Abstract: A data communication system is provided for use with a
cellular system containing an array of cells and a cellular
transmitter/receiver located within each cell of the array.
Each cellular transmitter/receiver is adapted for
transmitting and receiving voice and/or data communication
over predetermined channelized frequencies associated with
the particular cell in which the cellular
transmitter/receiver is located. In accordance with the
invention a base data transmission station is located in
each cell and is adapted for transmitting a single data
stream across a plurality of channels, each of which
channels is adapted to carry a single stream of
information. Each base data transmitting station does not
transmit on the predetermined channels that are assigned to
the particular cell in which the base data transmitting
station is located (i.e., those channels are "notched"). In
one embodiment used channels that are carrying streams of
information in adjacent cells are detected and the base
data transmission station does not transmit over the
frequencies of the used channels (i.e., the used channels
are "notched"). 
In this manner, the single data stream transmitted by the
base data transmitting station is transmitted over all of
the channels of the cellular array except for the channels
that are notched. The base data transmitting station also
transmits a notching pattern, which is continuously
updated, to mobile transmitters within the cell. The
notching pattern comprises information concerning the
channels in the cell that are notched and information
concerning used channels of adjacent cells that are
notched. The mobile transmitters in the cell will transmit
a single data stream over all of the plurality of channels
of the cellular array except for the notched channels.

Abstract: Generally, the present invention utilizes dry plasma etching
techniques such as Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) to
produce sloped sidewalls on a DRAM storage cell. The rounded
corners of the lower electrode made by this technique allow
the advanced dielectric material to be deposited without
substantial cracking, and it also allows the capacitance to be
closely predicted and controlled due to the uniformity in
which the advanced dielectric layer can be fabricated. One
embodiment of the present invention is method of making a
microelectronic structure comprising a supporting layer (e.g.
Si substrate 30) having a principal surface, a lower electrode
overlying the principal surface of the supporting layer, and a
high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. BST 44)
overlying the top surface of the lower electrode. The lower
electrode comprises a barrier layer (e.g TiN 36), and an
unreactive layer (e.g. Pt 42).

Abstract: In a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
communication network (10), a central office (CO)
(11) provides interactive communication between a
service provider and a plurality of user terminals
(32). To synchronize transmissions of the user
terminals, a timebase timer (20) in the CO generates
modulo N-bit cyclical reference counts as time
markers. In a downstream direction to the plurality
of user terminals, time marker insertion units (16)
in the CO receive both (a) separate digital TDMA
transport streams having a predetermined data rate
including data packets and Media Access Control
(MAC) packets that are interspersed between the data
packets at predetermined intervals, and (b) the time
markers generated by the timebase timer, and insert
a currently received time marker count into a
concurrently received MAC packet. The resultant
downstream TDMA transport streams with the inserted
time marker counts in the MAC packets are
transmitted in continuous TDMA output transport
stream to the remote user terminals. The time
markers are independent of a data rate, a physical
channel, and a channel protocol of the transport 
stream. In each user terminal, a network interface
module (34) synchronizes itself by comparing
received time markers and locally generated time
marker counts for correcting a local oscillator
frequency. Upstream channel units (23) in the CO
are synchronized using the timebase timer generated
time markers for receiving and processing upstream
data packets upon arrival at their preassigned
channel unit.

Abstract: A film scanner uses three color line sensors which scan a filmstrip
line after line over the entire width of the filmstrip (10), while the filmstrip
is fed in a lengthwise direction. While the filmstrip moves forward, photometric
data is detected from the filmstrip at a lower pixel density through the line
sensors (27-29) with constant charge storage times. Frame number bar codes (10b)
and edge positions of respective frames on the photo film are derived from the
photometric data, and image data pick-up ranges of the respective frames are
determined based on the frame number bar codes (10b) and the frame edge
positions. Based on the photometric data, color video images (52) simulating
photo-prints of the frames are displayed with framing lines (V1,V2,H1,H2)
that indicate the image data pick-up range of each frame. The framing lines are
manually adjustable to correct the image data pick-up range. While the filmstrip
moves backward, three color image data is detected from the image data pick-up
ranges at a higher pixel density through the line sensors (27-29) with variable
charge storage times that are determined for each frame based on the photometric
data of each frame.

Abstract: In a digital copying machine using a multi-beam
optical system, a light beam position detector (38)
situated on a line extended from the surface of a
photosensitive drum detects the passing position of
each light beam scanned by a polygon mirror rotated by
a polygon motor (36). A CPU (51) calculates control
amounts for galvanomirrors (33a to 33d) by using a
beam position detector output processor (40), on the
basis of the detection result of the beam position
detector. Based on the calculated control amounts,
galvanomirror drive circuits (39a to 39d) drive the
galvanomirrors (33a to 33d), thereby to control
the positions of the beams in a sub-scan direction.
The passing positions of the beams can be precisely
detected with no special precision in assembling the
optical system. In addition, the positions of the
beams in the sub-scan direction can be controlled at
predetermined positions, even if some change occurs in
the structure of the optical system due to a variation
in ambience or a variation with the passing of time.
