Patent EP-0570005-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEE HARRY W JR
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1993-05-14
Abstract: A multi-station machine (10) for necking-in the open end of a metal container body (C) includes a plurality of necking spindle assemblies (18) mounted at circumferentially spaced locations on a tooling disc turret (12) in coaxial alignment with corresponding base pad spindle assemblies (20) mounted to a base pad turret (14). The turrets are co-rotatable with a main turret shaft (16). Cam controlled tooling activating assemblies (200) are mounted on the tooling disc turret (12) to control the necking-in movement of an eccentric roll (88) and an external forming roll (40) in each necking spindles in synchronism with delivery of vacuum suction through the base pad spindles which clamps the container bottom walls to the respective base pads. A sequential latching arrangement associate with the tooling activating assemblies prevents tool-to-tool contact between the outer forming rolls with the eccentric rolls in the absence of container bodies on station. The vacuum manifold arrangement feature the supply of high volume, low suction vacuum to a small number of stations in the vicinity of the infeed location to rapidly locate the container bodies on the base pads. A low volume, high suction vacuum supply to the downstream spindles ensures proper clamping suction to properly maintain the containers on the base pads during necking. In the absence of containers at various stations, the high volume, low suction vacuum is subject to leakage only at a small number of stations at the infeed while vacuum leakage in the remainder of the stations is insufficient to lower clamping pressure to unacceptable levels.

Abstract: An Al layer of wiring material is etched using an alkaline aqueous solution. There are provided a method for producing a thin film resistor, in which only the Al layer can be selectively etched independent of a resistor layer using the alkaline aqueous solution, an anti-sticking means for film-forming apparatus having the structure which can prevent a drop in yield due to particles, even with less frequency of cleaning for a film-forming chamber, and a film-forming apparatus provided with the anti-sticking means. When the wiring electrode layer mainly containing Al is etched by the alkaline aqueous solution, only the Al layer can be selectively etched without etching the resistor layer, which can reduce a change in resistance of resistor, improve the yield and the productivity, and raise the reliability of the thin film resistor. 
     Also, when the anti-sticking means having a tongued-and-grooved surface is set in the film-forming chamber of the film-forming apparatus, the film-forming material is deposited in a discontinuous manner on the anti-sticking means, which can delay the time of film exfoliation, in turn extend the cycle of cleaning for the anti-sticking plate, and prevent the drop in yield due to the film exfoliation.

Abstract: A plasma etch process is described for the etching of oxide (30) with a high selectivity to nitride, including nitride (20) formed on uneven surfaces of a substrate (2), e.g., on sidewalls of steps (10, 12) on an integrated circuit structure. The addition of one or more hydrogen-containing gases, preferably one or more hydrofluorocarbon gases, to one or more fluorine-substituted hydrocarbon etch gases and a scavenger for fluorine, in a plasma etch process for etching oxide in preference to nitride, results in a high selectivity to nitride which is preserved regardless of the topography of the nitride portions (22, 26) of the substrate surface. In a preferred embodiment, one or more oxygen-bearing gases are also added to reduce the overall rate of polymer deposition on the chamber surfaces and on the surfaces to be etched, which can otherwise reduce the etch rate and cause excessive polymer deposition on the chamber surfaces. The fluorine scavenger is preferably an electrically grounded silicon electrode associated with the plasma.

Abstract: A system and method for performing efficient clipping to visible windows. A window clip buffer is established for each window being written directly to the front frame buffer. The window clip buffer is initialized as having the same dimensions as the window itself and each pixel position is initially set to False (not visible.) The visible regions are determined and the buffer updated to True (visible) for those visible regions. As each pixel is being drawn the window clip buffer is tested. The pixel is drawn to the frame buffer only where the window clip buffer pixel is true (visible.) Changes to window positions on the screen causes the visible regions to be updated.

Abstract: A maximum likelihood sequence estimator (100) implemented to cope with an intersymbol interference from a single symbol employs a necessary channel impulse response estimation vector (H) of two components (H(0), H(1)) for a decision to estimate a maximum likelihood sequence. A channel impulse response estimator (101) implemented to estimate a channel impulse response in consideration of intersymbol interferences from up to two symbols outputs a channel impulse response estimation vector (h) of three components (h(0), h(1), h(2)). The three-component vector (h) is input to a converter (102), where it is converted into the two-component vector (H) to be output to the maximum likelihood sequence estimator (100).

Abstract: An analog-digital converter comprises a Δ Σ modulator (11), a digital filter (15), a high-pass filter (16) and a multiplier (17) which are connected in series. Analog input is converted into serial-bit strings by the Δ Σ modulator, for which gain '1/A' is set. The digital filter extracts low-frequency components, corresponding to the analog input, from the serial-bit strings, so the low-frequency components are converted into parallel-bit digital data. The high-pass filter removes DC offset component from output of the digital filter; and then, output thereof is multiplied by scaling gain 'A' by the multiplier so that digital output is produced. The Δ Σ modulator comprises at least three switched-capacitor integrators and a one-bit quantizer, which are connected in series, as well as a one-sample delay circuit. One-bit output, produced by the one-bit quantizer, is delayed by the one-sample delay circuit, whose output is delivered to each switched-capacitor integrator. Each switched-capacitor integrator is configured using a CMOS differential amplifier which is configured by a CMOS operational amplifier (120) and at least one amplitude-limiting circuit (121,122). The amplitude-limiting circuit is configured by two PMOS transistors (Qp11,Qp14,Qp29,Qp24) and two NMOS transistors (Qn12,Qn13,Qn23,Qn22) which are connected in parallel in a diode-connection manner; and this circuit is provided to limit amplitude in output of the CMOS differential amplifier by stabilizing its operating point.
