Patent EP-0789308-A3 (EP)
Inventor: EVES DAVID ANTHONY
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1997-01-27
Abstract: The speech of a group of virtual characters is modelled using a directed
graph or audio web, where each utterance is a node (A1-A7, B1-B5) in the web
having links from it to each possible utterance that can be made in reply at any
point in the course of the interaction. The choice of the next node
(conversation segment) is dependent on attributes of the character and/or the
virtual environment in which the conversation is taking place. These attributes
may be fixed, modified by system function calls available at each node, or
modified in response to user input.

Abstract: A medical diagnostic ultrasound system is
described in which ultrasonic B mode tissue
information and Doppler flow information is acquired
from a volumetric region of the body and processed
together to render a three dimensional image. The
three dimensional rendering processes the B mode and
Doppler flow information as a function of the spatial
location of B mode and Doppler pixels in the
volumetric region. The rendering utilizes separate
three dimensional rendering parameters for the tissue
and flow information, respectively.

Abstract: A good quality passive-state film is formed on
a gas-contact face of a diaphragm of a pressure
detector using a sensor chip to prevent corrosion
on, or water content emission from, or catalytic
action at a gas-contact face, thereby improving
production quality in a semiconductor manufacturing
process and providing high accuracy pressure
detection. The passive-state film is formed on the
gas-contact face of the diaphragm when the diaphragm
is mounted on a diaphragm base. The diaphragm base
is then fixedly secured to a sensor base in which a
sensor chip is housed and a pressure transmitting
medium is sealed in a gap between the sensor base
and the diaphragm base.

Abstract: A mark (MP) for position detection formed on a substrate (W)
has a first pattern (M1) disposed near the center of the mark and
having periodicity in a Y-axis direction, and second
patterns (M2a,M2b) respectively disposed near both sides of the first
pattern in an X-axis direction and each having periodicity
in the X-axis direction. The position of the first pattern
is detected by aligning the detection center of a detecting
optical system (12), that is, the minimal aberration point of the
detecting optical system, with the center of the first
pattern. The positions of the second patterns are detected
at respective points symmetric with respect to the minimal
aberration point, and the detected values for the positions
of the second patterns are averaged. An apparatus for
detecting the mark for position detection detects the first
and second patterns by image processing when the mark is in
a stationary state.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed
in which a high-availability intelligent node maintains
the synchronization of data between various nodes by
utilizing both an index manager to administer and manage
indices associated with the location of stored data and
a data transfer function (DTF) to manage persistent
dynamic data updates between nodes. For data updates, a
DTF batch transfer function, receives, from the index
manager, the data update information and stores the entry
in a buffer, which is then forwarded to a DTF batch
transfer function residing on another (standby) node.
The DTF batch transfer function residing on the non-master
node receives the message buffer from the master
DTF batch transfer function and stores the values in the
indexed memory location specified for that entry. In
addition, at startup or reinitialization of the nodes, a
DTF bulk transfer function on both the master and standby
nodes can be used to achieve synchronization of data.

Abstract: An article comprising a light-actuated photonic switch is disclosed. The
light-actuated photonic switch advantageously includes a photogenerator that
powers a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switch having very low
voltage requirements. The MEMS switch is operable to move a reflector into or
out of a path of an optical signal travelling between two waveguides. Since the
MEMS switch has such low voltage requirements, a long wave photogenerator,
which generates relatively low voltages, can be used. As long wavelength light
experiences relatively little attenuation in optical fiber, active lightwave circuits
incorporating the present light-actuated photonic switch can have very long fiber
runs to remote nodes.

Abstract: An improved method for forming semiconductor substrates using BSG
avoids the problems associated with conventional TEOS hard mask
techniques. The methods comprises providing a semiconductor substrate 1
and applying a conformal layer of borosilicate glass (BSG) 40 on the
substrate. A photoresist layer 60 is then formed over the BSG layer and
pattern to expose a desired portion of a layer underlying the photoresist
layer. Anisotropical etching is then performed through the exposed
portion of the underlying layer, through any other layers lying between
the photoresist layer and the semiconductor substrate, and into the
semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a trench in the semiconductor
substrate. Preferably, one or more dielectric layers 10, 20 are present
on the substrate surface prior to application of the BSG layer. One or
more chemical barrier and/or organic antireflective coating layers 50 may
be applied over the BSG layer between the BSG layer and the photoresist
layer. The method is especially useful for forming deep trenches in
silicon substrates with pad dielectric layers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for deferring, or delaying, the throwing of
exceptions are disclosed. In one aspect of the present invention, an exception is
raised during an invocation of a first object within an object-based system. The
exception may be processed by catching the exception and making a first copy of the
exception. Making the first copy of the exception includes storing the first copy of
the exception in a dynamic memory. The first copy of the exception may then be
processed by creating a runtime copy of the exception that is stored on an execution
heap. The runtime copy of the exception may is then caught. The first copy of the
exception is deleted from the dynamic memory, and the caught runtime copy of the
exception is reprocessed. In one embodiment, processing the first copy of the
exception includes throwing the first copy of the exception as a system exception. In
such an embodiment, throwing the first copy of the exception as a system exception
causes the runtime copy of the exception to be created.
