IPC: H01L29/66
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A method of forming a transistor (70) in a
semiconductor active area (78). The method forms a gate
structure (G 2 ) in a fixed relationship to the semiconductor
active area thereby defining a first source/drain region
(R 1 ) adjacent a first gate structure sidewall and a second
source/drain region (R 2 ) adjacent a second sidewall gate
structure. The method also forms a lightly doped diffused
region (80 1 ) formed in the first source/drain region and
extending under the gate structure, wherein the lightly
doped diffused region comprises a varying resistance in a
direction parallel to the gate structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and
method for reserving data channels in an optical
burst-switched network. A data channel (or a multiple
of data channels) along an optical path in an optical
burst-switched network is reserved by first
transmitting a data channel reservation request from
an electronic ingress edge router to a reservation
termination node. Next, the data channel reservation
request is processed at all nodes along the optical
path, including the reservation termination node. A
data channel reservation acknowledgement is then
transmitted from the reservation termination node to
the electronic ingress edge router. Finally, the data
channel path is reserved once an initial burst(s)
which contains a reserve data channel bit reaches the
reservation termination node.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new method and system for
streaming media data in a heterogeneous network environment.
Additionally to existing standard streaming products, e.g.
standard Media Player and Stream Server, a  Stream Server Portal 
which controls a set of Stream Servers is provided by the present
invention. The Stream Server Portal offers a service called
 prepareStreaming  to applications which returns the streaming meta
data necessary to initiate streaming for given media instances.
The use of Stream Server Portal allows to generate streaming meta
data necessary to initiate streaming on the fly as part of
executing a prepareStreaming request. This completely removes the
need to store and maintain said streaming streaming meta data and
solves the problems associated with it. Furthermore, Stream
Server Portal allows to transfer media data to a stream server
machine transparently as part of executing a prepareStreaming
request. This removes the constraint of media data to be
maintained on the same machine as the stream server software and
solves the problems this creates for certain server platforms.
The Stream Server Portal can minimize the additional network
traffic by maintaining a cache of the media data already
transferred. Finally, Stream Server Portal allows to choose among
available stream servers (even from different makers) in order to
stream a particular media as part of executing a prepareStreaming
request. This removes the need for companies to decide for a
proprietary stream server software, as the Stream Server Portal
shields the application requiring streaming from knowing the
specifics about, and from storing and maintaining streaming meta
data. A preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses
the use of an additional Stream Server Controller when the Stream
Server Portal may choose among several Stream Server.

Abstract: A camshaft (22) provided with three-dimensional cams (27) is connected at its one end to a valve lift-varying actuator (22a). By the valve lift-varying actuator (22a) displacing the camshaft (22) in the directions of an axis of the camshaft (22), the lift characteristic of intake valves (20) set by the three-dimensional cams (27) is variably controlled to a target amount of valve lift. The valve lift characteristic related to this control is detected as a detected amount of valve lift by a reference-purposed detected portion and a cam angle sensor (126). An apparatus and a method diagnoses abnormalities in the valve lift-varying actuator (22a) by, for example, evaluating whether the amount of change in the detected amount of valve lift is at most a predetermined value and the absolute value of a difference between the detected amount of valve lift and the target amount of valve lift is greater than a predetermined value.

Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: An apparatus comprising a delivery fan (3) having a plurality
of sets of blades (9) formed at constant circumferential spacings
on a rotary shaft (8) for receiving successive sheets, one in
each spacing, from an infeed conveyor (1). The sheets on the
delivery fan successively fall therefrom on hitting abutment
means (24), onto delivery means (4, 5) to be stacked thereon.
Also included is a temporary sheet holder (7) angularly
displaceable relative to the delivery fan about the same axis
therewith, to and away from a working position where the temporary
sheet holder temporarily receives the sheets from the delivery
fan pending replacement of a preformed stack of sheets on the
delivery means. 
     In order to be driven from its retracted to working position
at the same angular velocity as the delivery fan without use of
separate drive motors or the like, the temporary sheet holder
(7) is mounted on the shaft (8) of the delivery fan (3) via a
pair of overrunning clutches (45) which prevent the temporary
sheet holder from rotating faster than the delivery fan shaft
in a direction from the retracted to the working position. By
being sprung in that direction, the sheet holder is enabled to
travel at the same angular velocity as the delivery fan. An
actuator mechanism (63) is provided for retracting the sheet
holder against the spring bias.

Abstract: The method for transmutation of long-lived radioactive isotopes into
short-lived or stable isotopes. 
The invention relates to nuclear physics and can be used for neutralizing
long-lived radioactive isotopes contained, for example, in radioactive
waste (RW) of the nuclear engineering. A radioactive isotope undergoes
exposure to electromagnetic radiation and a deep ionization of the
isotope atoms is performed. Deep ionization of the atoms results in an
energy-permitted expedient B-decay thereof prohibited in a neutral state.
Measures are taken in order to prevent ionized atoms from recombination
with short -lived nucleus. The retention time must be long enough 
to transmit at least a part of the parent nucleus into the short-lived and
stable daughter nucleus. For ensuring a factor k of an operating time of
said daughter nucleus, the retention is performed at least during a time
Ki, i is a life time of the parent nucleus at the expedient B-decay. A
charge-particle beam (electrons, protons or ions) is used for
electromagnetic irradiation. The charge-particle beam irradiation can be
combined with the photon flux irradiation. The intentive method makes it
possible to speed up the transmutation of the long-lived radioactive
isotopes without using nuclear collisional reactions accompanied by the
production of radioactive co-products.
