    摘要: A semiconductor memory device according to the present invention comprises a number of memory cells that store multiple voltage levels. Each voltage level is uniquely assigned to a different logic level. Multiple binary codes are converted to various analog voltage levels by a digital to analog converter. The memory cell of the invention comprises a storage capacitor and transfer gates, each terminal of which is connected to a bit line through the transfer gate for isolating the storage capacitor from the interference of other circuits while it is not accessed. In the writing cycle, analog voltage can be stored in the storage capacitor of each cell by applying the assigned analog voltage generated by the digital to analog converter through, bit lines and the transfer gates that control the conductivity between the bit lines and storage capacitor. In the reading cycle, a stored voltage can be applied to a digital to analog converter by making the transfer gates conductive between the storage capacitor and the bit lines. The invention further comprises a set of transfer gates, which comprises a pair of complementary types of transistors such as n-channel CMOS FET and p-channel CMOS FET, which are connected in a parallel configuration for the purpose of cancelling the gate to channel noise. The set of transfer gates is used in the connection between said storage capacitor and a set of bit lines to reduce the switching noise which limits the possible number of voltage levels in the storage capacitor which corresponds to the number of storable binary codes per unit cell. The pair of transistors similarly configured are also used to discharge the storage capacitor and stray capacitor between the bit lines for reducing noise interference to the storage capacitor.

    摘要: A microchannel plate has a platelike photosensitive glass substrate and a plurality of microchannels formed separately from each other and extending across the thickness of the substrate. A secondary electron-emission surface is formed on an inner surface of each of the microchannels. Accelerating electrodes formed on two opposite sides of the photosensitive glass substrate, so as to be partially in electrical contact with the secondary-emission surface. The microchannels are formed by applying ultraviolet rays to the substrate through a mask and removing irradiated portions of the substrate by etching.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for improved fingerprint recognition. A fingerprint image associated with an authorized user can be captured with a sensor. Direction vectors for a plurality of pixels of the first fingerprint image are then calculated. Next, characteristic points of the fingerprint image are located in a first coordinate system. The fingerprint central nucleus is determined based on the calculated direction vectors, and is expressed in the first coordinate system. Subsequently, a second coordinate system having an origin located relative to the fingerprint central nucleus is determined. Thereafter, the characteristic points of the fingerprint image are mapped to the second coordinate system. Finally, the fingerprint central nucleus and fingerprint characteristic points expressed in the second coordinate system are saved as a fingerprint template.
