Abstract: Generally, the present invention utilizes dry plasma etching techniques such as Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) to produce sloped sidewalls on a DRAM storage cell. The rounded corners of the lower electrode made by this technique allow the advanced dielectric material to be deposited without substantial cracking, and it also allows the capacitance to be closely predicted and controlled due to the uniformity in which the advanced dielectric layer can be fabricated. One embodiment of the present invention is method of making a microelectronic structure comprising a supporting layer (e.g. Si substrate 30) having a principal surface, a lower electrode overlying the principal surface of the supporting layer, and a high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. BST 44) overlying the top surface of the lower electrode. The lower electrode comprises a barrier layer (e.g TiN 36), and an unreactive layer (e.g. Pt 42).

Abstract: The operational fitness of a vehicle-mounted magnetic sensor (90) for detecting buried magnets which identify zones of operation of the vehicle is tested by comparing the analog output (102) of the sensor with preestablished values when sensing buried magnets. The comparison is used to confirm operation of the sensor, the strength of the buried magnet, and the alignment of the sensor with respect to the magnet. A threshold detector (97) senses the output of the sensor to indicate when a magnetic field is detected, and the peak analog output of the sensor is stored and compared to a reference after the sensor passes the magnet.

Abstract: A spacecraft orientation procedure, in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, is practiced with a sun sensor to bring the x (roll) axis of the spacecraft parallel to a ray of the sun, and with a gyro sensor and an earth sensor of the spacecraft in conjunction with one instruction provided either autonomously or by a ground tracking station regarding an orientation of a spacecraft reference plane to enable locating the earth by the earth sensor. Furthermore, in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, the orientation is established without aid from the ground tracking station by use of at least one telemetry and command antenna having a continuous field of view, as measured in one plane, which is greater than a semicircle. In the second embodiment, the orientation procedure provides for rotation of the spacecraft about the x axis for a scanning of the antenna to intercept command signals broadcast from the earth, thereby to locate the earth in a first reference plane. Rotation about the y (pitch) axis enables measurement of command signal strength for location of the earth in a second reference plane perpendicular to the first reference plane. Gyrocompassing establishes yaw in both embodiments of the invention.

Abstract: In a new treatment method, cocoa mass is continuously refined. The mass is added continuously to a mixer with a small proportion of water. It is sterilised (4, 5), separated from acid and at least partially de-moisturised. It undergoes both thermal and de-aeration treatments in a thin film reactor. A significant new feature is the raising to sterilisation temperature exclusively through externally-supplied heat (7), transferred through the wall of the sterilisation unit. The mass is scraped off the inner surfaces of the heated wall continuously, using a slowly-moving scraper. It is blended slowly, transversely with respect to the long axis of the casing. Following discharge and de-pressurisation, the cocoa mass is transferred to thin-film refinement (10).
