Inventor: CLAYBOURN MICHAEL
IPC: G01Q90/00
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A sample and a scanning probe microscope system are used as the detector for an infrared spectrometer to circumvent the diffraction limit of conventional infrared microscopy, and to provide spectroscopic images with a greatly improved spatial resolution, potentially as low as a few tens of nanometers. The beam from an infrared spectrometer is directed at the sample. The sample is heated to the extent that it absorbs infrared radiation. Thus the resulting temperature rise of an individual region depends upon the particular molecular species present, as well as the range of wavelengths of the infrared beam. These individual temperature differences are detected by a miniature thermal probe. The thermal probe is mounted in a scanning thermal microscope. The scanning thermal microscope is then operated used to produce multiple surface and sub-surface images of the sample, such that the image contrast corresponds to variations in either thermal diffusivity, surface topography or chemical composition.

Abstract: A method and system for transferring information using an encryption mode indicator (EMI). The present invention provides several secure information communication modes in which data (e.g., representing an audio/visual work) can be transmitted from a source device to a sink device (receiving station) in a number of secure modes. In one secure mode, EMI mode A, the information of the transmission is not allowed to be copied as a whole work; this is the highest level of copy protection. In second secure mode, EMI mode B, the information of the transmission is allowed to be copied once and once only by the sink device. In a third transmission mode, no encryption is used and free copying is available.

Abstract: A single step electroplating process for interconnect via fill and metal line formation on a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. In this process, a barrier layer is formed onto a surface of a substrate (82) that has at least one via and then a conductive layer is formed onto the barrier layer (83). Next, a photoresist layer is applied and patterned on top of the conductive layer (84). The via plugs and metal lines are then deposited on the substrate simultaneously using an electroplating process (85). After the electroplating process is completed, the photoresist (86) and the conductive layer between the deposited metal lines are removed (87). The process provides a simple, economical and highly controllable means of forming metal interconnect systems while avoiding the difficulties associated with depositing and patterning metal by traditional semiconductor fabrication techniques.

Abstract: A computer system maintains and updates a status register (102, 107) in response to signals containing status information received from several peripheral devices (110, 120, 130), and generates an interrupt to a processor (100). When the processor (100) sevices the interrupt, the processor (100) merely reads the status register (102) to determine which peripheral device requires processing. This is a very fast operation because the status register (102) is internal to the processor (100) or core logic (103). No time consuming polling of peripheral devices (110, 120, 130) is required to determine the status of the peripheral device.

Abstract: Method, communication network and software program that enables a more flexible
architecture in communication networks with separated call control and bearer
control. The invention enables full support of the advantages of a communication
network with separated call control and bearer control when interfacing with a
further network with monolithic signalling. The invention also increases the
flexibility of an existing payload connection, especially in the case of a malfunction.
The invention uses the existing signalling protocols to transfer further information.
Basically, information elements and methods to interpret the transferred information
are stored in the receivers and senders of the information. This enables the receivers
and senders of information to transmit more information than originally planned
when the protocols where designed. So it is possible to identify a combination of a
payload transmission device and a control node instead of a single device only. It is
further possible, to identify an assignment as a further assignment. This allows the
change of a current assignment for a radio access controller.
