Abstract: A controller circuit (24) for processing video data for an active matrix liquid crystal display device has processing circuitry for performing correction functions on the input video data (D) prior to being supplied to the drive circuit (22) of the display device comprising gamma and color correction, and correction for reducing motion blur in the display picture. The correction circuits (35, 36) are organized such that correction for motion blur reduction (36) is carried out before the gamma and color corrections (35), which enables a beneficial decrease in semiconductor area required when implementing the circuitry in IC form through the size of field store (30) and LUT (32) components used for this function then being smaller. Gamma and color corrections are performed together using a single LUT. Correction for kickback may further be included, such correction preferably being arranged after the gamma and color corrections and using a separate LUT.

Abstract: A short range communications system in which transmitted signals are distorted by multipath effects and non-linear characteristics of circuit elements and cause constellation errors in a received signal. These errors are determined by a receiving transceiver (TRnull) which transmits a control signal to a transmitting transceiver (TR). The control signal is applied to a stage (12) to adjust the magnitude of input baseband data prior to modulation in a modulator (14) to predistort the constellation of the modulated signals in such a way that the distortion is effectively eliminated in propagation.

Abstract: In a CELP coder a comparison between a target signal and a plurality of synthetic signals is made. The synthetic signal is derived by filtering a plurality of excitation sequences by a synthesis filter having parameters derived from the target signal. The excitation signal which results in a minimum error between the target signal and the synthetic signal is selected. The search for the best excitation signal requires a substantial computational complexity. To reduce the complexity a preselection of a small number of excitation sequences is made by selecting a small number of excitation sequences resembling the most a backward filtered target signal. With this small number of excitation sequences a full complexity search is made. Due to the reduced number of excitation sequences involved in the final selection the required computational complexity is reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a film scanner comprising at least a first frame store (5) for storing the digitized pixel data of a scanned film frame, and at least a control device (6) for reading the relevant pixel data of a frame section of the stored film frame from the first frame store (5). To generate output frames in an arbitrary format and resolution, which may be used, for example for further processing in real-time multimedia applications, the control device (6) in the film scanner is provided with an arithmetic-logic unit for generating an output frame in a given size, a given aspect ratio and a given number of pixels per output frame line and lines per output frame by computing new pixels. By determining the format, particularly the resolution, for the output frame already during the scanning process, a direct further processing on computer panels or in multimedia applications is made possible. The transfer rate and the capacity required for storing the data are also reduced in this way.

Abstract: Inner trenches (11) of a trenched Schottky rectifier (1a; 1b; 1c; 1d) bound a plurality of rectifier areas (43a) where the Schottky electrode (3) forms a Schottky barrier 43 with a drift region (4). A perimeter trench (18) extends around the outer perimeter of the plurality of rectifier areas (43a). These trenches (11, 18) accommodate respective inner field-electrodes (31) and a perimeter field-electrode (38) that are connected to the Schottky electrode (3). The inner field-electrodes (11) are capacitively coupled to the drift region (4) via dielectric material (21) that lines the inner trenches (11). The perimeter field-electrode (38) is capacitively coupled across dielectric material (28) on the inside wall (18a) of the perimeter trench 18, without acting on any outside wall (18b). Furthermore, the inner and perimeter trenches (11, 18) are closely spaced and the intermediate areas (4a, 4b) of the drift region (4) are lowly doped. The spacing is so close and the doping is so low that the depletion layer (40) formed in the drift region (4), from the Schottky barrier (43) and from the field-relief regions (31,21; 38,28) in the blocking state of the rectifier, may deplete the whole of the intermediate areas (4a, 4b) between the trenches (11, 18) at a blocking voltage just below the breakdown voltage. This arrangement reduces the risk of premature breakdown that can occur at high field points in the depletion layer (40), especially at the perimeter of the array of rectifier areas (43a).

Abstract: In the manufacture of a trench-gate semiconductor device, for example a MOSFET or an IGBT, a starting semiconductor body (10) has two top layers (13, 15) provided for forming the source and body regions. Gate material (11null) is provided in a trench (20) with a trench etchant mask (51, FIG. 2) still present so that the gate material (11null) forms a protruding step (30) from the adjacent surface (10a) of the semiconductor body, and a side wall spacer (32) is then formed in the step (30) to replace the mask (51). The source region (13) is formed self-aligned with the protruding trench-gate structure with a lateral extent determined by the spacer (32, FIG. 5), and the gate (11) is then provided with an insulating overlayer (18, FIG. 6). Forming the sidewall spacer (32) when the protruding trench-gate structure has a well-defined edge provided by the gate material (11null) allows better definition of the source region (13) compared with a prior-art process in which the gate insulating overlayer is provided in the trench before causing the trench-gate structure to have the protruding step for the sidewall spacer.
