Abstract: A hand-held device having a display and a browser application which supports functionality particularly suited for the hand-held device. For example, the browser application supports a full screen tag which allows information to be displayed as a full screen within the display. The browser application may also support a tag for use in displaying a link the activation of which will cause the hand-held device to transmit command codes to a consumer appliance. Still further, the browser application can support a tag which the hand-held device can use to issue reminders.

Abstract: A frame shuttered CMOS image sensor with simultaneous array readout. An array of CMOS pixels are printed on a silicon substrate. Within each pixel is a light sensitive region comprising a photo sensitive diode for converting photons into electrical charge and at least three transistors to permit reading of reset electrical charges and collected electrical charges and for re-setting the photosensitive diode. The sensor includes an array of signal and re-set readout capacitors located on the substrate but outside of the pixel array. Metal conductors printed in said substrate connect each pixel in said pixel array with a signal capacitor and a re-set capacitor in array of signal and re-set readout capacitors. Transistor switches printed in said substrate but outside of said pixel array are used to isolate the signal and re-set capacitors from each other and from the pixels.

Abstract: A method for reducing a gate length bias is disclosed. The method utilizes an additional blanket ion implantation process to adjust the etching property of the undoped conductive layer. According to the present invention, a polysilicon layer is used to form NMOS and PMOS gate electrodes so that the gate length bias between the NMOS gate electrodes and the PMOS gate electrodes can be effectively reduced.

Abstract: A system that integrates the function of a computer input/output integrated circuit (IC) and a smart card reader. The integrated system includes a computer input/output IC and a reading device. The system is capable of eliminating interface problems resulting from non-standardized hardware in addition to a reduction in production cost and an improvement in working stability.
