Title: Lowering dielectric constant of dielectric material in semiconductor device fabricating process
Inventor: CHEN KUEN-JIAN
IPC: H01L21/76
Filed: 1999-12-01
Granted: 2001-06-23
Abstract: This invention is about method for lowering the dielectric constant of dielectric material in semiconductor device fabricating process. Particularly, the main characteristic is that a layer of organic material with low dielectric value or a layer of inorganic material with low dielectric value is coated after completing the predefinition of semiconductor device on the semiconductor substrate by using photoresist. After that, this semiconductor substrate is heated to the boiling point, which is between 100 DEG C and 300 DEG C, and is cooled down to room temperature. Finally, a dielectric layer with low dielectric value having numerous holes can be formed.

Title: Gasification of biosludge
Inventor: WINTER JOHN D
IPC: C10L5/48
Filed: 1999-12-27
Granted: 2002-08-11
Abstract: The high intracellular water content contained within the cell walls of the bacterial cells of a dewatered biosludge is reduced by removing the intracellular water in a denaturing operation. This operation comprises heating the biosludge at a temperature sufficient to weaken the bacterial cell walls. The weakened cell walls are then exposed to a reduced pressure sufficient to form vapor within the cell and to thus rupture the weakened cell walls and thereby release the intracellular water in the form of a hot aqueous vapor and/or released intracellular water. The water-reduced concentrated biosludge can then serve as a fuel source in a partial oxidation reaction for the production of synthesis gas.

An electrode 4, made of a transparent conductive film such as an ITO, is formed on the underside of transparent substrate 2. Alignment layer 11, made of a transparent insulating film is formed on the underside of the electrode 4. The surface of the alignment layer is subjected to the above optical orienting process. Thereby, differently oriented regions are generated on the alignment layer 11 in an identical manner to that of generating them on the alignment layer 10.

Title: Method for fabricating semiconductor device with high quality crystalline silicon film
Inventor: UEDA TOHRU
IPC: H01L29/786
Filed: 2000-05-25
Granted: 2002-06-11
Abstract: An amorphous silicon film 22 is deposited on a quartz substrate 21, and a metal of Ni is introduced into the amorphous silicon film 22 so that the amorphous silicon film 22 is crystallized. Phosphorus is ion-implanted with an oxide pattern 26 used as a mask. A heating process is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere, by which Ni is gettered. A heating process is performed in an O2 atmosphere, by which Ni is gettered into the oxide 30. Like this, by performing the first gettering in a non-oxidative atmosphere, the Ni concentration can be reduced to such a level that oxidation does not cause any increase of irregularities or occurrence of pinholes. Thus, in a second gettering, enough oxidation can be effected without minding any increase of irregularities and occurrence of pinholes, so that the Ni concentration can be reduced to an extremely low level. Also, a high-quality crystalline silicon film free from surface irregularities and pinholes can be obtained.

Granted: 2002-03-11
Abstract: The inventive adder 200 can perform carry look-ahead calculations for a bi-endian adder in a cache memory system. The adder can add one of +/-1, 4, 8 or 16 to a loaded value from memory, and the operation can be a 4 or 8 byte add. The inventive adder comprises a plurality of byte adder cells and carry look-ahead (CLA) logic 201. The adder cells determine which of the themselves is the least significant bit (LSB) byte adder cell. The LSB cell then adds one of the increment values 105 to its loaded value. The other cells add 0x00 or 0xFF, depending upon the sign of the increment value, to a loaded value from memory. Each adder performs two adds 203, one for a carry-in of 0, and the other for a carry in of 1. Both results are sent to a MUX 204. The CLA logic determines each of the carries, and provides a selection control signal to each MUX. of the different cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a method and a circuit for driving the same. A gradation difference between the image data to be supplied to the picture elements of the same color of two pixels adjacent in a horizontal direction is detected in a gradation difference judging section. And when the gradation difference is larger than a predetermined gradation difference, it is judged in the same pattern of a size relationship detecting section and a horizontal pattern counting section whether the size relationship between the gradations of the picture elements of the same color of the two pixels repeats in the horizontal direction at least a certain number of times or not. And hence, when the size relationship repeats at least a certain number of times, it is compared with those of a plurality of lines continuously arranged in a vertical direction. And it is judged on the basis of the result of the comparisons whether a flicker occurs or not. And hence, when the flicker may occur over a plurality of frames, a polarity pattern switching signal is changed, whereby a polarity pattern which determines the polarities of the image data to be supplied from a data driver to a liquid crystal display panel is switched.

Title: Reciprocal, maintenance free community membership data management system
Inventor: LINDQUIST WESLEY DEWAYNE
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2001-02-09
Granted: 2002-08-11
Abstract: The present community membership data management system identifies each user and their associated communities of interest. Each community has a user defined permission to access a subset of the user's data, which data is shared among some or all of the members of that community. When the user's data is updated, the update is automatically propagated to all of the identified associated communities of interest and the members of those communities who have permission to receive that data. Thus, each user of the present community membership data management system has their computerized calendar and address book system automatically populated with data, which data is continuously and automatically updated. The confidentiality and security of the user data is maintained by defining a set of permissions among the communities, members of communities and for each user to ensure that the user maintains control of the propagation of their data. Each user therefore maintains a ""virtual user image"" in each of the communities, where the members of that community view only one aspect of the user's personal data.
