A system for monitoring a variable output paper processing device is provided. The monitoring system includes a counter which counts the number of papers processed and provides a count signal for each counted paper. A controller receives the count signals and totals the counts. The controller transmits the total count to a central station through a modem after either a predetermined time or a predetermined count. Internal diagnostic signals in the printing device are intercepted as they are transmitted to an internal display device of the printing device and transmitted to the central computer through the modem.

A sequence of data groups are modulated at a central location and coupled to a telephone line in response to a call-up signal. The sequence is transmitted through the telephone lines to a remote computer. The computer receives the signals, demodulates them, and couples them to a moemory. The data is stored at a particular address, and in coupling the data to the memory, the computer checks a flag at that address to determine whether the data has already been written over. When the flags indicate that the data received corresponds to data already written over, it signals the end of a transmission. The data stored in the memory can be accessed by an operator using input controls.

A modular heat sink decoupling capacitor array includes a plurality of modules, each defining parallel distributed decoupling plates, and each module forming a heat sink fin. Each module includes multiple spaced apart contacts for providing low inductance connections with an associated device. A power distribution interposer module is attached to a heat sink surface of the modular decoupling capacitor. The interposer module is used for implementing power delivery without using valuable ball grid array (BGA) connections and printed circuit board (PCB) layers.

An E-fuse and a method for fabricating an E-fuse are provided integrating polysilicon resistor masks. The E-fuse includes a polysilicon layer defining a fuse shape including a cathode, an anode, and a fuse neck connected between the cathode and the anode silicide formation. A silicide formation is formed on the polysilicon layer with an unsilicided portion extending over a portion of the cathode adjacent the fuse neck. The unsilicided portion substantially prevents current flow in the silicide formation region of the cathode, with electromigration occurring in the fuse neck during fuse programming. The unsilicided portion has a substantially lower series resistance than the series resistance of the fuse neck.

Electrically programmable fuse structures and methods of fabrication thereof are presented, wherein a fuse includes first and second terminal portions interconnected by an elongate fuse element. The first terminal portion has a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the fuse element, and the fuse includes a narrowed width region where the first terminal portion and fuse element interface. The narrowed width region extends at least partially into and includes part of the first terminal portion. The width of the first terminal portion in the narrowed region is less than the maximum width of the first terminal portion to enhance current crowding therein. In another implementation, the fuse element includes a restricted width region wherein width of the fuse element is less than the maximum width thereof to enhance current crowding therein, and length of the restricted width region is less than a total length of the fuse element.

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing automatic-calibration of a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) probing apparatus. A calibration procedure is performed automatically each time a TDR probe is moved from a device under test (DUT). A current calibration TDR waveform is obtained and compared with a reference calibration TDR waveform, checking for deviations between the current and reference measurements. If a deviation is detected, then the user is notified and calibration is failed.

Methods of forming a semiconductor structure having FinFET's and planar devices, such as MOSFET's, on a common substrate by a damascene approach. A semiconductor fin of the FinFET is formed on a substrate with damascene processing in which the fin growth may be interrupted to implant ions that are subsequently transformed into a region that electrically isolates the fin from the substrate. The isolation region is self-aligned with the fin because the mask used to form the damascene-body fin also serves as an implantation mask for the implanted ions. The fin may be supported by the patterned layer during processing that forms the FinFET and, more specifically, the gate of the FinFET. The electrical isolation surrounding the FinFET may also be supplied by a self-aligned process that recesses the substrate about the FinFET and at least partially fills the recess with a dielectric material.
