Title: A method of forming a selective metal layer
Inventor: KANG SANG-BOM
IPC: C23C16/14
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: In a method of forming a selective metal layer a sacrificial metal layer is selectively deposited on a conductive layer by supplying a sacrificial metal source gas which deposits selectively on a semiconductor substrate having an insulating film and the conductive layer. Sacrificial metal atoms and a halide are formed, and the sacrificial metal layer is replaced with a deposition metal layer such as titanium (Ti) or platinum (Pt), by supplying a metal halide gas having a halogen coherence smaller than the halogen coherence of the metal atoms in the sacrificial metal layer. If such a process is used to form a capacitor lower electrode or form an ohmic layer on the bottom of a contact hole, a metal layer can be selectively formed at a temperature of 500‹C or lower.

Title: System and device for,and method of,detecting,characterizing, and mitigating deterministic distortion in a communications network
Inventor: EYUBOGLU VEDAT M
IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 1997-10-15
Abstract: A system and device for, and method of, detecting, characterizing, and mitigating deterministic distortion in a communication system. An exemplary communication system includes a digital adaptor for sending octets on to a backbone of a PSTN, which then sends, and potentially distorts the octets, received by a line interface, The line interface converts the octets to baseband signals received by an analog adaptor. Several mechanisms and methods are described in which the analog and digital adaptor cooperate to detect the presence of distortion, in particular, robbed bit signaling, on the communication system. The characterization may then be used to mitigate the effects of the distortion. Several receive constellations are provided, each constructed in view of the transmit constellation and in view of the manner in which the deterministic distortion will distort signals transmitted over the system. The receive constellations differ from the transmit constellation. The analog adaptor uses an appropriate receive constellation based on the type of distortion expected at a given interval. The digital adaptor may similarly include several constellations in view of the same considerations.
Patent GB-2338069-A (GB)
Title: Engine misfire detection system
Inventor: WANG YUE YUN
IPC: F02D37/02
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: A system for determining a misfire condition in an internal combustion engine E comprises cylinder misfire detection means and means to assess the condition of the misfiring cylinder. The detection means subtracts the firing time taken for a cylinder under test (time taken for a tone disc 15 at the crankshaft or camshaft to rotate a predetermined number of degrees) from the firing time of the immediately previous cylinder, to give a firing time differential parameter C i . This time differential is then compared with a threshold value stored in an engine control module 10 (ECM) to determine if a misfire is present. The ECM can be linked to a temperature sensor 20 and include an engine temperature look up table in a memory 11 to provide a temperature dependent variable threshold limit. On detection of a misfire incremental predetermined amounts of excess fuel (α) are introduced into that cylinder (overfueling) for a given number of firing cycles, such that the time differential parameter becomes less negative until it falls within acceptable operating parameters. The total excess of fuel required gives an indication of cylinder condition.
