Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for realizing an optical cross connection exchange that can switch optical signals relating to many optical channels and requires only a few wavelength selection elements to each passing signal path and to provide an exchange. SOLUTION: The number of the wavelength selection elements having been required for signal paths of a conventional optical cross connection exchange is considerably reduced in the new optical cross connection exchange of this invention. A single optical channel distributor or more distributors accept wavelength multiplex optical signal as an input. Each signal includes channels, each of which is related to a single wavelength or more. Each distributor is distributed to any of a plurality of wavelength selection cross connectors arranged to receive each channel of the related wavelength multiplex input signal from the single or a plurality of distributors relating to a unique subset among a plurality of wavelengths.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device that can dynamically exchange data among participants to a phone conference. SOLUTION: A medium exchange monitor in this invention is disclosed; when a call between two concerned parties is made in a phone conference (an adhoc conference) (1), a mixer is incorporated for the call between the two concerned parties, when participants of the phone conference retire from the conference by leaving only the two participants (2), elimination of the mixer is selectively conducted. A packet phone system responds to a request to the phone conference by connecting the mixer to serve the phone conference between the concerned parties. In the case that the participants except the two participants only retire from the conference, the mixer is eliminated from the phone conference. In the case that a change of elimination/adoption of the mixer is required, the medium exchange monitor first inquires of each participant about each capability to realize desirable connection performance.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and its method for keeping constant relatively a gain per channel of an optical channel in an optical amplification WDM system even when an input intensity of an optical amplifier changes. SOLUTION: A gain of an optical amplifier is controlled by controlling a pumping intensity amount to be supplied to the optical amplifier as a function of a change of an optical input intensity to be measured in a feed forward monitoring route. The pumping intensity amount is adjusted according to a proportional relationship with respect to the measured input intensity. The pumping intensity is directly controlled, so that the gain of the optical amplifier is controlled in a time scale of less than microsecond from a detection of a change of the input intensity. Furthermore, a gain per channel in the amplified WDM signal is kept relatively constant irrespective of the change of the input intensity of the optical amplifier, thereby reducing substantially an intensity deflection in an optical channel in which the WDM signal is left behind.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pattern-moving process monitoring method in a semiconductor device manufacturing method. SOLUTION: A pattern feature formed on an etched semiconductor layer is installed in the collector 124 of an apparatus 110, such as an electron microscope, and a first amplitude modulation waveform intensity signal is obtained in a controller 132. First amplitude modulation waveform intensity signal is sampled, and the measurement value population of the critical dimension measurement value is extracted. The pattern feature is etched and is re-scanned. A second amplitude modulation waveform intensity signal is obtained and is similarly sampled, and the second measurement value population of the critical dimension measurement value is extracted. The first and second measurement value populations are mutually correlated. When correct adjustment is executed, when a higher harmonic component appears markedly in the edge part of the pattern feature, for example, it is compared with the known data accumulated in a database 139, the correlation value of etching process is obtained, and the tool 134 can be adjusted.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a titanium-tantalum barrier thin film and a method for forming a thin film. SOLUTION: In a titanium-tantalum barrier thin film used together with an interconnecting thin film of copper, a relatively excessive titanium/insufficient tantalum portion is formed near the boundary between the thin film and a dielectric thin film, and a relatively excessive tantalum/insufficient titanium portion is formed near the boundary between the thin film and a conductive interconnecting thin film formed on the barrier layer. Excessive titanium/ insufficient tantalum portion causes the thin film, to firmly stick to the dielectric thin film and the excessive tantalum/insufficient titanium portion suppresses formation of an intermetallic compound by forming a hetero-epitaxial interface with the interconnecting thin film. The single titanium-tantalum thin film, having a compositional gradient from the top to the bottom, can be formed by various techniques including PVD, CVD, sputter deposition using a sputtering target having a uniform composition, and sputter deposition using a plurality of sputtering targets. A synthetic titanium-tantalum thin film is composed of two separately formed thin films.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device minimizing voltage swing of a bit line and between bit lines of a SRAM and minimizing its spare charge and a reading time. SOLUTION: Relating to this device, a reinforced sense amplifier is provided to the last column of a storage device array. The reinforced sense amplifier detects that differential voltage between bit lines exceeds the minimum detectable threshold value of the reinforced sense amplifier. When differential voltage between bit lines exceeds the minimum detectable threshold of the reinforced sense amplifier, the reinforced sense amplifier makes a feedback signal to a reading control circuit valid, thereby, when differential voltage between bit lines reaches the minimum differential voltage being detectable by the sense amplifier, reading operation is immediately stopped substantially.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate detection for plural satellites even when an integration time of a correlator of a GPS receiver is long. SOLUTION: An area for a satellite signal searched by the GPS receiver and a code phase searching range are effectively narrowed based on information accumulated in the last search and a search message to facilitate the detection for the satellites, and the satellites are thereby searched successively.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system where a confusing effect of an arrived call that may be given onto a meeting on progress can be minimized and a user of a wireless phone can minimize inconvenience of a caller of the arrived call. SOLUTION: The telephone set includes an answer-and-hold function. The telephone set replies an arrived call depending on the entry of the user, outputs a greeting message in response to the arrived call and keeps the connection state. Thus, the called party can modestly hold the call to be in the connection state until the called party reaches a convenient state of conversation entry. For example, the wireless phone of this invention includes a controller, a user entry unit and a message transmission unit. The controller allows the message transmission unit to output a specific transmission message in response to the arrival of the call and a specific instruction from the user entry unit. The controller maintains the connection state of the arrived call so that the user can communication with the caller at a point of time after the greeting message is started.
