REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV
The REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector features high performance WXGA+ (1440 x 900) resolution, an output of 4500 lumens, 2000:1 contrast ratio and advanced AISYS technology. The projector's DICOM Simulation Mode allows for the viewing of monochrome digital X-Rays, CAT Scans and MRI's with accurate grayscale rendition and precise detail, simulating the results of devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standard. The color temperature can be changed between 5 presets, 3 user defined color temperatures, clear base, and blue base- making the projector ideal for those in the medical education and training fields.
Featuring a throw ratio of 1:0.571, the WX450ST D can project a 7 foot wide screen from just under 4 feet away. Other outstanding features of this widescreen projector include 4 Point Keystone Correction and USB based playback of JPEG image files directly from a thumb drive without a PC connected. A built in edge blend processor allows for the display of multi-projector seamless large images. The "Picture by Picture" feature allows for the simultaneous use of high quality digital video inputs (HDMI and DVI) in split screen mode.
The WX450ST D projector offers installation flexibility, exceptional optics and wide range of features that will deliver brilliantly in some of the most challenging environments.
The REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector brings together in one unit the ability to fill a big screen with brilliant quality images while simultaneously offering flexible installation options.
Throw Ratio
From large conference rooms and auditoriums to houses of worship and museums, users of the WX450ST D can appreciate its short throw of 0.57:1 that is capable of filling up a large 7 foot screen from as close as only 4 feet away. And this capability comes along with beautifully rendered images and video, without sacrificing clarity, brightness or color reproduction.
Mechanical Lens Shift
The WX450ST D is an extremely flexible projector that works well under a diverse range of installation scenarios to meet your organization's specific requirements. Its built-in, mechanical lens shift is capable of a wide range. Vertically, the projector's shift range can be set from 0 to 75%. Horizontally, it can be adjusted from between +/- 10%.
Fixed Top Zoom Function
In the past, it has sometimes been difficult to fully utilize the zoom feature in an installation projector, as you would have to tilt the projector. Doing so could result in a distorted, trapezoidal picture or video that would then require keystone correction - sometimes at the cost of image quality.
The WX450ST D helps make this challenge a thing of the past! With its fixed top zoom function, users can easily zoom in or out while maintaining the height of the projection position. Lowering the position of the projected image or video can be as simple as adjusting the unit's mechanical lens shift function.
The REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector allows your audiences to view presentations and videos as you intended - with striking clarity and brightness, and stunningly beautiful crisp colors across the spectrum in striking high-definition.
Native WXGA+ Resolution (1440 x 900)
Let your presentations, video demonstrations and pictures come alive with the WX450ST D. Its native WXGA+ widescreen high resolution (1440 x 900) in the 16:10 aspect ratio delivers incredibly clear imagery that your audiences can appreciate as they become engaged in your message and enjoy their viewing experience.
4500 Lumens
The WX450ST D produces a bright 4500 lumens and boasts a 2000:1 contrast ratio that allows you to project life-like, beautiful and virtually distortion-free images, presentations and video to your audience. Despite its high lumen count, presenters will not need to be concerned about glare, as the projector's light does not enter the field of vision, allowing the user to focus on the presentation - not on glare.
Canon's proprietary AISYS 5.0 optical engine, in combination with the WX450ST D's 4500 lumens, enhances contrast and brightness through improved light management compared to our previous AISYS optical engine, and is capable of projecting onto screens of up to 110" without sacrificing the high image and HD video quality that your audience deserves. Additional value can be found with its wide range lens shift (Vertical: 0% to 75%; Horizontal: +/- 10%) and its image reformation projective optical system. Canon's optical technology helps minimize the ghosting and chromatic irregularities.
Genuine Canon Lens
The same optical technology developed for our acclaimed EOS series of SLR cameras is reflected in the development of our projection lenses. The 1.35x Electronic Zoom Lens fitted to the WX450ST D, in combination with its superb image processing, helps this projector to deliver image quality to your screen that is truly remarkable.
Image Processing
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, it's smart to make each one vibrant and memorable! The WX450ST D can make this challenge simple. In order to check for proper installation alignment and aspect ratio setting, the unit includes built-in test patterns that enable PC-less calibration without a test pattern generator.
When two projectors are necessary in order to effectively communicate your entire presentation, the WX450ST D's built-in edge blending processor seamlessly combines the two projected images. The unit is capable of overlapping 0-960 horizontal pixels and 0-600 vertical pixels. Canon's easy to use, built-in processor corrects for over brightness within the intersected areas for seamless projection. Its low TV distortion (0.1%) supplies crisp, beautiful and uniform horizontal and vertical blending.
Finally, high image quality is achieved through the use of LCOS technology, to help ensure the most advanced grayscale capable of producing extremely sharp, distinct and smooth highlights and shadows.
The DICOM Simulation Mode of the WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector is included specifically for scientific organizations, medical schools and lecture demonstrations of medical materials. When the projector is placed in this mode, it is capable of non-diagnostic, large screen projection of X-ray and CT images onto large screens, while being in compliance with the DICOM grayscale standard display function. Presenters have the ability to alter the color temperature between 5 presets (3 user defined color temperatures, a clear base and a blue base).
The REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector is the smallest projector in its class. It measures 13.3" x 4.6" x 16.4" (WxHxD) and weighs a mere 13.4 lbs., contributing to its remarkable flexibility in installation. The unit can also be installed vertically, in order to provide even greater installation flexibility in the tightest of spaces - allowing you to maximize your installation options without compromising image quality.
The WX450ST D can be a replacement solution for telephoto and ultra telephoto installations, installed at a short distance from the screen, filling the screen with an image of the same size and brightness as the telephoto lens model it replaces, with less lumens required, for greater efficiency.
The REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector offers a wide range of installation options.
Front or Rear Projection
Owing to its short throw ratio (0.57:1), the Canon WX450ST D makes for an ideal unit for both front and rear projection.
Utilized as a front installed projector, its built-in lens shift function can enable virtually distortion-free images and videos without the distraction of a bright glare, as its light does not enter into the presenter's line of vision, making this an ideal short-throw projector for lecture halls and large meeting rooms. Because of this, on-screen shadows are virtually eliminated!
As a rear installed projector, the WX450ST D's short throw ratio becomes a great solution for space-restricted areas, such as surveillance rooms, events and simulations.
Telephoto / Ultra Telephoto Applications
The WX450ST D can be an excellent replacement choice for units normally used in telephoto and ultra telephoto applications. This type of installation, at the rear of a room, on a high tower or ceiling mounted, can be costly and require significant work and time to install. Long cable runs can also reduce image quality. Say goodbye to these challenges. The WX450ST D can be a cost-effective alternative, taking less time and effort to install. Making use of less expensive, shorter cables can save money, without sacrificing high quality resolution, clarity or ease of use.
For greater flexibility, double the brightness and even larger projected images and videos, two WX450ST D projectors can be stacked. Even with two units, its compact and lightweight design makes it possible for the pair to fit into areas where many other projectors could not be as easily accommodated.
Ceiling Mounting
The light weight and compact size of the WX450ST D help make a ceiling installation an easier task. Optional feet can be fitted on the unit for an inverted mount.
The WX450ST D can also be installed vertically for greater flexibility and convenience.
Easy Maintenance
In Canon comparative testing, the WX450ST D consumed less than .079W per lumen. This low ratio helps to extend the life of its lamp to 3,000 hours (or 4,500 hours in Eco Mode). Furthermore, its filter design provides for up to a lengthy 12,000 hours of operation before needing replacement.
Both the lamp and the unit's air filters can be easily replaced while the projector is installed - even if ceiling mounted, in order to greatly enhance ease of use, ease of maintenance and simplicity.
Flexible use, cost-efficiencies and high performance merge into one, behind the networking power and simplicity of the REALiS WX450ST D Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector.
Control Over IP
Included in the WX450ST D is a full suite of network features including full control over IP. Power management, usage tracking and control can be done over the onboard LAN port for up to 250 projectors on the network - a boon for schools or in trade show applications. Operate, track, monitor and generate operating reports for your organization with ease. Integrated Creston Room View support is also provided.
Another key network feature is the content streaming capability. Without dedicated software, one or more PCs can connect to the WX450ST D over a standard LAN to share content.
Simultaneous Multi-Screen Projection (Picture by Picture)
The WX450ST D has a built-in processor to show up to 4 different screens simultaneously, using both HDMI and DVI digital video inputs. This can be done within a room, or in multiple locations, helping to simplify installation.
Advanced multimedia functions include 4-point keystone correction, simultaneous Picture-by-Picture HDMI and DVI split-screen display and built-in edge blending with easy integration adjustment. It is also possible to use the REALiS WX520 D without a PC, thanks to the built-in USB memory stick slot and pre-installed JPEG image file support with one of the fastest load times in the industry. The built-in 5W speaker allows audio playback without an external audio component.
Not only will the REALiS WX520D take up less space, it will also be a quiet companion to your presentation, with a low fan noise rating of 38dB, going down to 32dB in Power Saver mode. Your audiences will be totally concentrated on what they see and only on what you want them to hear.
The REALiS WX520D projector is backed by Canon USA's Projector and Lamp Limited Warranty, which guarantees that the projector will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for 3 years from the date of original purchase, and the lamp for 120 days from the date of original purchase.

