Inventor: BOULOS EDWARD NASHED
IPC: C03C3/087
Filed: 1997-07-21
Abstract: The invention is a method of preventing the formation
of nickel sulfide stones in soda-lime-silica glass. Nickel
compounds are often added as colorants or enter the glass
batch as an impurity from raw materials. It involves mixing
batch raw materials together, melting and refining them to
form a molten glass, the improvement comprising the step of
reducing the formation of nickel sulfide stones by adding to
the batch materials 0.01-2.0 wt.% of an oxygen containing
manganese compound calculated as manganese dioxide. The
manganese compound may be a manganese oxide or salts of
permanganic acid such as sodium or potassium permanganate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for selective PVD conductor fill in
IC structure incorporating an optical end point detecting mechanism. The present invention utilizes
a high density plasma source and the technique of bias sputtering of film layers formed on a substrate
to eliminate crowning or cusping problems associated with deposition on the field of a patterned
substrate to provide selective deposition of a conductive material in a trench, hole or via formed on
the substrate. The use of a high density plasma source and separate bias power sources applied to
the target and the substrate support member (and capacitively coupled to the substrate) enable the
target to be sputtered and the substrate to be etched, either simultaneously or in alternating steps.

Abstract: In coding a sequence of pictures (P), a motion vector (MV) is established for a block of pixels (B(*,*;n)) in a current picture (P(n)) to be coded. The motion vector (MV) indicates a block of pixels (B(*,*;n-1)) in a previous picture (P(n-1)) which is similar to the block of pixels (B(*,*;n)) in the current picture (P(n)) to be coded. Data (D) relating to the block of pixels (B(*,*;n)) in the current picture (P(n)), is compressed (CMP). The extent to which the data (D) is compressed depends on a compression parameter (CP). The compression parameter (CP) is controlled on the basis of the motion vector (MV). Accordingly, data relating to a block of pixels representing a moving object can be compressed to a relatively small extent, whereas data relating to a block of pixels representing a stationary object can be compressed to a relatively large extent. This allows a relatively good picture quality at a decoding end.

Abstract: The present invention describes a system and method for communicating
with archive systems using various query languages. 
     The inventive solution is based on the use of an interpreter,
which receives an inquiry in a non-archive-system-specific
form, converts this inquiry into an archive-system-specific
form or allocates it to an archive-system-specific form and
executes the inquiry in a selected archive system. Further
processing of the inquiry results can likewise be effected via
the interpreter. 
     Processing of the search results, management of the interface
with the archive system and the pertinent administrative work
is undertaken by the interpreter. The interpreter in accordance
with the invention offers an interface for various archive systems.
The knowledge required regarding the individual archive
systems is reduced to a minimum. A user can thus operate several
systems. The various interfaces of the interpreter in accordance
with the invention make it possible to use source code
for different archive systems with few modifications. 
     One basic advantage of the present invention is that the development
time for a search mask with the pertinent functionalities
is reduced to a minimum.
