Abstract:
A write signal control circuit in an optical disk drive for adjusting the duty cycle of the write signals by a duty cycle adjusting unit. The write signal control circuit includes a write signal generator for converting an EFM signal into the write signals according to the write strategy waveform generating rules, a duty cycle adjusting unit for adjusting the duty cycle of each write signal according to adjusting parameters and for outputting adjusted write signals, and a duty cycle detector for detecting the duty cycle of each adjusted write signal and outputting a respective duty cycle control signal. The duty cycle adjusting unit further receives the duty cycle control signal to adapt the adjusting parameters.

Abstract:
A non-volatile memory structure having a higher gate-coupling ratio. The structure includes a substrate, shallow trench isolation layers, buried source/drain terminals, tunnel oxide layers, a floating gate with a three-dimensional structure, dielectric layers and a control gate. A portion of the floating gate is located inside an opening in the dielectric layer so that a three-dimensional structure formed. Since the subsequently formed control gate has a larger effective surface area, a higher gate-coupling ratio is obtained.
Abstract:
A process for the formation of an epoxy compound comprising contacting a substrate compound having an olefinic double bond with a peroxide compound in the presence of a peroxide activator, said peroxide activator corresponding to the formula: where Ro is a substituent having an electron withdrawing strength not less than that of monochloromethyl.
Abstract:
A fixing device in a venetian blind integrally made of high molecular material comprises a cord engaging part, a band passing part, and a core. The cord engaging part is at one side of a base, having two engaging plates oppositely and crossly disposed and a joint to connect with each other. Each of the engaging plates has an engaging groove near the joint thereof, and an engaging chamber is formed in the base. The band passing part is at the other side of the base having two opposite and crossly arranged sticks. An elongated gap formed between each stick and one edge on the base respectively and a bottom gap formed between the bottom part of each stick and the base respectively. The core is at the center of the base is formed at center of the base with a central axial through hole along the base.
Abstract:
Multiple novel reaction schemes, novel process steps and novel intermediates are provided for the synthesis of epoxymexrenone, useful as a diuretic, and other compounds of Formula I wherein the variables are as defined by the specification.
Abstract:
