Title: Method for manufacturing nitrogen-doped silicon single crystal
Inventor: FURUKAWA JUN
IPC: C30B15/30
Filed: 2006-04-21
Abstract: There is provided an improvement in a method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal in which nitrogen is doped at a rate which is not smaller than 1 × 10 15  atoms/cm 3  and less than 4.5 × 10 15  atoms/cm 3  by pulling up a silicon single crystal 29 from a silicon melt 12 which is stored in a quartz crucible 13 and contains nitrogen, and its characteristic constitution lies in that the single crystal is pulled up while supplying a silicon raw material 23 which does not contain nitrogen into the silicon melt 12 in such a manner that a liquid level position of the silicon melt stored in the quartz crucible is maintained constant in accordance with an amount of growth of the single crystal. An amount of nitrogen contained in a pulled-up silicon single crystal is controlled, and hence a nitrogen concentration can be uniformed along an axial direction of the single crystal. A pull-up length of the silicon single crystal in which nitrogen is doped at a high concentration can be increased.

Abstract: A method of communication or transmission of data between a first and a second node in a wireless multi-hop network comprises bringing the first node and the second node in a fully operative mode for communication with each other and subsequently bringing the first node and the second node in a reduced operative mode where no communication with any other node is possible and, before bringing the second node in the fully operative mode, bringing the second node in a listening mode during a token listening period to check for presence of a wake-up token from the first node, and thereafter bringing the second node into the reduced operative mode if no wake-up token is received, and bringing the second node into the fully operative mode for reception of data from the first node if a wake-up token is received. This wake-up scheme is a kind of scheduled rendezvous scheme with collision avoidance, and may be called an induced wake-up scheme. It is advantageous because of its low power consumption (nodes only wake up completely when a message is present for them to receive) and because of the low latency in data transfer. The wake-up tokens used enable random access to other nodes, nevertheless having a system which is low-power in operation.

Abstract: On the basis of a spreading factor obtained by despreading a control channel of received data by a control channel despreading unit, a spreading factor determination unit determines a transmission rate of the received data. User data subjected to despreading processing at a user data despreading unit is demodulated by a demodulator and temporarily stored in a demodulated data memory. The user data read from the demodulated data memory is decoded by a decoder, whereas the result of decoding by the decoder is supplied to a delay measurement unit, where a delay time relative to the above processing, of the user data is detected. A channel resource management unit manages the number of available resources at all times or in a constant cycle on the basis of transmission rates of respective radio channels detected by the spreading factor determination unit and delay processing times of the respective radio channels detected by the delay measurement unit.

Abstract: A performance data editing system is actualized by a computer system (or electronic musical instrument) which is equipped with a display (14) and a mouse (13). The system initially provides a score window containing various types of execution icon layers (L1-L7) onto which execution icons are attached and arranged in conformity with a progression of a musical tune on a screen of the display. The system provides an icon modify window that allows the user to modify parameters of a specific icon which is selected from among the execution icons attached onto the score window by double clicks of the mouse. Herein, the score window shows a part of a musical score (or a staff notation with notes), while the icon modify window shows an edited portion of the musical score by magnification, wherein a range of execution-related data being edited on the icon modify window is automatically indicated on the musical score of the score window. In addition, modification being effected on a note in the edited portion of the musical score is automatically reflected on note data and/or execution-related data in the performance data. The system also provides an icon select palette that shows latest selections of execution icons which are arranged in an up-to-date manner. The icon select palette shows a number of execution icons which the user frequently or lastly use. Thus, it is possible to improve performability and efficiency in editing performance data by using icons with simple operations and without errors.

Abstract: An automatic digital image grouping system and method for automatically generating groupings of related images based on criteria that includes image metadata and spatial information. The system and method takes an unordered and unorganized set of digital images and organizes and groups related images into image subsets. The criteria for defining an image subset varies and can be customized depending on the needs of the user. Metadata (such as EXIF tags) already embedded inside the images is used to extract likely image subsets. This metadata may include the temporal proximity of images, focal length, color overlap, and geographical location. The first component of the automatic image grouping system and method is a subset image stage that analyzes the metadata and generates potential image subsets containing related images. The second component is an overlap detection stage, where potential image subset is analyzed and verified by examining pixels of the related images.
