Abstract: The present invention relates to an output driver circuit for a semiconductor memory device, in particular, a memory device using a DDR II concept or a concept similar thereto, which can reduce a variation in the slew rate of an output driver thereof between maximum and minimum values, while satisfying requirements of characteristics associated with slew rate.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, thermal deformation or bending of membranes in a transition radiation emitting structure can be reduced by providing flex regions in the membranes or the membrane support structures. In a second embodiment, deformation of membranes is compensated for by fabricating the membranes to cooperatively bend in a similar manner and direction. In a third embodiment, deformation of the membrane is reduced by fabricating the membranes with an intrinsic tensile or compressive stress.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for unlatching a VCM in a disc drive is provided in which a determination is made if the VCM is stationary. A first unlatch current pulse that has a first amplitude and first width is applied to the VCM if the VCM is found to be stationary. An incremented unlatch current pulse is then applied to the VCM if the VCM is found to be stationary after application of the first unlatch current pulse. The incremented unlatch current pulse has at least one of an amplitude and a width that is greater than at least one of the corresponding first amplitude and the first width of the first unlatch current pulse.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the production of a transgenic bovine or a transgenic bovine embryo comprising obtaining an ovum from bovine ovaries, maturing the ovum in vitro, fertilizing the mature ovum or ova in vitro to form a zygote, introducing a transgene into the zygote in vitro and maturing the zygote to a preimplantation stage embryo in vitro. To produce the transgenic bovine, the embryo is transplanted into a recipient female bovine, wherein the female bovine gestates the embryo to produce a transgenic bovine.

Abstract: A method for re-synchronizing a variable length code at a high speed by comparing an input bit string with a plurality of synchronous code patterns in a parallel manner using a parallel-processing pattern matching algorithm when a transmission error is involved in the variable length code received in a variable length decoder used in systems using digital signals requiring a fixed length code pattern, such as broad band-integrated service digital network (B-ISDN) terminal, high definition TV, digital TV, multimedia, video TAX, facsimile and etc..

Abstract: A frame phase aligner for a transfer system includes selection circuitry for selecting one of a plurality of input signal groups, which include data, a clock signal, an inverse clock signal and a frame synchronous signal, received from outside of the frame phase aligner. A selection signal generator provides the selection circuitry with a selection signal according to write data input from outside of the frame phase aligner, so that the selection circuitry selects one of the plurality of input signal groups according to the selection signal indicative of the setup environment of the transfer system.