Ancient history & the iPhone?
A match made in heaven!
iPhone's - yesterdays jam.
The Museum of London has launched a free iPhone application showing what London used to look like way before the iPhone was invented. Street Museum is a photographic database, linked to locations through Google maps and capable of overlaying on reality to provide a proper before-and-after look for those who'd prefer London …
A match made in heaven!
iPhone's - yesterdays jam.
come on museum of london, get with it.
Where's the android version?
Because Android users don't leave their parent's basement to go outside. </flamebait>
Yuk, the colour looks really bad in that photo - I hope the rest are better.
...It was clearly done on one of the original Apple Macs.
You're going to see a lot more of this because of toss pot jobbs wanting everything written specifically for the iphone.
If this was written natively for the iphone its an entire rewrite to port to android et al, exactly what bad ol steve wants.
I was interested in going back to an iphone with the 4g (currently on nexus one - which is v good), but with this closed garden/wall/everything approach apple are moving to they are going to be too much of an apple only place.
I don't get your response - Apple gets a really cool app first, and possibly the only platform it launches on. And your immediate response is to forego the Apple device it runs on? How is that anything but stupid on your part? You may not like "the walled garden" but outside the wall is desert and desolation - that's the whole analogy.
In the lower right corner of the photo, is that a smartly dressed Sarah Bee handing out an early broadsheet edition of El Reg, with details of the latest developments in tetrode valve technology?
Does she still have the hat?
There's nowt wrong wi' valves, y' whippersnapper! Can't plug 'em in the wrong way round, can't bust 'em by viciously overdrivin' 'em.
Y' 'ad t' work 'ard t' get t' magic smoke out o' a valve. Why, it took ninety volts t' even get some o't'buggers workin'! Ninety volts! It could tek two people just t' carry a Vidor portable radio wi' weight o' t' batteries, an' one o' them would likely get 'erniated disk!
You try puttin' 90 volts across yer TTL or yer CMOS "silly cone chip" an see 'ow long it teks ter cook yer daft Jessie lego brick fer good.
*And* there were no need t' tie yerself t' chassis fer fear o' static electricity neither! Most o' time, whole computer room were filled wi' static electricity an' ozone anyway.
Some day, Google (or someone) will probably do this with the Streetview database.
Every day reality may suck, for many of us - but just look at what a great augmented reality, we will one day make, for our decedents!
(Assuming we're not all back to horse drawn carriages, by then, of course!)
That is the early broadsheet version of El Reg!! If you look closely, I think you can see an article about some "young bounder" named Werner Van Braun "mucking about with a rocket that he claims can carry a grenade-sized payload a stunning 10 miles!" at Peenemunde, another article on the latest vacuum tube that is "only as large as a cricket ball!" and another article bemoaning Britain's procurement of more battleships when everyone knows that the next war will be fought with rigid airships!!
If only those in power had listened, but alas, true greatness is never appreciated in its own time!!
If we could port this to something that supported VR goggles then we could enable readers of the Daily Fail to walk around seeing everything as 1950.
Daily Mail readers already interpret everything they see through inbuilt 1950s mental filters. The VR goggles would have to forcibly inject 21st century reality, a much more difficult task which would probably need reinforcing with psychoactive drugs.
The linked site is done in Flash. Oh, the irony.
Swanky! I thought El Reg came from a rusty WW2 era bomb shelter just down the road from the Red Rover.
Alas, I find out that it's just another oak-paneled, deep-leather-chaired, green velvet-lined Victorian drawing room filled with hand-bar mustachioed toffs tossing back aged-75-years whiskies.
yer, mine's the Fire-warden's overcoat. PUT THAT BLOODY LIGHT OUT!
You must be thinking of The Inquirer, mate: just like The Register, only with more sick on the pavement.
It would just be orchards, and that was back in 1950's. Of course there wouldn't be any 280 freeway either, and DeAnza blvd would be named differently, and be only two lanes. Such is progress.
Because Apple has mindshare among the public, its a recognizable 'brand'. Android phones are in competition with it, and each other. Suppliers have to promote their phones as well as Android, guess who wins the marketing war on this split?
If they labeled the phones "GooglePhone compatible" or just "Google" (with the in/famous logo) instead of droid' then I think it would have a higher profile among the public - Google is a well known name. WTF is Android? A movie? A T800? An embarrassing SciFi sounding name?
This is not Captain ranty, go look at http://www.androphones.com/all-android-phones.php and imagine if all of those had a little "Google" logo on the screen side of the phones (so you can't help but always see it).

