Patent EP-0851637-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ARIYAVISITAKUL SIRIKIAT
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A decision feedback equalizer receiver that assigns a
number F of feedforward filter taps and optimizes digital
receiver performance in multipath channel environments, where
F is an integer less than a memory length of a radio channel.
The feedforward filter taps are assigned to delay times
corresponding to an optimum burst timing parameter delay
time, d(0), and to F-1 time delays based on "tap SNR
indices." For an Uncorrelated Inter-Symbol-Interference
(UISI) case, the F-1 time delays are the first F-1 rank
ordered time delays are selected as the feedforward tap delay
times. For a general case, a combination of the UISI case
and an analytical two cluster case is obtained by selecting
the first F-2 rank ordered time delays and a 2D time delay,
where D is the delay time corresponding to the largest
estimated tap SNR index.

Inventor: PERINO STANLEY C
IPC: H01L23/00
Filed: 1997-10-02
Abstract: A yield enhancement technique for integrated
circuit processing which reduces the deleterious
effects of H 2 O contamination which is absorbed by
conventional dielectric films resulting in an
undesired subsequent out-diffusion of hydrogen when
the integrated circuit die is subsequently subjected
to relatively high processing temperatures such as
those experienced in CERDIP packaging. The technique
disclosed comprises the formation of an interlevel
dielectric layer having hydrophilic properties (for
example, 7.5% phosphorus doped TEOS) at least
partially surrounding a device on the integrated
circuit which layer is then subjected to an annealing
operation to drive off at least a portion of any
moisture present therein. A second relatively less
hydrophilic dielectric layer (such as UTEOS) is then
overlaid in at least partial communication with the
interlevel dielectric layer and an overlying
passivation layer (such as UTEOS) is then applied to
the integrated circuit prior to completion of the
integrated circuit processing and subsequent packaging
operations.

Abstract: The ink of the invention comprises a vehicle and a colorant. The colorant is a
water-insoluble macromolecule that has been chemically modified to be water soluble
by addition of functional groups to the surface of the chromaphores resulting in water
soluble colorant particles. The resulting chromaphore is called a macromolecular
chromaphore (MMC). The performance of these MMCs is improved by substitution of
(a) the normal counter-cations with substituted ammonium cations or (b) the normal
counter-anions with any of a variety of organic and inorganic anions. The inks described
herein demonstrate high edge acuity, high optical density, fast drying times,
high waterfastness, and high smearfastness.

Abstract: The electric power steering apparatus of the present invention
is to assisting steering based on an output of a torque sensor which
detects a steering torque, the apparatus cumulates the outputs at each
detection for a predetermined period of time, then compares the
cumulated value with a predetermined value, and detects a displacement
of the torque sensor's neutral point based on the comparison result.
Therefore it is possible to detect even a small displacement of the
torque-sensor neutral point.

Abstract: A convenient and practical apparatus for transporting digital
images for display is achieved by incorporating an internally fixed base camera
memory into an electronic or hybrid camera. Specifically, a camera includes a
digital imaging system (16, 70) for generating a first digital image of first
resolution in response to an exposure signal, a first storage memory (124) for
receiving and storing the first digital image generated by the digital imaging
system, a fixed memory or a removable memory interface connector (130) for
receiving a removable memory device, and a processor (120) for controlling the
transfer of the first digital image from the first storage memory to the fixed
memory or removable memory interface connector for subsequent storage in a
removable memory device, when a removable memory device is coupled to the
removable memory interface connector. The processor selectively generates a
second digital image of a second resolution lower than the first resolution from the
first digital image stored in at least one of the first storage memory or a fixed
memory or a removable memory device coupled to the removable memory
interface connector in response to a display signal. A display screen (36) is
provided in the camera for receiving and displaying the second digital image
generated by the processor. The second digital image displayed on the display
screen is selective stored in a second storage memory (126) in response to a
storage signal entered via an operator interface (74). The images stored in the
second storage memory constitute album images that remain with the camera until
specifically deleted by the camera operator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the average effect of radio wave multipath fading in a desired area in a radio system. The desired area of a coverage area of a base station in the system is described by a digital map. The average effect of multipath fading of a transmitter output is determined in different sub-areas of the desired area. In order to reduce the computation amount signal fading parameters are determined at some point of each sub-area by a ray tracing method and the average effect of signal multipath fading in the sub-area is calculated using said parameters.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a support composed of a
porous oxide, an oxygen storage-and-release material, and a noble metal. The
support and the oxygen storage-and-release material are composited at an
approximately atomic level to constitute a composite oxide support. The noble
metal is loaded on the composite oxide support. In the catalyst, the fine
particles of the oxygen storage-and-release material are trapped in the fine
compartments of the support, and are accordingly inhibited from moving when they
are subjected to a high temperature. Thus, the support exhibits a specific surface
area which decreases less after a high-temperature durability test. In addition, the
oxygen storage-and-release material and the noble metal are kept from growing
granularly at elevated temperatures. Hence, the catalyst maintains the high purifying
performance even after the high-temperature durability test.

Abstract: A method and illumination optical system forms a modified illumination
configuration on an optical integrator so that a secondary light source having a desired
modified illumination configuration is formed and light loss is minimized. A light
beam shape changing element that diffuses illumination in a plurality of directions,
and an angular light beam forming element that forms a plurality of light source
images operate together to create a modified illumination configuration on the optical
integrator. Since the secondary light source has a desired modified illumination
configuration, an aperture stop used to restrict the size and/or shape of the secondary
light source blocks only a small amount of illumination, or can be eliminated
altogether. It is possible to alter the annular ratio and outer diameter of an annular or
quadrupole modified illumination configuration by changing the magnification of a
zoom optical system positioned between the light beam shape changing element and
the angular light beam forming element. Furthermore, by changing the focal length of
a zoom optical system (which is positioned upstream of the optical integrator), it is
possible to change the outer diameter of the annular or quadrupole secondary light
source without changing the annular ratio thereof.
