Abstract:
A compressed header format is used for messages transmitted in a wireless network. The compressed header includes a first address field and a frame control field including at least one bit specifying whether the first address is for an access point of the wireless communications network. The frame control field may further include at least one additional bit identifying whether the frame is being relayed by a relay node positioned between the access point and a wireless station. The frame control field may further include at least one further bit identifying whether AID is used for the first address field.
Abstract:
A thermal annealing flow process includes the steps of: depositing a metal or metal alloy on a silicon semiconductor structure, performing a first annealing of a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) type to produce a metal rich phase in a portion of the silicon semiconductor structure, removing unreacted metal or metal alloy and performing a second annealing as a millisecond annealing at a temperature that is below a melt temperature of the silicon material present in the silicon semiconductor structure.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to fluid filtering systems and methods for use during semiconductor processing. One or more embodiments are directed to fluid filtering systems and methods for filtering ions and particles from a fluid as the fluid is being provided to a semiconductor wafer processing tool, such as to a semiconductor wafer cleaning tool.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a user presence detection device having: a camera module (102) with a silicon-based image sensor (108) adapted to capture an image; and a processing device (104) configured to process said image to detect the presence of a user, wherein the camera module further comprises a light filter (107) having a lower cut-off wavelength of between 550 nm and 700 nm.
