IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un système qui permettent de déterminer la température de substrats dans une chambre de traitement thermique, que ce soit en présence d'une atmosphère oxydante ou d'une atmosphère de réduction. Plus précisément, les définitions des températures effectuées d'après cette invention servent généralement à étalonner d'autres dispositifs de mesure de température qui peuvent être utilisés conjointement avec la chambre de traitement thermique. Ce procédé consiste, de manière générale, à chauffer un substrat comportant un revêtement réactif à l'intérieur d'une chambre de traitement thermique dans une atmosphère oxydante ou de réduction. Alors que l'on chauffe la plaquette, le revêtement réactif réagit aux gaz contenus dans la chambre en fonction de la température à laquelle le substrat est exposé. Après le chauffage, on mesure l'épaisseur de tout revêtement formé sur le substrat afin de déterminer la température à laquelle ce dernier a été chauffé. Cette information peut être utilisée afin d'étalonner d'autres dispositifs de mesure de température, tels que des thermocouples et des pyromètres.

Abstract: A computer system for executing at high speed programs
described in a machine language based on the stack architecture,
comprising a data cache, a data buffer, a consolidated register
file each entry of which is designed to hold data, an advanced
pointer stack and a completed pointer stack each entry of which
is designed to hold an entry address in the consolidated register
file, an instruction buffer having the construction of a FIFO
queue each entry of which is designed to hold substance of an
instruction, and functional units including an
arithmetic/logic unit and a load/store unit that can access the
data cache and the data buffer. 
     Each time an instruction is decoded, the advanced
pointer stack and the consolidated register file are
manipulated in accordance with the instruction, and substance
of the instruction is written into the instruction buffer, and
if necessary, into a free reservation station of an appropriate
functional unit. Unexecuted instructions held in the
instruction buffer are to be executed out of order. 
     When the instruction held in the head entry of the
instruction buffer is/becomes ready to be completed, in
accordance with the substance in the head entry of the
instruction buffer, the completed pointer stack is manipulated
so as to reproduce the operation that was applied on the advanced
pointer stack in the course of decoding of the held instruction,
and the head entry is dequeued.

Patent EP-1188079-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ESMAEILI SASAN
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 2000-04-26
Abstract: Apparatus (1) for splicing optical ribbon fibers or ribbonized fibers (3) has a splicing part (7) for splicing the optical fibers to each other and a heating part (44) or oven for heating a protective shrinkable sleeve (11) for applying it around spliced portions of the fibers. A transport device is provided for transferring the spliced fibers (3) from the splicing part to the heating part. The transport device includes clamps (9) at the sides of the frame of the apparatus, which are elastically biassed to give the spliced fibers a straight condition between the clamps. The transport device is manually operated by moving a handle (23) lifting the clamps (9) and the fibers along a slightly curved path to allow them to move unobstructed by the components of the splicing part. Thereafter a second handle (41) is actuated to make the clamps slide along side rails (25) having elongated holes (27) in a straight path to a position in which the spliced portions of the fibers are located at the heating part. Using the transport device it is not necessary to manually handle the spliced fibers when moving them between the splicing location and the place for applying the protective sleeve to the splice and furthermore the fibers can be held with a rectilinear shape and a little stretched over the spliced portions what minimizes the risk of breaks of the individual optical fibers at the splice. Furthermore, the total time required to splice optical fibers to each other and to apply the protective sleeve can be reduced.

of the binding sites (12), (13), (14) within the enhancer or
promoter (11) region, the binding sites (12), (13), (14)
being such that relevant regulators or hypothetically
introduced regulators are to be bound thereto, the
calculation model employing, as parameters, loci of the
regulator binding sites or other factors that cause
expression of the gene; computing the level of transcription
of the gene with respect to the above-constructed calculation
model; searching, through use of parameter search algorithms,
parameters of the calculation model so that empirically known
expression of the gene is obtained; to thereby predict
microstructures of the enhancer or promoter.

IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of estimating a characteristic of a signal such as a time of arrival or a transmitter identity in particular in a cellular communication system. Most known techniques have limited performance as they rely on limited amounts of known data. The method of the invention comprise a first step (201) of receiving the signal at a subscriber unit. In a second step (203) the subscriber unit receives assistance data from the fixed network and in a third step (205) an expected signal is derived in response to this assistance data. For GSM the assistance data can be a frame number and a BSIC permitting an entire expected SCH burst to be derived. In a fourth (207) step the signal characteristic is determined by correlation of the received signal and the expected signal. The invention is particularly applicable to location determination in a GSM communication system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de palier flottant comprenant un palier reposant, selon un ajustement avec jeu, dans une fixation de palier, à utiliser par exemple dans des moteurs électriques du type à enroulement à court-circuit à puissance inférieure au cheval. Le système de palier est du type à auto-alignement, de sorte que les écarts d'alignement axial de l'arbre rotor soient compensés. Un élément de blocage de rotation empêche le palier de tourner dans le réceptacle de palier tout en lui permettant de s'aligner correctement avec l'arbre rotor par décalage automatique de l'inclinaison de l'axe du palier. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, la fixation se compose d'un plastique technique et le palier se compose d'un polymère plastique haute performance, de sorte que le système de palier ne nécessite pas de lubrification. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, la fixation de palier est dotée de doigts de retenue qui maintiennent le palier en place pendant l'assemblage et la durée de vie du moteur.
