| 20100014496 | NODE PLACEMENT METHOD WITHIN A WIRELESS NETWORK, SUCH AS A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK - The disclosure includes a method of and associated system for placing nodes in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The method includes receiving user-specified parameters regarding the network. The parameters can include a layout of a building or other space, and requirements for the WLAN. An algorithm then employs these parameters to automatically create and optimized layout of multiple wireless access points for the WLAN. The method can display the layout and provide various types of information to the user. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100220630 | SELF-CONFIGURING, SELF-OPTIMIZING WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK SYSTEM - A system and associated method provides for a wireless local area network (WLAN) that permits mobile units to communicate with an external, wired network. Nodes in the WLAN include multiple components, such as a base module, antenna module, and one or more wireless modules. Indeed, this system can employ two or more wireless modules that employ different short-range wireless protocols, such as IEEE 802.11-type and Bluetooth protocols. The nodes may perform self-discovery to determine modules within the node and associated functionality, as well as identify neighboring nodes to thereby establish a mesh-type network. Nodes can be configured to provide connectivity to the wired network, while others (access points) communicate wirelessly with mobile devices. The nodes may then be interconnected wirelessly, or via wires. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110007725 | Network Access Points Using Multiple Devices - A system and method for providing access to a communication network includes providing a radio node comprising a first set of access point components including a radio component, and providing a physically separated controller node in communication with the radio node. The access point controller comprises a second set of access point components distinct from the first set of access point components, creating a distributed access point. A system controller may also be used to control at least one of the radio node and the controller node. The radio node, the controller node, and the system controller communicate over a communication link, such as a wireless or wired link. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20080239807 | Transition areas for dense memory arrays - A non-volatile memory chip has word lines spaced a sub-F (sub-minimum feature size F) width apart with extensions of the word lines in at least two transition areas. Neighboring extensions are spaced at least F apart. The present invention also includes a method for word-line patterning of a non-volatile memory chip which includes generating sub-F word lines with extensions in transition areas for connecting to peripheral transistors from mask generated elements with widths of at least F. | 10-02-2008 |

Neighboring extensions are spaced at least F apart. The present invention also includes a method for word-line patterning of a non-volatile memory chip which includes generating sub-F word lines with extensions in transition areas for connecting to peripheral transistors from mask generated elements with widths of at least F. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100173464 | Non-volatile memory structure and method of fabrication - A method for creating a non-volatile memory array includes implanting pocket implants in a substrate at least between mask columns of a given width and at least through an ONO layer covering the substrate, generating increased-width polysilicon columns from the mask columns, generating bit lines in the substrate at least between the increased-width polysilicon columns and depositing oxide at least between the polysilicon columns. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110057241 | FORMING SILICON TRENCH ISOLATION (STI) IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SELF-ALIGNED TO DIFFUSION - Silicon trench isolation (STI) is formed between adjacent diffusions in a semiconductor device, such as between bitlines in a memory array. The STI may be self-aligned to the diffusions, and may prevent misaligned bitline (BL) contacts from contacting silicon outside of the corresponding bitlines. The bitline contacts may have sufficient overlap of the bitlines to ensure full coverage by the bitlines. Bitline oxides formed over buried bitlines may be used to self-align trenches of the STI to the bitlines. The STI trenches may be lined with a CMOS spacer, salicide blocking layer and/or a contact etch stop layer. STI may be formed after Poly-2 etch or after word line salicidation. The memory cells may be NVM devices such as NROM, SONOS, SANOS, MANOS, TANOS or Floating Gate (FG) devices. | 03-10-2011 |
