| 20110163383 | BULK SUBSTRATE FET INTEGRATED ON CMOS SOI - An integrated circuit is provided that integrates an bulk FET and an SOI FET on the same chip, where the bulk FET includes a gate conductor over a gate oxide formed over a bulk substrate, where the gate dielectric of the bulk FET has the same thickness and is substantially coplanar with the buried insulating layer of the SOI FET. In a preferred embodiment, the bulk FET is formed from an SOI wafer by forming bulk contact trenches through the SOI layer and the buried insulating layer of the SOI wafer adjacent an active region of the SOI layer in a designated bulk device region. The active region of the SOI layer adjacent the bulk contact trenches forms the gate conductor of the bulk FET which overlies a portion of the underlying buried insulating layer, which forms the gate dielectric of the bulk FET. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100237421 | Gated Diode Structure and Method Including Relaxed Liner - A gated diode structure and a method for fabricating the gated diode structure use a relaxed liner that is derived from a stressed liner that is typically used within the context of a field effect transistor formed simultaneously with the gated diode structure. The relaxed liner is formed incident to treatment, such as ion implantation treatment, of the stressed liner. The relaxed liner provides improved gated diode ideality in comparison with the stressed liner, absent any gated diode damage that may occur incident to stripping the stressed liner from the gated diode structure while using a reactive ion etch method. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20100290387 | AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION OF BP MERGER IN MULTI-BAND OFDM ALLIANCE (MBOA) ULTRA WIDE BAND (UWB) SYSTEMS - The current MBOA UWB MAC protocol requires a device that detects alien devices to include a BP Switch IE in its beacon so that its neighbors may learn the presence of the alien devices and follow that device to relocate their beacons in a coordinated fashion. However, during the transition period of beacon relocation, that device may decide to halt the relocation process as required by the standard and such decisions also have to be received by its neighbors. In such a case, a BP switch IE will be generated by that device which includes a BPST offset equal to a length of a superframe. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080259847 | Coordinated Beacon Period (Bp) Mergins for Distributed Wireless Networks - The application describes a method to merge two wireless networks in which each terminal gets a beacon slot within the beacon period. In order to merge two networks, the beacon slots have to be time-coordinated such that the beacon slots of the first network are completed before the beacon slots of the second network begin. The method includes transmitting a beacon frame having a beacon period switch information element which instructs the neighboring terminals in the first network of the need to merge, provides clock synchronization information; provides the time of the merge; and informs the neighboring terminals which beacon slot to occupy in the beacon period of the merged network. In order to deal with hidden terminals, the information needs to be forwarded terminal-to-terminal within each network. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100287517 | Statistical Static Timing Analysis in Non-Linear Regions - A method is described for simulating the f-sigma timing path delay of an integrated circuit design when local transistor variations determine the stochastic delay. This is achieved by determining an estimated delay time for a first timing path using non-linear operating point analysis of local variations (NLOPALV). An operating point is calculated for each cell that is included in a timing path in the integrated circuit design. The f-sigma operating point of a cell-arc is a point on the cell-arc delay function (CADF). An f-sigma delay value is determined for each cell using the selected operating point on the CADF of the cell. The determined delay values of the plurality of cells in the timing path may then be combined to predict the estimated delay for the entire timing path. The method may be extended to deal with slew rate, predict hold time statistics, prune paths, and deal with convergent paths. | 11-11-2010 |
