During the ALD part of the process, a layer is formed by flowing sequential and alternating pulses of mutually reactive reactants that deposit self-limitingly on a substrate. During the pulsed CVD part of the process, another layer is deposited by flowing two CVD reactants into a reaction chamber, with at least a first of the CVD reactants flowed into the reaction chamber in pulses, with those pulses overlapping at least partially with the flow of a second of the CVD reactants. The ALD and CVD parts of the process ca be used to deposit layers with different compositions, thereby forming, e.g., nanolaminate films.

20150295662 | MUTUAL INFORMATION BASED INTELLIGIBILITY ENHANCEMENT - Provided are methods and systems for improving the intelligibility of speech in a noisy environment. A communication model is developed that includes noise inherent in the message production and message interpretation processes, and considers that these noises have fixed signal-to-noise ratios. The communication model forms the basis of an algorithm designed to optimize the intelligibility of speech in a noisy environment. The intelligibility optimization algorithm only does something (e.g., manipulates the audio signal) when needed, and thus if no noise is present the algorithm does not alter or otherwise interfere with the audio signals, thereby preventing any speech distortion. The algorithm is also very fast and efficient in comparison to most existing approaches for speech intelligibility enhancement, and therefore the algorithm lends itself to easy implementation in an appropriate device (e.g., cellular phone or smartphone). | 10-15-2015 |

The encoder measurement system is adapted to measure a position of a substrate table of a lithographic apparatus and further comprises a sensor mounted to the substrate table. The method comprises exciting the grating to make a movement in at least one measurement direction of the auxiliary sensor system, obtaining an auxiliary sensor system output signal from the sensor system during the movement, and adjusting a parameter of the auxiliary sensor system based on the output signal obtained during the movement to thereby calibrate the auxiliary sensor system. | 11-13-2008 |
