Shifts in the apparent charge stored on a charge storing element of a non-volatile memory cell can occur because of the coupling of an electric field based on the charge stored in adjacent charge storing elements. To compensate for this coupling, the programming process for a given memory cell can take into account the target programmed state of one or more adjacent memory cell. The amount of programming is verified after each programming pulse and the standard verify level for the programming cell is dependent on the target state. The verify level is further offset lower dependent on the amount of perturbation from neighboring cells, determinable by their target states. The verify level is preferably virtually offset by biasing adjacent word lines instead of actually offsetting the standard verify level. For soft-programming erased cells, neighboring cells on both adjacent word lines are taken into account.

A method and system that provides for execution of a first calibration sequence, such as upon initialization of a system, to establish an operation value, which utilizes an algorithm intended to be exhaustive, and executing a second calibration sequence from time to time, to measure drift in the parameter, and to update the operation value in response to the measured drift. The second calibration sequence utilizes less resources of the communication channel than does the first calibration sequence. In one embodiment, the first calibration sequence for measurement and convergence on the operation value utilizes long calibration patterns, such as codes that are greater than 30 bytes, or pseudorandom bit sequences having lengths of 2^N−1 bits, where N is equal to or greater than 7, while the second calibration sequence utilizes short calibration patterns, such as fixed codes less than 16 bytes, and for example as short as 2 bytes long.

A system and method for graphically showing the order and timing of elements in a presentation program or other software. The sequence of events is shown in an event list, a list of events in sequence order, each event being associated with an event timeline bar and correlated with a universal timeline, in the editing window of an electronic presentation or other software that deals with the scheduling of events. In one embodiment, each item in the list represents an individual animation effect. Elements of the event list are logically related to each other and these logical relationships may be used in assisting a user to build a sequence of events (e.g., an animation sequence).

Improved sucker rod joints for down hole petroleum pumping applications are provided within the form factor of standard API sucker rods, such that existing inventory in suitable condition is fully usable in more demanding applications. The pin ends are selected or processed such as to provide preselected axial distance between a flat pin end and at least one reference surface, such as a threaded region or reference shoulder or both. The coupler is dimensioned such that the pin ends are in abutment either with each other or with opposite sides of an intervening torque washer in the central region, when the connection is made to a selected level of thread engagement. Furthermore, the engagement is such as to put the pin ends in compression and the coextensive length of coupler in tension. This increases frictional restraints and locks the elements together to resist fatigue failure upon cycling and to insure together with an anaerobic adhesive sealant, against back threading. This arrangement enables standard quality sucker rods to be employed in a configuration which is mechanically secure and highly resistant to tensile, bending and torsional forces, thus assuring a greater strength at the joint than in the rod itself, and resisting the effects of material fatigue arising from long term and stressful cycling operations.

A method is proposed for coating an optoelectronic chip-on-board module including a flat substrate populated with one or more optoelectronic components having at least one primary optical arrangement and optionally at least one secondary optical arrangement. The optoelectronic chip-on-board module is coated with a transparent, UV-resistant, and temperature-resistant coating made of silicone by the following steps: (a) casting a liquid silicone into a mold open towards the top and having outer dimensions corresponding to or exceeding outer dimensions of the substrate; (b) inserting the substrate into the mold, wherein the optoelectronic component(s) are immersed completely into the silicone and a surface of the substrate contacts the silicone completely or the substrate immerses into the silicone at least partially with full surface contact; (c) curing and cross-linking the silicone with the optoelectronic component(s) and the substrate; and (d) removing the substrate from the mold with the coating of cured silicone.

A network server 110 for managing a terminal connected to a local IP network 111 comprises: a signaling control section 109 for receiving a registration request, sent from a mobile device 120 which has just been connected to the local IP network 111, requesting registration as a terminal connected to the network; an equipment information management section 107 for obtaining, as equipment information, information about pieces of equipment 112 to 117 connected to the local IP network 111; and a signaling control section 109 for sending to the mobile device 120 a response to the registration request, the response including equipment information obtained by the equipment information management section 107. A network server capable of using equipment in a network with ease can thus be provided.

In the video signals provided by broadcasting media, advertising sections are inserted between normal programs, thus causing interruption. An end portion of the normal program will be repeated before an advertising section ends. The invention determines the continuity of two adjacent frames, to search for frame discontinuity to find out if there is a frame similar to a next given frame. If a similar frame is found to have an advertising frame, an advertisement is detected.

A rear contact heterojunction solar cell and a fabricating method. The solar cell comprises a silicon substrate having a passivating layer and an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer. At a back side of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, an emitter layer and a base layer are provided. Interposed between these emitter and base layers is a separation layer comprising an electrically insulating material. This separation layer as well as the base layer and emitter layer may be generated by vapour deposition. Due to such processing, adjacent regions of the emitter layer and the separating layer and adjacent regions of the base layer and the separating layer partially laterally overlap in overlapping areas in such a way that at least a part of the separating layer is located closer to the substrate than an overlapping portion of the respective one of the emitter layer and the base layer.

The present invention is a network layer protocol used for free-space optical transmission utilizing an LED or LD as a light source. In order to connect to a device, the network layer issues a connection request command (LAP_con_req2) to a lower layer when the network layer has received a connection request command (LM_con_req1) from an upper layer. Furthermore, when the network layer has received a connection confirmation command reception notification (LAP_con_conf1) from the lower layer, the network layer issues a connection confirmation command reception notification (LM_con_conf2) to the upper layer without issuing a data transfer request command to the lower layer. Accordingly, the invention provides a network layer protocol with which time for a connection or disconnection is reduced.
