Inventor: OGURE NAOAKI
IPC: C23C18/06
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a plating method
for use in forming a liner for plating in a conductor-embedding
fine recess that is defined in a surface of a
semiconductor substrate, and an interconnection forming
method for use in forming an interconnection using such a
liner, and characterized by reducing an organic metal
compound in a nonaqueous solvent to plate a surface of a
base material with metal. The plating method can easily be
used similarly to an aqueous electroless plating process and
is capable of forming a defect-free sound metal plated layer
on the surface of a substrate which has a fine recess or the
like for embedding a conductor therein, and the
interconnection forming method is capable of forming an
embedded interconnection that comprises a defect-free sound
electric conductor in a fine recess.

Abstract: In an expander in which an energy of expansion of a vapor
having a raised pressure is converted into a rotating energy
for an output shaft, a cover member is mounted on an outer surface
of a casing of the expander. The cover member has a function
of sealing an end of the output shaft protruding on the outer
surface of the casing against the outside and a function of
recovering vapor discharged from the casing and having a dropped
pressure after the conversion. The end of the output shaft
located within the cover member and a transmitting shaft of a
driven member disposed outside the cover member are connected
to each other through a magnet-type shaft coupling, so that a
power can be transmitted. Thus, the output shaft and the
transmitting shaft of the driven member can be connected to each
other to prevent the leakage of the vapor in the expander to
the outside.

Abstract: The present invention is an impact energy absorption
member that is characterized by comprising a long member of
fiber reinforced resin having a lengthwise direction and a
thickness direction, wherein the ratio of the thickness t
(mm) of the long member to the length L (mm) thereof is
within the range of 1/11000 to 6/1000 as well as the
direction of an external force is substantially in agreement
with the thickness direction of the impact member. The
member of the present invention sufficiently absorbs impact
energy from a moving body when collision occurs and greatly
increases safety to collision of transportation equipment,
for example, a motor car and the like as well as is light in
weight and compact, whereby the member can improve
resistance against environment and saves energy. Further,
when this member is applied to a house and a building
against which the transportation equipment may collide, it
can reduce the loss of social properties.

Abstract: A multiprocessor computer system is configured to selectively transmit address
transactions using either a broadcast mode or a point-to-point mode. Depending on the
mode of transmission selected, either a directory-based coherency protocol or a broadcast
snooping coherency protocol is implemented to maintain coherency within the system. A
computing node is formed by a group of clients which share a common address and data
network. The address network is configured to determine whether a particular transaction
is to be conveyed in broadcast mode or point-to-point mode. In one embodiment, the
address network includes a mode table with entries which are configurable to indicate
transmission modes corresponding to different regions of the address space within the
node. Upon receiving a coherence request transaction, the address network may then
access the table in order to determine the transmission mode, broadcast or point-to-point,
which corresponds to the received transaction. In a further embodiment, network
congestion may be monitored and transmission modes adjusted accordingly. For
example, when network utilization is high, the number of transactions which are
broadcast may be reduced. Alternatively, when network utilization is low, the number of
broadcasts may be increased to take advantage of available bandwidth.

Abstract: A receiver produces complex data samples from a demodulated
received signal. The data samples, which may form a preamble identifying a
wireless LAN data burst, are arranged in a sequence comprising sub-sequences
having a predetermined relationship with each other. A tuning
frequency offset is determined by delaying the complex data samples by a
plurality of different delay periods, auto-correlating the complex data samples
using said different delay periods in order to produce respective auto-correlation
outputs, determining a plurality of phase-dependent values each
dependent upon phase errors in a respective auto-correlation output and
calculating a value representing frequency offset by combining the phase-dependent
values in a weighted manner. The preamble can be recognised by
using the same delay means. One matched filter is used to detect a particular
sub-sequence, the output is fed to the delay means, and a second matched
filter receives the outputs of the delay means to detect sub-sequences having
the correct timing relationship.
