  • Publication number: 20080057720
    Abstract: By performing a planarization process, for instance based on a planarization layer, prior to forming a resist mask for selectively removing a portion of a stressed contact etch stop layer, the strain-inducing mechanism of a subsequently deposited further contact etch stop layer may be significantly improved.

  • Publication number: 20060095642
    Abstract: A USB (Universal Serial Bus) controller technique for implementing OTG (On-The-Go) functionality is provided. The device may have an EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant host control unit, and an OTG control unit to implement an OTG state machine partly in hardware and partly in software. The OTG control unit may have an OTG control register and an OTG status register which are accessible by software. Further, the USB controller device may have a device control unit to implement device functionality and a port multiplexer to assign a physical port to either the host or the device control unit. The OTG control unit may be comprised in the port multiplexer. Further, a software driver may read the OTG status register in response to receiving an interrupt from the USB controller device, and write to the OTG control register to force the USB controller device to change its OTG state.

  • Patent number: 6588712
    Abstract: A clamp for a cylindrical includes a base portion and a clamping portion which define together a common through opening for passage of a cylindrical element. Fasteners are provided to brace the base portion and the clamping portion to thereby hold the cylindrical element in a clamping zone. The base portion and the clamping portion are each provided with an attachment surface, wherein the attachment surface of the clamping portion includes a cutout formed with internal teeth for optional positive engagement of external circumferential teeth of a protrusion of a base portion of a further such base portion or external circumferential teeth of a protrusion of a connection piece, such that the internal and external teeth are constrained against rotation. Thus, a series of clamps can be stacked on top of one another.
