spinning-current operating mode.

Abstract: Method and structures are provided for conformal lining of dual damascene structures in integrated circuits. Trenches (60) and contact vias (62) are formed (100) in insulating layers (60, 56). The trenches (60) and vias (62) are exposed to alternating chemistries to form monolayers of a desired lining material (150). Exemplary process flows include alternately pulsed metal halide (104) and ammonia gases (108) injected into a constant carrier flow. Self-terminated metal layers are thus reacted with nitrogen. Near perfect step coverage allows minimal thickness for a diffusion barrier function, thereby maximizing the volume of a subsequent filling metal (160) for any given trench and via dimensions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic actuator comprising a housing (1), which has a pneumatic cylinder (6), and comprising at least one piston (4, 5). Said piston can move inside the cylinder (6) in the direction of the axis of the cylinder (6) and, together with the cylinder (6), delimits a working space (32, 33, 34). The piston (4, 5) has a gearing (20) which extends in a direction of the axis. The inventive pneumatic actuator also comprises a shaft (3) which can rotate around an axial direction (2), whose axial direction (2) is vertical in relation to the axis, and which has a gearing (12) that engages with the gearing (20) of the piston (4, 5). A less complex structure is obtained by virtue of the fact that the piston (4, 5) fixes the shaft (3) with positive engagement in the axial direction thereof (2).

Abstract: The method of the present invention is based on a method
wherein a nucleic acid is synthesized utilizing the hybridized
3'-end, which is synthesized by complementary strand synthesis,
on a specific region of a target nucleotide sequence existing as
the nucleotide sequence of the same strand as the origin for the
next round of complementary strand synthesis. The hybridization
to a specific region, which region is searched for mutations and

Abstract: A spread-spectrum sliding matched-filter searcher system comprises a partial matched-filter (201) that receives the input spread-spectrum signal (101). The searcher matches samples of the input signal with a tap length m of the reference code (111) and produces a first correlation value. The first correlation value is compared to a first threshold. When it equals or exceeds the first threshold, the first correlation value is integrated (202) to produce a second correlation value. This second value is compared (203) with a second threshold, which if met signifies the detection of the multi-path signal. The process is repeated until all signification multi-path signals are detected. The design of the present invention is flexible in nature because the searcher can be programmed to act like a matched-filter, a correlator, or a combination of both while significantly improving the search time and reducing the amount of hardware and complexity characteristic of a matched-filter.

Abstract: The invention is a new combined drug, particularly effective in treating
cognitive disorders specific to adults, including Alzheimer's disease,
consisting in the combination of a cholinergic precursor (e.g. choline
alfoscerate) and an AChE inhibitor (e.g. rivastigmine). The
combination permits the use of lower doses of AChE inhibitors,
resulting in a reduction in the incidence of side and/or toxic effects
induced by long-term treatment with AchE inhibitors. Furthermore, the
new drug makes higher quantities of choline, and therefore
acetylcholine, available in patients in which the inhibition of AChE
only may not be effective due to the low neurotransmitter levels present
in the cholinergic synapses.
