Patent number: 6542465Abstract: A method for flow control in asymmetric digital subscriber line (“ADSL”) devices. The method includes flow control that adapts to changes in line conditions such as noise signals, onhook/offhook signals, etc. that may result in degradations in the quality-of-service in an ADSL system. The flow control includes buffering outbound data and ceasing transmission of data at an original transmission rate on an ADSL device that is used on a customer site. An original data transmission rate is adjusted based on changes in line conditions. One more or data transmission characteristics may be adjusted before sending any data at a new data transmission rate. For example, Asynchronous Transport Mode (“ATM”) often uses ADSL devices as a physical layer to transmit data. ATM available bit-rate, constant bit-rate, variable bit-rate or unspecified bit-rate transmission characteristics or ATM quality-of -service characteristics may be adjusted before sending any data at a new data transmission rate.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1999Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventor: Ray Wang

Publication number: 20020138239Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calculating electromagnetic radiation emitted by a computer system. The method models the characteristic radiation from a central processing unit as a modulated Gaussian pulse. The method solves Maxwell's equation using finite differences in the time domain. After solving Maxwell's equation the method determines if the radiation emitted by the heat sink is capacitively coupled to the radiation emitted by the remaining components of the computer system. The method also determines whether radiation emitted by the heat sink is inductively coupled to the radiation emitted by the remaining components of the computer system. Finally, the method uses a fast Fourier transform to translate time domain data to the frequency domain. The method also teaches using a computer system, with instructions coded on a computer readable medium to make the calculations described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2001Publication date: September 26, 2002Inventors: Lan Zhang, Ray Wang

Patent number: 6426285Abstract: A process for forming a composite intermetal dielectric, (IMD), layer, with reduced tensile stress, eliminating defects that can be induced by highly stressed, IMD layers, to underlying dielectric layers, and metal interconnect structures, has been developed. The process features the use of a capping, or overlying, silicon oxide component, obtained via PECVD procedures, using TEOS as a source, and using a set of power, and frequency conditions, resulting in a high compressive stress for the capping silicon oxide layer. The high compressive stress of the capping silicon oxide layer, balances the high tensile stress, inherent in an underlying silicon oxide component, of the composite IMD layer, eliminating stress related defects to underlying dielectric layers, and to underlying metal interconnect structures.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1999Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Chin-Tsai Chen, Chao-Ray Wang

Patent number: 6396837Abstract: A method and system for mapping virtual connections to asymmetric digital subscriber line (“ADSL”) latency paths. A request for virtual connection from a transport network (e.g., Asynchronous Transport Mode, Frame Relay, etc.) with a desired service category (e.g., quality-of-service) and a desired latency is mapped to an ADSL device latency interface by checking a latency mapping policy. This mapping provides a virtual connection with a desired service category and a desired latency over ADSL links. The latency mapping includes an embedded service category mapping from a transport network to latency paths at an ADSL transmission convergence sub-layer allowing differential services to be provided for user data based on a desired service category. The latency mapping mechanism may help provide use of end-to-end service categories such as quality-of-service categories, over real-time ADSL links.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Ray Wang, Paul Y.

Patent number: 6242312Abstract: A process for forming a low resistance, titanium silicide layer, for use as a component of a narrow width, polycide gate structure, has been developed. The process features a combination of ion implantation procedures, performed prior to, and after, titanium deposition. The combination of ion implantation procedures restricts excessive movement of silicon, from a polysilicon gate structure, as well as from a source/drain region, into the forming titanium silicide layer, during subsequent anneal cycles used to form the titanium silicide layer. The ability to limit the amount of silicon, in the titanium silicide layer, allows a low resistance, titanium silicide layer to be used for polycide gate structures, with a width narrower than 0.20 micrometers.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Yuan-Chang Huang, Ding-Dar Hu, Hong-Che Hsiue, Chao-Ray Wang
