An improved E-field generator including a slow-wave transmission line structure is provided herein. In some cases, the improved E-field generator may include an inductively-loaded slow-wave transmission line structure driven by a power source at one end of the structure and terminated by a load at the other end of the structure. In other cases, the improved E-field generator may include a capacitively-loaded slow-wave transmission line structure. In either case, the improved E-field generator provides a frequency-independent, significantly increased electric field at a distance spaced from the generator without altering the dimensions of the generator and/or the input power supplied to the generator. The increase in generated field intensity is achieved by decreasing the phase velocity of the electromagnetic wave propagating along the parallel elements of the generator.

Non-volatile memory devices and methods of operating the same are disclosed. A non-volatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate. A tunnel insulating layer and a gate electrode are on the semiconductor substrate. A multiple tunnel insulation layer with a plurality of layers, a charge storage insulation layer, and a multiple blocking insulation layer with a plurality of layers are sequentially stacked between the gate electrode and the tunnel insulating layer. A first diffusion region and a second diffusion region in the semiconductor substrate are adjacent to opposite respective sides of the gate electrode. When a voltage is applied to the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate to form a voltage level difference therebetween, a minimum field in the tunnel insulation layer is stronger than a minimum field in the blocking insulation layer. A minimum field established at a blocking insulation layer can be stronger than a minimum field established at a tunnel insulation layer, and the migration probability of charges through the tunnel insulation layer can be higher than that of charges through the blocking insulation layer. Therefore, it may be possible to use lower operation voltages, obtain higher program and erase speeds, and/or obtain a greater difference between threshold values of a program threshold voltage and an erase threshold voltage. As a result, a multi-valued non-volatile memory device may be formed therefrom.

A radio base station broadcasts system information through a control channel. Each mobile station receives system information (at step S21) and determines the moving speed thereof (at step S22). When the mobile station is moving at high speed, the mobile station measures the field intensities of available channels on which the mobile station can communicate with a macro cell radio base station (at step S23 or S27). When the mobile station is moving at low speed, the mobile station measures the field intensities of available channels on which the mobile station can communicate with a micro cell radio base station (at step S27 or S23). However, when the radio base station to which the mobile station is moving is different from the radio base station from which the mobile station has received the control channel at first, the mobile station receives new system information from the relevant base station at step S26. The mobile station selects a channel corresponding to the measured result and starts communicating with the new radio base station (at steps S24 and S25).

A method to determine the alignment of the transmitter and receiver fields of view of a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system. This method can be employed to determine the far-field intensity distribution of the transmitter beam, as well as the variations in transmitted laser beam pointing as a function of time, temperature, or other environmental variables that may affect the co-alignment of the LIDAR system components. In order to achieve proper alignment of the transmitter and receiver optical systems when a LIDAR system is being used in the field, this method employs a laser-beam-position-sensing detector as an integral part of the receiver optics of the LIDAR system.

The invention relates to a high voltage resistant edge structure in the edge region of a semiconductor component which has floating guard rings of the first conductivity type and inter-ring zones of the second conductivity type which are arranged between the floating guard rings, wherein the conductivities and/or the inter-ring zones are set such that their charge carriers are totally depleted when blocking voltage is applied.

The laminated composite material is expected for being applied in an embedded capacitor, a static accumulator, a large-power capacitor and the like.

Decrease in optical near-field intensity is prevented when an light propagating medium made of a high refractive index material, such as a waveguide or a lens, is combined with a scatterer for producing optical near-field. Near the optical near-field generating element, a second light propagating medium is disposed in contact with a first light propagating medium of a high refractive index material, such as a waveguide or a lens. The refractive index of the second light propagating medium is made smaller than the refractive index of the first light propagating medium.

A system and method for preserving temporal and spatial resolution in complex sounds for poor performing patients having high stimulation thresholds is described. The system and method employs two or more adjacent electrode contacts to deliver concurrent stimulation. This concurrent delivery of stimuli creates a high current field intensity that overlaps between individual current fields generated by the two or more adjacent electrodes and which individual fields are summed to create an overlapping field that has a higher current field intensity than a single current emanating from an individual electrode. The use of this method reduces or eliminates the need to increase either the stimulus current amplitude or to increase the pulse width, both of which may cause loss of system resolution, i.e., loss of fine structure information that is used to resolve complex sounds such as music.

A new type of magnetoelastic device for sensing force is described. It comprises of two elements: a circumferentially magnetized member comprised of magnetoelastically active material mounted as a beam and loaded by the force to be sensed, and a magnetic field sensor mounted at or near the member's surface, preferentially at or near a longitudinal location where the bending moment is maximum and at a circumferential location where the bending stress is zero. Flexural loading causes a variation of the circumferential magnetization with angular position. This variation is the source of free poles, the field from which is a measure of the applied force. Testing demonstrates that the field intensity is a linear analog of the experienced bending stress over a significant range of applied push and pull forces.
