Abstract: The present invention relates to a low air loss
mattress 10 for continuously supporting a person lying
thereon, comprising an upper layer 12 of inflatable
cells, and a separate lower layer of inflatable cells 13.

maintained at a constant higher pressure than the upper
layer of cells 12 to prevent a person lying on the
mattress 10 from contacting the underlying support
surface, in particular, when sitting or during transport. 
     Cells 11 forming the upper layer 12 may be inflated
at different pressures to provide optimum support to
different parts of the body.

Abstract: An improved bearing mechanism works in conjunction with the
control rod of a vertical blind system (21) or a roller shade (101, 301)
system to provide superior bearing and load handling capability. A
series of cylindrical roller bearings (31, 187, 271, 333, 351), are
supported within the grooves, and against a central rotational member
having a conical bearing (151, 359, 391) for bearing against the rollers.

Abstract: A process of forming silicide at uniform rates across the
entire source/drain region is provided. A two-step annealing method
permits the thickness of the silicide formed on the edge of a silicon
electrode to be substantially the same as it is in the center of the
electrode. A first, low temperature anneal begins the salicidation process
across the source/drain electrode surface. The time and temperature are
controlled so that the metal is only partially consumed. The annealing is
interrupted to remove excess silicidation metal, especially the unreacted
metal overlying oxide areas neighboring the silicon electrode. Then, the
silicidation is completed at a higher temperature anneal. Because the
excess metal has been removed, the resulting silicide layer is uniformly
flat, permitting the transistor to be fabricated with shallow junction areas
and low leakage currents. In one embodiment of the invention, the
crystalline structure of source and drain surfaces is annihilated before the
deposition of metal, to lower annealing temperatures and add precise
control to the silicidation process. A transistor having a uniformly thick
silicide layer, fabricated in accordance with the above-mentioned method,
is also provided.

Abstract: The specification describes a method for dispensing IC chips from a chip
carrier tape for a flip-chip assembly operation. In a conventional assembly
operation, the solder bumped side of the chip is the top side of the chip as
loaded on the tape, and is normally the side of the chip that engages the head of
the pick tool. For flip-chip assembly it is necessary to invert the chip for solder
bonding to an interconnect substrate. In the technique of the invention, the chip
carrier tape is inverted and inserted into the dispensing machine upside down.
The IC chips are then ejected through the back of the tape instead of being lifted
from the from of the tape. In this way the pick tool head engages the back side
of the solder bumped chip and the chip is in the proper orientation for flip-chip
placement and bonding on the interconnect substrate.

Abstract: If gamut mapping (hue restoration) defined by one
Lab color space is applied in color matching under
different reference white points, the human vision
perceives the hue as inconsistent. In view of this,
input data which is dependent on a color space of an

color space data which is independent of any devices,
based on a viewing condition at the time of viewing an
input original. The data is converted to data in the
human color perception space by the forward converter
12, then subjected to gamut mapping, and converted back
to data in the color space independent of any devices
by the inverse converter 15, based on a viewing
condition at the time of viewing an output original.
Then, the data is converted to output data in a color
space which is dependent on an output device by the
conversion LUT 16.

Abstract: Methods and devices for reducing memory access latencies in scaleable multi-node,
multi-processor systems include supplementing the demand driven nature of filling cache
memories wherein caches are filled based upon the past demands of the processor or
processors coupled thereto with a push-based model wherein recently modified lines of
memory are actively pushed into selected cache memories based upon usage information.
The usage information is maintained for each line of memory and indicates at least which
node in the system stores a copy of which line of memory. The timing of the pushing is
adaptive and configurable and biases the system to push updated copies of recently
modified lines of memory to selected nodes before the processors associated therewith
request the line. Other methods and devices for reducing memory access latencies in a
multi-node multi-processor system carry out the steps of generating two-phase
acknowledgments to invalidate commands wherein, after a phase I acknowledgment, a
requesting processor is allowed to modify a line of memory before other processors in the
system receive the invalidate. A temporary and process-transparent incoherency then
occurs for that line, which is resolved by delaying all access requests to the modified line
until phase II acknowledgements to the invalidate are received from all nodes sharing that
line. The push-based method of filling the cache memories may be employed together with
the two phase invalidate acknowledgment method, or may be employed separately
therefrom.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for controlling delays in a cellular telecommunications network. The delay control method according to the invention is based on a hierarchical structure of delay controlling entities, which preferably communicate only with entities directly above or below them in the hierarchy. In the downlink direction, an entity receiving data, such as a base station or a splitting unit, sends a timing report to the entity sending the data if the data is received too early or too late, whereafter the sending entity may adjust the sending time of data. The same reporting and adjusting process may be repeated through all levels of the control hierarchy, resulting in a collective control of delays from the top of the hierarchy, for example from a RNC, to the bottom, for example to a base station. In the uplink direction, a higher level entity receiving data from a lower level entity may command the lower level entity to adjust the sending time, if the data is received too early or too late. When the same action is repeated in all levels of the hierarchy, a collective control of delays is achieved for the link between the lowest level, e.g. the base station, and the highest level, e.g. a RNC.
