Abstract: An apparatus and method for initiating a broadcast service in a mobile
communication system supporting the broadcast service. During a broadcast service
from a service base station, a mobile station receives configuration information for
neighbor base stations from the service base station. The configuration information
indicates whether a handoff from the service base station to the neighbor base stations is
possible and whether the neighbor base stations are providing the broadcast service.
During a hand off to a new base station, if the new base station is a neighbor base station
of the service base station and the new base station is not providing the broadcast
service, the mobile station requests the new base station to initiate the broadcast service.
If there is a base station not providing the broadcast service among the neighbor base
stations, the mobile station requests the service base station to initiate the broadcast
service of the neighbor base stations. The service base station then requests the neighbor
base stations to initiate the broadcast service.

Abstract: It is an object to control the rotation of a motor for
driving clock hands more reliably and to prevent abnormal wear
and breakage of components due to an overload. When a rotation
detecting circuit detects that a motor has not been rotated
by a normal driving pulse, a control circuit controls the
rotation of the motor with a corrective driving pulse having
a pulse width greater than that of the normal driving pulse.
When the rotation detecting circuit detects that the motor has
not been rotated even by the corrective driving pulse, it stops
controlling the rotation of the motor and notifies the fact
that the movement of the hands of the clock has stopped with
a notifying device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an approximation of a DCT and a quantization which are to be applied subsequently to digital data for compression of this digital data. In order to improve the transform, it is proposed to simplify a predetermined transform matrix to require less operations when applied to digital data. In addition, elements of the simplified transform matrix constituting irrational numbers are approximated by rational numbers. These measures are compensated by extending a predetermined quantization to compensate for the approximation of elements of the simplified transform matrix by rational numbers. If the simplified transform matrix and the extended quantization are used as basis for implementation, a fast transform with a good resulting quality can be achieved. An approximation of an IDCT employed in decompression of compressed digital data can be simplified correspondingly.

Abstract: An integrated fuse has regions of different doping located within a fuse
neck. The integrated fuse includes a polysilicon layer and a silicide layer. The
polysilicon layer includes first and second regions having different types of
dopants. In one example, the first region has an N-type dopant and the second
region has a P-type dopant. The polysilicon layer can also include a third region
in between the first and second regions, which also has a different dopant.
During a fusing event, a distribution of temperature peaks around the regions of
different dopants. By locating regions of different dopants within the fuse neck,
agglomeration of the silicide layer starts reliably within the fuse neck (for
example, at or near the center of the fuse neck) and proceeds toward the contact
regions. An improved post fuse resistance distribution and an increased
minimum resistance value in the post fuse resistance distribution is realized
compared to conventional polysilicon fuses.

allows program code developers to consistently interface with a
scene graph data structure to produce graphics. The vector
graphics element object model generally corresponds to shape
elements and other elements including image and video elements
that correlate with a scene graph object model of the scene
graph. Markup may be parsed into data including elements in an
element tree that is translated into the objects of a scene
graph data structure. Other markup may be translated directly
into data and calls that create the scene graph objects. The
markup language provides distinct ways to describe an element,
including a simple string format or complex property syntax,
which may be named, enabling reuse in other locations in the
markup.
