摘要： A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) includes a Y-select circuit (218) that connects a pair of bit lines (204a and 204b) to a pair of sense nodes (210a and 210b). The Y-select circuit (218) provides a first impedance in a read operation, and a second impedance that is lower than the first impedance, in a write operation. Changes in Y-select circuit (218) impedance are achieved by driving transistors (N210a and N210b) within the Y-select circuit (218) with a first voltage during a read operation, and a second voltage during a write operation.

摘要： A compact data line arrangement (600) includes “twisted” data line pairs (604a-604c) disposed in a first direction. Each twisted data line pair (604a-604c) includes an upper segment pair (608a-608f) that is connected to a lower segment pair (610a-610f) by a twist structure (612a-612c). The upper and lower segment pairs (608a-608f and 610a-610f) can be formed with a first pitch using phase-shifted lithography. The twist structures (612a-612c) are formed from a second conductive layer, and have a greater pitch than the first pitch. The twist structures (612a-612c) are generally arranged in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. Selected twist structures (612b) are offset in the first direction with respect to adjacent twist structures (612a and 612c). The offset twist structures (612a-612c) allow supplemental conductive lines (618) to be formed from the first conductive layer that extend in the first direction, between adjacent offset twist structures (612a and 612b).

摘要： An airbed having multi-zone air mattress is provided having a control that can identify the configuration of any of a plurality of hand control units connected thereto and can interpret control functions differently based on the identified unit configuration. A plurality of normally closed valves seal pressures in each of the zones when power to an air pump is off while mattress zone pressures are constantly monitored and the measurements sent by the control through a communications port for monitoring of the motion or care of a user of the bed and for analysis and diagnosis. When pump power is on, the pressure in the zones is regulated at predetermined pressure settings ideal for the user. Deviations from ideal pressure cause a programmed controller to calculate inflation or deflation times for the respective zones that would be required to inflate or exhaust the zones to the desired pressures. Ideal pressures for individual users are automatically calculated by inflating the zones to initial pressures and sealing them. Then, a user reclines on the bed and pressures are measured. From the measured pressures, ideal pressure settings are calculated that will support the user in an ideal manner, such as maintaining the user in an ideal sleeping posture with a minimum amount of pressure in the zones. The sitting up of the user, the sitting of the user on the edge of the bed, the adjustment of bed inclination angles and other non-reclining conditions are detected by analysis of the pressures in the zones or information from other sources to set pressures particularly suited to such conditions.

摘要： A process for forming N-channel MOS sources and drains, by implanting both phosphorus and arsenic. The high diffusivity of phosphorus causes it to diffuse in advance of the bulk of the arsenic, so that, after annealing, the source/drain regions have graded regions of gradually decreasing conductivity adjacent to the end of the channels. Thus the electric potential gradient at the ends of the channels is reduced, and impact ionization and hot carrier effects are avoided. The effective radius of the source (or drain) junction is increased, providing increased breakdown voltage.
