Patent EP-0910120-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HASE TAKASHI
IPC: H01B3/12
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: The surface of a Si substrate is coated with a lower electrode of precious metal
(Pt), then a buffer layer comprising an oxide thin film containing Bi is deposited. On
the surface of the buffer layer, a thin film of a Bi layer structured ferroelectric
substance is formed. Thus, reaction of the Bi layer structured ferroelectric
substance with the precious metal coating the Si substrate is avoided during
crystallization carried out at a low temperature. Therefore, deviation in composition
of the thin film thus formed is suppressed to provide the thin film with a high
density. When the thickness of the buffer layer is not greater than five percent of
that of the Bi layer structured ferroelectric thin film, electrical characteristics of a
capacitor are not deteriorated. When electrical connection is conducted by
polycrystalline Si, production of oxide can be avoided by deposition at 650°C.

Abstract: In a digital receiver (2), an input signal is processed by a tuner (4), a filter (6) and a demodulator (8) which derives quadrature signals I and Q. The quadrature signals I and Q are sampled with a fixed sample rate fSAMPLE. The sample rate converter (14) derives output signals IO and QO having a sample frequency equal to twice the symbol frequency. The output signals of the sample rate converter (14) are filtered by a square root Nyquist filter (30, 32). In order to prevent aliasing, anti-aliasing filters (22, 24) are used. According to the inventive concept the transition band of the anti-aliasing filters (22, 24) lies within the range fB and 2fSYMBOL-fB. This relatively wide transition band allows a considerable reduction of the complexity of the anti-aliasing filters (22, 24).

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to further improve the closed cycle for generating electric power in such a way that efficiency is enhanced and general pressure and temperature requirements regarding the working fluid used are substantially reduced. The invention also seeks to provide an improved technical solution that meets the requirements of continuos operation at rated output despite fluctuations in load requirements. This is achieved through a multistep steam power operating method for generating electric power in a cycle by using an additional gaseous energy carrier to increase the pressure, the temperature and the volume of the working fluid in the cycle and by recirculating the working fluid in the cycle in such a way that continuously overheated steam is used as a working fluid. The invention can be used in the generation of electric power in a cycle.

Abstract: In a CDMA transmission, a quality of each symbol of
a frame is held constant by interleaving spread chip, while
overhead and interference amounts in other cells are reduced

transmission power is decreased by discontinuing
transmission at the time the quality is satisfied, thereby
increasing the system capacity. Furthermore, it is
possible to achieve more remarkable effect by performing

Abstract: The present invention comprises a flash memory (14)
or similar nonvolatile memory circuit (14) characterised
by a constitution that enables read operations in two
modes, a clock-synchronous burst read mode and a
clock-asynchronous normal read mode, the device being
set to normal read mode in response to power on, and
being set to the burst read mode in response to a control
signal instructing the burst read mode. The memory
device includes a burst mode switching circuit (39)
internally. This burst mode switching circuit (39) sets
an output circuit to normal read mode in response to
the power ON so as to enable read operations not
synchronized with the clock after the power ON. In
response to a burst mode control signal (35) provided by
the system, the burst mode switching circuit (39) sets the
output circuit to the burst read mode. Thus, the system
can perform the burst read to the nonvolatile memory
device (14) under an environment similar to
conventional main memory access.
