IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a probe which
outputs RF signals. There are N phase detectors for converting the
RF signals outputted from the probe into baseband signals In and
Qn, where "N" denotes a first predetermined natural number and "n"
denotes a second predetermined natural number set as 2≤n≤N. A
reception beam former operates for processing the baseband signals
In and Qn into a time-division-multiplexed signal. The reception
beam former includes a device for multiplying the baseband signals
In and Qn by phase shift data to generate multiplication-resultant
signals, a device for delaying the multiplication-resultant signals to
generate delay-resultant signals, and a device for combining the
delay-resultant signals into the time-division-multiplexed signal.

Abstract: High through-put Cu CMP is achieved with reduced
erosion and dishing by a multi-step polishing
technique. Deposited Cu (13) is polished with fixed
abrasive polishing pads initially at a high removal
rate and subsequently at a reduced removal rate and
high Cu: barrier layer (ta) (12) selectively. Buffing
is then conducted to remove the barrier layer.
Embodiments of the present invention include reducing
dishing by: controlling platen rotating speeds;
increasing the concentration of active chemicals; and
cleaning the polishing pads between wafers.
Embodiments also include removing particulate material
during CMP by increasing the flow rate of the chemical
agent or controlling the static etching rate between
about 100 and about 150A per minute, and recycling the
chemical agent. Embodiments further include flowing
and inhibitor across the wafer surface after each CMP
step to reduce the static etching rate.

Abstract: A hand-manipulated prop is picked-up via a single
video camera, and the camera image is analyzed to isolate
the part of the image pertaining to the object for mapping
the position and orientation of the object into a three-dimensional
space, wherein the three-dimensional description
of the object is stored in memory and used for controlling
action in a game program, such as rendering of a
corresponding virtual object in a scene of a video display.
Algorithms for deriving the three-dimensional descriptions
for various props employ geometry processing, including area
statistics, edge detection and/or color transition
localization, to find the position and orientation of the
prop from two-dimensional pixel data. Criteria are proposed
for the selection of colors of stripes on the props which
maximize separation in the two-dimensional chrominance color
space, so that instead of detecting absolute colors,
significant color transitions are detected. Thus, the need
for calibration of the system dependent on lighting
conditions which tend to affect apparent colors can be
avoided.

Abstract: A first resistive element (2a) and a second resistive
element (2b) are serially connected to each other, and a
contact element (4) having a lower resisitivity than the
first resistive element elastically contacts the first
resistive element. The resistance between both ends of the
first resistive element varies with the contact area between
the first resistive element and the contact element. When a
predetermined voltage is applied to the first and the second
resistive elements, an output voltage, which corresponds to
the resistance ratio of the first resistive element to the
second resistive element, is obtained from a conductive
pattern. When the resistance ratio of the first resistive
element to the second resistive element is set in the range
of 1 to 3, the linearity is improved and a wide variation
range of the output voltage is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting an impending
fault condition of feeder or faulted feeder or feeder branch.
The feeder may be configured in a radial or ring-connected
manner. The network may have a grounding system that is of
the isolated-neutral, resonant-ground or high-resistance-grounded
type. In the method at the substation of the network
are measured the zero-sequence voltages ( U   01  and  U   02 ) with
their phase angles, the line-to-neutral voltages ( U   v ) with their
phase angles and the sum currents ( I   0i ) with their phase
angles. The method is based on monitoring the absolute value
of the zero-sequence voltage change vector (Δ U   0 ). According
to the method, the change of the zero-sequence voltage is
computed under a change condition of the network and the
change is compared with a predetermined threshold value
|   U     02  -    U     01 | ≥  U   0     k   . If the detected change of the zero-sequence
voltage exceeds the threshold value, the
identification of the faulted feeder or feeder branch is started.
According to the invention, the faulted feeder or feeder
branch is identified from the direction of change in the sum
current. More specifically, the fault identification is based on
the detection of the direction of change in the reactive or real
component of the sum current of the affected feeder. An
alternative technique is to monitor the sign of the imaginary part
 
of the line-to-ground admittance, whereby a
negative sign indicates an unfaulted state of the feeder, while
a positive sign indicates a faulted feeder.
