Abstract: A ferroelectric random access memory device stores a data bit in a pair of
ferroelectric capacitors (CP1/ CP2) in the form of remanence varied along a
hysteresis loop, and a sense amplifier (OSA0 to OSAm; SA10 to SA1m) increases
the magnitude of a potential difference produced on a bit line pair
(BLT0/ BLN0 to BLTm/ BLNm) due to the remanence, wherein the insensible
voltage range of the sense amplifier is intentionally increased in a life test for
the pair of ferroelectric capacitors so as to screen out a short-lived ferroelectric
capacitor.

Abstract: In an expansion valve (14) integrated with a
electromagnetic valve (20), the expansion valve has an inlet
refrigerant path (141a, 51) for introducing refrigerant, a
restriction path (144a) for decompressing and expanding the
refrigerant, a valve element (144) for adjusting an opening
degree of the restriction path, a valve element operating unit
(30), and an outlet refrigerant path (141b) for discharging the
refrigerant. The outlet refrigerant path is opened or closed
by the electromagnetic valve. When the electromagnetic valve
is closed, the valve element operating unit closes the valve
element in the restriction path based on a refrigerant pressure
in a space (147) between the electromagnetic valve and the
restriction path. The space communicates with the inlet
refrigerant path through a communication hole (500, 501).

Abstract: A digital data transfer system transfers digital data along a path in a ring topology. The digital
data transfer system comprising a host controller and a digital data transfer subsystem. The host
controller generates and receiving digital data and the digital data transfer subsystem receives the
digital data from the host controller and transferring the digital data to one or more devices
connectable thereto, and further receives digital data from the last of the devices connectable thereto
for provision to the host controller, thereby to define the ring data transfer topology. The digital data
transfer subsystem comprises an upstream port, a plurality of input/output ports and a port control.
The upstream port transfers digital data from an external source to the input of the first input/output
port in the series and transfers digital data received from the last input/output port in the series to the
host controller. Each input/output port includes a port input terminal, a port output terminal, a device
output port, a device input terminal, and an output data selector. The input/output ports are
connected in series such that the port input terminal of the first input/output port in the series receives
data from the upstream port, the port output terminal of the last input/output port in the series
provides data to the upstream port, and the port output terminal of each of the other input/output
ports in the series provides data to the port input terminal of the next input/output port in the series.
Each input/output port couples data from its port input terminal to its device output terminal thereby
to provide data received at its port input terminal to a device which may be connected thereto, and
coupling data from its device input terminal to its respective output data selector. The output data
selector of each input/output port is further connected to receive data from the respective port input
terminal, the output data selector selectively coupling data from one of the port input terminal or the
device input terminal to the input/output port's output terminal. The port control controls the output
data selector of each the input/output port in response to a determination as to whether a respective
device is connected thereto.

Abstract: A hydraulic fluid is supplied from a tank (19) to a plurality
of actuators (20,21,22) by a variable displacement pump (18) which produces
an output pressure that is a constant amount greater than a
pressure at a control input (32). A mechanism senses the greatest
pressure among the workports (52,58) to provide a first load-dependent
pressure and a second load-dependent pressure which is greater
than the first load-dependent pressure when the pump (18) operates
at maximum flow capacity. Each valve section (13,14,15) includes a
pressure compensating valve (48) which controls the fluid flow to
the associated actuator (20,21,22) in response to a pressure differential
between the metering orifice (44) and either the first or second
load-dependent pressures. When the pump (18) operates at maximum
flow capacity, actuators (20,21) connected to the valve sections (13,14) in
which the pressure compensating valve (48) responds to the first
load-dependent pressure receive the fluid flow on a priority
basis as compared to the other valve sections (15). Thus the
system operates the priority actuators (20,21) as normally as possible
during a maximum pump flow situation by reducing the fluid
flow to non-priority actuators (22).

Title: Call control method
Inventor: VERKAMA MARKKU
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: In some mobile telecommunications systems reception of calls outside the home network may be very expensive for the called subscriber. For this reason, subscribers are given the possibility to bar incoming calls when roaming outside the home network. On the other hand, when using optimised routing, reception of calls even far from the home network may be very advantageous or even free. Hereby there are no longer any grounds for barring incoming calls. A method is presented in this invention where those network elements can be defined for the subscriber on a location information basis from which incoming calls will be relayed to the subscriber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a field effect transistor, in particular a discrete field effect transistor, comprising a source region (1) and a drain region (2), and, between said regions, a channel region (4) above which a gate region (3) is located. The gate region (3) is formed by applying an insulating layer (5) to the semiconductor body and providing this insulating layer with a stepped portion (6) in the thickness direction, whereafter a conductive layer (30) is applied to the surface of the semiconductor body (10), which layer is substantially removed again by etching, so that a part (3A) of the conductive layer (30), which part forms part of the gate region (3) and which lies against the stepped portion (6), remains intact. In a method in accordance with the invention, the source region (1) and the drain region (2) are formed before the insulating layer (5) is provided, and after the provision of the part (3A) of the gate region (3), which part is formed from the conductive layer (30), the surface of the semiconductor body (10) is made flat by applying a further insulating layer (7) next to the stepped portion (6). Such a method enables a T-shaped gate region (3) to be manufactured in a simple manner, said gate region comprising a very short vertical part (3A) of, for example, polycrystalline silicon and an overlaying wider horizontal part of, for example, aluminium. Such a transistor has excellent high-frequency properties. In a preferred embodiment, the stepped portion (6) is formed by providing the insulating layer with a recess (8) whose side walls are situated above the source region (1) and the channel region (4). In a particularly simple variant, a 'parasitic' gate region (32) is subsequently formed above the source region (1), which is not objectionable. The recess (8) can further be used in the formation of LDMOST whose source region (1) can be provided with an extension (1A).