Beachy lands on DL with elbow inflammation
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- After broadcasting Thursday night's game against the Cardinals for MLB Network, John Smoltz returned to the Braves' team hotel and gave manager Fredi Gonzalez further reason to hope Brandon Beachy is simply experiencing one of the many pitfalls a pitcher can experience when returning from Tommy John surgery.
After missing all of the 2000 season while recovering from this surgical procedure, Smoltz returned to Atlanta's rotation on May 17, 2001, and made five starts before arm discomfort forced him to spend the next six weeks on the disabled list. He ended up going to the bullpen in August to begin what proved to be a three-plus-season stint as Atlanta's closer.
In similar fashion, Beachy has been placed on the DL after making five starts since returning from this elbow surgery that requires at least one full year of rehab. During Tuesday night's start against the Mets, Beachy experienced a drop in velocity and began experiencing discomfort that he likened to what he felt when he was shut down in June, a few days before making his scheduled return from the surgical procedure.
The Braves have labeled Beachy's ailment right elbow inflammation, the same one he battled two months ago. Beachy will gain a better understanding of his situation when he visits Dr. James Andrews on Monday.
"[Smoltz] said some people tell you it's 12 months, but you don't feel really, really good until the 14th or 15th month," Gonzalez said. "Everybody is different. ... It's always good when you hear Smoltzie say it's normal."
Beachy has said he is confident that he will pitch again this season, and the Braves seem to genuinely share this sentiment.
Beachy created some reason for concern when none of the final three fastballs he threw on Tuesday night registered over 85 mph. But the Braves have been encouraged by the fact that he has not described discomfort that would lead them to believe he is dealing with structural damage in his elbow.
"I'm not really overly concerned about what he is telling us," Gonzalez said.
J-Up ejected by plate umpire after groundout
ST. LOUIS -- Braves outfielder Justin Upton was ejected during the sixth inning of Friday night's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals for screaming an expletive that he contends was a product of the frustration he felt after sending a ground ball toward second baseman Kolten Wong.
Home-plate umpire Paul Nauert did not share this opinion. Feeling the curse word was directed toward him, Nauert opted to eject Upton as he was running toward first base.
"If I can't get frustrated with myself and say what I want to myself, it's sad," Upton said. "It's really sad. We play this game and we work hard and we get frustrated with ourselves. I have no clue what he heard. It's sad."
Upton heard Nauert yell for the ejection as he was going down the first-base line. Still, he ran through the bag before racing back toward the plate in an irate manner to confront the umpire. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez stood between the two as Upton vehemently issued a few more choice words before being pushed toward the dugout by first-base coach Terry Pendleton.
"I don't want to get into the details of the whole thing, but I didn't think it was a good ejection," Gonzalez said. "I don't think there is a right time and a wrong time to eject people. But I don't think when the guy is running away from you, whatever he said, it's not a good ejection."
Upton, Gonzalez and Freddie Freeman, who was on deck when this transpired, chose not to say what word or words might have been misunderstood by Nauert.
"He misinterpreted one of the words, and to be honest with you, Freddie Freeman was standing on deck," Upton said. "He heard it loud and clear and he was further away. I think it was more of a sensitivity issue."
One pitch before grounding out, Upton looked at a called strike and then stared at Nauert. Three innings earlier, Upton had slammed his helmet in disgust after looking at a called third strike.
"He said two words," Freeman said. "[Nauert] heard one word and Justin didn't say that word."
Worth noting
• The decision to place Beachy on the disabled list enabled the Braves to gain some outfield depth by recalling Todd Cunningham from Triple-A Gwinnett. Cunningham, who can play each of the three outfield positions, recorded two hits in the six at-bats he recorded while he was with Atlanta from July 29-Aug. 11.
• Dan Uggla will begin a two-game Minor League rehab stint on Monday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Uggla, who had his vision repaired via LASIK surgery on Aug. 16, is expected to return to Atlanta's lineup on Wednesday.

