Title: Method of making a self-aligned silicide
Inventor: LIN TONY
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1997-08-01
Abstract: A method of making a MOS device comprising a self-aligned silicide layer 31 and an impurity diffusion region 29 in a lower part of the source/drain regions 23a adjacent to an isolating region 24, includes over-etching (Figure 2B) the isolating regions 24 to expose the surface of the source/drain regions. Ion implantation (Figure 2C) at a large tilt angle increases the junction depth of the source/drain regions and prevents the metallic silicide lying at the edge of the isolating region from getting too close to the source/drain junction and causing unwanted current leakages. The silicide layer can thus be formed over the exposed source/drain surfaces, resulting in more surface area for the formation of a wide border contact window 34, resulting in a lowering of both contact resistance and sheet resistance.

Title: Process for producing material with hydrophilic surface
Inventor: ZHANG HUSHENG
IPC: D06M14/28
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a material having hydrophilic surface which comprises forming a hydrophobic photopolymerizable composition comprising a hydrophobic compound (a) having two or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds per molecule and a photopolymerization initiator into a desired form and irradiating the resultant shape (b) with actinic rays while keeping the surface of the shape (b) in contact with a hydrophilic liquid (d) containing a hydrophilic compound (c) having one or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds, under such conditions that a photopolymerization reaction is prevented from occurring in the hydrophilic liquid (d) except at the interface between the liquid (d) and the shape (b), whereby the shape (b) is cured and, at the same time, the hydrophobic compound (a) is copolymerized with the hydrophilic compound (c) at the interface between the shape (b) and the hydrophilic liquid (d) to chemically bond molecules of the hydrophilic compound (c) to the surface of the hydrophobic shape (b). The process is advantageous in that the kind and density of hydrophilic groups can be easily controlled and the structure and properties inherent in the material formed from the photopolymerizable composition are not impaired.

Title: Scheduling cells in a static ATM priority scheduler
Inventor: KIM DEOG-NYOUN
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: ATM cells from virtual channels VC having different priorities are held 100 for a calculated holding time so as to emerge R 1-N  in corresponding priority order, and are stored in corresponding FIFO queues 210 each having an empty flag output EF which controls a corresponding switch 250 of a fixed priority chain so as to connect the output of the highest priority queue that is not empty to a transmitter/next node of the network and to disconnect any lower priority queues therefrom.

Title: Method of forming contacts to semiconductor device regions
Inventor: THOMSON JAMES
IPC: H01L29/739
Filed: 1997-12-24
Abstract: An IGBT has an emitter contact 10 contacting a recessed emitter region B through insulator layer 9. The gate contact 40 extends through insulating layer 9 and insulating layer 14. The openings in insulator layer 9 for the emitter and gate contacts are formed during a first etch process step. The opening in insulator 14 for the gate contact is formed during a second etch process step. In the event of mis-alignment between the emitter contact hole formed in insulating layer 9 and the emitter recess B, short circuits between emitter contact 10 and gate layer 12 are prevented by insulator layer 14. The technique is also applicable to MOSFET and MCT devices.
Patent GB-2321538-A (GB)
Title: Irrigation control
Inventor: ROLFE GERALD
IPC: A01G25/16
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: Water content of the land is detected using a sensor, such as a buried, inflated bag 8, which senses the pressure or weight of the soil above it and communicates with an adjustable pressure switch 14. To ensure that the soil is in proper contact with the sensor, vertically-reciprocable plate 9 is used to disturb the soil to stop it getting compacted in dry conditions. Signals from the sensor switch 14 stop irrigation by controlling valve 16 when the water content is above a certain level and start irrigation by controlling the valve when the water content is below a certain level. The plate (29) may alternatively be hinged and reciprocated by a cam (Fig 2 not shown) or the sensor may be an airtight container (64) with a flexible top surface (65) which is reciprocated by cam means (73, Fig 4 not shown).
Patent GB-2324392-A (GB)
Title: Decreasing thread switch latency in a multithread processor
Inventor: FLYNN WILLIAM THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1998-02-23
Abstract: Instructions for an active thread, currently being processed by a multithread processor, are stored in a primary instruction queue 10, and instructions for a dormant thread, not currently being executed, are stored in a thread switch instruction queue 14. During execution of the active thread, instructions are dispatched from the primary instruction queue for processing. When a thread switch occurs, instructions are dispatched from the thread switch instruction queue for execution. Simultaneously, instructions stored in the thread switch queue are transferred to the primary instruction queue. Use of the additional, thread switch instruction queue eliminates the thread switch latency resulting from the amount of time to refill the primary instruction queue with instructions of the dormant thread.

Abstract: An automatic railless ground conveyor installation incorporating a passive guide track determining the route network and individual driverless or unmanned traveling conveyor cars, each of which possesses a steering mechanism which scans in a contactless manner the guide track and a work control mechanism. The work control mechanism, by means of a code reader, scans in a contactless manner individual code markings arranged at junctions or branches and directly influences the steering mechanism in the sense of reaching a target or destination determined by a target code set at the work control mechanism. In front of each branch or junction a partial section of the guide track or a corresponding interruption thereof serves as continuous branch code track, the length of which indicates the code of the branch. The work control mechanism possesses a length measuring device which measures the length of the branch code track as well as a comparator which is operatively coupled with the steering mechanism and compares the measured branch code track length with a target code of a target code mechanism and which target code has been introduced as a length.
