Patent EP-1350146-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRADENBAUGH KENNETH A
IPC: H05B3/82
Filed: 2001-12-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un chauffe-eau comprenant un réservoir d'eau (11, 205) et des éléments chauffants multiples (16, 125, 235, 240) à résistance électrique, qui s'étendent dans le réservoir d'eau de manière à chauffer l'eau dans ce dernier. Le chauffe-eau comprend un régulateur thermique (260) qui fournit de l'électricité aux éléments chauffants à résistance (16, 125, 235, 240) par poussées. Chaque poussée de courant électrique appliquée aux éléments chauffants à résistance électrique installés dans le réservoir est suivie d'une période pendant laquelle le régulateur thermique ne transmet pas de courant électrique à l'élément de chauffage à résistance électrique(16, 125, 235, 240). Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la durée de chaque poussée de courant électrique correpond au maximum à environ 95 % d'un cycle comprenant une poussée de courant suivie d'une période pendant laquelle le régulateur n'envoie pas de courant. L'activation des éléments chauffants par le régulateur respecte en outre un mode séquentiel ou un autre mode temporisé ou régulé de manière à assurer le chauffage uniforme de l'eau contenue dans le réservoir.

Abstract: In the software carrier of a palm-sized computer game machine is added a TV tuner, a
multi-system video signal decoder and converter circuit, a high-speed memory, an external
video and audio input port and a group of audio selectors plus loudspeakers and earphone
output means. Under the control of a software, the TV tuner converts the TV signals
received into video and audio signals, and the multi-system video signal decoder and
converter circuit decodes and converts the video signals input from the TV tuner or
external input port into digital image data and store temporally into a high-speed memory,
which are then transferred to the storage /storage area for display of a palm-sized computer
game machine by using a fast transferring means such as a direct memory access, and the
audio signal output from the TV tuner or the audio signal input from an external input port
are transferred to output devices such as loudspeaker or external earphones, thus a palm-sized
computer game machine will become a portable TV and video signal receiver.

Abstract: In a method of discriminating a received spread spectrum signal among a number of received spread spectrum signals that are transmitted over a transmission channel, the received spread spectrum signal is despread, thereby using a locally generated pseudo noise sequence with a given phase offset. The despread received spread spectrum signal is quantized so as to obtain a probability mass function estimate of the despread received spread spectrum signal. A difference is determined between the probability mass function estimate and a true probability mass function that corresponds to a transmitted spread spectrum signal before transmission over the transmission channel. The difference is accumulated over a given number of symbols so as to obtain a statistic of the received spread spectrum signal. If the statistic fails a test against a given threshold, the received spread spectrum signal is rejected. Otherwise, the statistic is accepted.

Title: Trench-gate semiconductor devices and their manufacture
Inventor: PEAKE STEVEN T
IPC: H01L29/423
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: Compact trench-gate semiconductor devices, for example a cellular power MOSFET with sub-micron pitch (Yc), are manufactured with self-aligned techniques that use sidewall spacers (52) in different ways. Thereby, the source region (13) and a contact window (18a) for a source electrode (33) can be self-aligned to a narrow trench (20) containing the trench-gate (11). Thereby, the channel-accommodating region (15) can also be provided after forming the trench-gate (11), and with very good control of its doping concentration (Na; p) adjacent to the trench (20). To achieve this control, its dopant is provided after removing the spacers (52) from the mask (51) so as to form a doping window (51b), which may also be used for the source dopant, adjacent to the trench-gate (11). A high energy dopant implant (61) or other doping process provides this channel dopant adjacent to the trench (20) and extending laterally below the mask (51, 51n). A remarkably uniform doping profile can be achieved beneath the doping window (51b) and beneath the mask (51, 51n). By using a high ion energy and high dose, the dopant ions (61) at the doping window (51b) can be laterally scattered below the mask (51) while those at the mask (51) penetrate there-through to be implanted in the underlying portion of the body (100).

Title: Slit lens arrangement for particle beams
Inventor: MUELLER HEIKO
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A slit lens arrangement for particle beams, and particularly for the projection of a mask onto a workpiece, includes a combined lens, having a cylinder lens and a quadrupole lens, the optical axes of which run parallel to each other, so that the optical axis of the quadrupole lens may be displaced in a parallel manner and which may have a gap-like opening between the pole shoes or in the electrodes with the same spatial relationship to each other. Both lenses are thus so arranged relative to each other, that the focussing of the quadrupole lens occurs in that plane in which the cylinder lens is not focussed, and the defocusing of the quadrupole lens occurs in that plane in which the cylinder lens focuses. Two combined lenses are provided with functionally identical elements arranged such that the optical axes of both lenses lie coaxial to each other, defining the mid-axis of the total system and in which the beam path is telescopic throughout the entire slit lens arrangement. The optical axis of the image is given by the optical axis of the quadrupole. Further, the diffraction plane, or aperture plane, for the total system lies between both combined lenses and fixes a point on the mid-axis, relative to which the combined lenses are arranged, so that the above are anti-symmetric to each other and simultaneously fill the condition that the separation of the first and the second combined lenses from the diffraction plane and the assembly and/or the fields of functionally identical elements in the combined lenses is in a ratio which corresponds to the image scale, preferably, reduction ratio. The shifts of the optical axes of the quadrupole lenses of both combined lenses occur in diametrically opposed directions, such that the size of the shifts are in a ratio to each other which corresponds to the image scale, preferably, the reduction ratio.
