Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises contact pads
located over active components, which are positioned to minimize
the distance for power delivery between a selected pad and one
or more corresponding active components, to which the power is
to be delivered. This minimum distance further enhances
dissipation of thermal energy released by the active components. 
     More specifically, a semiconductor integrated circuit
comprises a laterally organized power transistor, an array of
power supply contact pads distributed over the transistor, means
for providing a distributed, predominantly vertical current flow
from the contact pads to the transistor, and means for
connecting a power source to each of the contact pads.
Positioning the power supply contact pads directly over the
active power transistor further saves precious silicon real
estate area. The means for vertical current flow include
contact pads made of a stack of metal layers comprising
refractory metals for adhesion, copper and nickel as stress-absorbing
metals, and gold or palladium as bondable and
solderable outermost metals. The means for connecting a power
source include wire bonding and solder ball interconnection.

Abstract: A controller and media-reader are used to identify various physical or logical
characteristics of data stored on a pre-recorded medium. These characteristics may
include, e.g., the kind of medium, the kind of data, the way the data is segmented or
separated, the size of any data segments, the total amount of data or physical size of
the medium carrying the data. A controller then compares the identified set of
characteristics to stored sets of characteristics which are associated with respective
content-identifiers. A successful comparison yields content-identifiers applicable to
the data stored on the pre-recorded medium. These content identifiers may be, e.g.,
information identifying the titles and length of audio or video programs included on
the media. The stored sets of characteristic and content identifiers may be located at
a remote site.

Abstract: Knocking is recognized when a processed knocking signal exceeds a reference level. Reference levels are determined individually for each cylinder and an increase in the reference level is limited as soon as the reference level exceeds a preset reference range or the rate of increase of the noise level exceeds a threshold. The reference range and the rate of increase thresholds are determined from the noise signals from the other cylinders. The thresholds are set by determining average values from the other cylinders.

IPC: G08G1/095

Abstract: The present invention demonstrates that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have electrical characteristics that can be used to dramatically reduce the complexity and cost of the traffic signaling equipment needed to control the array of signals to give the right of way to the vehicles in a given intersection. This also enhances the energy saving features of LEDs by relocating the power source to the traffic signal control system and the electric conditioning devices to the signal position, increasing the energy efficiency of the whole intersection. One benefit is "intrinsic safety' based on a method for power distribution to the signals that does not allow failure modes that could cause accidents. The system ensures that simultaneous green or yellow signals on crossed streets are impossible even though the signals are connected to the same power lines, allowing also the use of a bus connection topology with a command driven control of the ON/OFF state for each individual light or signal. This "phase conflict prevention' is safer and simpler than the prior art and also eliminates the need of the independent monitoring equipment usually required to prevent such hazardous conditions. Also there is a large reduction in the number of wires resulting in even greater controller simplicity due to the ability of controlling a larger number of signals with a given number of electric conductors than in the prior art.
