  • Patent number: 7214911
    Abstract: A car defogging system reduces energy required to defog a windshield glass of the car. A temperature sensor mounted at the windshield glass detects the glass surface temperature, Ts. A humidity sensor spaced from the windshield glass by a predetermined distance detects the humidity, H, around the windshield glass. A temperature sensor mounted inside the windshield glass detects peripheral temperature Te around the glass. A system controller determines if fog is or is not present by comparing the dew point temperature Td with the surface temperature Ts. Dew point temperature Td is derived by the combining values of H and a temperature Tc based on a combination of Ts and Te.

  • Patent number: 7211488
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming an interlayer dielectric film in a semiconductor device. More particularly, the present invention selectively forms an insulating film spacer only at a region where a plug is formed between metal lines and removes the insulating film spacer at a region where the plug is not formed to lower the aspect ratio between the metal lines, in a process of burying an insulating material between the metal lines to electrically insulate them. Therefore, the present invention can easily bury the insulating material even between the metal lines having a narrow gap without voids.

  • Patent number: 7210347
    Abstract: The invention relates to gyroscopes having a vibrating structure that is micromachined in a silicon substrate. A novel vibrating structure is described, which has two moving masses 14 and 14?, connected by a vibration energy coupling structure (transverse arms 26, 26?, longitudinal arms 22, 22?, and a short transverse link 24 between the longitudinal links 22, 22?). The moving masses are also suspended from U-shaped flexure arms (13), having one branch end connected to the mass and another end connected to a fixed anchoring point 18. The flexure arms are not inserted between the coupling structure and the mass, but are independent of the coupling structure. The masses are excited so as to vibrate in their plane by electrostatic forces applied by interdigitated combs 11. The Coriolis forces make them vibrate perpendicular to the plane, and this vibration is detected by electrodes forming part of the moving masses.

  • Patent number: 7209372
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a flyback converter with a synchronous rectifier which is applied to a power supply of a portable computer such as a notebook PC. The flyback converter is operated in a critical conduction mode to turn on/off a main switch at a zero crossing point of an output voltage. The flyback converter is also adapted to supply a driving voltage to a synchronous switch using the output voltage. Therefore, there is no need for a secondary auxiliary coil of a transformer and for a Schottky diode to be connected in parallel with the synchronous switch, resulting in simplification in circuit design.
