Abstract: A method for fabricating polycrystalline silicon resistor structures includes steps directed to the provision of a polycrystalline silicon structure having a decreased width. In one embodiment, sidewall spacers are used to narrow a region in which the polycrystalline silicon resistors are formed. In an alternative embodiment, polycrystalline silicon resistors are formed as sidewall structures in a resistor region. Use of either technique provides a reduced cross-section for the resistor structures, allowing shorter resistors to be used, or providing increased resistance for longer resistors.

Abstract: Data bases of primary and secondary slave IOPs are synchronized by transmitting a message addressed to the first IOP by the master controller, receipt being acknowledged. The second IOP eavesdrops on the transmissions between the master controller and any of the IOPs on the network. Upon recognizing the message addressed to the first IOP and that the message is of a predetermined type, the second IOP receives the message for subsequent execution, verifies the message number in the acknowledge message,and completes execution of the received message, resulting in an update of the respective data bases.

Abstract: The panel-like element is used in particular for sound-absorbing arrangements. It has, starting from both the main surfaces (2, 7), cutouts (4, 8) which meet in the interior of the element (1) and partially overlap one another. At the same time, the cutouts (4) of one element side and those (8) of the other element side (7) have different shapes in such a manner that the cutouts (4, 8) establish passages (9) through the element (1). The cutouts (8) of the absorber side (7) are arranged in rows and the rows in a grid shape. One element side (7) is provided with bores (8) and the other (2) with grooves (4). At the same time, the bores (8) are arranged in rows which are parallel to and open into the grooves (4). This panel-like element can thus very easily be alternatively designed according to the specific function or circumstances by changing the ruling parameters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the automatic generation of numerical control (NC) tool paths in a CAD/CAM environment. The present invention operates on mechanical parts described as solid models. The process employs well-defined solid models of the part to be machined and the raw stock from which it will be machined. The volumetric difference between the stock and the part defines the material (delta volumes) that must be cut away during the actual machining process. Delta volumes are solid models, and users (or an expert system) can subdivide delta volumes into smaller volumes that are consistent with a manufacturing process plan. A delta volume and a user-defined strategy for machining the delta volume are then input to NC algorithms. The algorithms generate NC tool paths that remove as much delta volume material as possible. Tool volumes are automatically generated from NC tool paths to represent the volume traversed by the cutting tool. By subtracting the tool volume from the delta volume, the material that remains to be machined is modeled and stored as new delta volumes. The subtraction of the tool volume from the stock defines a new stock model that represents the incremental change in stock when the NC tool path is processed at the machine tool. The process is repeated until all delta volumes have been machined and the part has been manufactured.

Abstract: A Si single crystal thin film is classified according to thickness into several areas such that the areas where the thin film, is thicker is made oxide layer-free and the areas where the thin film is thinner is covered with oxide layer. Then, oxidation is conducted so that the thicker the thin film the lower the Si interface becomes, utilizing the different growth rates of the oxide layer in these areas. The thin film surface with a resulting staircase configuration is then leveled by the subsequent polishing treatment. In other method, oxide layer is formed in such way that the areas with a thicker thin film thickness will have a thinner oxide layer and the areas with a thinner thin film thickness will have a thicker oxide layer, and oxidation is conducted such that the thicker the thin film the lower the Si interface becomes.

Abstract: An array processing system including a plurality of processing elements each including a processor (22A) and an associated memory module (23A), the system further including a router network (30) over which each processing element can transfer messages to other random processing elements, a mechanism by which a processor can transmit data to one of four nearest-neighbour processors. In addition, the processing elements are divided into groups each with four processing elements, in which one of the processing elements can access data in the other processing elements' memory modules. The routing network switches messages in a plurality of switching stages, with each stage connecting to the next stage through communications paths that are divided into groups, each group, in turn being associated with selected address signals. A communications path continuity test circuit associated with each path detects any discontinuity in the communications path and disables the path. Thus, the stage may attempt to transfer a message over another path associated with the same address.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of refinery oily sludges to produce an oily fraction that is reprocessed in the refinery into (i) salable products and (ii) a solid residue meeting environmental regulatory agency requirements for disposal in non-hazardous solid waste landfills. The process includes mixing the refinery oily sludge with a particulate filter aid and preferably a single solvent selected from refinery intermediate and product streams and contacting this mixture with plate filters in a closed filter vessel. A cake residue forms on the filter plates and a filtrate mixture of oil, water and solvent is produced. The filtrate is separated into an oily fraction and a water fraction. The oily fraction is rerouted to refinery operating units for processing into salable products. The water fraction is routed to a refinery water treatment system. When filter cake residue has built to a predetermined level, charge to the filter vessel is discontinued. The filter cake residue is washed with a predetermined quantity of solvent and then steam stripped to remove petroleum hydrocarbons to a desired residual level, e.g. less than about 1,000 ppm or less than 500 ppm. The steam stripped filter cake is then removed from the filter vessel for disposal in an environmentally approved landfill.

Abstract: A leaf plate (7) is disposed in abutment, through a guide path (33) of printing paper (P), with a feed roller (6) whose peripheral surface is in contact with the guide path (33). The printing paper is transported by the feed roller rotationally driven while the printing paper is pressed against the feed roller by the leaf plate (7). In the course of transportation of the printing paper (P), the printing paper (P) fed by the feed roller is guided along a flat paper guide surface (8), and printing is performed by having ink jetted from a nose portion (4) of an ink jet head (3) to the printing paper (P) being guided as described above. Immediately before the printing position in the guide path (33), there are disposed a plurality of projections (11,12,15) in contact with the guide path (33) and at predetermined intervals in the direction transverse to the printing paper (P). By bringing the transported printing paper into contact with the projections (11,12,15), the amplitude of undulations continuously produced in the printing paper (P) in the direction transverse to the paper is reduced. Thus, the distance between the nose portion (4) of the ink jet head (3) and the printing paper (P) in the printing position is made uniform and the quality of printing is improved.