On Nov. 17 and 18, members of the First Presbyterian Church in Dardanelle invite everyone in the Arkansas River Valley to celebrate the structural anniversary of the church at 200 N. Second St.
The open house on Nov. 17 will be from 2-4 p.m. Church members will be dressed in period costumes, goodies cooked from old family recipes reminiscent of the era the church was erected, choral singing and of course pictures and members on hand who can share the rich history of the church.
At 2 p.m. on Nov. 18, there will be a formal rededication service conducted by church pastor Kelly Pearson, as well as two additional speakers from the Presbytery of Arkansas.
The church was modeled after the Akron Plan, which allowed for increased mobility and more viewing of the sanctuary from outer classrooms.
The church, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is unique for several reasons, one being that many of the founding members' families are still in the area and attending church there.
Betsy Harris of Russellville is a sixth-generation member and grew up listening to the stories about how the beautiful stained glass windows were purchased and about why the church has been dubbed "the church the women built."
"It was really the women of the time that were the driving force of building the new church," Harris said. "They decided to raise money one day by picking cotton and the entire town practically shut down. The men wanted to see the women picking cotton, so the businesses closed. The men brought their lunches and cat-called and hooted at the ladies, all in good fun, and cheered them on."
Also intrigued by the women picking cotton and the sight of the men eating their lunches on the sidelines was a local photographer.
Harris said the photographs were quite famous at the time, and even postcards were made from the images. The photographs were printed nationally, and one man in New York City became fascinated with the image.
Ferdinand Hopkins, a fellow Presbyterian, saw the photos and sent a sizable donation at least twice to the women to aid in the building project.
The women used the money to purchase the stained glass windows, one of which bares Hopkins' name. The women also requested a portrait of Hopkins, which still hangs in church parlor.
Harris said the women were convinced Hopkins was a part of the famous John Hopkins family, and most believed that until their dying days.
Harris researched the names on each window for a brochure and discovered, while he did have ties to the medical community, it was not as a physician or as part of the famous Hopkins family.
Hopkins was the developer of Mother Sill's Seasick Remedy, a women's product of the time.
"They thought so highly of him, I don't think those ladies would have believed me if I told them what Mr. Hopkins really did," Harris said with a laugh. "They would be spinning in their graves!"
Harris said she actually found descendants of Hopkins during her research and shared the church history and Hopkins' importance to the women of the church. She also learned the Hopkins estate in New York is now Muscoot Farm, a turn-of-the century interpretive farm owned and operated by the Westchester County Department of Parks and Recreation and Conservation.
Harris and the congregation want to invite everyone to join them in their celebration Nov. 17-18, to learn more about the construction of the church and the era it was built.
"We want everyone to come enjoy the festivities," Harris said. "We just want to share this momentous and historical occasion with everyone in the River Valley and hope others will join us on Saturday and Sunday."
For more information, call the church office at (479) 229-3394.

Local News Reporter's Awful Joke Hurts Adorable Toddler's Feelings
While reporting on last week's Fall Harvest Festival in Platteville, Colorado, Fox 31 Denver News reporter Dan "Dano" Daru decided to take a moment during his live broadcast to make fun of a little kid in a stroller.
"Drew the Farm Kid" did not appreciate Daru's impromptu roast, and responded by turning on the water works. "Way to go, Dan," chided one of the anchors in the studio. "Way to make a baby boy cry on live television."
A remorseful Daru tried to make amends by doing a song and dance for the kid — aptly, "If I Only Had a Brain" — but by then it was too late: Daru had found himself a permanent spot atop Drew's kill list.

