Patent EP-1309000-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAMMERT MICHAEL D
IPC: H01L23/522
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: A method for forming relatively small vias in polymers which may have an underlying,
dielectric layer, for example, silicon dioxide or silicon nitride layer is disclosed. Two
embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In a first embodiment (FIGS. 1-15), plated pillars
(34, 36) are formed on a plated bottom metal layer (26). A polymer (40) is then coated over the
first metal layer (26) and the plated pillars (34, 36) and cured. The polymer (40) is blanket
etched to expose the top surface of the plated pillars (34, 36). A metal layer (44) is formed on
top of the polymer layer (44) and exposed surfaces of the plated pillars (34, 36). In a second
embodiment of the invention (FIGS. 6-10), pillars (56, 58)made from a photoresist are formed
over a bottom metal layer (52). After the photoresist pillars (56, 58) are formed, a polymer layer
(60) is coated over the pillars (56, 58) and the bottom metal layer (52) and blanket etched to the
surface of the photoresist pillars (56, 58). The photoresist pillars (56, 58) are then removed, for
example, by O 2  plasma, forming vias. A top metal layer (60) is formed on top of the polymer
coating (60) in the vias to connect to the bottom metal layer (52). Both methods in accordance
with the present invention provide relatively small vias in polymers and are compatible with
semiconductors which include an underlying dielectric layer, such as a silicon dioxide or silicon
nitride layer, under the polymer.

Title: Appareil et procede de caracterisation adaptive de signaux et reduction de bruit dans les protheses auditives et d'autres dispositifs auditifs
Inventor: LUO HENRY
IPC: H04R5/04
Filed: 2002-03-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de caractériser les contenus d'un signal audio d'entrée et de supprimer les composantes de bruit dudit signal. Le signal audio est divisé en plusieurs signaux d'entrée à domaine de fréquence. Chaque signal d'entrée à domaine de fréquence peut être traité séparément pour déterminer son changement d'intensité, sa fréquence de modulation et des caractéristiques de durée pour caractériser le signal d'entrée à domaine de fréquence comme contenant un signal souhaitable ou comme un type de bruit. Un signal d'indice est calculé sur la base d'une combinaison des caractéristiques déterminées, et les signaux identifiés comme du bruit sont supprimés contrairement aux signaux identifiés comme souhaitables pour produire un ensemble de signaux de sortie à domaine de fréquence présentant un moindre bruit. Les signaux de sortie à domaine de fréquence sont combinés pour fournir un signal audio de sortie correspondant au signal audio d'entrée mais présentant des composantes de bruit supprimées et des composantes de signaux souhaitables comparativement améliorées.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte au contrôle, fondé sur une réaction PCR, de micro-organismes dans des systèmes de traitement biologique des eaux usées. Elle concerne en particulier la mesure à la fois de l'abondance et de l'expression de gènes indicateurs/effecteurs ou de combinaisons géniques, l'expression d'un gène 'effecteur' étant corrélée à l'activité de dégradation d'un échantillon microbien particulier et l'abondance d'un gène 'indicateur' étant corrélée à l'abondance du microbe. L'expression d'un gène effecteur est mesurée par une réaction RT-PCR quantitative et compétitive, et l'abondance d'un gène indicateur est mesurée par une réaction PCR quantitative et compétitive. Les gènes indicateurs et effecteurs peuvent être identiques ou différents. Dans un mode de réalisation, les gènes indicateurs et effecteurs sont des séquences issues du gène de la glyphosate oxydoréductase (gox) et les techniques quantitatives mises en oeuvre sont une réaction PCR compétitive quantitative et une réaction RT-PCR compétitive quantitative.

Abstract: Users and devices in a peer-to-peer collaboration system can join a management domain in which members are administered as a group by a centralized management server operated by an enterprise. In response to a administrator request to join the management domain, the user downloads an injectible identity file containing a definition of the managed user/device into the user system. The user then joins the managed domain by associating the injected identity with their actual identity. Once a user or device is part of a management domain, that user or device receives license rights and policy restrictions that are associated with the domain. In return, the management server interacts with the individual peer-to-peer collaboration systems to enable the enterprise to monitor the  enterprise to monitor the usage of, and control the behavior of, that specific identity within the peer-to-peer collaboration system.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention enhances the
stability of paper material identification of sheets.
To achieve the above purpose, both short-wavelength light
in the range of 370 nm and long-wavelength light in the
range of 420 to 1000 nm are irradiated to paper to be
identified in identifying the paper material.. The
identification is carried out, based on the difference
in absorbance of the paper, which is obtained for each
irradiated light. The absorbance of the paper varies
according to the paper material, thereby enabling the
identification of the paper material free from influence,
which are caused by differences in manufacturing process,
such as shading patterns. In addition, the simultaneous
use of the short-wavelength light and the long-wavelength
light declines influence on the absorbance, which are
caused by environmental factors, such as humidity and
deterioration of sheets, thereby resulting in stable
identification of the paper material.

Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus is provided
which is designed to record and reproduce digital information
signals on and from a magnetic tape at a reduced error rate in a long
play mode. When the long play mode is entered, the travel speed of
the magnetic tape is changed to 1/(2n) (n = a natural number) times
that in a normal play mode, and the rotational speed of a rotary
drum is changed to (2n + 1) / (2n) times that in the normal play
mode. Tracks are written on the magnetic tape with alternate
helical scans of a pair of rotary heads, one every (2n + 1) / 2
rotations of the rotary drum to record the digital information signals
on the tracks. In an alternative form of the invention, digital
information signals are recorded on the magnetic tape in the long
play mode using a third rotary head and one of the pair of the rotary
heads. The third rotary head is mounted on the rotary drum at a
given angular interval away from the one of the pair of the rotary
heads in a height relation which allows tracks to be written on the
magnetic tape in the long play mode at the same track pitch as that
in the normal play mode.
