Patent EP-1357433-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LEE HEON
IPC: H01L23/52
Filed: 2003-04-17
Abstract: A method for fabricating sub-lithographic sized line and space features is
disclosed. The method includes the use of conventional microelectronics processing
techniques such as photolithographic patterning and etching, polysilicon deposition,
polysilicon oxidation, polysilicon oxide etching, polysilicon wet and plasma etching, and
chemical mechanical planarization. Polysilicon line features 21 having a feature size that
is greater than or equal to a lithography limit λ are oxidized in a plasma that includes an
oxygen gas. The oxidation forms a sub-lithographic sized polysilicon core and an oxidized
polysilicon mantel  22  that includes portions along sidewall surfaces of the sub-lithographic
sized polysilicon core that also have a sub-lithographic feature size. After planarization
and a plasma etch that is selective to either the polysilicon or the oxidized polysilicon, a
plurality of sub-lithographic sized line  21  and space  20  patterns are formed. Those line
and space patterns  (21, 20)  can be used for an imprinting stamp for nano-imprint
lithography.

Abstract: In a process to reduce the quantity of foam, bulking or floating sludge in effluent water, sewage sludge or methane biogas generators, the fluid passes through a passage (2, 4) in which it is subjected to vigorous shear forces. The forces reduce the ratio of filament micro-organisms to flocculant-forming micro-organisms.  The shear forces are generated by turbulent flow arising in a constriction (3) which accelerates the flow speed, generating cavitation within the water. The constriction is a venturi tube which is adjustable for length and cross sectional area at its narrowest point. The Reynolds number of the fluid under treatment e.g. activated sludge is pref. at least 500,000. Also claimed is a commensurate assembly in which water is pumped through the passage (2, 3, 4).

Abstract: A sliding guide apparatus guides a movable member for a base. A pair of guide surfaces (3) is formed on the base (2). A pair of sliding surfaces is formed on the movable member as so to be opposed to the pair of guide surfaces, respectively. Lubricating oil is supplied between the guide surface and the sliding surface. The sliding surface is configured so that one half portion (12A) of the sliding surface which is close to the center of gravity of the movable member is asymmetric with the other half portion (12B) of the sliding surface which is far from the center of gravity of the movable member. Since load of the movable member that acts disproportionately on the sliding surface is balanced with dynamic pressure of the lubricating oil that occurs between the guide surface and the sliding surface, it is prevented that the movable member is slanted.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for coping with the difference of self-discharge between battery groups that form a battery assembly. According to the invention, a battery assembly that includes a plurality of battery groups and feeder is provided. Battery groups may include at least first and second battery groups and each battery group is defined by one or more cells. The feeder may feed electricity from the first battery group to the second battery group based on a difference in residual capacity caused by a difference of self-discharge amount between the first battery group and the second battery group. According to the invention, because difference in residual capacity between the respective battery groups can be balanced, even if the battery assembly is recharged in the state in which the battery groups have some residual capacities, overcharge and insufficient charge can be alleviated.

Abstract: In order to store data in disk drives securely in an environment with a mixture of disk drives having write protection mechanisms and disk drives without write protection mechanisms, a different write protection mechanism must be checked for each of the disk drives, and write protection must be defined for each of the disk drives storing data to be saved, which may impose a large load on system administrators. There is provided a storage controller for performing data input/output processing from a computer by managing volumes of multiple storage subsystems as external volumes and by using these external volumes as virtual volumes. In the data input/output processing, write protection is achieved based on an access attribute set for each of the virtual volumes. When an access attribute is set for a virtual volume, the same access attribute is set for an external volume corresponding to the virtual volume. Thus, the write protection is achieved for the external volume corresponding to the virtual volume.

Abstract: A drive power from an engine 1 is transferred to front wheel drive systems and rear wheel drive systems via a central differential 4. A torque distribution ratio between front and rear wheels defined by the central differential is set to one for the front wheels being made too much thereof, with a motor generator being coupled to the rear wheel drive systems. In response to detection signals from various sensors 41, 42, 43, 44 for detecting the running conditions, a drive power control unit 30 controls the additional torque from the motor generator toward the drive torque or regenerative braking torque side, thereby changing the torque distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels. Thus, a degree of flexibility in making a change in the torque distribution between front and rear wheels 9A, 9B, 15A, 15B or between right and left wheels is increased, thereby realizing an all-wheel drivable hybrid vehicle which provides further improved running performance.
