Abstract: The peeling of a thin-film single-crystal from a
substrate is carried out in such a manner that the
directions of all straight lines made on the surface of
the thin-film single-crystal by appearance of planes
such as {111} on which the single-crystal is most apt
to cleave are different from the direction of the front
line of the peeled single-crystal. This thin-film
single-crystal is utilized to produce a solar cell and
a drive circuit member of an image display element.
Thus, a method is provided which prevents a decrease in
quality and yield of the single-crystal layer caused
during the peeling step in which the single-crystal
layer used for making a semiconductor device is peeled
from the substrate as a thin film. A solar cell module
with flexibility comprising a photovoltaic element
having a thin-film single-crystal as at least one
portion thereof is made in such a manner that the
direction in which the module is inherently apt to flex
is different from the direction in which the thin-film
single-crystal is most apt to cleave. Thus, provided
are a thin-film single-crystal solar cell module of
high quality, that is, a thin-film single-crystal solar
cell module excellent in durability and reliability,
because of no occurrence of defects and cracks in the
thin-film single-crystal during its production and use,
and a method of producing the same.

Abstract: A process for controlling a substrate processing operation such as a
plasma etch operation. One embodiment of the method of the present invention forms
a plasma within a substrate processing chamber to etch a wafer disposed within the
chamber. The plasma emission is used by the process as a broadband light source.
During the plasma etch process, a plurality of wavelengths of radiation reflected from
the surface of the wafer being etched are measured with a spectrometer. These
measurements are then compared using pattern recognition techniques to previous
measurements taken during a previous plasma etch operation. Certain embodiments of
the invention use principal component analysis (PCA) techniques to perform pattern
recognition while other embodiment use programmed neural net pattern recognition
techniques.

Abstract: A blind (10) including a head rail (12), and a plurality of slats
(14) suspended from the head rail (12) by means of tilt cables (18) and
the associated cross cords which together comprise the ladder tapes
(22). Two lift cords (16) extend through holes (17) in the slats (14)
and are fastened at the bottom of the bottom slat (or bottom rail)(14A),
which is heavier than the other slats (14), as is well known in the art.
Inside the head rail (12) are a coaxial coil spring motor module (20), a
transmission module (30), two lift and tilt modules (40), a tilt
mechanism module (50), and a tilt only module (60). There are several
ways the slats (14) may be tilted. This tilt mechanism module (50) pulls
on one side or the other of the ladder tapes (22) to rotate the slats
(14), as will be described later. Also housed in the head rail (12) are
a tilt rod (24), and a lift rod (26). The tilt only station (60)
provides additional support for the slats (14) so they will not sag. A
lift and tilt module (40) could be used instead of the tilt only station
(60) requiring additional force from the coil spring motor module (20)
to overcome the additional system inertia of the lift and tilt module
(40) as compared to that of the tilt only station (60).

Abstract: Each chip includes, in addition to a core logic, a
register such as a BSR. A TAPC for controlling the
register is provided only on a chip of the first stage,
and an test commands/data output and input signal lines
for the boundary scan test are connected to each other
via wire to form a loop. Other signal lines used in the
test are distributed from an output signal line of the
chip of the first stage. As a result, the test needs to
be carried out only once with a smaller number of pins
and the number of steps and area can be reduced in chips
not provided with TAPC. With this arrangement, in a
stacked device in which a plurality of chips are
integrally sealed, the boundary scan test only needs to
be carried out once with a smaller number of pins.

Abstract: A pattern transfer process in the manufacture of

formed on a semiconductor layer (102) to be etched are scanned
for generating a first amplitude modulated waveform
intensity signal (104). The first amplitude modulated
waveform intensity signal is sampled to extract a first
measurement population of critical dimension
measurements. The patterned features are etched and
then scanned for generating a second amplitude modulated
waveform intensity signal. The second amplitude
modulated waveform intensity signal is then sampled to
extract a second measurement population of critical
dimension measurements, which are then cross-correlated
to obtain correlation values of the etching process.

Abstract: A terrestrial repeater is disclosed for use in a satellite transmission system that
may also include a plurality of satellites. The terrestrial repeaters are implemented as
OFDM transmitters to minimize the channel impairments caused by multi-path
propagation. The OFDM terrestrial repeaters differentially encode the transmitted signal
over frequency, as opposed to time, in order to avoid channel phase distortion. The
OFDM receiver allocates two unmodulated sub-carriers as pilot bins and thereby
provides two sub-carriers as a reference within each OFDM symbol. At the OFDM
receiver, the two unmodulated pilot bins contain no phase information and provide a
reference for the differential demodulation performed by the OFDM receiver. The
OFDM transmitter operates in two modes, namely, a normal mode and a transmitter
identifier information (TII) mode. The TII mode contains all of the functions of the
normal mode, and also transmits a repeater identification signal with the customer data,
using the inactive OFDM sub-carriers (bins). In a normal mode, the OFDM transmitter
optionally fills unused (inactive) sub-carriers with zeroes and in a TII mode, the OFDM
transmitter uses at least some of the unused (inactive) sub-carriers to transmit the
transmitter identifier information (TII). The predefined TII value is mapped onto a set of
complex symbols. The TII signal facilitates the receiver test equipment in associating the
received signal with the terrestrial repeater(s) that generate the TII signal.

Abstract: A laser beams inspection apparatus suitable for inspecting
electronic components such as ICs mounted on a substrate. The
inspection apparatus includes a scan mechanism. The scan
mechanism works to move a laser beam emitted from a laser

orientation of emission of the laser beam to change the scan range

Abstract: By redistributing the running totals for various preliminary
classifications to other preliminary classifications based upon the values
of the most recent cardiac events, the present invention biases the
running totals (thereby biasing the duration criteria) to help overcome
common discrimination problems which permits the stimulation device to
make a correct and final therapy decision more quickly. To identify a
patient's heart rhythm, various electrical events such as P-waves and R-waves,
and their timing, relationship, and stability, are detected and a
preliminary classification is made for each detected event. Running totals
of the numbers of all events detected within each of the preliminary
classifications are maintained, along with sliding totals covering only the
most recently detected events. Then, the arrhythmia is identified based
upon an analysis of both the running totals and the sliding totals. In a
preferred embodiment, the arrhythmia is identified by first determining
whether the sliding total of the number of detected events in any one of
the preliminary classifications exceeds a corresponding sliding total
threshold. If so, the running totals are then selectively redistributed
based upon the sliding totals. The final decision is then made based
upon whether the running total corresponding to any one of the
preliminary classifications exceeds a corresponding running total
threshold. Both method and apparatus embodiments are disclosed.
Methods are further described for determining the preliminary
classifications of the detected events.
