  • Radio frequency fingerprinting to detect fraudulent radio frequency identification tags
    Publication number: 20060181394
    Abstract: A method of authenticating the identity of an RFID device having a tag identifier stored therein. The tag identifier for the RFID device is recorded along with an RF fingerprint for the RFID device. When the RFID device is interrogated a response is received from the interrogated RFID device. An RF fingerprint is determined form the response and the received response including the RF fingerprint associated with the response is compared to an expected RF fingerprint previously known to be associated with the RFID device being interrogated.

  • Method of forming air gaps in a dielectric material using a sacrificial film and resulting structures
    Publication number: 20060138663
    Abstract: A method of forming air gaps surrounding conductors in a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer comprising, for example, part of the interconnect structure of an integrated circuit device. The air gaps are formed, in part, by depositing a sacrificial material within a trench and/or via that have been formed in a dielectric layer, and the sacrificial material is ultimately removed after metal deposition to create the air gaps. A porous dielectric cap may be deposited over the dielectric layer, and the sacrificial material may be removed through this porous dielectric layer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Wafer inspection with a customized reflective optical channel component
    Publication number: 20060119841
    Abstract: A method is described that adjusts the position of a item and sets a tilt angle for each of a plurality of micro-mirrors of a digital micro-mirror device. The setting of the tilt angles is to establish a filter within the optical channel of an inspection tool that inspects the item. The filter is to reduce noise received at an optical detection device. The tilt angle settings are a function of the position. The method also includes comparing information from the optical detection device that describes an inspected region of the item's surface against an expected version of the information.

  • Basic supercritical solutions for quenching and developing photoresists
    Publication number: 20060003271
    Abstract: A basic supercritical solution formulated to include at least one supercritical fluid and a base may be used to quench a photo-generated acid within a photoresist as well as develop the photoresist. The base may be the supercritical fluid in the basic supercritical solution. A super critical fluid is a state of matter above the critical temperature and pressure (Tc and Pc). A basic supercritical solution formulated to include at least one supercritical fluid has a low viscosity and surface tension and is capable of penetrating narrow features having high aspect ratios and the photoresist material due to the gas-like nature of the supercritical fluid.

  • Self-piercing rivet
    Publication number: 20030175095
    Abstract: A self-piercing rivet has a hollow deformable shank (10) with a piercing edge (11) for insertion into sheet material (14,A,B). A piercing end of the shank is covered by a cap (12, 30, 40, 50, 60 71) of material. The cap deforms around the shank and its piercing end as the rivet is inserted into the sheet material, and acts as a top layer of sheet material. This ensures that the piercing edge does not perforate the sheet material, enabling use of the rivet to join very thin sheets of material, or in tile case of a rivet stud, enabling its insertion into a single sheet of material.

  • Network-based billing method and system
    Publication number: 20030074313
    Abstract: A gateway routes signals between a WAP mobile phone and an application on a Web server. The application generates a message for each of a number of events recognized according to the service being provided. These messages are transmitted to the gateway. A billing manager in the gateway directs the messages in real time to a real time mediation device if they relate to a pre-pay service, or alternatively to a billing log for off-line processing. The network operator operating the gateway can thus charge in a manner relating to services provided instead of simply call duration.
