Title: Spread-spectrum detection apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: RADEMACHER LEO
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: In Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) systems employing decimating filters for joint detection of time-variant signals it is desirable to directly calculate coefficients of the decimating filters. In order to calculate the coefficients, an input signal is de-spread (step 500) and a convolution matrix generated (step 502) based upon the de-spread input signal. A Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse of the matrix is calculated (step 504) and used with a training sequence to determine initial coefficients. Advantageously, much of the complexity of known systems is avoided.

Title: Selective epitaxial growth method in semiconductor device
Inventor: PARK JUNG-WOO
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: A method of selective epitaxial growth comprises forming an insulating layer pattern on a semiconductor substrate thus exposing a predetermined region of the substrate and loading the substrate into a reaction chamber (1). A source gas is introduced (9) into the chamber for a first duration to form a semiconductor layer on the exposed substrate region and the insulating layer pattern. An etching gas is then introduced (11) into the chamber for a second duration to selectively remove the semiconductor layer on the insulating layer pattern and then a reducing gas is introduced (13) for a third duration to remove atoms of the etching gas adsorbed on the surface of the semiconductor layer. The gases are repeatedly introduced for at least two cycles and a dopant source gas may also be introduced in the gas cycles, thereby producing a controlled, smooth and uniform epitaxial layer.

Title: Load driving apparatus
Inventor: TAMAI YASUHIRO
IPC: H02J1/00
Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A load driving apparatus comprises a load circuit 2 driven by a high voltage power supply 1, a first switch 4, a second switch 5, a current limiting resistor 3 and a controller 7. The first switch 4 is connected to the load circuit and the power supply in series, thereby controlling power delivered to the load. The second switch 5 is connected to the first switch in parallel, and connected to the load circuit and the limiting resistor in series such that it also controls the power delivered to the load. The limiting resistor 3 acts to reduce the current in that branch of the circuit by sharing the power between itself and the second switch, which causes the current delivered to the load via the second switch to be lower than the current delivered via the first switch. The controller 3 controls the opening and closing of the switches with pulse width modulation to supply power to the load at a plurality of voltages and in the form of a sinusoidal waveform.

Title: Determining surface profile by measurement of interference fringes
Inventor: BANKHEAD ANDREW DOUGLAS
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: In a scanning interferometer, light from a broadband source (4) is split (at 5), reflected by a sample surface (7) and by a reference surface (6), and recombined (at 5) so that it interferes before reaching a detector, such as a CCD camera (10). A motion controller (11) connected to the reference surface varies the difference between the sample and reference path lengths, and the detector senses light intensities produced by interference fringes at intervals eg when triggered by a sensor responsive to the position of the reference surface (6). A data processor (3) has a concurrent processing section (34) for processing intensity values from the detector to identify the position of a coherence peak by correlating intensity values with a correlation function eg using a Gaussian distribution, and a post-processing section (35) for determining the height of a respective surface region from the position of the coherence peak.

Title: Seismic signal processing method and apparatus for generating correlation spectral volumes to determine geologic features
Inventor: PEPPER RANDOLPH E F
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A seismic signal processing method will analyze a resultant set of seismic data, generated in response to a seismic operation performed on a particular portion of an Earth formation, for the purpose of determining a set of geologic characteristics of the particular portion of the Earth Formation. When the seismic signal processing method is performed, a cross correlation technique is utilized. In particular, a first data set, which represents a standard set of "comparison traces having known geologic characteristics" and includes two or more traces having known geologic characteristics but does not constitute a part of an input seismic volume, is cross correlated with a second data set having unknown geologic characteristics. As a result of that cross correlation, an output record, known as a "correlation spectral volume", is generated. The "correlation spectral volume" records and displays the degree to which the unknown geologic characteristics of the second data set substantially matches one or more of the known geologic characteristics of the first data set.