11 Personalized Decorations for Your Thanksgiving
Whip up a Scandinavian-style table protector from–get this–wooden clothespins and floral wire. Oslo-born crafter Paul Lowe shares his easy how-to in Sweet Paul Eat and Make ($30; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Simply disassemble 40 clothespins, lay them flat side down, and drill a hole in each, about ½ inch from the tapered end. Thread the pins onto the wire with the double-notched sides facing right, as shown. Then, pull the wire into a circle and twist the ends to secure. You'll be done before the kettle boils.
Now here's an idea you'll want to clip and save: Inspired by a post on aestheticoutburst.blogspot.com, this project takes advantage of wooden letters intended for sorority and fraternity paddles (3/8"-wide letters, 80 cents each; paddletramps.com). If you plan to paint your letters and clothespins (3/4"-wide clothespins, 75 cents each; bearwithusinc.com), start by sliding the clothespins apart into two pieces and setting the metal springs aside. Apply two coats of spray paint to both the clothespins and the letters, allowing one hour of drying time after each coat. (We used Krylon's Bahama Sea and Flat White, from $5.60 for 12 ounces; amazon.com.) Reassemble the clothespins. For each one, center a letter near the top, open edge, as shown; affix with wood glue ($5.95 for 4 ounces; amazon.com). Let dry for 30 minutes before using the clothespins to hang mementos from twine.

Vote: Best adventure game of 2012
I love action-oriented games. I love firing off virtual guns and setting off digital explosions as much as the next gamer. That said, it is nice to be able to settle into something a little more slow-paced, something quiet and gentle, that puts characterisation and storytelling ahead of action.
Traditionally, saying "adventure game" meant a Sierra or LucasArts style point-and-click, like Monkey Island or Space Quest. These days, adventure games take all kinds of shapes, from first-person adventures like the hauntingly beautiful Dear Esther, through the 3D platforming and exploration of Journey, to interactive movies like Telltale's groundbreaking Walking Dead serial.
While the field of nominees is fairly small in this category, competition is going to be very fierce. I am a big fan of thatgamecompany's incredible piece of interactive art, Journey, and I hope it will do well in the voting, but I also know that there are many Walking Dead fans in Screen Play's readership, who have been devouring every episode of this nail-biting interactive thriller.
The Unfinished Swan is likely to do well in voting, too. While I found it unsatisfying overall, there is no denying the charm of its opening paint-spattered levels. Wilderness survival adventure Miasmata, a remarkable project made by two brothers, is also receiving excellent word-of-mouth recommendations.
Now, though, it's time to vote. You can only for for one game, and results will be kept secret until tomorrow. You can write in your own nomination if you wish, and you can discuss your choices in the comments below.
Thanks for participating.

