    摘要: A field effect transistor (“FET”) is provided has a semiconductor region including a channel region, a source region and a drain region and a gate conductor overlying the channel region. Such FET has a first threshold voltage having a first magnitude and a second threshold voltage having a second magnitude higher than the first magnitude, both threshold voltages being effective at the same time. The FET is operable in response to a gate-source voltage between the gate conductor and the source region in multiple states including at least: a) an essentially nonconductive state when a magnitude of the gate-source voltage is less than the first magnitude and less than the second magnitude, the source-drain current then being at most a negligible value; b) a first conductive state when the magnitude of the gate-source voltage is greater than the first magnitude and less than the second magnitude, the source-drain current then having a first operating value about ten or more times higher than the negligible value; and c) a second conductive state when the magnitude of the gate-source voltage is greater than first magnitude and the second magnitude, in which state the source-drain current has a second operating value ten or more times higher than the first operating value.

    摘要: A circuit is provided which is operable to program an electrically alterable element, e.g., fuse or antifuse, to a programmed state and determine whether the electrically alterable element is in the programmed state or not. Such circuit includes a multiple conduction state field effect transistor (“multi-state FET”) having at least one of a source or a drain coupled to the electrically alterable element to apply a current to the electrically alterable element. The multi-state FET has a first threshold voltage and a second threshold voltage, both being effective at the same time, the second threshold voltage being higher than the first threshold voltage. The gate is operable to control operation of the multi-state FET in multiple states including a) an essentially nonconductive state; b) a first or “low” conductive state when a gate-source voltage exceeds the first threshold voltage, in which the multi-state FET is biased to conduct a relatively low magnitude current for determining the state of the fuse; and c) a second conductive state when the gate-source voltage exceeds the second threshold voltage, in which the multi-state FET is biased to conduct a relatively high magnitude programming current.

    摘要: A system and method for controlling animated characters. The system involves an animated character mapping perception into a number of domains, including a world domain, linguistic domain and social domain. The system is computationally perceived items that should be abstracted from the character's environment for processing. The animated character is able to utilize different levels of information gathering or learning, different levels of decision making, and different levels of dynamic responses to provide life-like interactions.

    摘要: The invention provides a universal leakage monitoring system (ULMS) to measure a plurality of leakage macros during the development of a manufacturing process or a normal operation period. The ULMS characterizes the leakage of both n-type and p-type CMOS devices on the gate dielectric leakage, the sub-threshold leakage, and the reverse biased junction leakage, and the like. Testing is performed sequentially from the first test macro up to the last test macro using an on-chip algorithm. When the last test macro is tested, it scans the leakage data out.
