Antimony tilt implantation has been utilized for source and drain extension formation of n-MOSFETs. The tilt implantation is a very convenient method to provide adequate overlap between the extensions and a gate electrode. MOSFET drive current was effectively improved by the tilt implantation without degrading short channel effects. key words: MOSFET, extension, gate, overlap, tilt implantation...

BACKGROUND Radiographic diagnosis and followup studies of developmental dysplasia of the hip are commonly performed by measuring the acetabular index on radiographs using Hilgenreiner's method. The outcome of the measurement, however, depends on the orientation of the subject's pelvis relative to the xray source. The influence of pelvic rotation and tilt on the measurement error has been evalua...

An optical tilt sensor was developed and its performance was investigated. The tilt sensor set-up consisted of a laser light source, lenses and an image sensor. A precision reference tilt sensor was also installed on the same stage, and the measurement results of tilt angles using the optical and reference tilt sensors were correlated. The correlation coefficient (R-value) obtained under ideal ...

The authors propose an attention control method for an omnidirectional vision by an active zoom mechanism. It is implemented by controlling focal length of the camera without pan or tilt mechanism. We install an omnidirectional vision with a hyperbolic mirror to a mobile robot and apply Q-learning for its behavior acquisition. In a goal defending behavior of a soccer game, the robot can learnin...

Tilt-horizontal coupling in inertial sensors limits the performance of active isolation systems such as those used in gravitational wave detectors. Inertial rotation sensors can be used to subtract the tilt component from the signal produced by horizontal inertial sensors, but such techniques are often limited by the sensor noise of the tilt measurement. A different approach is to mechanically ...

Controllable parafoil and payload aircraft are controlled with downward deflection of left and right parafoil brakes. Lateral control is obtained by differential deflection while longitudinal control is created by collective deflection of the left and right side parafoil brakes. The work reported considers an alternative method to control parafoil and payload air vehicles by tilting the parafoi...

This paper continues the discussion of the detailed experimental study conducted on adaptive optical control methodologies inside a laser resonator.(1) In this paper we discuss the experimental results for the correction of tilt within a laser resonator utilizing a multidither zonal COAT system. The tilt aberration was introduced in three different ways: (1) static tilt was introduced while the...

Synchrotron diffuse x-ray scattering data reveal a dramatic softening of the molecular tilt modulus K_{θ} of the model biomembrane composed of DMPC lipids as the temperature is lowered towards the main phase transition temperature at T_{M}=24^{∘}C. Spontaneous tilt occurs below T_{M}, suggesting that tilt is a symmetry breaking order parameter. Consistent with this hypothesis, it is also found ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is an ion-driven rotary machine in the cell envelope of bacteria. Using a gold nanoparticle as a probe, we observed the precession of flagella during rotation. Since the mechanism of flagella precession was unknown, we investigated it using a combination of full simulations, theory, and experiments. The results show that the mechanism can be well explained by fluid...