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/893,299, filed Jul. 19, 2004 now U.S. Pat No. 7,190,048, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The invention relates to the field of random access memory (RAM) devices formed using a resistance variable material.
Resistance variable memory elements, which include Programmable Conductive Random Access Memory (PCRAM) elements, have been investigated for suitability as semi-volatile and non-volatile random access memory devices. A typical PCRAM device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,348,365 to Moore and Gilton.
In a typical PCRAM device, a conductive material, such as silver, is incorporated into a chalcogenide glass. The resistance of the chalcogenide glass can be programmed to stable higher resistance and lower resistance states. An unprogrammed PCRAM device is normally in a higher resistance state. A write operation programs the PCRAM device to a lower resistance state by applying a voltage potential across the chalcogenide glass and forming a conductive pathway. The PCRAM device may then be read by applying a voltage pulse of a lesser magnitude than required to program it; the resistance across the memory device is then sensed as higher or lower to define the ON and OFF states.
The programmed lower resistance state of a PCRAM device can remain intact for an indefinite period, typically ranging from hours to weeks, after the voltage potentials are removed; however, some refreshing may be useful. The PCRAM device can be returned to its higher resistance state by applying a reverse voltage potential of about the same order of magnitude as used to write the device to the lower resistance state. Again, the higher resistance state is maintained in a semi- or non-volatile manner once the voltage potential is removed. In this way, such a device can function as a variable resistance memory having at least two resistance states, which can define two respective logic states, i.e., at least a bit of data.
One exemplary PCRAM device uses a germanium selenide (i.e., GexSe100-x) chalcogenide glass as a backbone. The germanium selenide glass has, in the prior art, incorporated silver (Ag) and silver selenide (Ag2+/−xSe).
Previous work by the inventor has been directed to PCRAM devices incorporating a silver-chalcogenide material, as a layer of silver selenide or silver sulfide in combination with a silver-metal layer and a chalcogenide glass layer. Although the silver-chalcogenide materials of the prior art memory devices are suitable for assisting in the formation of a conductive channel through the chalcogenide glass layer for silver ions to move into, other non-silver-based chalcogenide materials may be desirable because of certain disadvantages associated with silver use. For example, use of silver-containing compounds/alloys such as Ag2Se may lead to agglomeration problems in the PCRAM device layering and Ag-chalcogenide-based devices cannot withstand higher processing temperatures, e.g., approaching 260� C. and higher. Tin (Sn) has a reduced thermal mobility in GexSe100-x compared to silver and the tin-chalcogenides are less toxic than the silver-chalcogenides.
Research has been conducted into the use of thin films of SnSe (tin selenide) as switching devices under the application of a voltage potential across the film. It has been found that a 580 Å SnSe film shows non-volatile switching between a higher resistance state (measurable in MOhm) and a lower resistance state (measurable in kOhm) when potentials of 5-15 V are applied by forming an Sn-rich material (e.g., a dendrite). Also, the addition of Sn to a GexSe100-x glass, which is a chalcogenide glass, has been found to produce memory switching if a high enough potential, e.g., >40 V, is applied across the chalcogenide glass. However, such switching potentials are too high for a viable memory device.
The invention provides a resistance variable memory device and a method of forming a resistance variable memory device.
In one exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a memory device having a stack with at least one layer of tin-chalcogenide (e.g., Sn1+/−xSe, where x is between about 1 and 0) proximate a first chalcogenide glass layer. The stack of layers comprising a first chalcogenide glass layer and a tin-chalcogenide layer is formed between two conductive layers or electrodes. In other exemplary embodiments of the invention, similar memory device stacks may contain more than one chalcogenide glass layer and an optional metal layer. The invention provides structures for PCRAM devices with improved temperature tolerance and methods for forming such devices.
The above and other features and advantages of the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description, which is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the following detailed description, reference is made to various specific embodiments of the invention. These embodiments are described with sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be employed, and that various structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
The term "substrate" used in the following description may include any supporting structure including, but not limited to, a semiconductor substrate that has an exposed substrate surface. A semiconductor substrate should be understood to include silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-sapphire (SOS), doped and undoped semiconductors, epitaxial layers of silicon supported by a base semiconductor foundation, and other semiconductor structures. When reference is made to a semiconductor substrate or wafer in the following description, previous process steps may have been utilized to form regions or junctions in or over the base semiconductor or foundation. The substrate need not be semiconductor-based, but may be any support structure suitable for supporting an integrated circuit, including, but not limited to, metals, alloys, glasses, polymers, ceramics, and any other supportive materials as is known in the art.
The term "silver" is intended to include not only elemental silver, but silver with other trace metals or in various alloyed combinations with other metals as known in the semiconductor industry, as long as such silver alloy is conductive, and as long as the physical and electrical properties of the silver remain unchanged.
The term "tin" is intended to include not only elemental tin, but tin with other trace metals or in various alloyed combinations with other metals as known in the semiconductor industry, as long as such tin alloy is conductive, and as long as the physical and electrical properties of the tin remain unchanged.
The term "tin-chalcogenide" is intended to include various alloys, compounds, and mixtures of tin and chalcogens (e.g., sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po), and oxygen (O)), including some species which have a slight excess or deficit of tin. For example, tin selenide, a species of tin-chalcogenide, may be represented by the general formula Sn1+/−xSe. Though not being limited by a particular stoichiometric ratio between Sn and Se, devices of the present invention typically comprise an Sn1+/−xSe species where x ranges between about 1 and about 0.
The term "chalcogenide glass" is intended to include glasses that comprise at least one element from group VIA (or group 16) of the periodic table. Group VIA elements (e.g., O, S, Se, Te, and Po) are also referred to as chalcogens.
The invention is now explained with reference to the figures, which illustrate exemplary embodiments and throughout which like reference numbers indicate like features.
A memory element, i.e., the portion of the memory device 100 which stores information, is formed over the first electrode 16. In the embodiment shown in
Over the chalcogenide glass layer 18 is a layer of tin-chalcogenide 20, preferably tin selenide (Sn1+/−xSe, where x is between about 1 and 0). It is also possible that other chalcogenide materials may be substituted for selenium here, such as sulfur, oxygen, or tellurium. The tin-chalcogenide layer 20 is preferably about 500 Å thick; however, its thickness depends, in part, on the thickness of the underlying chalcogenide glass layer 18. The ratio of the thickness of the tin-chalcogenide layer 20 to that of the underlying chalcogenide glass layer 18 should be between about 5:1 and about 1:1, more preferably about 2.5:1.
Still referring to
Devices constructed according to the embodiments of the invention, particularly those having a tin selenide layer (e.g., layer 20) disposed proximate a chalcogenide glass layer (e.g., layer 18) show improved temperature tolerance.
In accordance with the embodiment shown at
In PCRAM devices, a silver-chalcogenide such as silver selenide has been used in place of the illustrated tin-chalcogenide layer 20. When a relatively thick layer of silver is sputtered directly onto silver selenide (as an electrode or a metal layer); it has been found that agglomeration of silver at the silver-selenide interface typically occurs. Such agglomeration can cause subsequent processing problems during manufacture of a memory device. Use of a tin-chalcogenide layer 20 instead of a silver-chalcogenide layer in such a position prevents this silver agglomeration and works at least as effectively as silver-chalcogenide has in the prior art in relation to formation of a conducting channel.
Also, use of a tin-chalcogenide layer, such as layer 20 in this and other embodiments of the invention, offers improved temperature stability for the resulting device 100. For example, devices incorporating a tin-chalcogenide layer in accordance with the invention are able to withstand annealing temperatures during processing of 260� C. for 5 minutes; a thermal step which PCRAM devices utilizing a silver-chalcogenide layer cannot withstand.
The optional second chalcogenide glass layer 18 a is formed over the tin-chalcogenide layer 20, is preferably Ge40Se60, and is preferably about 150 Å thick. Over this optional second chalcogenide glass layer 18 a is a metal layer 22, which is preferably silver (Ag) and is preferably about 500 Å thick. Over the metal layer 22 is an optional third chalcogenide glass layer 18 b, which is preferably Ge40Se60 and is preferably about 100 Å thick. The optional third chalcogenide glass layer 18 b provides an adhesion layer for subsequent electrode formation. As with layer 18 of
Over the optional third chalcogenide glass layer 18 b is a second electrode 24, which may be any conductive material, except those that will migrate into the stack and alter memory operation (e.g., Cu or Ag), as discussed above for the preceding embodiments. Preferably, the second electrode 24 is tungsten (W).
The above-discussed embodiments are exemplary embodiments of the invention; however, other exemplary embodiments as shown in
Excess tin in a PCRAM stack may prohibit the PCRAM cell from switching. This is due, at least in part, to the formation of an Ag/Sn alloy which prevents the Ag from participating in switching. To avoid the formation of excess Sn (or Sn2+ or Sn4+) which will subsequently impair device performance, a PCRAM stack may be formed with an alloy-control layer 21 of Se or SnO in two different locations: above the tin-chalcogenide layer 20 and below the tin-chalcogenide layer 20. Both of these cases show good electrical switching. However, the best switching is found in devices having a tin-chalcogenide layer 20 of preferred SnSe in direct contact with the chalcogenide glass layer 18 and where the alloy-control layer 21 is above the tin-chalcogenide 20 layer, as shown by
It is believed that as Sn (or Sn2+ or Sn4+) is freed up during switching (when the Se from the preferred tin-chalcogenide layer 20 goes onto the chalcogenide glass layer 18 structure and creates a conductive pathway) excess Se or SnO from the alloy-control layer 21 interacts with this Sn and prevents it from alloying with Ag or from migrating into the chalcogenide glass layer 18.
Improvements include data retention and possibly cycling, as well as a decrease in the read disturb of the OFF state. The read disturb is the tendency of the device to turn ON after reading multiple times when it is programmed to the OFF state.

