Electronic direction finder

Abstract: An electronic direction finder (10) includes a navigation receiver (28) and a compass (32) to generate a bearing signal that indicates that direction of a desired destination. The bearing signal is received by a display driver (34) which causes an electronic display (14) to generate a visible image of a rotatable pointer that points in the direction of the user's desired destination. Preferably, the display also shows an electronic compass card indicating the direction of north.

Positioning Reference Signal Assistance Data Signaling for Enhanced Interference Coordination in a Wireless Communication Network

Abstract: A method in a wireless communication terminal is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first signal including a desired second signal and an interference component, wherein the interference component includes at least a third signal transmitted in an Almost Blank Subframe (ABS) by a neighbor cell, and configuring the wireless communication terminal to employ interference reduction to process the first signal based on a configuration of the interference component.

UV cure process and tool for low k film formation

Abstract: A process and system for forming a low dielectric film in a semiconductor fabrication process are disclosed. Initially, a carbon-doped silicon oxide film is deposited on a semiconductor wafer. Light energy, such as ultraviolet (UV) energy, is then applied to the deposited film to cure the film. In one embodiment, at least 30% of the light energy is at a frequency greater than that of visible light. In the preferred embodiment, the application of the light energy to the wafer does not significantly heat the wafer. The invention further contemplates a cluster tool or system suitable for forming and curing the dielectric film. The cluster tool includes a first chamber coupled to an organosilane source, a second chamber configured to apply light energy to a wafer received in the second chamber, and a robotic section suitable for controlling movement of wafers between the first chamber and the second chamber.

Wireless electrostatic charging and communicating system

Abstract: The wireless electrostatic charging and communicating system includes an electrostatic reader, an electrostatic charger and an electrostatic rechargeable device or electrostatic transceiver such as such as a smart card or radio frequency identification (RFID) card without requiring physical contact to electrodes. The electrostatic system is capacitance based and the charging and communicating occurs over capacitively coupled electrostatic electrodes or electrostatic electrodes. The electrostatic rechargeable device or transceiver includes a charge receiver and an energy storage means, for being charged or communicated with in the electrostatic system. The energy storage means may be any energy storage device including a rechargeable battery or capacitor. In a second embodiment, the electrostatic rechargeable device or transceiver includes an electrostatic charge receiver and an electromagnetic charge receiver with the energy storage means so that it may be alternatively charged or communicated with in an electrostatic system or an electromagnetic system for compatibility in either system.

Nationwide display pager with location readout.

Abstract: A selective call receiver (Fig. 2) for receiving and displaying information in a nationwide communication system (Fig. 1) includes circuitry (40) to decode and process transmitted channel identification information. The receiver (Fig. 2) displays channel identification indicia in response to a user interrogation thereby confirming proper operation of the receiver (Fig. 2) on the system (Fig. 1) at the expected location.
