Byron Lovell Williams - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H01L 21/20

US Classification:

438386, 257E21477

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for passivating and contacting a capacitor in an IC above a top level of interconnect metallization, without adding process steps. Passivation is accomplished by a dielectric layer, part of the IC protective overcoat, deposited directly on the capacitor, overlapping the electrode edges. Contact is made to the top electrode of the capacitor by etching small capacitor vias during a bond pad via etch process, followed by depositing and patterning bond pad metal in the capacitor vias to connect the top electrode to other circuit elements in the IC. The top electrode thickness is increased to accommodate the bond pad via etch process.

VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING, INC. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04B 17/00

US Classification:

375227

Abstract:

A device may include one or more components and a processor. The one or more components may obtain bit-error-rates of a signal and signal-to-noise ratios of the signal. The processor may select a target signal-to-noise ratio for the signal, determine a target noise level based on the target signal-to-noise ratio, set a noise level of the signal to the target noise level, determine a signal-to-noise ratio of the signal via the one or more components, adjust the noise level of the signal based on the determined signal-to-noise ratio, to stabilize the signal-to-noise ratio, determine a bit-error-rate of the signal via the one or more components, and record the bit-error-rate.

International Classification:

H04W 4/02

US Classification:

4554563

Abstract:

An approach is provided to present station location information to one or more mobile devices. A request is received to provide station location information to a mobile device. Station location information is generated, in response to the request, the station location information including station location information of one or more radio stations that correspond to the location of the mobile device. The station location information is transmitted to the mobile device.

Inventors:

Stephen John Clark - Allen TX, US

International Classification:

H04N 17/00

US Classification:

348192, 348E17001

Abstract:

A system may include a media content processing subsystem associated with a subscriber. The media content processing subsystem may be configured to scan at least a subset of channels of a media broadcast to create a spectrum block map; determine a spectrum block of a channel of a media broadcast indicated as being a troubled channel; and identify, according to the spectrum block map, at least one additional channel of the media broadcast included in the spectrum block of the troubled channel.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

395500

Abstract:

An information system (10) including a plurality of computer systems is provided. The information system (10) includes a first computer system (16) having an IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18). The first computer system (16) is operable to communicate SNA and non-SNA protocol information via the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18). The information system (10) includes a second computer system (40) having a SCSI bus (38). The second computer system (40) is operable to communicate SCSI protocol information via the SCSI bus (38). An adapter (36) is coupled to the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18) of the first computer system (16) and the SCSI bus (38) of the second computer system (40). The adapter (36) is operable to interface the SCSI bus (38) with the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18) to allow bi-directional communication between the first computer system (16) and the second computer system (40).

US Classification:

703 27

Abstract:

A computer network environment (10) allowing connection of a client system (36) to a legacy host system (18,19) using a server (26) is provided. The computer network environment (10) includes a legacy host system (18,19) having TCP/IP connectivity. The legacy host system (18,19) is operable to support a terminal session for access to the legacy host system (18,19). The computer network environment (10) also includes a server system (24) executing a client thread (28) under a server (26). The client thread (28) is operable to communicate with the legacy host system (18,19) across a persistent TCP/IP socket connection (30). The computer network environment (10) further includes a client system (36) executing an applet process (42) under a web browser (38). The applet process (42) is operable to communicate with the client thread (28) across another persistent TCP/IP socket connection (44) and is operable to provide a terminal session to a user of the client system (36). This terminal session is supported by a persistent connection allowing real-time bidirectional communication with the legacy host system (18,19).
