Filed: 1994-08-30
Abstract: A method of fabricating a self-aligned thin film transistor (TFT) with a lift-off technique includes the steps of forming a multi-tier island on a semiconductive layer such that the island structure is disposed in a desired alignment over the gate electrode. The island structure includes a base layer portion, an intermediate body portion, and an upper cap portion, which overhangs the intermediate body portion by an amount between about 0.5 µm and 1.5 µm. Source and drain electrodes are formed such that the source/drain material is disposed over the semiconductive material up to the sidewalls of the base portion of the island structure, which base portion is patterned such that the source and drain electrodes are self-aligned with and extend a selected overlap distance over the gate to provide desired TFT performance characteristics. The upper cap layer is removed in a lift-off technique and the intermediate body portion of the island is removed to complete fabrication oft the TFT.

Abstract: A method for selectively pre-fetching Line M+1 into an L1 instruction cache from an L2 cache or from main memory during the execution of Line M. If unresolved branches exist in pending Line M, Line M+1 is speculative and may be pre-fetched into L1 instruction cache only from L2 cache, not from main memory. Unresolved branches in pending Line M are resolved before Line M+1 is pre-fetched from main memory. If no unresolved branches exist, Line M is committed ("inevitable-speculative") and is pre-fetched from main memory. In this way, no potentially wasteful pre-fetches are performed and main memory bandwidth is preserved.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating the required beamforming delays for an ultrasound imaging system with minimal hardware and software. The apparatus performs an algorithm which allows the required computations to be separated into three groups. The first group includes transducer array geometry computations which are beam independent. The second group includes a small number of beam-dependent computations which are channel independent. The final group includes the channel- and beam-dependent calculations which combine the results of the first two groups to generate the required beamforming delays. This last computation is distributed to logic (62) and simple real-time state machines (64) per channel. This approach reduces the required computations and takes advantage of simple parallel processing to reduce the required hardware and computational time relative to conventional beamformer designs. Beam-dependent parameters are broadcast to all channels simultaneously, where they are combined with channel parameters to provide the required delay controls.

Abstract: Provided is a novel method for wavelength stabilization in a laser spectrometer useful in spectroscopic measurement. 
     According to the method, an initial scan is performed which comprises applying a current or voltage signal to a laser. In the scan, a current or voltage signal value is increased incrementally from a minimum signal value to a maximum signal value over a predetermined total number of signal values. The minimum and maximum signal values are selected such that an absorption feature of a species to be measured falls within the scan bounded by the minimum and the maximum signal values. The relative position of the absorption feature is determined with respect to the applied signal values in the previous scan by analysis of detector outputs corresponding to the signal values in the previous scan. An absorption value corresponding to the absorption feature is determined, and the concentration of the species to be measured can optionally be calculated. A new current or voltage signal scan is defined by resetting the signal values from the previous scan, so as to set the absorption feature in the new current or voltage scan in the same relative position with respect to the applied signal values as in the previous scan. 
     An additional scan is performed, and the steps can be repeated until completion of the spectroscopic measurement. The inventive method allows for automatic correction and stabilization of wavelength in real time without the need for significant computation beyond what is typically required for determining the concentration of the species of interest from the spectroscopic data. Particular applicability is found in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS).

Abstract: The fuel is introduced as a secondary current into a gaseous main current enclosed by an annular premixing duct (20) defined by an inner (21a) and outer (21b) cylinder wall. The main flow is guided by vortex generators (9,9a) which create a vortex leaving behind a residual vortex when the fuel has been completely mixed with the air of the fuel and air mixture. The annular main current duct of constant height (H) has a length (L), downstream from the vortex generators and fuel injector, which is between 5 and 20 times the height. The annular main flow duct widens into a circular main flow duct by closing the inner cylinder wall (21a).

Abstract: A method is described of forming refractive microlenses comprising the steps of 
depositing or growing a first transparent layer on a substrate; depositing or growing a second transparent layer on said first transparent layer ; forming a columnar structure in said second transparent layer; forming a pillar in said first transparent layer using said columnar structure as a mask, whereby said pillar is self-aligned under said columnar structure and said pillar has a cross-sectional area smaller than or equal to the cross-sectional area of said columnar structure ; thereafter reflowing said second transparent layer of said columnar structure while said pillar remains esssentially unaltered, whereby a structure is formed on top of said pillar, said structure having a ground plane with an area smaller than or equal to the original cross-sectional area of said columnar structure ; and solidifying said structure. 
     Due to the surface tension, the pillar underneath the microlens confines the reflow of the microlens to an area smaller or equal to the original cross-sectional area of the lens-forming columnar structure. A major effect of this is that the microlens has a strong curvature, and hence, a large numerical aperture.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé pour obtenir des cellules eucaryotes transgéniques, particulièrement de plantes. Ce procédé consiste à: mettre en contact une culture de cellules non transformées avec un inhibiteur de la poly-(ADP-ribose)polymérase pendant un temps suffisant pour diminuer la réponse des cellules cultivées au stress et pour diminuer leur métabolisme. Ensuite, les cellules non transformées sont mises en contact avec un ADN étranger comportant au moins un gène à étudier dans des conditions dans lesquelles l'ADN étranger est absorbé par les cellules non transformées et le gène à étudier est intégré de façon stable dans le génome nucléaire des cellules non transformées afin de produire des cellules transgéniques. Eventuellement, les cellules transgéniques sont récupérées à partir de la culture. De préférence, l'inhibiteur est l'amide nicotinique, de préférence à une concentration de 200 mg/l à 500 mg/l environ et les cellules non transformées sont cultivées dans un milieu contenant l'inhibiteur pendant une durée d'environ 3 à 14 jours avant d'être mises en contact avec l'ADN étranger. L'invention se rapporte également à une plante comprenant dans le génome nucléaire de ses cellules un ADN étranger intégré uniquement dans les régions du génome nucléaire qui présentent une activité de transcription dans les cellules de la plante lorsque les cellules sont traitées par une quantité efficace d'un inhibiteur de la PARP pendant un temps suffisant pour diminuer le métabolisme cellulaire à un niveau où l'expression génétique est essentiellement limitée à des gènes exprimés, sans tenir compte de la condition différenciée ou physiologique de la cellule.

Abstract: A fan speed controller of an automotive air conditioning device is usually placed in an air flow duct to be effectively cooled. Thus, compact construction of the speed controller is needed to obtain a larger air flow in the air flow duct. For this purpose, various compact resistor units for the speed controller have been proposed. But, some of them are poor in durability against shocks. In view of this, the present invention provides a compact resistor unit for the speed controller, which comprises a resistor proper part including a flat resistor, a flat insulating plate and a flat heat radiation plate which are put on one another; a holder block of molded plastic on which the resistor proper part is mounted; a plurality of terminals of metal partially embedded in said holder block, the terminals being connected to given portions of the flat resistor; connecting lugs partially embedded in the holder block; and rivets for securing the resistor proper part to the connecting lugs. The important feature of the resistor unit is that the connecting lugs are constructed of metal.
