| 20090294969 | SEMICONDUCTOR CONTACT FORMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present invention is a semiconductor contact formation system and method. Contact insulation regions are formed with multiple etch stop sublayers that facilitate formation of contacts. This contact formation process provides relatively small substrate connections while addressing critical lithographic printing limitation concerns in forming contact holes with small dimensions. In one embodiment, a multiple etch stop insulation layer comprising multiple etch stop layers is deposited. A contact region is formed in the multiple etch stop insulation layer by selectively removing (e.g., etching) some of the multiple etch stop insulation layer. In one embodiment, a larger portion of the multiple etch stop insulation layer is removed close to the metal layer and a smaller portion is removed closer to the substrate. The different contact region widths are achieved by performing multiple etching processes controlled by the multiple etch stop layers in the multiple etch stop insulation layer and spacer formation to shrink contact size at a bottom portion. Electrical conducting material (e.g., tungsten) is deposited in the contact region. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090043217 | HEART RATE MONITOR WITH CROSS TALK REDUCTION - A heart rate monitor determines a heart rate for a primary subject by reducing noise and cross-talk from unwanted signal transmission sources.

| 20110280287 | EXPLOITING CHANNEL TIME CORRELATION TO REDUCE CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FEEDBACK BITRATE - The required bitrate for reporting channel state information from a network transceiver to the network is dramatically reduced, while maintaining fidelity of channel estimates, by exploiting prior channel estimates and the time correlation of channel response. For a selected set of sub-carriers, the transceiver estimates channel frequency response from pilot signals. The transceiver also predicts the frequency response for each selected sub-carrier, by multiplying a state vector comprising prior frequency response estimate and a coefficient vector comprising linear predictive coefficients. The predicted frequency response is subtracted from the estimated frequency response, and the prediction error is quantized and transmitted to the network. The network maintains a corresponding state vector and predictive coefficient vector, and also predicts a frequency response for each selected sub-carrier. The received prediction error is inverse quantized and subtracted from the predicted frequency response to yield a frequency response corresponding to that estimated at the transceiver. | 11-17-2011 |
