Abstract: Liquefied gas (34) from a tank (3) passes via the dosing unit (5) through an evaporator (2) converting it to a gas. This is fed to a reactor (20). An energy source (21) produces a reactive zone (32) there. The reaction products are used to coat the workpiece (30). The mass flowrate of the gas in the reactor is adjusted by a unit controlling the flow of the liquid gas (40) into the evaporator. For plasma-assisted vapor phase deposition of layers onto workpieces, the reactor is evacuated by a pump (26). The gas is supplied to the evacuated region. Plasma is excited there, using an electromagnetic field. The products coat the workpiece. The volumetric flow set by dosing is preferably about 20 nl/min - 10 mu l/min. Dosing precision is preferably 0.3 mu l/min or better. The process gas component is mixed with a second gas in the evaporator (2). A mass flowrate sensor measures the flow of liquid gases to the evaporator. The evaporation rate exceeds the introduction rate into the evaporator. The pressure in the reactor is controlled using a throttle valve (24) in the vacuum line to the pump. The first process gas component is a metastable substance. It has no lasting stability at 130[deg] C, or at the temperature in the evaporator. A mixture of two components at least, is dosed in liquid form. A first process gas component is vaporized and supplied to the reactor. At a temperature of 130[deg] C, this has a vapor pressure preferably less than 50mbar. A polyether is a component of the first process gas. This is preferably a non-cyclic polyether, especially a mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or hexaethylene glycol-dimethyl ether, preferably tetraethylene glycol-dimethyl ether. It is vaporized as the first process gas component. A polyethylene glycol-containing- or polyethylene glycol-like coating is deposited on the workpiece.

Abstract: An audio multi-standard detection apparatus is provided to pre-record a plurality of audio broadcasting format carrier bands. The detection apparatus includes: a carrier calculation unit and a switch controller. The carrier calculation unit is used for receiving an intermediate frequency signal and calculates the first carrier energy of the intermediate frequency signal in each of the frequency bands. From this first carrier energy, the switch controller determines which frequency bands are existed in the intermediate frequency signal, then analyzes the signal via at least one threshold value to determine the frequency band's primary carrier. The switch controller obtains an effective carrier. Further, the switch controller compares the effective carrier with the pre-recorded carrier bands for selectively outputting the appropriate audio broadcasting format. Hence, the present invention achieves the objective of determining the appropriate audio multi-standard and enables the support of broadcast systems in various countries with a single audio decoding chip.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system for automated aggregation, and possible augmentation, of search results generated or otherwise provided in response to search queries/requests to multiple network resources, such as search engines, the search requests being originated by client devices, at the direction of a server, to the various network resources. In one embodiment, a user, using a client device, enters a search request which is provided to the server. The search request, which may comprise one or more search terms, may be entered via a web based or client based interface/application provided via the client device. As will be described, the client device may be any device capable of accessing the server and network resources via a network, such as the Internet. Exemplary client devices include a computer, cell phone, personal digital assistant, network appliance, etc. The server identifies which network resources, out of a set of available network resources, are likely to provide relevant results to the user's query. The server may further modify the search request to increase the likelihood that the search request will return relevant results. The identified list of resources is then provided back to the client device, along with the modified search request if applicable, which then originates and transmits the search request to each of the identified resources or subset thereof. The search results may then be received and presented to the user by the client device. Alternatively, the search results may be passed to the server which processes the search results and then provides the processed search results back to the client device for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A system and method modifies calibration data used to geo-locate a mobile station. Calibration data measured via a calibration data collection device may contain errors due to the physical limitations of the collection device and/or the collection process. Any data collection device may produce some degree of signal degradation or drop-out. Dead reckoning provides a remedy for signal drop-out, however, it often produces data results that may be unsatisfactory to perform an accurate location estimate. To ensure the integrity of the collected calibration data, a data modification and/or data replacement algorithm may be implemented to enhance the accuracy of the collected data. In addition, current collection procedures used to generate a calibration database may be laborious, time-consuming and expensive. Simplifying the test and measurement equipment needed, and the procedures for obtaining calibration data may save time and expenses.