A conditioning step is performed by applying a voltage pulse of a given duration and magnitude to incorporate material from the tin-chalcogenide layer 20 into the chalcogenide glass layer 18 to form a conducting channel in the chalcogenide glass layer 18. The conducting channel will support a conductive pathway during operation of the memory device 100.
The embodiments described above refer to the formation of only a few possible resistance variable memory device structures (e.g., PCRAM) in accordance with the invention, which may be part of a memory array. It must be understood, however, that the invention contemplates the formation of other memory structures within the spirit of the invention, which can be fabricated as a memory array and operated with memory element access circuits.
In the case of a computer system, the processor system may include peripheral devices such as a floppy disk drive 454 and a compact disc (CD) ROM drive 456, which also communicate with CPU 444 over the bus 452. Memory circuit 448 is preferably constructed as an integrated circuit, which includes one or more resistance variable memory devices, e.g., device 100. If desired, the memory circuit 448 may be combined with the processor, for example CPU 444, in a single integrated circuit.

text:
Just as the establishment were petrified of Martin Luther King's influence when he began to speak out against Vietnam, the media only dare give Congressman Ron Paul any attention when it's to viciously attack and smear him, which is why the debunkers will be out in force tomorrow when the latest "money bomb" doesn't rival previous record breaking totals.
The MLK day money bomb has already raised a healthy $1 million as of early Monday evening - more than any other presidential candidate will make today - but a final total of $2 million or more will undoubtedly lead to more hit pieces and empty proclamations that the Ron Paul Revolution has been derailed.
The debunkers won't concede that there is a legal limit that any one individual can donate to a political candidate, nor will they even mention the record-breaking success of Paul's December 16th Boston Tea Party donation drive which raked in $7 million dollars.

Indeed, these are the same kind of establishment peanut gallery hacks that derided the $7 million haul as an "abject failure" despite the fact that it was the biggest single-day donation amount in political history, beating John Kerry's $5.7 million record.
Anyone who has maintained a peripheral interest in the Ron Paul campaign knows that there has been a near-year long campaign of censorship, suppression and most recently smear directed against the Congressman from nearly all corners of the mainstream press, both online and traditional.
Perhaps the most blatant act of deliberate denial of Paul's popularity occurred this weekend when Fox News pretended that John McCain had come second in the Nevada caucus when Ron Paul had in fact received hundreds more votes. We've seen example after example of similar behavior, sweeping aside glib dismissals that these things are mere "human error".
The reality that a literal PR war has been launched in a crass effort to stifle burgeoning support for Paul is self-evident and self-righteous scoffing hit pieces about "a measly $2 million" are probably already being prepared as you read this.

The truth is that without million of dollars in backhanders from Chinese criminal networks and corrupt lobbyists, the establishment candidates would barely have enough cash in the coffers to fill the campaign bus with gas to get to the next primary.
Ron Paul's support - $4 million here, $7 million here, $2 million there, comes from real working and middle class Americans who are so fed up of the lies, the trillion dollar wars, and the devaluing dollar, that they are fully prepared to give up what's left of their meager savings in order to change the status quo that has left them broke and hopeless.
So let these Neo-Con, Neo-Lib, anti-American scumbags revile Paul, persecute Paul and say all manner of things against him, because no matter how many hit pieces they froth, and no matter what happens in this election, the sands are shifting, and the attitude that the Ron Paul Revolution has stoked across America will reverberate for generations to come.
As the Congressman himself says, there is no stopping us now!

