Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for processing printed material to provide an index of locations within the printed material that can be associated with external actions such as displaying a graphical image, providing an audio or video output, or providing a multimedia output. The associations are stored in a database. Apparatus and methods are also disclosed that allow a user to image the printed material and by indicating a desired location within the printed material can cause one of the associated actions to be executed.

Interactive Audio Puzzle Solving, Game Playing, And Learning Tutorial System And Method

View page
US Patent:
20070065787, Mar 22, 2007
Filed:
Aug 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/513289
Inventors:
Jack Raffel - Lexington MA, US
Joel Bresler - Lexington MA, US
International Classification:
A63F 9/00
US Classification:
434177000
Abstract:
An interactive audio puzzle solving, game playing, and learning tutorial system includes a microphone for receiving speech from a user. An electronic subsystem includes an analog-to-digital converter for converting the speech to digital signals, a speech recognition engine responsive to the analog-to-digital converter for translating the digital signals into user input data, a memory for storing the user input data, rules associated with a type of puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial, and initial data associated with a specific puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial, a logic engine for generating a decision output based on the user input data, and/or the rules and/or the initial data, a speech generation engine responsive to the decision output for providing digital speech representing the decision output, and a digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital speech to analog signals. An audio output device responsive to the analog signals converts the analog signals to output auditory speech, and wherein the speech from the user and the output auditory speech establish an interactive auditory dialogue for solving a puzzle, playing a game and/or learning from a tutorial.

Method Of Forming Conductive Path By Low Power Laser Pulse

View page
US Patent:
48106631, Mar 7, 1989
Filed:
May 6, 1986
Appl. No.:
3/260096
Inventors:
Jack I. Raffel - Lexington MA
John A. Yasaitis - Lexington MA
Glenn H. Chapman - Bedford MA
Mark L. Naiman - Lincoln MA
James A. Burns - Harvard MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H01L 21265
US Classification:
437 19
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device including a link point for electrically connecting a plurality of metal layers, comprising a first metal layer, a link insulating layer and a second metal layer. Diffusion barrier may be employed between the link insulator layer and each of the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The metal layers are connected by exposing the link point to a low-power laser for a relatively long pulse width.

Jack I. Raffel - Lexington MA
John A. Yasaitis - Lexington MA
Glenn H. Chapman - Bedford MA
Mark L. Naiman - Lincoln MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H01L 21265
B23K 2700
US Classification:
148 15
Abstract:

Integrated Circuit Packaging

View page
US Patent:
40273830, Jun 7, 1977
Filed:
Jul 16, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/596472
Inventors:
Terry O. Herndon - Carlisle MA
Jack I. Raffel - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
B01J 1700
US Classification:
29577
Abstract:
Lead connections and packaging for integrated circuits are formed by processing elongated ribbon arrays of integrated circuit dice in groups prior to cutting the ribbon along its length to free the discrete integrated circuit products. The ribbon is adhered to the base of an elongated channel having at least one leg containing implanted lead-in conductors arranged therein as an axial series of axial arrays of conductors. The axial arrays are aligned with the circuits on the ribbons and interconnections therebetween are formed as photolithographically defined conductive coatings on a top surface of the ribbon extending from bonding pads of the integrated circuit to exposed conductor ends at a top end(s) of the leg(s). The channel ribbon assembly is cut into discrete circuits after forming such interconnections for all the circuits of the ribbon as a group. Each array of lead-in conductors is packed in high density and fans out from the channel to an array of low density lead-out conductors which may be plugged into sockets or otherwise macroscopically treated.

Laser Programmable Integrated Circuit

View page
US Patent:
49374753, Jun 26, 1990
Filed:
Sep 19, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/246311
Inventors:
F. Matthew Rhodes - Arlington MA
Jack I. Raffel - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H04Q 100
H03K 17693
H03K 19096
H03K 301
US Classification:
307465
Abstract:
A laser programmable integrated circuit chip has a plurality of logic modules organized as rows and columns. The modules and other chip components are connected by a grid-like array of conductors. The conductors are initially unattached. Customization occurs by fusing laser diffuseable links and severing cut points on the conductors. The modules have continuous conductor lines running through them. These conductor lines aid in testing and are useful in routing and error avoidance. The chip also contains test registers to test the array of logic modules, the input/output blocks, and the conductors.

Voltage Programmable Links Programmed With Low Current Transistors

View page
US Patent:
53901410, Feb 14, 1995
Filed:
Jul 7, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/088253
Inventors:
Simon S. Cohen - Burlington MA
Jack I. Raffel - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G11C 1300
US Classification:
365 96
Abstract:
An electrical path can be formed through a transformable insulator between first and second conductors by applying a voltage between such conductors across at least one selected region of the insulator. Much of the current required to complete the link is provided from parasitic capacitance of the writing circuit or from capacitance which is removable from the circuit during normal operations. As a result, small transistors of less than 100 microamps may be used in the writing circuit which applies the programming voltage.
