  • Publication number: 20120195256
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for obtaining downlink or uplink signal characteristics of at least one access point in a network. The signal characteristics may be obtained through user equipment receiving the signal characteristics, through the at least one access point, or through another access point. Frequency or timing offset between two or more access points may be determined based on the obtained signal characteristics, where the frequency or timing offset may be handled through post processing. For example, a clock servo may be controlled or adjusted in response to the determined offset, the absolute frequency of a master network oscillator may be calibrated, traffic anomalies within the network may be detected and corrected, and/or respective clocks of the two or more access points may be synchronized.

  • Patent number: 8208285
    Abstract: A semiconductor device for accessing non-volatile memory cell is provided. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device has a vertical stack of semiconductor layers including a source, a drain, and a well. An application of a drain-source bias voltage to the semiconductor device generates a punchthrough mechanism across the well to initiate a flow of current between the source and the drain.

  • Publication number: 20120074488
    Abstract: A method includes providing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of pillar structures extending orthogonally from the semiconductor wafer. Each pillar structure forms a vertical pillar transistor having a top surface and a side surface orthogonal to the top surface. Then a hardening species is implanted into the vertical pillar transistor top surface. Then the vertical pillar transistor side surface is oxidized to form a side surface oxide layer. The side surface oxide layer is removed to form vertical pillar transistor having rounded side surfaces.
