Publication number: 20020196882Abstract: The present invention provides a transmission method capable of synchronously transferring information in many ways to simultaneously transfer data to plural receivers. In the transmission method of the present invention, a control menu and data to be transferred are first provided, and predetermined receivers are then selected. Next, an image capturing device is used to scan the control menu and the data to be transferred and convert them into an electric signal, which is then transferred to a computer server. The computer server discriminates the electric signal and converts it into an image signal. If the result of discrimination is successful, the image signal is transferred to an FTP server or a client computer so that the receivers can receive the image signal in predetermined ways of reception. The present invention has the characteristics of synchronous and manifold transmission, fast transmission, and convenient use.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2001Publication date: December 26, 2002Inventors: Douglas W.

Publication number: 20020110285Abstract: A method and system for managing a digital image using online driving from a network are disclosed. A digital image is formed by a capturing device and then is stored in a first memory of the capturing device. Afterwards, a program media automatically diagnoses the capturing device and then installs a driver corresponding to the capturing device for online driving of the capturing device. The digital image in the first memory is uploaded to a second memory of the image server, and therefore the capacity of the first memory is completely released. Thereafter, the digital image is properly edited and is stored in the second memory to manage and distribute with respect to the digital image.

Patent number: 6271079Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming trench capacitor with a sacrificial silicon nitride. A deep trench structure is formed in a substrate. A TEOS oxide layer is formed on the substrate and filled in said trench region, etched to a first level subsequently, wherein a portion of the TEOS oxide layer is remained in the trench region and a portion of the substrate exposed to form a trench sidewall. A thermally oxidation process is performed to form a collar oxide on the exposed substrate. A silicon nitride sidewall is formed on the collar oxide, then removing the residual TEOS oxide layer by wet etching. The trench region is then etched using the silicon nitride sidewall as a barrier to form a bottle shape trench region for increasing the surface of the trench region. A bottom cell plate is formed in the fresh trench region. The silicon nitride sidewall is removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1999Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Mosel Vitelic Inc.Inventors: Houng-Chi Wei, Wei-Shang King

Patent number: 6255188Abstract: A method of removing a polysilicon buffer in a method of forming a field oxide and an active area is disclosed herein that comprises the step of applying an etching selectivity solution to the polysilicon buffer to substantially remove the polysilicon buffer without substantially affecting the field oxide, a pad oxide, and the substrate. An etching selectivity solution is defined herein is a solution that has an etching rate for one material that is higher than for another material. In this case, the etching selectivity solution has an etching rate for polysilicon material that is higher than its etching rate for field oxide material. Accordingly, when the etching selectivity solution is applied to the polysilicon buffer, it will substantially etch off the polysilicon buffer without substantially affecting the field oxide. In the preferred embodiment, the etching selectivity solution comprises a mixture of HF and HNO3, or HF, HNO3 and CH3COOH.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: Mosel Vitelic, Inc.Inventors: Chien-Hung Chen, Leon Chang, Wei-Shang King
