Patent EP-0372924-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FENNERN LARRY EDGAR
IPC: G21D3/00
Filed: 1989-12-06
Abstract: A safety qualified interface device is interposed between an operator manned control position having an operator interface and qualified safety system logic monitoring and control devices. This microprocessor driven interface incorporates a memory carrying a library collection of valid safety directives as well as valid parameter inputs and permissible parameter deviation ranges. Control or parameter requests are asserted by the operator from non-safety related but conveniently positioned interface devices at the control position which are treated as trial inputs which are matched at the interface with memory retained valid directives and parameters. Where a match between memory retained data and the trial input signals occurs, then the operator is apprised through a qualified safety related display and a corresponding acknowledgment is made to the interface. The interface then transmits either the directive or parameter request to the associated divisional safety related components for execution and/or retrieval.

Abstract: A system for multichamber processing of semiconductor wafers providing flexibility in the nature of processing available in a multiprocessing facility. To accommodate changing processing demands and chamber replacement, a mobile processing chamber selectively docks with a multiple chamber system to form one of its processing chambers. The capabilities of the multiprocessing multichamber system are enhanced by extending the system to other multichamber systems through intermediate buffer storage wafer cassette and elevator systems. The extended multichamber system is further provided with intermediate access wafer storage elevator cassettes.

Abstract: The hydraulic shock absorber for industry has a piston rod (1) with a piston (15), into which a throttle aperture (21) is inserted, which, together with a matched throttle needle (19) causes increasing damping of the piston rod movement. In order to compensate for the volume of oil which is displaced when the piston rod is pushed in, a membrane (9) is mounted on a membrane support (6), whose position is fixed with respect to the housing (7), oil passing between the housing inner wall and the membrane and curving the latter inwards. The part of the throttle needle (36 - 41) which interacts with the throttle aperture has, apart from the tip (41), five conical steps (36 - 40) which have a progressive deviation up to 15 DEG  with respect to the cylindrical jacket which is intended as an extension of the cylindrical part (35) of the needle. Such a hydraulic shock absorber is in general used in automatic handling units and has a long life on the one hand and good reproducibility and reliability on the other hand, as well as smooth and efficient damping.

Abstract: Josephson contacts are fabricated in ceramic compounds from classes of high temperature superconductors. The succession of layers in the single-crystal determines the properties of the Josephson contacts. The supercurrent flows in the direction of the crystallographic c-axis. In a category of substances of high temperature superconductors the Josephson contacts are located in the space between each of two copper oxide double planes. In a different class of high temperature superconductors the Josephson contacts are located between each of two single copper oxide planes. The electrical properties such as critical supercurrent density, capacitance and shunt resistance of the Josephson contacts are adjusted by controlled addition or controlled withdrawal of oxygen. Using stacks of such intrinsic Josephson contacts within a single-crystal, current-controllable high frequency generators, Josephson voltage normals and SQUIDS can be realized.
