Title: Dialling plan analysis and cleanup
Inventor: GOPALAKRISHNA MOHANA KRISHNAN
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 2010-03-26
Abstract: A method to enable a user to administer a dialing plan or plans. The disclosed private-branch exchange, or other type of telephone exchange or switch, analyzes the dialing plan that it uses and then makes a recommendation for the dialing plan. In order to analyze the dialing plan, the private-branch exchange (PBX) considers the usage characteristics of one or more number-consuming objects, which includes the telephone numbers associated with the dialing plan. The PBX then identifies, for possible deletion, a list of inactive or underutilized objects such as unused telephone numbers. In some embodiments, the PBX can anticipate the future availability of telephone numbers based on the usage characteristics that were part of the analysis. In at least some of those embodiments, the PBX is able to construct a dialing plan tree and identify a revised dialing plan.

Title: Paper cap
Inventor: KIM YEONG-LEUL
IPC: A47G19/00
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a paper cup and a paper cap which comprises a top plate and a side wall that is installed downward around the edge of the top plate, wherein the side wall is reinforced with reinforcing materials. The paper cup can be tightly covered with the cap by preventing the cap from being damaged through the reinforcing materials. Therefore, the cap is not easily separated from the cup. Furthermore, the invention provides a paper cup having a housing portion formed between the top plate and the upper end of the inner side of the reinforcing material. Since the housing portion houses and holds the rim of the upper end of the cup, firmcoupling between the cap and the cup is enabled. Therefore, the paper cap is not easily separated from the cup and enables the prevention of overflow of drinks in the cup even if the cup is shaken.

Title: Method of manufacturing high resistance nitride buffer layers comprising high carbon impurity concentrations
Inventor: OHNO AKIHITO
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 2012-01-20
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device includes, forming a high-resistance buffer layer made of a nitride semiconductor having carbon concentration controlled to 1018cm-3 or above on a semiconductor substrate by an MOCVD method using an organic metal compound as a group III raw material and using a hydrazine derivative as a group V raw material; and forming a nitride semiconductor layer having a resistance value lower than the high-resistance buffer layer on the high-resistance buffer layer. In one embodiment the substrate is Silicon Carbide SiC 1 and the high resistance buffer layer on the substrate comprises AlN (aluminium nitride) with a carbon concentration of 1018cm-3 or above. An electron transit Gallium Nitride GaN layer is grown on top of the AlN high resistance buffer layer, and an AlGaN electron supply layer is grown on top of the GaN layer. Source, gate and drain contacts are then placed on top of the AlGaN layer. Of importance is the growth method of the high resistance nitride buffer layer which is grown by MOCVD crystal growth involving combining group III materials such as Trimethyl Gallium (TMG), Trimethyl Indium TMI or Trimethyl Aluminium TMA with group V materials Dimthylhydrazine (UDMHy). In another embodiment for the group V materials UDMHy and Ammonium gas are mixed and the relative molar concentrations lead to varying carbon concentration (figure 2). Another embodiment uses silicon as a substrate and uses a periodic layered structure of AlN and GaN layers to reduce the effects of lattice mismatches and help eliminate cracks in the FET. The high resistance nitride buffer layer reduces leakage currents and improves the voltage breakdown capability in devices such as field effect transistors FETs.
