Patent EP-0987744-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BOGGS KARL E
IPC: B24B37/013
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: The method of polishing metal layers on wafers comprises the steps of:
using a chemical-mechanical polisher (50) to polish the metal layers (32)
to remove material therefrom, inspecting indicator areas on the wafer to
determine an amount of material removed from said areas (80), and
adjusting the operation of the chemical-mechanical polisher (50) in
response to the inspection of the indicator areas (80). The indicator
areas (80) may include macroblocks comprised of a multitude of individual
blocks (82). The wafer may be inspected by optically identifying the
polishing state of the blocks (82) in the macroblock (80). Additionally,
the process may be automated for mass production. A feedback loop to the
polisher can be formed where data from optical inspection of macroblocks
on a polished wafer can be immediately fed back to the polisher in order
to adjust process parameters.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for extracting a low jitter power
detect (PD) signal appropriate for burst data transmission systems. The method is operative
in a detector structure which is essentially characterised by a sophisticated thresholding
logic producing the PD signal based on the value of a measured power signal and an
approximation to the derivative of this signal. An extension of this structure incorporates
information of data burst length and guard time in a frame control logic implementing a
binary filtering on the PD and controlling the threshold values. A variation of the frame
control logic exchanges simple messages with a collision control logic reducing drastically
the number of wasted data bursts in communication systems employing asynchronous
random access protocols. The invention more particularly applies to wireline and wireless
TDMA access systems, to satellite links, and to mobile radio and optical communications.

Abstract: The invention consists of a dehydrated culture medium for detection of
 Streptococcus agalactiae  based on pigment detection which requires merely the
addition of water and then shaking to make it ready for use. The culture medium
when rehydrated turns into a semisolid gel that allows the growth of  S.agalactiae 
inside the medium as orange or red colonies allowing its easy detection. 
     The new instant medium comprises a dehydrated culture medium plus a
getting agent e.g. Sephadex 200. When the user adds water a room temperature
and shake a gel is form immediately and the medium is ready to use.
 Streptococcus agalactiae  grows in this medium as pigmented colonies allowing
for easy detection. The rehydrated medium is thick enough to allow the bacteria
not to sediment and the gelling process is quick enough to trap air bubbles during
the shaking. These trapped air bubbles remain inside the medium during the
incubation time creating interfacial environments where  S.agalactiae  grows as
strongly pigmented colonies.

Abstract: To prevent the deterioration in sensitivity of the
photocathode (20) of an electron tube and maintain stable
output for a long time, an ion confining electrode (22) and
an ion trap electrode (23) are provided between the
photocathode (20) and a first stage dynode (24a). The
potential of the ion confining electrode (22) is set higher
than that of the first stage dynode (24a), while the
potential of the ion trap electrode (23) is set equal to or
higher than that of the photocathode (20) and lower than
that of the first stage dynode 24a. Since the feedback to
the photocathode (20) of the positive ions generated in the
vicinity of the first stage dynode can be effectively
suppressed, the sensitivity of the photocathode (20) is
prevented from decreasing, and stable output is maintained
for a long time.

Abstract: The cardiac ejection fraction EF is estimated based on the parameters of a model of an indicator (such as thermal) dilution through the heart. A channel model is defined by an upstream indicator injector, such as a heater, positioned preferably in the right atrium/ventricle and a downstream indicator concentration sensor, such as a thermistor. The preferred model is a lagged normal transfer function, which has as one of its output parameters the indicator decay constant  tau  of the blood channel. The heart rate HR is also measured. The ejection fraction EF is then calculated continuously as EF=1-exp(-60/( tau *HR)). The cardiac output CO is also estimated in the model, preferably based on an estimate of the zero-frequency gain of the lagged normal transfer function. End diastolic volume EDV is then also calculated continuously as a function of CO, HR and EF. In applications where the step response of the indicator concentration sensor is slow relative to the indicator decay, the transfer function Hs of the sensor is determined ahead of time. Parameters characterizing Hs are then stored in a memory device and the measured transfer function data is scaled by Hs prior to modelling to provide the most accurate EF estimate.

hydroxide together with alkali metal formate and/or alkaline earth metal
formate to activated carbon. By exposing exhaust gases to the cleaning agent,
noxious halogen-based gases in the exhaust gases are efficiently removed with
little desorption of halogen-based gases adsorbed on the cleaning agent. Also,
the cleaning treatment is further improved in safety and efficiency by a pre-treatment
cleaning agent comprising a metal oxide or a metal hydroxide and a
post-treatment cleaning agent prepared by adherently adding sodium formate
