Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the endpoint of CMP processing on semiconductor wafer in which a lower layer of material with a first reflectivity is positioned under an upper layer of material with a second reflectivity. Initially an endpoint site is selected on the wafer in a critical area where a boundary between the upper and lower layers defines the desired endpoint of the CMP process. The critical area on the wafer is generally determined by analyzing in the circuit design and the polishing characteristics of previously polished test wafers to denote the last points on the wafer from which the upper layer is desirably removed by CMP processing. After an endpoint site is selected, a light beam impinges the polished surface of the wafer and reflects off of the surface of the wafer to a photo-sensor. The photosensor senses the actual intensity of the reflected light beam. The actual intensity of the reflected light beam is compared with an expected intensity to determine whether the upper layer has been adequately removed from the endpoint site. The actual intensity is preferably compared with an expected intensity for light reflected from one of the upper or lower layers, and the endpoint is preferably detected when the actual intensity of the reflected light beam is either substantially the same as the expected intensity for light reflected from the lower layer or substantially different from the expected intensity for light reflected from the upper layer.

Abstract: A portion of the global memory of a multiprocessing computer system is allocated to each node, called local memory space. Data from a remote node may be copied to the local memory space of a node such that accesses to the data may be performed locally rather than globally. The global address of the data is translated to a local physical address for the node to which the data is copied. Multiple page of local memory space may be allocated to one entry of a local physical address to global address (LPA2GA) table. When a page is allocated to store shadow pages, an entry in the LPA2GA table associated with that page is marked as unavailable. Accordingly, new translations may not be stored to that entry of the LPA2GA table and other pages associated with that entry may not be allocated to store shadow pages. In a similar manner, multiple pages of the global address space are mapped to an entry in a global address to local physical address(GA2LPA) translation table. When data corresponding to a page within the global address space is stored as a shadow page, the entry associated with the global address is marked as unavailable. Accordingly, other pages associated with that entry of the GA2LPA table may not be stored as shadow pages because the entry is not available. The local copy of the data is not stored and the node must access the data globally.

Abstract: System and method for examining a file (1) associated with a digital computer (2) to determine whether a computer virus is present within the file (1). The file (1) contains at least one numbered sector. When the file (1) is examined for an initial time, the file (1) is scanned by an antivirus module (3, 5). At that time, the numbers of the sectors being scanned and a hash value for each scanned sector are stored into a critical sector file (4). The hash values can be calculated by an antivirus accelerator module (5). When the file (1) is examined a subsequent time, all of the file (1) sectors that were scanned the initial time are examined by the antivirus accelerator module (5). Each of these sectors again has its hash value calculated and compared with the hash value of the corresponding sector as stored within the critical sector file (4). When any calculated hash value fails to match a corresponding stored hash value for any sector, the antivirus scan module (3) is commanded to rescan the entire file (1)

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for facilitating the respiration of a patient (36) are disclosed which are particularly useful in treating mixed and obstructive sleep apnea and certain cardiovascular conditions, among others, by increasing nasal air pressure delivered to the patient's respiratory passages just prior to inhalation and by subsequently decreasing the pressure to ease exhalation effort. The preferred apparatus (10) includes a patient-coupled gas delivery device for pressurizing the patient's nasal passages at a controllable pressure, and a controller coupled with the delivery device having a pressure transducer for monitoring the nasal pressure and a microcontroller (20) for selectively controlling the nasal pressure. In operation, the controller (20) determines a point in the patient breathing cycle just prior to inhalation and initiates an increase in nasal pressure at that point in order to stimulate normal inhalation, and subsequently lowers the nasal pressure to ease exhalation efforts.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, les informations d'état sont transmises entre un agent (AG) d'un niveau de gestion (B, C) et au moins un gestionnaire (MA1, MA2) d'un niveau de gestion (A, B) immédiatement supérieur. Un message d'exigence (staAS) pour l'exécution de l'alignement d'informations est envoyé par le gestionnaire (MA1, MA2) à l'agent (AG). Ce dernier contrôle si les informations d'état s'écartent de l'état normal et envoie au gestionnaire (MA1, MA2) des modifications des informations d'état dans un ou plusieurs messages successifs (staCN). L'alignement d'informations s'effectue uniquement en présence d'informations d'état modifiées, de sorte que les écarts par rapport à l'état normal sont communiqués au gestionnaire. Par conséquent, le gestionnaire ne reçoit pas automatiquement toutes les informations d'état, qu'elles aient été modifiées ou non. Il en résulte un flux d'informations réduit entre l'agent et le gestionnaire, ce qui constitue un gain considérable du côté du gestionnaire notamment lorsqu'une pluralité d'objets sont gérés.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et une composition non polluants destinés à l'extraction d'hydrogène sulfuré à partir de liquides présentant un pH élevé. Lesdits procédé et composition sont notamment adaptés à l'extraction d'hydrogène sulfuré à partir de liquides de forage utilisés dans des trous de forage creusés dans des formations sous-terraines contenant des hydrocarbures, et peuvent être utilisés avec n'importe quel liquide de forage, par exemple avec des liquides de forage polymériques. L'agent de piégeage de sulfure utilisé dans ce procédé et dans cette composition est un gluconate ferreux, un agent chélateur de fer organique stable à un pH de 11,5, valeur optimale pour les liquides de forage susceptibles d'entrer en contact avec de l'hydrogène sulfuré. Par ailleurs, on a découvert que cet additif augmente la résistance des propriétés rhéologiques des liquides de forage au laminage à température élevée et aux conditions naturelles analogues.

Abstract: A trench-Hall device sensitive to magnetic inductions parallel to the chip surface is reported. The vertically oriented active region (20) is defined by two parallel trenches (23.1 and 23.2) with a distance of e.g. only 2.4  mu m and being filled with a dielectric material, e.g. polysilicon. Contact pillars (24.1 and 24.2) contact the active region of the device in a buried area at a depth of e.g. 20  mu m. These deep contacts allow symmetrical operation of the active region analogous to a lateral symmetrical Hall plate, which symmetrical operation is favorable for dynamic offset reduction. The Hall device can be produced with known technologies and it shows a sensitivity of 320 V/AT with a non-linearity below 0.1 %. The proposed manufacturing process enables the electrically insulated co-integration of sensor and circuitry on a single CMOS chip.
