Abstract:
An MOSFET includes a substrate, an active region on the substrate, a first insulating element and a second insulating element located a distance apart from each other on the active region, the first and second insulating elements dividing the active region into a source region, a drain region, and a channel region, the channel region being disposed between the source region and the drain region, a third insulating film over the active region between the first and second insulating films, and a gate electrode over the third insulating film.
Abstract:
A device and method for assigning an input/output (I/O) base address from a plurality of I/O base addresses to a circuit card in need of an I/O base address and connected to a common bus is disclosed. The method, as carried out by the device, includes the steps of: selecting an I/O base address for consideration; attempting a read operation to read data out of registers of a circuit card corresponding to the I/O address; sensing whether the read operation has resulted in data or a high impedance state on the common bus, the high impedance state indicating that no device has been assigned to the I/O base address and the data indicating that the address is already assigned to another device; assigning the address to the device-in-need if the high impedance state is sensed on the common bus; and selecting another I/O base address for consideration if the data is sensed on the common bus.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for collecting waste heat of exhaust gas and reducing white smoke, and an apparatus to which the method can be easily applied, the method comprising the steps of: introducing exhaust gas from an exhaust gas supply source including high-temperature steam to a heat and moisture exchange unit, collecting latent heat of the steam contained in the exhaust gas by making contact between the exhaust gas and a solution containing hydroscopic salts, condensing the collected latent heat, and discharging the processed exhaust gas to the outside of the heat and moisture exchange unit; and concentrating, cooling, and circulating the solution containing the hydroscopic salts by discharging, to a lower part of the heat and moisture exchange unit, a mixture of the solution containing the hydroscopic salts and condensation water.
