Abstract: On a silicon substrate, a silicon oxide layer, a first
platinum layer, a dielectric film and a second platinum layer are
formed, and then the second platinum layer and the dielectric
film are dry etched, via a resist layer, in a 1-5 Pa low pressure
region with a gas containing hydrocarbon as the etching gas. As
soon as the first platinum layer is exposed, the unetched portion
of dielectric film is etched off in a 5-50 Pa high pressure
region, and then the first platinum layer is dry etched again in
the low pressure region to form a capacitor consisting of a top
electrode, a capacitance insulation layer and a bottom electrode
in a semiconductor integrated circuit chip. Using this
manufacturing method prevents the deterioration in definition
caused by the use of a thick resist and the operation failure of
circuit elements such as transistors due to over etching on the
insulation layer.

Abstract: A package in the form of a box comprises a hollow body (1)
defined by a plurality of walls which include a pivotable
wall (13a) articulated along a peripheral edge (3d) of a
first wall (3) so as to be able to adopt a closed position
and an open position relative to an access opening to the

separable connection means (5d, 5e). The separation of the
hanging portion (14a, 14b) from the body (1) renders the
pivotable wall (13a) independent of the second wall of the
body (5) so that the pivotable wall can adopt the

Abstract: The multiple connector acts as an assembly unit which is fixed by axial bolt to the carried profile to home into the groove (5) of the supporting leg (4). The unit includes a connecting plate which can be moved to shut the bolt and which tips over or rotates round the bolt and which locates behind the undercut edge of the groove in the locking position. Thus plate and bolt work together in this locking position so as to press the carried profile onto the supporting leg and thus press the profile endface against the vertical bearing leg (3) of the supporting profile (1). A vee piece on the bearing leg (2) forms the longitudinal edges of the groove (5) and a cylindrical shaft of the bolt engages a slot in the lever plate acting as connector. A pin parallel to profile (1) at the bottom end of the shaft bears on the lever plate which in turn is angled on the side facing the vee piece so as to engage the sloping face (6.1) of the vee piece. Thus in or prior to the locking position, one slot endface bears on the shaft so as to apply tension to the lever plate end furthest from the angled plate part.

Abstract: A convolutional decoder for decoding received symbols in a communication system
includes a branch metric calculator, and add-compare-select engine and a traceback unit.
The branch metric calculator computes branch metrics for transitions in a trellis
representative of a convolutional code used to generate the symbols. In accordance with
the invention, the branch metrics are computed from an offset binary representation of the
symbols using an inverse likelihood function, such that the resulting path metrics grow at
a smaller rate and therefore require less memory. The add-compare-select engine
processes path metrics generated from the branch metrics so as to determine a selected
path through at least a portion of the trellis, and may utilize a state-serial architecture
which computes path metrics for  k  states of a given stage of the trellis per clock cycle,
using branch metrics obtained from  k -sets of registers in the branch metric calculator. The
traceback unit generates a sequence of decoded bits from the selected path, and may be
configured to include a staging register and a traceback memory. The staging register
receives selected path information from the add-compare-select engine, and the contents
of the staging register for a given stage of the trellis are loaded into the traceback memory
when the staging register becomes full, at a location given by a number of the stage
modulo a predetermined traceback length.

Abstract: An interface between the end of a bolster (16) and
a side frame column (17,19) for a three-piece railcar
bogie assembly is disclosed. The bolster (16) and side
frame (12) have several pairs of facing stop surfaces at
the interface. Each pair of facing stop surfaces are at
two different spacings: one spacing is close, with a
small gap (86') between the stop surfaces; another
spacing (114) is greater than the first. The second
spacing (114) allows the side frame (12) to pitch with
respect to the bolster (16) transverse axis. The
bolster stop surfaces may be the lands inboard and
outboard of the friction shoe pockets. The lands may be
shaped so that there is a raised warp control portion or
surface (49) and one or more relief portions or surfaces

portions (128) allow for side frame articulation as the
bogie traverses track at different elevations. The
