IPC: H01L23/373
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A highly heat-conductive silicon carbide powder particularly useful for manufacturing
heat-dissipating substrates and other members for semiconductor
devices, and a silicon carbide-based composite material made with the silicon
carbide powder. The silicon carbide powder is characterized in that the summation
of the peak intensities of X-ray diffraction peaks obtained on the (101),
(102), (103), (104), and (110) planes of 6H-type crystal grains in the range of
Bragg angle 2Θ from 30 to 61 degrees in the X-ray diffraction chart is 90% or
more of the summation of the peak intensities of all the X-ray diffraction peaks
in the same range of Bragg angle as above when tested by using the CuKα
line. The silicon carbide-based composite material is obtained by compounding
the silicon carbide powder with a metal powder such as an aluminum powder.
The silicon carbide powder is obtained by the following method: First, a silicon
carbide material powder is prepared. Second, a seed crystal powder, having an
average particle diameter larger than that of the silicon carbide material powder,
containing 98% or more 6H-type crystal particles is added to the silicon
carbide material powder to prepare a mixed powder. Finally, the mixed powder
is heat-treated at 1,800 °C or higher in an inert gas.

Abstract: A UART (10) with a clock oscillator (32) that has a sleep mode. A counter
is connected to the output of the clock oscillator. When the clock oscillator (32)
is awakened, the counter (38) counts up to a specified count. Upon reaching the
specified count, the output of the counter (38) is enabled, which is connected to
an interrupt line (40) for generating an interrupt. In one embodiment, the IC need
not be a UART, and no interrupt code (or a default code of all zeros or other
default) is provided for the interrupt, thus eliminating the need for an additional
interrupt register or additional room in existing interrupt registers. The user, such
as a CPU, upon receiving the interrupt will look for an interrupt code. The absence
of the interrupt code, combined with the user's knowledge that the integrated
circuit was previously asleep, allows the user to determine that the interrupt
indicates a clock wake-up.

Abstract: A progressive display is realized that has an electrode structure in which two neighboring rows share a display electrode. A PDP has display electrodes arranged so that two neighboring rows share one electrode for display, and the display electrodes cross an address electrode in each column. A row selection is performed by temporarily biasing one display electrode Y j  of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected row to the selecting potential Vy, while addressing is performed by controlling the potential of the address electrode A k  in accordance with the display data. At that time, the cell-selecting voltage Vay that is applied to the interelectrode AY between the display electrode Y j  and the address electrode A k  is made lower than the discharge starting voltage V AY  of the interelectrode AY. A row selection voltage Vxy that is lower than the discharge starting voltage VXY is applied to the interelectrode XY between the display electrodes of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected row, so that an address discharge is generated.

Abstract: In a first aspect there is provided an extraction
lens for a TOF mass spectrometer ion source, said lens
including an element having an aperture, said aperture
extending through the element so as to form a through
channel, such that, in use, ions may pass from one side
of the element to the opposite side of the element by
passing through said through channel; characterised in
that said through channel has a length equal to or
greater than 8/10 of the diameter of said aperture. 
     This provides an extraction lens which leads to
improved extraction and spatial focussing of ions. 
     In addition, as the length of the through channel
formed by the aperture is at least equal to 8/10 of its
diameter, field penetration through the extraction lens
aperture into the region in front of the sample plate is
kept at a low level and ions are not prematurely
extracted. The aperture can thus be made larger than
would otherwise be possible. A larger aperture is
advantageous because compared to a smaller aperture, it
does not become quickly contaminated with material
sputtered from the sample. It is also easier to direct a
laser or other light source through a larger aperture. 
This is useful when it is desired to direct a light beam
onto the sample plate, along a path at a small angle to
or substantially coincident with the spectrometer's ion-optical
axis.

Abstract: An apparatus controls a variable displacement
compressor used in a refrigerant circuit. The compressor
includes a drive shaft (6), which is rotated by an engine
(E). When the drive shaft (6) rotates, the compressor
compresses refrigerant sent from the external refrigerant
circuit and discharges the compressed refrigerant to an
external refrigerant circuit (30). When the displacement of
the compressor is minimized, the circulation of refrigerant
in the refrigerant circuit is stopped. The apparatus has a
control mechanism (27, 28, CV) for varying the pressure in
the crank chamber. A detector (76, 77, 78, 79) detects a
physical quantity that reflects the heating status of the
compressor. When the compressor displacement is minimized
and the quantity detected by the detector (76, 77, 78, 79)
indicates that the heating status of the compressor is
deteriorating, a controller (70) commands the control
mechanism (27, 28, CV) such that the displacement of the
compressor is greater than the minimum displacement.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a virtual serial port (VSP) situated between a serial port in a mobile electronic device, applications that require a serial port connection handle, and other applications that require command-mode access to the serial port. Data-communication applications (e.g. web browsing, e-mail, etc.) connect to the serial port through the VSP. The VSP creates a virtual connection handle that is returned to the application. Command-mode requests (e.g., short messaging requests) are received by the hardware abstraction layer, translated into command-mode messages (e.g., AT commands) and placed in a queue. The VSP multiplexes the serial port between the currently-open data communication session (data-mode) and command-mode messages by periodically suspending the currently-open connection and processing one or more command-mode messages that are in the queue. A buffer continually stores incoming data while the data communication session is suspended. The VSP uses a heuristic calculation to determine the maximum time interval for which the data-communication session can be interrupted. The heuristic calculation takes a percentage of a time-quantum (e.g. 0.5 seconds) based upon the ratio of an average bit rate for air communication (e.g. 7000 bits/sec) and a bit rate for the serial port (e.g. 152,000 bits/sec). This ensures that data-communications are not interrupted for a time interval long enough to result in lost data-packets. The parameter for the time quantum and other parameters may be statically or dynamically adjusted to account for a finite buffer size in the hardware.
