Abstract: A semiconductor switch is provided with fast turn-off characteristics by the mechanism
of rapid recombination of minority carriers within a charge injecting region of the device. The
region itself, or a portion of each of a plurality of parallelconnected such regions, comprises a
body of highly doped polycrystalline silicon comprising tiny mono-crystalline grains of silicon
joined at boundaries between the grains. The grain boundaries provide deep level energy traps
for the capture and rapid annihilation, by recombination, of minority carriers within the
polycrystalline body. An electrode is ohmically contacted with the one or each polycrystalline
silicon body for efficient injection of majority carriers into the body.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for coordinating and facilitating commercial transactions uses an electronic transaction facilitator to coordinate and facilitate commercial transactions between various parties to all or part of a transaction. The electronic transaction facilitator receives electronic transaction information from the various parties to the transaction, preferably via electronic mail. The electronic transaction information may be transmitted using secure measures, and may be capable of authentication as to the transaction information, the provider of the transaction information, and whether the provider is authorized to provide the transaction information. The electronic transaction facilitator determines the type of transaction, the types of electronic transaction information required to complete the transaction, and whether sufficient electronic transaction information is available to complete the transaction. The electronic transaction facilitator may wait for additional electronic transaction information or actively solicit additional electronic transaction information in order to obtain sufficient electronic transaction information to complete the transaction. The electronic transaction facilitator processes the electronic transaction information when there is sufficient electronic transaction information to complete the transaction. Processing the electronic transaction information may involve authenticating the transaction information, authenticating the provider of the transaction information, and verifying that the provider is authorized to provide the transaction information. The electronic transaction facilitator may generate instructions to a settlement system in order to effect funds transfers. The electronic transaction facilitator may provide any of a variety of value-add services that can be selected by the payor and/or payee for a fee.

Abstract: The output bitrate of an MPEG-2 video encoder depends on the
source data rate, the content or detail or degree of motion
in the source pictures, the prediction type and on quantiser
settings. The control of the encoder output bitrate is based
on the filling level of a buffer containing VLC words. Corresponding
to the actual filling level of this VLC buffer
the quantiser settings are adapted in order to achieve a
constant-bitrate encoder output. DVD-RAM devices are now on
the market that are capable of storing such MPEG-2 video encoded
video sequences. The bitrate control algorithm used
has a severe impact on the achievable visual picture quality
of the encoded video sequence. Therefore the current filling
levels of two further buffers in the processing chain are
additionally taken into account for the bitrate control: for
the application with DVD-RAM, the mechanical buffer of a DVD
recorder and the therein loaded DVD-RAM disc itself. The bitrate
control scheme is mainly applied to the quantiser settings
or characteristics.

is applied on a master arm (37) by a preload spring (39). Thereafter,
when the sub arm (37) is further pivoted, the master arm (37) follows
the sub arm (36) and a shift drum (19) is pivoted via index pins
(35). Since the preload is applied, when the clutch is disengaged,

Abstract: First, a pattern inspection apparatus detects the
first edge from an image of a pattern to-be-inspected.
Next, the pattern inspection apparatus conducts matching
of the image of the pattern to-be-inspected and the first
reference pattern by comparing the first edge and an edge
of the first reference pattern. Since, as a result of the
matching, a shift quantity S 1  can be obtained, and then
the first reference pattern is shifted by this shift
quantity S 1  . Subsequently the pattern to-be-inspected is
inspected by comparing the first edge and the edge of the
first reference pattern so shifted. In this first
inspection, pattern deformation quantities are obtained
and defects are detected. A shift quantity S 2  can be
obtained as one of the pattern deformation quantities.
Next, in order to detect the second edge from the pattern
image to-be-inspected, the corresponding second reference
pattern is shifted by a shift quantity S 1  + S 2  . Using the
second reference pattern so shifted, a profile is obtained
on the pattern image to-be-inspected and the second edge
is detected. Then, by comparing the second edge and the
edge of the second reference pattern so shifted, the
pattern to-be-inspected is inspected. Also in this second
inspection, the pattern deformation quantities are
obtained and defects are detected. A shift quantity S 3  can
be obtained as one of the pattern deformation quantities.