I've tried many things/ways to get the android app to work, to communicate with my Win7 Home PC (I'm using ComCast for ISP) -- but sadly I haven't had any success. I'm looking for just a step by step way to get it all to work.

Second, I imagine the rules and limitations extend beyond just Direct Broadcast Satellite forums. I would expect them to apply to any public forum, whether it is a disucssion board for football fans, Facebook, Twitter...whatever. Corporate confidentiality is a reality and is a condition of your employment. You are being entrusted with priviliged information. You have no right to disseminate it. Employees of any large corporation are typically privvy to confidential information that is not for public dissemination and employees are prohibited fom doing so. I know I am. There are things I am not allowed to discuss in any internet forum, radio call-in show, corner bar or even a private conversation in my own home with non-employees. Failing to maintain confidentiality can impact things from competetive balance within the company's industry to stock prices and profitability. When you are playing with the livelihoods of hundreds or thousands of other people you have no "right" to say something just because you know it.

Beltran, Molina remain with PR amid Classic run
By Steve Dorsey / Special to MLB.com
JUPITER, Fla. -- Outfielder Carlos Beltran and catcher Yadier Molina will remain away from Cardinals camp for at least a few more days, as they depart for San Francisco and the championship round of the World Baseball Classic after Puerto Rico's game against the Dominican Republic on Saturday in Miami.
Matheny expressed mixed emotions about still not having two front-line starters in camp.
"We'll have to see what they look like when they get here," Matheny said. "I'm not going to shy away from the fact that I look forward to having our guys back and trying to get them on a schedule that leads us to Opening Day.
"I'm excited for the fact that the Classic helps the game of baseball. That's the business we're in, so we need to promote that. But it's hard not to be selfish, and on the selfish side, I'm concerned about our guys. I'm concerned about our team. So it's good to have Mitchell [Boggs] back.
"I'm as patriotic as the next guy. I always hope the best for the United States, but I'm pretty focused on what it takes for our individual players to be ready."
Rzepczynski returns from eye injury, goes 1-2-3
JUPITER, Fla. -- All appears well with Marc Rzepczynski's eyesight, if his brief, but effective, outing Saturday is any indication.
A day after being cleared to return to the mound, and eight days after he sustained an injury to his left eye from a piece of debris while playing golf, Rzepczynski pitched a quick 1-2-3 inning the Cardinals' 3-0 Grapefruit League loss to the Tigers at Roger Dean Stadium.
Rzepczynski needed only 11 pitches in the top of the seventh to retire the side. He handled a chopper in front of the mound for the first out, was aided by a nice defensive play by shortstop Greg Garcia for the second out and punctuated his one-inning stint with a strikeout for the third out.
"His ball had a lot of life to it," manager Mike Matheny said. "I think, in all, it was a good outing for him, one of the better ones he's had in a while. I'm just glad, first of all, his vision is right and everything checked out."
Rzepczysnki said the eye is close to being 100 percent healed and he was not bothered by it on the mound.
"I see great," the left-hander said. "I didn't have any problems, so that was a big thing. I threw my sinker where I wanted it to be, so it was a pretty good day."
Boggs returns from Classic seeking regular work
JUPITER, Fla. -- Right-hander Mitchell Boggs returned to Cardinals camp Saturday following his stint with Team USA, which was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic on Friday at Marlins Park.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said he's anxious to get Boggs some work in a game situation after he pitched only 1 1/3 innings for Team USA, but it would not be before Sunday's game against the Marlins at Roger Dean Stadium.
"There's a good chance it will be soon, [but] not today," Matheny said before Saturday's game against the Tigers. "We'll try to get him in as soon as possible, especially since he hasn't had much work."
Boggs said he enjoyed the two-week experience in the Classic despite seeing limited action, but was excited to return to Cardinals camp.
"It was something I was honored to be a part of," Boggs said. "Probably didn't get a chance to pitch as much as you would like if you're in camp, but we all knew that, we all signed up for that. It's an experience I'll remember forever."
Boggs said he has no reason to believe he won't be ready by Opening Day despite not getting the regular work he would have with the Cardinals the past two weeks.
"My arm feels great, my stuff is good," Boggs said. "I figure I'll be in the game [Sunday]."
Matheny is confident Boggs will be ready to pitch in a game situation soon.
"He had two strong sides in between [his Classic outings], so we feel good about him throwing," Matheny said. "He feels well-rested, but he's ready to get out there and pitch in game situations for sure. We'll restructure as we need to. We've got to get guys in when we can get them. We're getting to that point in spring where it's just tough getting guys the work they need. I mean, we pulled [Adam Wainwright] out early [Friday] just to get some other guys the work. We got out of it what we needed to, but it's going to get tougher as these guys get stretched out."
Worth noting
• Third baseman David Freese sat out his second consecutive game Saturday because of pain in his back from a fall he took while chasing a foul ball near the dugout about two weeks ago. Matheny said it's mostly precautionary.
"He started to feel better, then it tightened up on him," Matheny said. "We just have to be careful. We'll keep watching and keep a close eye on it."

As long as you can accelerate you should be able to reach your 10mph speed given enough time.
Specifying "exactly on the border" numerics is how cheap consumer junk stays cheap, and also keeps disappointing with its inability to actually achieve stated specifications. You need the margins for anything robust.
480oz*in of torque is what is needed to move the robot up a vertical wall (if the tires could maintain friction).
You are right; that wasn't made clear.
