Title: Forming connections in semiconductor devices
Inventor: CHOE HYUN-CHEOL
IPC: H01L27/105
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: The semiconductor device such as a dram cell comprises a gate electrode 3 having a first spacer formed on its sidewalls. Active regions 20 which are spaced apart from each other by the gate electrode 3 are formed in the semiconductor substrate. A bitline 10 having a second spacer 12 formed on its sidewalls, is formed over the gate electrode 3 and the active regions 20. A self-aligned contact (h) (Fig. 11B) is formed on the active regions 20 and a first pad electrode (13') (Fig. 12B) with the active region 20 through the contact (h) is formed between the bitlines 10. A bitline contact (H) (Fig. 13D) is formed on the bitline 10, and second and third pad electrodes (15 and 15') (Fig. 16C), which are respectively connected with the bitline 10 and the first pad electrode (13') through the bitline contact (H), are formed on the bitline 10. Thus, the alignment tolerances of the bitline contact and the storage-node contact are maximized, so that a reliable semiconductor device can be realized. <IMAGE>

Title: Electromagnetic alignment and scanning apparatus
Inventor: EBIHARA AKIMITSU
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: An apparatus capable of high accuracy position and motion control is disclosed and utilizes one or more linear commutated motors (54A, 54B, Fig. 5, not shown) to move a guideless stage (14) in one long linear direction and a small rotation in a plane. A carrier/follower (60) holding a single voice coil motor (VCM) (70) is controlled to approximately follow the stage in the direction of the linear motion. The VCM provides an electro-magnetic force to move the stage for small displacements in the plane in a linear direction perpendicular to the direction of the linear motion to ensure proper alignment. One element of the linear commutated motors is mounted on a freely suspended drive assembly frame (22) which is moved in the opposite direction to that of the stage by a reaction force to maintain the center of gravity of the apparatus. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-953407-A (GB)
Abstract: 953,407. Measuring displacement electrically. A.V.ROE & CO. Ltd. Nov. 19, 1962 [Nov. 17, 1961], No.41322/61. Heading G1N. Apparatus for measuring an angular or linear displacement comprises a magnetic bridge circuit with A.C. flux fed in across one diagonal and a pick-up coil is the other diagonal, the flux being normally evenly distributed between the four arms of the bridge by adjustment of short-circuited turns whose displacement from the null position is measured by the output from the pick-up coil. As shown (Figs. 2A, 2C), the bridge consists of a core 12 forming a double closed loop, the centre limb 13 carrying a pick-up coil 14 made in two halves which are joined in series aiding. The centres of the outer limbs of core 12 face the poles of a C- shaped core 10 carrying an energizing winding 11 also made in two halves joined in series aiding. A short-circuited turn 17 is located in the air gap 15 between each pole of the core 10 and the centres of the outer limbs of core 12, the positions of turns 17 being initially adjusted so that the flux is evenly distributed around the core 12, with no flux through the centre limb 13. The turns 17 are symmetrically attached or a rotatable member 18 whose subsequent angular rotation produces a differential unbalance of the flux distribution and is measured by the magnitude and phase sense of the signal voltage picked up in coil 14. The Specification also describes a known displacement pick-off (Fig. 1) comprising an E-type transformer whose armature consists of a shorted turn 5, normally located centrally in an air gap 6 at one end of the centre limb 2, thereby dividing the flux equally between the two outer limbs 8, 9.

Title: Selecting the operating frequency of a computer
Inventor: LIN WEN-CHUNG
IPC: G06F1/08
Filed: 1996-11-02
Abstract: The operating frequency of a computer host board 10 is set under program control by a user, by means of a selection controller 20 and the computer screen, rather than by conventional jumpers. At power-on the default frequency of clock generator 11 and the default clock-multiplier factor in board 10 are both low. They can be changed to higher values by the computer outputting data and a specific address over bus 201. The address is recognised by a decoder 36 which causes the data to be held in a latch 33. The data controls, over lines 101 and 102, the clock-multiplier factor and clock generator 11, respectively. Latch 34 resets the computer whenever the operating frequency is changed.

Filed: 1995-08-08
Abstract: An average temperature sensor designed for use in an air conditioning unit, wherein the air conditioning unit has a high pressure region and a low pressure region, and a method for making an average temperature measurement. The average temperature sensor senses the average temperature of air flowing in the high pressure region and comprises a device for conveying a flow of air that is in fluid communication with the high pressure region. A temperature sensor is disposed in a temperature sensing relationship to the device for conveying the flow of air. The high pressure in the high pressure region induces a flow of air in the device for conveying a flow of air. This flow of air flows from the high pressure region to the low pressure region and is at the average temperature of the air in the high pressure region. The device for conveying the flow of air includes a plurality of air inlets selectively disposed within the high pressure region to receive a sample flow of air that has a temperature that is representative of the average temperature of the air flowing in the high pressure region.

Title: Synchronous semiconductor memory device
Inventor: TOMITA HIROYOSHI
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises at least one synchronous semiconductor memory (102, Fig 1) and a control device (101) for performing data input/output to and from the semiconductor memory, wherein the control device outputs data DQ to be stored in the semiconductor memory, synchronously with a first synchronizing signal CLK that the control device outputs, and the semiconductor memory delivers output data DQ therefrom synchronously with a second synchronizing signal DS that the semiconductor memory outputs. The semiconductor memory incorporates an output phase shift circuit 30 which introduces a prescribed phase angle between the output data DQ and second synchronizing signal, and provisions are made so that at the semiconductor memory the output data and the second synchronizing signal are controlled precisely at the prescribed phase angle with respect to each other, and so that a latch pulse can be immediately generated at the controller upon reception of a data strobe signal DS. Such a semiconductor memory can therefore operate at a higher speed owing to a reduced margin required when reading data from the SDRAM.

Title: Optical modulator
Inventor: CLARINGBURN HARRY RICHARD
IPC: H04B10/50
Filed: 1998-01-06
Abstract: A method of operating an optical modulator in a synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) telecommunications network where the SDH network is of a type in which data is transmitted using an optical modulator with an optical attenuation versus voltage response which is cyclic and which includes an input to which the application of a bias voltage moves the modulator's response along the voltage axis. The method comprises generating a bias voltage; detecting the modulator's response and adjusting the bias voltage to maintain the modulator's response at a desired voltage position; detecting when the bias voltage approaches the limit of available bias voltage range; and resetting the bias voltage during an overhead portion of the SDH format by an amount corresponding to one or more half cycles of the modulator's response. The bias voltage may be reset during transmission of the first overhead portion of an SDH frame.
