Abstract: A method for forming a copper interconnect (54)
begins by depositing a barrier layer (48). An
intermediate layer (50) is formed over the barrier
layer (48) by exposing the barrier layer (48) to a
plasma silane environment. The layer (50) is
conductive when deposited so that contact resistance
is not affected. The layer(50) is insitu covered with a
copper seed layer (52). The layer (52) is not formed in
an edge exclusion region (20) thereby exposing a
portion (50a) of the layer (50). This portion (50a) will
natively oxidize in a room ambient to form a copper
electroplating prevention barrier whereby copper will
not electroplate in the region (20). Therefore, the
region (50a) prevents barrier-to-copper interfaces to
avoid delamination of the copper while preserving the
edge exclusion region desired for copper
electroplating.

Abstract: In a recording mode, when an image pickup is
indicated by the depression of a shutter key (5), at
first, a preview image is generated by thinning out the
picked-up image. Then, the preview image is compressed
by using a fixed compression parameter by a JPEG
circuit (42). The image is recorded in a preview
image area (40a) of a flash memory (40), and at the
same time, a compression factor (compression size)
for the compression of the preview image is stored
temporarily. Next, a main image is compressed by using
a compression parameter determined based on the stored
compression factor in the JPEG circuit (42). This main
image is recorded in a main image area (40b) of the
flash memory (40).

are grinding powder of a workpiece and loosed-off abrasive grains effectively
removed to prevent those from being loaded between the drill and the
workpiece, but neither of cracking and chipping occur when the drill passes

Inventor: DE VRIES BERNHARD
IPC: A61N1/368
Filed: 1999-09-28
Abstract: There is provided a pacemaker system with an SRD detection and
intervention feature, which enables a simple way of initiating confirmation of SRD, i.e.,
looking for an AS/AP transition in a DDD or DDI pacemaker, or a transition from a VS to
a VP in a DDI pacemaker. This simple initiation of SRD confirmation is made possible
by use of a relatively wide hysteresis band which is normally operative when a
spontaneous rate is present, and which tracks physiological changes in the patient's natural
rate, across the pacemaker rate range. Transitions which result from a gradual decrease in
natural rate and thus represent physiological bradycardia are not interpreted as suggesting
SRD. The detection is confirmed only after a predetermined number of pace pulses are
delivered at the hysteresis rate, i.e., 1-5 pulses. In a preferred embodiment, after
confirmation of SRD, pacing starts at a programmable intervention rate, and rate
flywheels downward toward a lower rate limit, with intermittent hysteresis scans at a
lower rate to enable recovery of an underlying natural rate. The SRD mode is left
whenever recovery of a natural rate is confirmed, as by sensing a predetermined number
of consecutive natural atrial beats in DDD mode or atrial and/or ventricular beats in DDI
mode.

Abstract: Past pistons have been susceptible to
reduced longevity due to increased forces of
combustion thereon during operating cycles of an
engine. The present two piece unitary piston (30)
increases the longevity of pistons used with increased
forces of combustion. For example, a head member (42)
has a crown portion (50) defining a ring band portion
(56) having a bottom surface (58) and a support
portion (80). And, a skirt member (44) defines a ring
band support surface (124) and a top surface (114).
The head member (42) and the skirt member (44) have a
preestablished material strength being generally the
same. The head member (42) and the skirt member (44)
are joined by an inertia welding process. The force
of combustion acting on the crown portion (50) is
resisted by the ring band support surface (124) being
in contacting relationship with the bottom surface
(58). Thus, the skirt member (44) structure supports
and resists the bending moment of the combustion
forces on the head member (42).

media, a manifold for dispersing the water from the reservoir above the media, a
manifold flow line extending from the reservoir to the manifold, a collector for
collecting the water below the media, and a pump for pumping the water through the
manifold flow line from the reservoir to the manifold. The evaporative cooler also
includes a return line for returning the water from the collector to the reservoir, at
least one water supply line for supplying the water to the reservoir, and a valve
structure for controlling flow through the at least one water supply line. The

surface of the water within the reservoir is: (1) above or below a first water line; and
(2) above or below a second water line positioned below the first water line. A
controller interfaces with the valve structure and the level sensor. The controller
causes the valve structure to: (1) start water flow to the reservoir at a first flow rate
when the top surface of the water falls below the first water line; and (2) increase
water flow to the reservoir from the first flow rate to a higher second flow rate when
the top surface of the water falls below the second water line.

Abstract: A method of compensating the polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) of an
optical transmission path (12) carrying clocked digital data traffic involves
modulating the state of polarisation (SOP) of the light launched into the
transmission path, and employing consequential frequency components in
an electrical signal detected at the far end of the transmission path to
regulate the birefringence of a polarisation state controller portion (30) of a
birefringent element inserted between the transmission path and the
receiver's photodetector. The SOP modulation, when represented on a
Poincaré sphere (40, 50), has an oscillatory rotational component (42) at a
frequency f 1  about a first axis of the sphere and an oscillatory rotational
component (43) at a frequency f 2  about a second axis of the sphere that is
orthogonal to said first axis, and where f 1  ≠ f 2 , f 1  ≠ 2f 2 , and f 2  ≠ 2f 1 .
