Abstract:
A method and system for establishing a call between two endpoints residing on different media gateways in a decomposed voice over packet architecture. Cluster attributes identifying alternate bearer possibilities are exchanged between media gateways as part of capabilities negotiation which occurs during call setup conducted by an external call control element over a core network. The media gateways analyze the cluster attributes to determine whether bearer possibilities exist apart from the core network. If an alternate bearer possibility exists, the alternate is employed and the call is established via the alternate bearer directly between the media gateways, thus bypassing the core network.

Abstract:
Methods for preparing microparticles having reduced residual solvent levels. Microparticles are contacted with a non-aqueous washing system to reduce the level of residual solvent in the microparticles. Preferred non-aqueous washing systems include 100% ethanol and a blend of ethanol and heptane. A solvent blend of a hardening solvent and a washing solvent can be used to harden and wash microparticles in a single step, thereby eliminating the need for a post-hardening wash step.

The first J-FET is normally-on, while the second J-FET is normally-off.

Abstract:
A spare capacity planning tool for planning spare capacity in a transport network during a multiple-span failure following a single failure event. The spare capacity planning tool simulates restoration of a transport network regardless of the sequence of failures. The system and method utilize a permutation reducer to minimize the number of sequences to be verified during simulated or actual restoration activities. The permutation reducer reduces the number of sequences to to during simulated restoration activities to a first order function rather than a factorial function of the number of failed spans.
Abstract:
In a silicon carbide semiconductor device such as a trench gate type power MOSFET, the film thickness and the impurity concentration of a thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer formed on a trench side face to constitute an accumulation-type channel-forming region and enable the device to operate with a low gate voltage, low on-resistance and low power loss are set so that on impression of a reverse bias voltage a pn junction between a P-type epitaxial layer and an n.sup.- -type epitaxial layer undergoes avalanche breakdown before the thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer undergoes punch-through. By this means it is possible to obtain a target high source-drain withstand voltage.

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate including a first conductivity type first semiconductor layer and a second conductivity type second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer. A unit cell for controlling current flowing between a source electrode and a drain electrode is formed in the semiconductor substrate. A trench is formed in a peripheral region of the unit cell to form mesa structure. A field relaxing layer is formed between an insulating film on a side face of the second trench and both the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer in order to relax concentration of an electric field in the insulating film.
