Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor
device manufacturing method for forming an interlayer
insulating film having a low dielectric constant by
coating a copper wiring. The semiconductor device
manufacturing method comprises the steps of preparing
a substrate 21 from a surface of which copper wirings
23 are exposed, and forming an interlayer insulating
film having a low dielectric constant on the substrate
21, wherein the interlayer insulating film is formed
of a multi-layered insulating film including a
insulating film 24 that contacts with the copper
wirings 23, and the insulating film 24 is formed by
plasmanizing a film forming gas containing an alkyl
compound having an Si-O-Si bond and one oxygen-containing
gas selected from the group consisting of
N 2 O, H 2 O, and CO 2 , whose flow rate is equal to or less
than a flow rate of the siloxane, to react mutually.

Abstract: The present invention stores data of the nearest
airport where an airplane can take off and land as well
as database of an ETOPS-applied time related to this
airplane beforehand. When a flight route is set, this
ETOPS-applied time is read out (step S1). An area
having a radius r calculated on the basis of the ETOPS-applied
time is defined to be a flight-permitted area.
With this, if a desired route entered by the operator
is outside this area, an operating port (11) calculates
a flight route that can be contained in the flight-permitted
area throughout the total flight.

Abstract: A battery separator, for placement between conductive plates (14, 16) within a battery, includes a non-woven fiber mat (12) made up of one or more nonwoven fibers (20), which have a specific cross-sectional shape and exhibit a microcapillary action. The fibers are preferred to be made of a thermoplastic selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, fluoropolymers, polyimides, polysulfones, polyesters, polyamides, and mixtures thereof. Each of the fibers includes an outer surface, a hollow internal cavity, and an extended slot. The hollow internal cavity communicates with the outer surface by way of the extended slot. Capillary forces within the fibers are greater than those on the fiber surface, such that a liquid electrolyte readily moves through the interior of the fiber via a wicking action. As a result, the battery separator tends to direct fluid to adjacent battery plates even when an electrolyte level, within the battery, drops below the tops of the plates.

Abstract: An information management system is described comprising one or more workstations running applications which allow a user of the workstation to connect to a network, such as the Internet. Each application has an analyser, which monitors transmission data that the application is about to transmit to the network or has just received from the network, and which determines an appropriate action to take regarding that data. The analyser may consult policy data containing a supervisor-defined policy to govern the workstations in order to determine what action to take. <??>Such actions may be extracting data from the transmission data, such as passwords and usernames, digital certificates or eCommerce transaction details for storage and record keeping; ensuring that the transmission data is transmitted at an encryption strength appropriate to the contents of the transmission data; determining whether a check needs to be made as to whether a digital certificate received in transmission data is valid; determining whether a transaction about to be made by a user of one of the workstations needs third party approval before it is made; and controlling the transmission of messages, such as e-mails according to a policy. <IMAGE>
