Abstract: An integrated circuit memory is disclosed which includes redundant columns associated with a sub-array, and in which multiple input/output terminals are placed in communication with multiple columns in the sub-array in read and write cycles. The number of redundant columns per sub-array is less than the number of input/output terminals. A multiplexer connects the selected redundant column to a selected sense amplifier and write circuit for the input/output with which the replaced column was associated. The multiplexer includes pass gates connected to the bit lines of the redundant column, and fuses connected between each of the pass gates and each of the sense/write circuits selectable for the redundant column. Those of the fuses which are not associated with the selected input/output are opened, and the fuses associated with the selected input/output are left intact. Precharge transistors are connected to the fuse sides of the pass gates, for precharging each of the floating nodes after the pass gates are turned off. This precharging negates the effect of any charge which may be trapped on the fuse side of the pass gates for those lines where the fuses are opened, so that the access time for the next cycle will not be degraded.

Abstract: A method and a device for quantitative electrochemical in situ measurements in water at high temperature. At least two electrode pairs are arranged to determine simultaneously the contents of two molecules or ions, dissolved in the water, by means of an electrochemical measuring method starting from measurement of kinetics, adsorption or the diffusion behaviour of the molecules/ions in connection with electrochemical reactions on or adjacent to the metal electrodes. The electrochemical reactions for the molecules/ions are determined by a first electrode pair (21) consisting of two metal electrodes of an inert metal (211, 212), preferably gold or platinum metal, and a second electrode pair (22) comprising an electrode of an inert metal (221) and a metal electrode (222) which is provided with a surface layer (225). This surface is adapted to influence kinetics, adsorption, or the diffusion behaviour in connection with an electrochemical reaction of the second molecule/ion such that the sensitivity to the reactions of the first molecule/ion is essentially the same for both electrode pairs, whereas the sensitivity to the reactions of the second molecule/ion differs considerably between the electrode pairs, thus allowing the two molecules/ions to be distinguished.

Abstract: Optical coupling equipment of the invention for an optical semiconductor and an optical fiber comprises an optical semiconductor (3,4,6), an optical fiber optically coupled to the semiconductor, and a refraction index matching substance (5) filling the space between the semiconductor and the fiber (1). The refraction index matching substance has a refraction index greater than 1 and smaller than the refraction index of the core of the fiber. The optical distance between the ends of the semiconductor and the fiber with the ends of convex tip (2) changes in association with the refraction index of the refraction index matching substance. If the differences in refraction index between the core of the fiber, as measured on the convex tip, and the outside decreases, the position of the focus of the convex tip changes. Furthermore, if the substances exists outside the active layer, the radiation angle of the laser diode also decreases. As a result, the distance between the facing ends which provides the highest coupling efficiency increases, compared to the equipment lacking the substance.

Abstract: A barcode printer system is shown having a host processing system in communication with a barcode printer. The host processing system converts multi-level user input printer commands into a data stream in the printer control language of the barcode printer for transmission to the printer. The host processing system stores a number of printer command function routines, each of which is associated with a number of multi-level user input printer commands. Each user input printer command includes format and data information in a single command. A low level user input printer command, however, may include only a user readable word and data, the host processing system automatically utilizing stored default values for the format information when converting the command. A higher level user input printer command may include an abbreviation designating the command and values for one or more format variables as well as data. The multi-level user commands are not fixed in length so as to be user friendly for low level users but flexible for higher level users.

IPC: G03F1/29

Abstract: A simplified method of forming a phase shift structure for a lithographic mask includes the conformal deposition of a phase shift material, preferably having an index of refraction similar to that of the mask substrate, over a patterned layer of opaque material and exposed areas of the mask substrate corresponding to the pattern. A layer (30) of opaque material (e.g. chrome/nitride composite) has been deposited to the appropriate thickness (e.g. 230 nm for deep ultraviolet) equal to or about the optical path difference for 180° phase shift on the glass substrate (10) and patterned using a resist layer (32) as standard. Now, a layer (34) of a material having approximately the same index of refraction as the mask substrate is conformally deposited onto the structure by CVD and the same thickness as the layer of opaque material. The thickness of the opaque patterned layer, in combination with the conformal deposition preferably establishes a differentially altered optical path length to produce a phase shift which enhances contrast and increases illumination and resolution in fine patterns. In variant forms of the invention, the conformal deposition of either phase shift material or a sidewall spacer material is followed by an anisotropic removal of material to form the phase shift structure. The application of phase shift material over the mask surface increases durability of the mask and also enhances contrast of images produced with other phase-shift mask feature structures, such as Levenson-type shifters.
