IPC: H01L29/06
Filed: 1996-01-03
Abstract: A semiconductor quantum well structure having at least two quantum wells, each having an electron quantum level, a heavy hole quantum level and a light hole quantum level. In the two quantum wells, only their respective heavy hole quantum levels or their respective light hole quantum levels coincide with each other. Further, there is a construction in which a barrier portion between the two quantum wells has a thickness and a band gap which allow connecting the wave functions of the respective electrons between the two quantum wells. Alternatively, the thickness and band gap of the barrier allow the connection between the quantum wells of the wave functions of those holes whose quantum levels coincide with each other. In order to set the hole quantum level to a desired quantum level, a specific construction imparts an appropriate strain to the quantum wells.

Inventor: GEISSER HELMUT DIPL-ING
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 1996-06-01
Abstract: The adjustment of audio volume can apply to either analogue or digital mono or stereo signals. For digital stereo signals (1, 2), the peak values are identified (2, 4) and are fed to a maximum value stage (5). A still value detector (6) identifies if the value is less than -42 dB and in this case the regulation is ineffective. If above -42 dB the detector provides and output to a filter (7) and this gives an average value that is then used to generate a reference correction value to apply to the audio level control input of the amplifier. This provides automatic adjustment, particularly when changing from one audio source to another.

Abstract: In a fabricating method for an end face light emitting type LED array, p-type regions are formed by diffusing impurities into portions of a semiconductor substrate, using a diffusion prevention film 13 as a mask. Subsequently, using the diffusion prevention film as a mask again, the semiconductor substrate is etched to form a concave portion therein so that light-emission end faces are formed on a side of the concave portion. With this arrangement, a positional misalignment between the p-type regions and the light-emission end faces is prevented.

Title: Method and system for inserting a spread spectrum watermark into multimedia data
Inventor: COX INGEMAR J
IPC: H04N7/52
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: Digital watermarking of audio, image, video or multimedia data is achieved by inserting the watermark into the perceptually significant components of a decomposition of the data in a manner so as to be visually imperceptible. In a preferred method, a frequency spectral image of the data, preferably a Fourier transform of the data, is obtained. A watermark is inserted into perceptually significant components of the frequency spectral image. The resultant watermarked spectral image is subjected to an inverse transform to produce watermarked data. The watermark is extracted from watermarked data by first comparing the watermarked data with the original data to obtain an extracted watermark. Then, the original watermark, original data and the extracted watermark are compared to generate a watermark which is analyzed for authenticity of the watermark. <IMAGE>

     In the process for producing chitin-chitosan/cellulose fibers, films or foam materials from the chitin-chitosan/cellulose viscose, chitin-chitosan in which DAC ratio and degree of polymerization are adjusted is formed through an improved pre-immersion step in which the chitin material is immersed in a NaOH solution of high concentration at high temperature and through an improved post-immersion step in which the temperature is decreased. The chitin-chitosan/cellulose viscose is produced by a xanthogenation reaction with CS 2  and by dissolving in crashed ice. The viscose obtained or a viscose in which chitin-chitosan and cellulose are solubilized in a desired ratio is used for producing fibers or films, and the viscose in which a foaming agent is added is used for producing foam materials. Span-lace process nonwoven fabrics can be also produced from these viscose.

Abstract: The procedure consists of a separate and differentiated introduction of fuel to the air used for scavenging the exhaust gases and a retarded ignition which permits an increase in the exhaust gas temperature to give a post-oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust gases, avoiding the need for a specific exhaust catalyst. The ignition retard is preferably operated in a zone of the engine's operation in which the vehicle driven by the engine is at a stabilised feed, and the richness and injection time of the fuel is varied according to the ignition retard. The ignition can be retarded either mechanically or electronically, according to the exhaust gas temperature. For a two-wheeled vehicle with no gearbox the procedure is operated at close to maximum power, while for a two-wheeled vehicle with several gears it is operated at low power.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying and resolving commonly confused words
in a natural language parser is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a computer system
parses input text made up of two or more words using a relation that maps from potentially
confused words, including one word among the words of the input text, to possibly intended
words. The computer system first identifies the possible parts of speech for each word of the
input text including the potentially confused word. The computer system then identifies the
possible parts of speech for the possibly intended word to which the relation maps the
potentially confused word. Finally, the computer system applies syntactic grammar rules to
the identified parts of speech such that a complete syntax tree containing a possible part of
speech for the possibly intended word is produced and no complete syntax tree containing a
possible part of speech for the potentially confused word is produced. According to a further
embodiment of the invention, the computer system provides feedback on the input text by
outputting an indication that a sentence in the input text is syntactically incorrect and
outputting a further indication that the sentence in the input text would be syntactically
correct if the potentially confused word in the input text was replaced with the possibly
intended word.
