Patent EP-0848243-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TRAINA JOHN E
IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 1997-12-08
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for monitoring particulates in stacks
or ducts(2) utilizes transmissometer/particulate monitor of the type which has an optical
assembly containing a solid state light source (30) of visible light such as a light-emitting
diode or a solid-state laser. The light source (30) emits a collimated beam that
is split, part of which is focused onto a reference detector (33) that monitors the
intensity of the light source, while the other part is directed to a beam-steering
apparatus that causes the beam to accurately pass through a gaseous sample to a desired
location such as a retro-reflector (20). A position-sensing detector (32) is used in a
closed-loop manner to control the beam-steering apparatus. The ratio of the total
energy of the detected light beam, relative to the reference detector output, is used to
determine the opacity of the gaseous sample for the purpose of providing a basis for
correlation to particulate loading of that portion of the particulates that are of a size
comparable to the wavelength of light. The correlation to particulate loading is
enhanced by a feature of the invention which measures the angular distribution of
forward-scattered light to provide information as to the particle size distribution of the
particulates. In addition, by steering the beam such that the intensity of scattered light
at a preferred scattering angle of 2 to 3 degrees is measured, a measurement may be
made that provides a signal that is proportional to the total concentration of particulates
independent of the size distribution.

Abstract: A method for bending a component made of a thermoplastic material. The component involved is in particular a sleeve-shaped component for a personal care appliance such as a dental care apparatus or the like. For the component to be bent it is heated up to the plastic's softening point. The component is brought into engagement with a forming rail and, during a relative movement of the component and the forming rail, is bent against the forming rail by means of a bending tool. As this occurs, the engagement surface between the component and the forming rail varies continuously.

Abstract: A hydraulic press has a crown, a bed, and a column connecting the crown
and bed. The column contains main cylinder devices each having a fast cylinder
and a pressure cylinder. Slide position scales are disposed either near the slide or
the main cylinder devices to detect the position of the slide during pressing. An
arithmetic unit processes data from a position instruction value generator and the
slide position scales to produce an output for controlling servo valves and circuit
switching valves. Those valves control the main cylinder devices. Bolster
cylinders are disposed on the bed to stabilize the device. Pressure detectors are
placed near the bolster cylinders. An arithmetic unit processes data from the
pressure detectors and a cushion pressure instruction value generator to control a
servo valve and a switching valve. The switching valve controls the bolster
cylinders. The main cylinders apply force against a slide which contains a slide
cylinder. Punches and trimming pieces between the slide cylinder and the bolster
cylinders move together upon the introduction of force applied by the slide
cylinder. A die and a blank holder also move together upon the introduction of
force by the slide cylinder to secure the blank in position during subsequent
operations. Pad position scales are placed near the slide cylinder. An arithmetic
unit processes data from a position instruction value generator, and the pad
position scales to control a plurality of servo valves which control fluid pressure
in the slide cylinder.

Abstract: Novel, widely-applicable structure, is used in e.g. machines, aircraft and sports equipment. Its precursor (1) is spatially deformed to final shape, e.g. by deep drawing. A three-dimensional, long-fibre composite component results, which includes layer(s) of stress-orientated reinforcing fibres on plane base material (2). Before deformation, the fibres (3) are sewn, positioned and/or fastened accordingly, onto the material. In a non-deformed core region (4) the fibres are sewn on immovably. In deformed regions, fibres have scope for longitudinal movement, passing through sewn thread- or reinforcing fibre tunnels (8). Beyond the tunnels, the fibres have excess (7). This excess will compensate for the coming spatial deformation, unhindered by the base material.

Abstract: An ASIC includes a PLL and digital circuitry to quantize
and measure phase and average maximum jitter between a
system clock input to the PLL, and a PLL-generated clock
signal. The system clock is input to a series-string of
delay elements, each contributing a delay of about 1Δt.
Each delay element is associated with a two-input logic
element, such as an EX-OR gate or an EX-NOR gate. One
input to each two-input logic element is a version of the
PLL-generated clock delayed by about (N/2)Δt. The second
input to the first EX-OR is the output from the first
delay element, the second input to the first EX-NOR is
the output from the second delay element, and so on.
Whichever delay element outputs a signal most closely in
phase with the delayed PLL-generated clock will have an
associated two-input logic element signal with a minimum
duty cycle. Each two-input logic element output signal
is capacitor integrated, sampled, stored and digitized.
The digitized output signal identifies the lowest duty
cycle two-input logic element, and thus phase shift. The
relative breadth of the integrated capacitor voltage
profile provides a measure of average maximum jitter.

Abstract: A method of using diluted nitric acid and an edge bead
removal tool to remove copper from the perimeter of a semiconductor
wafer is provided. In one method, sensitive areas of the wafer are covered
with photoresist, and the wafer perimeter cleared of photoresist, before
the acid is applied In another method, sensitive areas of the wafer are
protected with water spray as the copper etchant is applied. In a third
method, the nitric acid is applied to clear the wafer perimeter of copper
before a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is performed on the layer of
deposited copper. The excess thickness of copper protects copper
interconnection structures from reacting with the copper etchant. All
these methods permit copper to be removed at a low enough temperature
that copper oxides are not formed. A semiconductor wafer cleaned of
copper in accordance with the above-described method, and a system for
low temperature copper removal is also provided.

Abstract: A polishing system such as a chemical mechanical belt polisher includes a
hydrostatic fluid bearing that supports polishing pads and incorporates one or more of the
following novel aspects. One aspect uses compliant surfaces (230) surrounding fluid inlets
(210) in an array of inlets to extend areas of elevated support pressure around the inlets.
Another aspect modulates or reverses fluid flow in the bearing to reduce deviations in the
time averaged support pressure and to induce vibrations in the polishing pads to improve
polishing performance. Another aspect provides a hydrostatic bearing (600) with a cavity
(610) having a lateral extent greater than that of an object being polished. The depth an
d bottom contour of cavity (610) are arranged to provide nearly uniform support pressure
across an area that is surrounded by a retaining ring support (630). Changing fluid
pressure to the retaining ring support (630) adjusts the fluid film thickness of the bearing.
Yet another aspect of the invention provides a hydrostatic bearing (700) with spiral or
partial cardioid drain grooves (730). This bearing has a non-uniform support pressure
profile but provides a uniform average pressure to a wafer that is rotated relative to the
centre of the bearing. Another aspect of the invention provides a hydrostatic bearing with
constant fluid pressure at inlets but a support pressure profile that is adjustable by changing
the relative heights of fluid inlets (812) to alter local fluid film thicknesses in the
hydrostatic bearing.
