A method of forming an SRAM cell device includes the following steps. Form pass gate FET transistors and form a pair of vertical pull-down FET transistors with a first common body and a first common source in a silicon layer patterned into parallel islands formed on a planar insulator. Etch down through upper diffusions between cross-coupled inverter FET transistors to form pull-down isolation spaces bisecting the upper strata of pull-up and pull-down drain regions of the pair of vertical pull-down FET transistors, with the isolation spaces reaching down to the common body strata. Form a pair of vertical pull-up FET transistors with a second common body and a second common drain. Then, connect the FET transistors to form an SRAM cell.

A downhole drilling apparatus incorporating an orientation sensor (24) is disclosed. The orientation sensor is mounted to a housing (16) for providing a signal representing the orientation of the housing, and is connected to a first transceiver coil (26). A second transceiver coil (30) and a series of magnets (32) are mounted to a rotary shaft (18). As the shaft rotates relative to the housing, passage of the magnets past the first transceiver coil generates a voltage to provide electrical power to the sensor, and electromagnetic coupling between the first and second transceiver coils enables signals from the sensor to be transmitted to a measurement while drilling tool mounted on the rotary shaft.

The luminous elements of the three colours red, green and blue of a plasma video display have different time responses. Therefore, a coloured trail/edge appears behind and in front of the edges of a moving object. In order to reduce the disturbing character of such coloured trails/edges, correcting the video data for blue and red phosphor elements to compensate for the different time responses discolour them. Then only a discoloured trail/edge appears which is less disturbing.

A multi-function memory array that includes a DRAM distributed in several DRAM sectors, a Flash EEPROM distributed in several Flash EEPROM sectors, a data bus interconnecting the DRAM sectors and the Flash EEPROM sectors, and a plurality of memory access control circuitries. Each DRAM sector and Flash EEPROM sector can be accessed independently and data can be transferred between a DRAM sector and a Flash EEPROM sector. External data can also be written into either DRAM or Flash EEPROM. Flash EEPROM in one sector is distributed in rows and columns, and cells in each column are separated from the cells in an adjacent column by deep trench isolation regions.

Non invasive measurement of infant lung function during unsedated sleep is achieved by a plethysmograph which comprises of a rigid acrylic box (10) with integral water sealed spirometer (11) and a vacuum-actuated neck seal (20) allowing "head out" monitoring. The neck seal comprises particulate material entrapped in the space between two layers of rubber, which become rigid when a vacuum is applied to the space. Tidal volume, respiratory rate and changes in functional residual capacity (FRC) are able to be recorded during unsedated REM and NREM sleep whilst monitoring with conventional polysomnographic methods. The head out configuration allows additional instrumentation to be used, avoids facial stimulation and allows unimpeded access to the upper airway.

The invention relates to a control device (10) for use in an ambient light control system (20) for controlling ambient light entering a space (1) through an opening (2). An ambient light prediction unit (11) provides ambient light prediction values, which are predictions of an ambient light property at the opening (2). An ambient light adjusting unit (12) provides, at different ambient light adjusting time points, an ambient light adjusting signal depending on the ambient light prediction values for an upcoming ambient light prediction time period. The ambient light adjusting signal is adapted for use by an ambient light modifying element (22) for modifying the entering of ambient light into the space (1) through the opening (2). By taking the predicted ambient light conditions at the opening (2) into account, necessary adjustments can be made at temporally spaced ambient light adjusting time points, resulting in fewer disturbances of the users.
