Patent EP-0840361-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHEUNG DAVID W
IPC: H01L21/033
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for depositing a
silicon oxide film over an antireflective layer to reduce footing experienced in
the a subsequently applied photoresist layer without substantially altering the
optical qualities of the antireflective layer. The invention thereby provides more
accurate etching of underlying layers during patterning operations. The
invention is also capable of providing more accurate patterning of thin films by
reducing inaccuracies caused by excessive etching of photoresist during
patterning. Additionally, the film of the present invention may be patterned
and used as a mask in the patterning of underlying layers.

Abstract: To remarkably decrease the amount of material for the manufacture
of ink containers and the volume of the ink containers after use, so as to
contribute to the economy of natural resource consumption and solving the
problem of destruction of global environment by the waste of products,
without sacrificing the easiness of handling the ink containers (10A) for printers,
the ink container (10A) for directly storing ink is principally constructed by a thin
walled vessel contractible according to discharge of the ink therefrom, with a
nozzle (20) being connected to an end portion of the vessel,
with a disk handle (28)
being mounted to the nozzle (20), so that the disk handle can be grasped by five
fingers of a hand for carrying the ink container by hand and for removing a
cap (22) therefrom. For the ink container being mounted into a printer, the ink
container is mounted into a reinforcing case with the nozzle and the disk
handle, so that the ink container is handled like the case.
The disk handle (28) is equipped with press claws adapted to engage a portion of the case for
easily guiding the ink container relative to the case and stabilizing the
mounted state of the ink container in the case.

Abstract: In order to provide an image pickup apparatus and an
image pickup recording/reproducing apparatus capable of obtaining
high-picture-quality still images and interlaced
moving images, when an operational-mode switch sets a still-image
mode, a CCD is driven by a driving circuit which outputs
a signal having a frequency obtained by dividing the
frequency of an output of an oscillator by a 1/2 frequency
divider, and three signals shifted by one horizontal period
from each other are obtained from a line memory block. When
the operational-mode switch sets a moving-image mode, the
CCD is driven by the driving circuit which outputs a signal
having the frequency of the oscillator, and four signals,
capable of being interlaced, shifted by one horizontal
period from each other are obtained from the line memory
block.

IPC: G10L19/00

Abstract: Techniques for applying attenuation to audio signal frames in MPEG and
similar compression systems are described, together with a method for mixing
such signals without decompression. Each entry in a data frame (F) has an
associated scale-factor index (SF), identifying a respective entry in a
sequentially arranged and spaced table of scale-factor values. The attenuation
technique (20), which suitably precedes mixing for at least one channel
involves simple addition to scale factor index values to refer to a different scale-factor
value. Respective sub-band data groups from each channel are
compared in terms of their respective scale factors and following scaling the
data for the two groups is added together. The scale-factor table spacing, which
suitable corresponds to a 1dB attenuation, is used for quick scaling of the
results of the addition if overflow is determined to have occurred.

Abstract: A method of controlling minority carrier lifetime in a semiconductor device in which the
density of recombination centers is controlled so that the recombination centers are concentrated
in a thin buffer layer adjacent a blocking layer in one of two bonded wafers. The density is
controlled by misaligning crystal axes of the two wafers or by doping the bonding surface of one
of the wafers before the wafers are bonded. Both methods generate recombination centers in the
thin buffer layer that forms around or adjacent the bonding interface. A semiconductor device
made by this method includes a buffer layer with a significantly higher density of recombination
centers than the adjacent blocking layer.

unique codes respectively assigned thereto, stable and reliable
synchronization and the simplified timing design can be easily

synchronization clock is transmitted to an adjacent node. A local
clock of the node is selected from a plurality of clocks depending

Abstract: A configuration for a SONET transport node comprises a pair of
transparent mux/demuxs provided at two sites and connected over a high rate
span. The T-Muxs provide continuity of all tribs and maintain a lower bit rate
linear or ring system through the higher bit rate span. The lower bit rate linear
or ring system operates as if it were directly connected without the higher bit
rate midsection. For the forward direction of the traffic, the T-Mux comprises a
multichannel receiver for receiving the trib signals and providing for each trib
signal a trib SPE and a trib OH. The trib SPEs are multiplexed into a
supercarrier SPE and the trib OHs signals are processed to generate a
supercarrier OH. A supercarrier transmitter maps the supercarrier SPE and the
supercarrier OH into a supercarrier signal and transmits same over the high rate
span. Reverse operations are effected for the reverse direction of traffic.

fine slices of 8,000 records each, and the fine slices are grouped into coarse slices of 4,000 fine
slices each. The indexes include fine and coarse keys, each of which corresponds to a particular
data value and a particular fine or coarse slice. Associated with each key is a link that is used to
determine which records contain the data value. For the fine keys, the link includes a pointer to a
bit vector that has a single bit for each of the records within the fine slice associated with the key.
For the coarse keys, the link includes a pointer to a bit vector that has a single bit for each of the
fine slices contained in the coarse slice. The coarse bit vector comprises two bit vectors, one that
identifies which of the fine slices within the coarse slice contains any records having the data
value and one that identifies which fine slices, if any, contain the data value in every one of its
records. The keys are stored in a B-tree in order of a unique key value so that they are processed
in record number order and the resulting list of records for any query is generated in record
number order.
