Abstract:
A semiconductor device (and method for forming the device) includes a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer formed on a substrate surface. An isolation trench in the wafer surface surrounds alternating p-type trenches and n-type trenches and electrically isolates the device from the substrate, thereby allowing the device to be effectively utilized as a differential detector in an optoelectronic circuit.
Abstract:
The mapping system comprises an electromagnetic field generator (110), a layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material (150) over an object (140), and an infrared camera (180). The electromagnetic field generator is adapted to generate an electromagnetic field (130) and expose the electromagnetic field absorbing material and object to the electromagnetic field. The layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material is adapted to absorb the electromagnetic field and generate areas of thermal differences (145 a-g) within the electromagnetic field absorbing material. The infrared camera is adapted to detect the areas of thermal differences.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cordless modem including a pair of radio units interfacing to a standard data/fax modem in order that the user of a personal computer can connect to a telephone line by radio. SOLUTION: One of the pair of the radio units 32 and 34 is set to be a remote unit 32 interfacing to a modem housed in a PC(personal computer) and the other is set to be a base station unit 34 connected to a standard wall telephone jack. By this solving way, a user obtains the convenience and freedom of using the PC, a lap top, a personal digital assistant(PDA), etc., within the range of 100 to 200m from the telephone jack without the interference of a code. When a signal intensity between one pair of the radio units 32 and 34 is not more than a prescribed threshold value, an alarm on the remote unit informs the user of it.
Abstract:
A CORDLESS MODEM COMPRISES A RADIO PAIR INTERFACED TO A STANDARD DATA/FAX MODEM (36) WHICH ALLOWS A USER OF A PERSONAL COMPUTER (30) TO WIRELESSLY CONNECT TO A TELEPHONE LINE. ONE END OF THE RADIO PAIR IS A REMOTE UNIT (32) INTERFACED TO THE MODEM CONTAINED WITHIN THE PC WHILE THE OTHER END IS A BASE UNIT (34) CONNECTED TO A STANDARD TELEPHONE WALL JACK (40, 90). 'THIS ARRANGEMENT ALLOWS THE USER THE CONVENIENCE AND FREEDOM OF USING A PC, LAPTOP, PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT, ETC., WITHIN SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET OF A PHONE JACK WITHOUT BEING ENCUMBERED BY A CORD. A WARNING ALARM (61) ON THE REMOTE UNIT INFORMS THE USER WHEN THE SIGNAL STRENGTH BETWEEN THE RADIO PAIR IS BELOW A THRESHOLD VALUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE BASE UNIT MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH TWO SPATIALLY SEPARATED ANTENNAS (70, 70') TO HELP MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF SIGNAL FADING.
