Title: System for selecting and accessing portions of an information stream(s) from a television
Inventor: CHEN JEANE
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1999-02-11
Granted: 2000-11-21
Abstract: An improved television is capable of demultiplexing, selecting and distributing information streams of different types of information to the television and to one or more television companion devices (TCDs). The television has a television antenna for receiving a broadcast signal having one or more types of information. Each information type has one or more segments. The television further has a transmitter for transmitting a communication signal to one or more television companion devices. The types of information can include any one or more of the following: a video channel, an audio channel, a data channel, one or more graphical images, and/or one or more animated images. The segments can include any one or more of the following: an audio clip or audio program, a video segment or video program, a still image, animation, graphics, 3D images, and/or a stream of text. The television communicates with the TCDs via a communication link. When the television communicates with the TCDs, it embeds an address into the message which identifies one or more of the TCDs to be the recipient of the message. Information streams and segments which are to be output by the television and/or one or more TCDs are selected by a selector that selects two or more segments from one or more of the types of information where one or more of the segments is displayed, e.g. on the television, and one or more of the segments are transmitted to one or more television companion devices. In an alternative embodiment, if the automatic selection of information is desired, a Profile Subsystem which contains a profile of profile items in a database of information of interest to the viewer will control selection of one or more of the segments if the segments contain one or more profile items.

Title: Semiconductor memory device
Inventor: SUGIBAYASHI TADAHIKO
IPC: G11C29/04
Filed: 1999-02-24
Granted: 2000-11-11
Abstract: A semiconductor memory device (100) includes a normal cell array and a redundant cell array. When a normal cell array location is to be replaced by selecting the redundant cell array, a first circuit (120) outputs a one-shot signal (PBLST) to a redundant block selection circuit (118). The redundant block selection circuit (118) activates a redundant precharge stop signal (RDPBL) without waiting for a redundant cell decoder (110) decoding result. The redundant cell decoder (110) result indicates whether the redundant cell array is selected or not selected. Accelerated accesses to the redundant cell array can result, improving overall access opeed for the semiconductor memory device (100).

Title: Electronic type delay detonator
Inventor: KUROGI KAZUHIRO
IPC: F42D1/05
Filed: 1999-04-22
Granted: 2000-09-21
Abstract: To provide a kind of electronic type delay detonator for which an explosive condition can be set correctly and safely by a control signal, wherein only electric energy is received to perform the explosion activity. Electric energy sent from a blasting machine is received via a pair of input terminals and charged to a charging circuit to drive an electronic timer. The electronic timer is used to check the charging voltage level of the charging circuit, if this electric potential is above the first potential then to perform the first activity to enable the explosion; otherwise, if below the second potential which is lower than the first potential, then perform the second activity for setting detonation conditions. The electronic timer transmits an actuation signal after the first reference time; perform the check activity for the charging voltage level and first activity or second activity. The first operation issues a trigger signal a second reference time later set by the second operation and discharges the accumulated electric energy to cause detonation. Since a detonation start signal need not be received and, therefore, there is little possibility of detonation being erroneously started, a blasting operation will not fail to ensure a safe and error-free blasting operation.

Title: Method for fabricating a flat-cell semiconductor memory device
Inventor: TANAKA TAKAO
IPC: H01L27/112
Filed: 2000-06-01
Granted: 2001-10-01
Abstract: A resist pattern with openings provided at the regions where N+ diffusion layers will be eventually formed is formed on a silicon substrate and thereafter, an N-type impurity is ion-doped to form N+ diffusion layers. Thereafter, gate electrodes are formed via a gate oxide film and then sidewall oxide films are formed, on the semiconductor substrate. Thereafter, an ion implantation of a P-type impurity is performed with a dose two orders of magnitude smaller than that of the N-type impurity for element isolation, with the gate electrodes and the sidewall oxide films being employed as a mask, thereby forming P-type impurity regions. The P-type impurity regions are caused to diffuse due to thermal processing in the following step. However, the element isolating P-type impurity regions resulted from the diffusion diffuse only into immediately under the sidewall oxide films at most, thus preventing the channel width from being narrowed.

Fluid passing through the apparatus must pass through narrow gaps (62) between adjacent magnets (24), the gaps (62) being the areas of highest magnetic field strength, thereby maximising the effect of the magnetic field on the fluid.
