Abstract: Absolute engine position sensing is provided by monitoring the temporal relationship of energization of multiple spark plugs (46,48) sharing a common source (40) of drive energy in a direct ignition application. The spark plugs (46,48) are connected across the source (40) with opposing electrical polarity, and the relative time of discharge across the plugs (46,48) is compared by sensing the time and polarity of high speed transient activity in proximity to the source (40), and thereby the position of the engine.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a first conductive film (4) made of, for example, polysilicon is formed on the element region of the semiconductor substrate. An insulation film (5) is formed on the semiconductor substrate, for covering at least the first conductive film. A second conductive film (6) covers at least the end portion of the insulation film. The first conductive film is used as a gate electrode of the MOS transistor, and the second conductive film (6) is used as a protection film for covering and protecting the end portion of the insulation film and a lead-out electrode of the bipolar transistor. The end portion of the insulation film (5) is covered and protected by the second conductive film obtained by patterning the conductive layer made of, for example, polysilicon. Further, the conductive layer is patterned so that stepped portions formed on the insulation film (5) and the end portion of the insulation film are covered, and using this pattern, anisotropic etching is carried out. Thus, formation of residue on the side-wall of the second conductive film, on the stepped portions formed as covering the first conductive film, can be avoided. In a later step, the pattern of the second conductive film which covers the stepped portion is removed by etching.

Abstract: A high speed slicing machine (50) feeds one, two, or more food loaves (91) along parallel loaf paths into a slicing station (66) for slicing by one cyclically driven knife blade; the slices are stacked or shingled in groups (92,93) on a receiving conveyor (64) located below the slicing station (66). Independent loaf feed drives are provided; slices cut from one loaf may be thicker than slices from the other. The machine may combine manual and automated food loaf loading mechanisms that share a central barrier used only during loading. The automated loaf loading mechanism (75) has a sweep to push loaves onto the loaf paths. There are grippers each loaf path; each has a loaf feed drive that impels the gripper toward the slicing station and then moves it back to a home position. Each loaf feed drive also includes two "short" conveyors.

Abstract: A system for controlling the intensity of a lamp including a remote sensing device for detecting the presence of an occupant within an area. The device also transmits a signal based on the currently sensed presence of the occupant. After each transmission of an occupancy signal, the device is inhibited from further transmission for a first predetermined period of time to limit power consumption requirements by the battery powered device. The system also includes a light controller responsive to the transmitted occupancy signal for controlling the level of illumination by the lamp. In the absence of a transmitted occupancy signal within a second predetermined period of time, the light controller will instruct the ballast to reduce the level of illumination by the lamp. In the absence of an occupancy signal being transmitted within a third predetermined time period, the light controller will instruct the ballast to turn off the lamp.

Abstract: The invention provides for an oscillator circuit (30) having an amplifier (32) and a feedback loop (34) which multiplies a generated signal by appropriate selection of capacitance (C1, C2, Co) ratios in the feedback loop (34). In order to isolate this multiplied, high voltage signal, a voltage divider (C1, C2) is used to isolate the high voltage portion from the input (36) and output (38) (I/O) of an integrated circuit oscillator core (32). The multiplied voltage creates a high voltage signal suitable for stylus signal transmission. The divided, and relatively low, voltage is used in the feedback path (34) to stabilize the operation of the oscillator core (32).

Abstract: A method and system for calculating the effective fuel economy of a fuel-consuming engine in a vehicle is disclosed. The effective fuel economy is calculated taking into consideration the chemical energy contained in the fuel and the change in kinetic energy of the vehicle (42). The effective fuel economy is also calculated by further considering the change in potential energy of the vehicle (60). The chemical energy contained in the fuel is determined by sensing the mass flow rate of fuel (52). The kinetic energy (56) is determined by sensing the change in the speed of the vehicle and the mass of the vehicle (50). The potential energy (58) is determined by sensing the change in elevation of the vehicle (50). The effective fuel economy is displayed to the operator of the vehicle (64).

Abstract: A code sequence generator having a register (5) for holding n-bit code, and a calculation circuit (6) for performing matrix calculation on the content of the register (5), and sequentially generating a code sequence by feeding back the calculation results to the register. The matrix which is set in the calculation circuit (6) is changed by selectively reading a matrix from a memory circuit (7) that stores precalculated matrices. This makes it possible to set a desired register state in a short time even if the desired code sequence is very long, and to generate any code sequences without changing the rate of a clock signal.

Abstract: A method of forming shallow trench isolation with a nitride liner layer for devices in integrated circuits solves a problem of recessing the nitride liner that led to unacceptable voids in the trench filler material by using a liner thickness of less than 5nm. A densification step of a pyrogenic oxide anneal at 800°C not only drives out impurities and achieves the same density as a conventional argon anneal at 1000°C, but also drastically reduces the thermal load. Trenches (50) are formed as standard in a silicon substrate (10) using a conventional SiO₂ /Si₃N₄ passivation layer (20/30). Then a thin layer (52) of thermal oxide is provided on the trench sidewalls. Fig. 2 illustrates the results of a step according to a thin layer (32) of LPCVD nitride is deposited at a pressure of 200 mTorr with a flow of NH₃:SiH₂C1₂ 10:1 for 2 minutes at 770°C. This layer has been discovered to be immune to the recessing problem. 
     An oxide liner (60) made of TEOS SiO₂ is then deposited. The structure is annealed and the TEOS SiO₂ is classified. Finally the structure is planarized and the passivation layer removed. As apparent from the drawings, there is no longer any recess in the LPCVD nitride layer.

Abstract: A field memory (51) stores convergence adjusting data which corresponds to a plurality of points on a display screen. An interpolation calculation circuit (60) creates interpolation convergence adjusting data for correction points located between adjacent adjusting points, using a plurality of adjusting data items and interpolation coefficients. The output of the interpolation calculation circuit (60) is subjected to digital/analog conversion and passed through a low-pass filter, thereby forming a convergence correction signal. This correction signal is supplied to each deflection coil. At the time of creating interpolation adjusting data for a point located between adjusting points, an optimal interpolation coefficient is output from a ROM (2) or a ROM (3), depending upon whether the point is included in the odd or even field.
