20100001903CALCULATION METHOD FOR NETWORK-SPECIFIC FACTORS IN A NETWORK OF REFERENCE STATIONS FOR A SATELLITE-BASED POSITIONING SYSTEM - A correction calculation method for a satellite based positioning system with a network of receiving units as reference stations comprises a partitioning of the network into groups of reference stations, calculation of group-specific correction factors, amalgamation of the group-specific correction factors and subsequently, derivation of network-specific correction parameters. In this partitioning, the reference stations are represented by nodes in a connected, edge-weighted graph, in the generation of which an edge respectively connecting two nodes is only generated if it satisfies a distance-dependent connectivity condition, whereby the distance between the nodes connected by this edge is input into the weighting function of this edge. From the graph a minimum spanning tree is derived and subsequently partitioned for establishing the groups, by eliminating the edge with the highest weight for each tree, the elimination of which leads to partial trees which in each case either satisfy a cardinality condition for the number of the nodes in the two resulting partial trees, or consist of a number of nodes greater than the cardinality condition.01-07-2010

Floating voltage regions of opposite conductivity type to the drain region are buried in the substrate beneath the merged base region and present features corresponding to and juxtaposed with features of the merged base region in each cell so that the voltage of the floating voltage regions tends to the voltage of the source regions when depletion layers blocking the current conduction paths reach the floating voltage regions, whereby to enhance the development of the depletion layers. The features of the floating voltage regions define rings of the opposite conductivity type to the drain region that surround the current conduction paths of respective cells. The floating voltage regions include respective islands situated within the current conduction paths.01-15-2009
