Patent EP-1860428-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FURMAN DOV
IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: An inspection system may be configured to inspect objects, such as semiconductor wafers, using narrow-pulse broadband illumination. The illumination may be obtained in some embodiments using a laser configured to emit light into a material having a spectral broadening effect. The inspection system can include various filters which may be selectively placed in the illumination and/or imaging path in order to tune the spectrum of light impinging on the wafer and the light that is detected. The filters may include selectable filters, fixed filters, and filters whose characteristics can be adjusted in-place. In some embodiments, filters may be used to match the illumination/detection spectra of different tools. Additionally, the broadband illumination may be tuned between inspections and/or during inspections for best results. The system may support Fourier filtering whereby light, related to repetitive features of the object and in one or more wavelength sub-bands of the illumination, may be filtered.

Abstract: The assembly (1) has a container (3) containing a viscous product (P) to be applied on nails, where viscosity of the viscous product is higher than or equal to 0.3 Pascal-second. An applicator (2) removes the product contained in the container and applies the product on the nails. A flexible strip (6) of the applicator is curved and defines a concave applicator surface (15), where the strip has a non-constant thickness. The strip has reliefs on longitudinal sides of the surface, where the reliefs separate a portion of the applicator surface by a preset distance from the nails. An independent claim is also included for a method for applying make-up to nails.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic sensor device comprising excitation wires (11, 13) for generating a magnetic field (B) in a sample chamber (1) and a magnetic sensor element (12), for example a GMR element, for sensing magnetic fields generated by magnetic particles (2) in the sample chamber. The device further comprises a reference field generator consisting of a linear conductor (14) and a planar conductor (15) between which the magnetic sensor element (12) is disposed. The magnetic reference field (Bref) generated by said conductors (14, 15) does not penetrate into the sample chamber (1) but reaches only the magnetic sensor element (12). Components of the sensor signal which are due to the magnetic reference field (Bref) can therefore be separated and used to calculate the sensor gain. This value can for example be used for an auto-calibration of the device during a measurement.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making soda-lime-silica based glass. In certain example embodiments, boron oxide (e.g., B2O3) is used in the glass for reducing the refining time (or increasing the refining rate) thereof. The boron oxide may be introduced into the glass batch or melt in the form of boric acid, sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, sodium pentahydrate, or in any other suitable form. In certain example embodiments, the resulting soda-lime-silica based glass ends up including from about 0.1 to 3%, more preferably from about 0.1 to 2.5%, and most preferably from about 0.5 to 2.0% (e.g., about 1%), boron oxide. It has been found that the use of boron oxide, and/or the form in which the same is introduced into the glass, is advantageous in that it permits the refining time of the glass to be substantially reduced.

Abstract: A bumper system includes a rollformed tubular beam with bracket mounts welded to a rear surface for mounting to vehicle frame rails. The illustrated beam has a continuous tubular cross section for its entire length, and includes a center section, corner-forming end sections, and mounting sections connecting ends of the center section to the end sections. The center, end and mounting sections can be linear or similarly curved or differently curved. The center, end and mounting sections can be similarly or differently locally annealed as part of being tuned to specific impact loading criteria, including annealing all or part of cross-sectional areas. The annealing can be done in-line with a rollforming process, such as to assist with forming tight radii in the beam for meeting packaging/space-related requirements, or can be part of a secondary process for advantageously affecting impact strengths in selected localized areas.

Abstract: A storage server creates a first mirror of a primary volume of data on a first storage set that includes at least one disk and creates a second mirror of the primary volume, on a second storage set that also includes at least one disk. The server then quiesces the second storage set. A user then decouples the second storage set from the server and transports the second storage set off-site. The storage server then saves one or more incremental backups of the primary volume on the first storage set according to a specified backup schedule. According to a specified rotation schedule, a user subsequently recouples the second storage set to the server. The server detects the recoupling and, in response, automatically resynchronizes the second mirror with the primary volume, and swaps the active-inactive statuses of the first and second mirrors. The process repeats as needed.

Abstract: An implantable medical device and method for adjustably restricting a selected body lumen such as a urethra or ureter of a patient to treat urinary incontinence or ureteral reflux. The device includes an adjustable, self-sealing element having a continuous wall, including an inner surface defining a chamber. The adjustable element expands or contracts due to fluid volume introduced in the chamber for restricting a body lumen. After being implanted into a patient, the size of the adjustable element is altered by first locating the adjustable element implanted adjacent the body lumen, and then establishing fluid communication with the adjustable element. The volume of the adjustable element is then adjusted by either introducing or removing volume from the chamber of the adjustable element.

Abstract: In a sheet overlap detection apparatus, an amplification factor control unit changes the amplification factor of a second amplifier (AMP2) which amplifies the output from a first amplifier (AMP1) which receives the output from an ultrasonic receiver (2). A first overlap detection monitor output decision unit decides the output from the second amplifier (AMP2) as a sheet overlap detection monitor output when the amplification factor of the second amplifier is adjusted, and the output value of the second amplifier has become almost equal to a first set value while one sheet is sandwiched between an ultrasonic transmitter (1) and the ultrasonic receiver (2). A second overlap detection monitor output decision unit decides the output from the third amplifier (AMP3) as a sheet overlap detection monitor output when the amplification factor of the second amplifier (AMP2) is adjusted, and the output value of the second amplifier (AMP2) has not become almost equal to the first set value, but the output value of the third amplifier (AMP3) has become almost equal to a second set value while one sheet is sandwiched between the ultrasonic transmitter (1) and the ultrasonic receiver (2). An overlap detection unit detects, based on the output from the second or third amplifier, overlap of sheets which pass between the ultrasonic transmitter and the ultrasonic receiver.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing signal pulses received by a device to identify the presence or absence of a waveform is provided. The waveform may have a long duration and may have a sparse energy distribution. An example of such a waveform is the bin-5 radar waveform. Based on the arrival rate of pulses, filtering of pulses is performed. The pulses that are not filtered out are grouped into bursts and information about the bursts is stored in a burst history. For example, the burst history might store the number of pulses in the burst and an inter-burst interval time. Entries over a certain age may be deleted from the burst history. The burst history is analyzed to determine if the pulses conform to a pattern associated with the waveform. The analysis may be based on various statistics. In an embodiment, only time domain information is analyzed.
