Abstract:
A method of forming a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor device including providing a substrate, forming an insulating layer on the substrate, forming a process layer on the insulating layer, implanting ions into the process layer adjacent the insulating layer, and forming a strained silicon layer over the process layer. Implanting ions into the process layer adjacent the insulating layer reduces floating body effects of the semiconductor device, while the strained silicon layer covers surface defects form by the implanted ions in the process layer to enhance mobility of the semiconductor device.
Abstract:
Serial clustering uses two or more network devices connected in series via a local and/or wide-area network to provide additional capacity when network traffic exceeds the processing capabilities of a single network device. When a first network device reaches its capacity limit, any excess network traffic beyond that limit is passed through the first network device unchanged. A network device connected in series with the first network device intercepts and will process the excess network traffic provided that it has sufficient processing capacity. Additional network devices can process remaining network traffic in a similar manner until all of the excess network traffic has been processed or until there are no more additional network devices. Network devices may use rules to determine how to handle network traffic. Rules may be based on the attributes of received network packets, attributes of the network device, or attributes of the network.

An one-way rotation control mechanism used in a golf cart's wheel to control one-way rotation of the wheel on a wheel axle is disclosed to include a bushing affixed to the wheel axle, and a clutch mounted in and fixedly connected to the wheel to control linking between the wheel and the fixed bushing at the wheel axle in one direction.
Abstract:
Network proxies reduce server latency in response to series of requests from client applications. Network proxies intercept messages clients and a server. Intercepted client requests are compared with rules. When client requests match a rule, additional request messages are forwarded to the server on behalf of a client application. In response to the additional request messages, the server provides corresponding response messages. A network proxy intercepts and caches the response messages. Subsequent client requests are intercepted by the network application proxy and compared with the cached messages. If a cached response message corresponds with a client request message, the response message is returned to the client application immediately instead of re-requesting the same information from the server. A server-side network proxy can compare client requests with the rules and send additional request messages. The corresponding response messages can be forwarded to a client-side network proxy for caching.
Abstract:
An improved structure of light box for a game machine, wherein the light box comprises a body with a predetermined side thickness and a covering frame which is mounted thereon with a panel; the body of the light box and the covering frame with the panel are mounted therebetween with a reflective frame made of transparent material, the reflective frame is defined between the body of the light box and the covering frame with the panel after being assembled and positioned to form a transparent outer peripheral frame that reveals at the external surface of the light box and can be seen from different positions around said game machine. Thus the improved light box is formed and can increase displaying function of the light effect of the game machine to attract attention of the consumers in different directions in site.

Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provides a system and method for SAP FM demodulation. The system includes a bandpass filter for isolating the SAP signal, a Hilbert filter to produce a copy of the SAP signal phase shifted by 90 degrees, an FM demodulator for demodulating the SAP signal using the phase shifted SAP signal and a delayed SAP signal, and a lowpass filter to eliminate noise from the FM demodulated SAP signal. The system may also include an automatic gain control for normalizing amplitude of FM demodulator input signals. The digital FM demodulator uses a simplified approximation using non-unity delay for simplified demodulation of frequency modulated signals.
Abstract:
A wire feeder driving mechanism capable of driving a wire feeder of a spring manufacturing machine to perform a three-dimensional movement. The spring manufacturing machine includes a machine base and a work table. The work table has an opening and a plurality of tool seats. The opening provides the feeding chuck of the wire feeder a moving space. The tool seat is provided to install a tool set to move back and forth on the work table. The wire feeder is assembled with a plurality of axial driving devices. The axial driving device is able to receive power and to move perpendicular to each other. The metal wire led through the wire feeder is thereby able to approach the tool seat in a three-dimensional manner. The spring manufacturing machine is therefore able to produce various complicated springs.
Abstract:
A method of generating a protected standard delay format (SDF) file is disclosed. The interconnect delay descriptions of a SDF file are backwardly or forwardly integrated into the related cell delay descriptions according to their interconnection type to generate the protected SDF file. The total delay value of each signal path is the same as original, so that the simulation result generated by a simulator is not affected.
Abstract:
In a network supporting transactions between clients and servers over a network path having operating characteristics to overcome, data is transported to overcome the operating characteristics using user affinities and dynamic user location information to selectively preload data, or representations, signatures, segments, etc. of data, in order to overcome the one or more operating characteristic. Examples of operating characteristics to overcome include bandwidth limitations, errors and latency. The dynamic location information can be stored in data structures accessible by agents of a data server and the data structures are populated based on user activities with respect to proxies associated with user locations, or the dynamic location information can be obtained implicitly as proxies maintain connections after termination by clients and the use of those maintained connections for preloading of data for the users associated with those clients. The data being preloaded can be protocol-specific data or protocol-independent data.
