Abstract: A Schottky diode structure (4) is formed by retrograde diffusing an N⁺ concentration of relatively fast diffusing atoms, preferably Phosphorus atoms, to form a localized diode NWell (6) as the diode substrate for the diode. A buried diode layer (5) formed of relatively slow diffusing N type atoms, preferably Antimony atoms, underlies the diode NWell and electrically couples the diode junction (7) to the diode ohmic contact (9). A diode ohmic contact region (31) underlies the ohmic contact, further coupling the diode junction to the ohmic contact. Preferably, the diode junction is a Platinum-Silicide junction. The Schottky diode structure may be formed as part of a BICMOS integrated circuit fabrication process wherein the buried diode layer may be formed at the same time as a buried collector layer of a bipolar transistor structure, the diode NWell may be formed at the same time as an NWell of a CMOS transistor structure and the diode ohmic contact region may be formed at the same time as a collector sink region. In the BICMOS fabrication process the buried collector layer definition mask is also a buried diode layer definition mask, the retro NWell definition mask is also a diode NWell definition mask, the collector sink definition mask is also a diode ohmic contact region definition mask, and the BICMOS contacts definition mask is also a diode junction and ohmic contact definition mask.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck (4) for holding a workpiece (2) in a low pressure environment. The chuck (4) comprises a dielectric substrate (8) fabricated of a material that does not contain polar molecules that are free to move in response to the application of an electric field (V). This avoids the problem of the workpiece (2) sticking to the chuck (4) after the energizing voltage (V) has been removed. In an environment in which high temperatures are employed, the dielectric (8) is coupled to a metallic heat conductor (23) via a plurality of metallic pins (22) that couple heat and are free to flex in response to motion caused by differentials in thermal expansion coefficients between the metal (23) and the dielectric (8). The chuck (4) is preferably fabricated from two substantially planar dielectric members (30,33) sandwiched around a brazing compound (11,13) which become electrically conductive electrodes (11,13) after the assembly is heated and then cooled.

Abstract: For mode selection in motion compensated coding of digital video signals, reference is mode to the original pictures instead of decompressed pictures. Minimum errors produced during motion estimation, corresponding to optimum motion vectors, are used for mode selection. A motion detector detects a optimum motion vector of a current block, for each possible reference picture in the past and future, and outputs the optimum motion vectors and corresponding minimum errors. In a mode selector, an activity of the current block is estimated, an interpolated prediction obtained by averaging predictions from the past and future is evaluated, and an optimum mode is determined which gives a smallest value among all the minimum errors, the activity of the current block and the evaluation of the interpolated prediction.

Abstract: A scanner is so arranged that a quantity of light reaching a CCD sensor can be kept constant with a change in reading position. In case a light source (3) and a reading optical unit (4) are driven independent of each other, variations in feed amount inevitably occur. To deal with it, a test chart of a specified length is first read to measure moving amounts of the light source (3) and the reading optical unit (4). Then, the reading optical unit (4) is moved by a predetermined amount. The light source (3) is moved as effecting a correction based on the moving amounts initially measured. Then, a one-line reading process is carried out to scan an image on a document.

Abstract: Sound pulses which are emitted from carrier vehicles are received by receiving installations on water borne vessels or buoys and are evaluated in order to find the direction of the carrier vehicle as a target. Unambiguous direction finding is not possible using a crossed dipole configuration composed of two pairs of hydrophones whose separations are large in comparison with the wavelength of the received soundwaves, since their directional characteristic pattern has one main lobe and side lobes of the same magnitude. According to the invention, at least one reference pair of two hydrophones is used, whose axis is rotated through an angle with respect to the pairs of the dipole configuration. Phase shifts in the received signals of the pairs and of the reference pair are measured and 360 DEG , and multiples of 360 DEG , are added thereto. Incidence angles are calculated and compared using each phase shift thus obtained and the separations between the hydrophones of the pairs and reference pairs, and taking account of the rotation angle. Correspondence determines the direction finding. The method using four hydrophones in a streamlined hull body can be used particularly advantageously. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of making a concave aspheric mold insert by electroplating nickel over a silver release agent coating on an aspheric surface formed in a copper substrate to form a master having a convex surface which is a negative image of the aspheric surface. After the master has been separated from the substrate its convex surface is coated with a silver release agent and electroplated with nickel to form an element having a concave surface which is a replication of the aspheric surface and the opposite surface of which is convex. After the convex surface of the element has been trued to spherical shape, a slightly oversize spherical D-seg is formed in the aspheric surface. The aspheric surface is then trued to reduce the D-seg to final size to produce the insert. A number of elements are formed from the master and are provided with D-segs of different radii. In an alternative method the D-seg is formed in the spherical concave surface of a glass substrate, the spherical concave surface of which has the best fit to the desired aspheric surface.

Abstract: For electrically connecting a conductor pattern (25) printed on a surface of a flexible insulator sheet (23) to a circuit board (13), an insulating resilient piece (33) is attached to the opposite surface of the flexible sheet and obliquely projects from said opposite surface. A connecting member (15) having a contact (17) to be electrically connected to the circuit board has an insulator block (16) having a receiving hole (18) for receiving the flexible sheet and the resilient piece together. The contact is exposed in the receiving hole so that the contact is brought into contact with the conductor pattern of the flexible sheet when a projecting portion of the resilient piece is pressed towards the flexible sheet received in the receiving hole by an actuating member (31, 39, 41). By the use of the connecting arrangement, a multi-row connector (11) is assembled which is for establishing electric connection to the connecting member as a paired connector. The multi-row connector comprises a first insulator block (19) for receiving the flexible sheets as flexible contact sheets in sheet receiving holes (21) and a second insulator block (27) having a sheet receiving groove (29). The insulating resilient pieces are fixed to bottom sheet ends of the flexible contact sheets. After inserted between free ends of the resilient pieces, the actuating member is turned around its axis to establish the electric connection.
