Abstract: A coaxial-to-coplanar waveguide connector (1) is used for interconnecting stripline compatible devices (25) utilizing coaxial cable (5). The connector (1) is formed at the end of a length of coaxial cable (5) embedded within a circuit board (57). The connector (1) generally has a substantially semi-circular connection section (20). The connection section (20) includes a conductor (35) partly surrounded by an electrically insulative dielectric (40) which is partly surrounded by a shield (45). An electrically conductive sheet is used to couple the shield (45) to a ground plane (18) of the circuit board (57). Electrically conductive ribbon (65) connects the conductor (35) to a stripline compatible device (25). The coaxial-to-coplanar waveguide connector (1) may be fabricated by coating a dielectric board (10) with an adhesive material (17) and then routing a length of miniature coaxial cable (5) in the adhesive (17). Conductive material (18) and dielectric material (19) are consecutively laid upon the dielectric cable board. A portion of the board (57) including a section of miniature coaxial cable (5) is milled so as to remove a top portion of the cable (5). An electrically conductive material (50) is coupled to the coaxial shield (45) in order to connect the shield (45) to a ground plane (18) of the circuit board (57) and the stripline compatible device (25). Furthermore, an additional electrically conductive ribbon (65) is operatively connected from the conductor (35) to the stripline compatible device (25).

Abstract: A sensing technique uses a variable precharge voltage sensing with a single bitline swing in a DRAM cell or array of DRAM cells so that the power dissipation is reduced. The bitline precharge voltage varies from one RAS cycle to the next RAS cycle depending upon the level of the data in the accessed cells. Such an arrangement eliminates the need for a reference voltage generator since the precharge voltage is not the same voltage for each RAS cycle.

Abstract: In biogas reactors of the UASB type, the biogas is separated off from the rising wastewater stream by staggered collection hoods in which a free surface is maintained at which gas transfer takes place. In the known cross-sectional shapes of the collection hoods, the free surface area when the water level is high is greatly decreased and gas transfer is correspondingly greatly hindered. According to the invention, therefore, a rectangular profile having a constant free surface area is utilised. The upper side of the collection hoods can be designed in a roof shape as a sliding surface for the sedimenting anaerobic sludge.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device can reduce a micro-roughness and does not change a construction and electric characteristics of elements formed in the semiconductor device. In the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device including a pre-oxidation process in which an oxide layer is first formed on a silicon wafer, and the oxide layer is secondly eliminated to eliminate impurities on a surface of the silicon wafer, a formation of the oxide layer in the pre-oxidation process is performed in an oxidization atmosphere including H₂O and gas including germanium hydride (german -GeH₄-). Since german (GeH₄) is included in the oxidization atmosphere, it is possible to reduce a softening temperature of the silicon dioxide formed in pre-oxidation, thereby decreasing the micro-roughness on the surface of the silicon wafer. Furthermore, since it is possible to perform the pre-oxidation process in a low temperature and in a short time, there is no change of a construction and electric characteristics of elements formed in the semiconductor device.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for achieving and maintaining data transmission rates in processing system networks, independent of communication between the node and the processing system network, and including techniques for data transmission initialization, data retransmission, and buffer management. Data transmission initialization includes transmitting data packets from a source node over a network at an adaptive exponential transmission rate from a current operating point to an optimal operating point. The optimal operating point is a data transmission rate wherein data buffers are neither overflowing nor under-flowing. Data retransmission includes transmitting data packets at the optimal set point, detecting the loss of a transmitted data packet as a function of a timer-less acknowledgement signal, and retransmitting the lost data packet. Buffer management includes redetermining the optimal operating point in response to unexpected changes in the data transmission bandwidth of the network, wherein detection of such changes is preferably accomplished using a dynamic set point probing procedure.

Abstract: A leadframe that exhibits improved thermal dissipation and that can be incorporated into standard integrated circuit (IC) packages is provided by widening the inner lead portions (26) with respect to the outer lead portions (24) and extending them along a major surface of the IC (28). In the preferred embodiment, the wide inner lead portions (26) cover at least 80 percent of the IC surface and also support the IC (28), eliminating the need for a leadframe paddle. The wide inner lead portions (26) are more efficient at conducting heat away from the IC (28) than prior "standard" width inner lead portions because of the increased thermal contact area between them and the IC (28). Heat from the IC (28) is conducted to the outside of the package via the leads (22) and into the circuit board on which the IC package is mounted. Added thermal dissipation is achieved by making the inner portion (44) of a ground lead (42) wider than the inner portion (26) of any other lead (22). In addition, existing IC package designs that utilize the present leadframe structure can accomodate larger ICs than before because the present leadframe structure has no leadframe paddle to limit the IC (28) size.

Abstract: An accelerated video controller operates in conjunction with a video driver to accelerate certain video operations. If the operating environment requests a polygon operation, the driver (or software on the video controller) will determine whether the specified polygon is simple convex. The determination of whether a convex polygon is simple convex is accomplished by tracing between the vertices of the polygon and comparing the changes in direction relative to a predetermine coordinate axis to a threshold number. If the polygon is simple convex, certain operations can be performed using simpler code or hardware accelerated features. For a polygon fill, if the polygon is simple convex, the edges of the polygon are inspected to determine whether the polygon can be decomposed into a rectangle and a smaller polygon. If so, the video controllers bit engine will be used to perform the fill of the rectangle at high speed, thus reducing the time of the operation.
