Title: Manufacturing a thin film by atomic layer deposition
Inventor: KIM YEONG-KWAN
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a thin film a first reactant 11 is chemically absorbed on a substrate 3 by injecting the first reactant 11 into a chamber which the substrate is loaded. A physisorbed first reactant on the chemically absorbed first reactant is removed by purging or pumping the chamber. After the first reactant is densely chemically absorbed on the substrate by injecting the first reactant 11 into the chamber, the physisorbed first reactant on the dense chemisorbed first reactant is removed by purging or pumping the chamber. A second reactant 17 is chemically absorbed into the surface of the substrate by injecting the second reactant into the chamber. A physisorbed the second reactant on dense chemisorbed first reactant and the second reactant is removed by purging or pumping the chamber. A solid thin film is formed using a chemical exchange through densely absorbing the second reactant 17 on the substrate by again injecting the second reactant into the chamber. In this manner it is possible to obtain a precise stoichiometric thin film having a high film density, since the first reactant and the second reactant are densely absorbed and the impurities are completely removed by pumping or purging. The first and second reactants in a specific embodiment are respectively Al(CH<SB>3</SB>)<SB>3</SB> and water vapour. A whole range of films of elements, oxides or nitrides may be joined by this technique.

Title: Method of and apparatus for multiplexing signals of different light wavelengths using optical fibres
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1982-11-02
Abstract: A passive, frequency selective, fiber optic multiplexer, comprises a directional coupler in which a pair of single mode optical fibers are accurately positioned to provide evanescent field coupling, typically by polishing a portion of the cladding from each of said fibers to place the respective cores of said fibers within the evanescent field of light in the other fiber. The coupling efficiency of a coupler constructed in this manner is wavelength dependent, and provides over-coupling, that is, the capability of transferring light, virtually entirely, back and forth between the fibers within the coupler. The wavelength dependent nature of the evanescent field coupling permits multiplexing, specifically between a pair of wavelengths, one of which is coupled in its entirety from a first fiber to a second fiber, and the other of which is essentially uncoupled. By increasing the number of total transfers of the light signals between the pair of fibers, the frequency resolution of the multiplexer may be optimized for light signals of virtually any frequency separation.

Title: Scavenging device for rotary piston engine
Inventor: OKIMOTO HARUO
IPC: F02B53/04
Filed: 1980-01-30
Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve the scavenging of residual exhaust gas to heighten the output of an engine, by providing a communication passage, one end of which is opened on the inside surface of a casing between an exhaust port and an intake port and the other ends of which are opened in positions different from each other as to the direction of flow in an exhaust passage.  
     CONSTITUTION: A scavenging device is provided with a communication passage 12 which is fitted with a change-over valve 15 and one end of which is opened on the inside surface of a casing 1 between an exhaust port 7 and an intake port 10 and the other ends of which are opened in positions different from each other as to the direction of flow in an exhaust passage 9. The change-over valve 15 responsive to the rotational frequency of an engine is operated to select one of the branch passage 13, 14 of the communication passage 12 to cope with the fact that pulsation in the exhaust passage 9 changes due to the fluctuation in the rotational frequency of the engine. The latter ends 12b, 12c of the communication passage 12 are opened in the positions where the pressure fluctuation of the exhaust pulsation is maximum. Residual exhaust gas is thus scavenged well. This results in improving the reduction in the ratio of intake mixing. Therefore, the output of the engine is heightened.

Title: Manufacture of magnetic head
Inventor: TERASONO KOJI
IPC: G11B5/265
Filed: 1988-01-20
Abstract: PURPOSE:To make a back core unnecessary and to reduce cost by using a center core in common for recording and reproducing core half body and an erasing once half body and making the shape of the respective core half bodies that of a C-type core. CONSTITUTION:A C-type core shape is punched out from amorphous ribbons 4, 5, and non-magnetic materials 6-10 punched in the same shape are piled on the both surfaces of said piece of shape to form a laminated type recording and reproducing core half body 1. Also, a C-type core shape is punched out from a non-magnetic material of a thickness thinner that that of the amorphous ribbon of the recording and reproducing core half body, and on the both surfaces of thus punched shape, the similarly punched amorphous ribbon and the non- magnetic material are laminated to form the erasing core half body. A high Bs center core is sandwiched and fixed between these core half bodies. Thus the respective cores can be formed by the punching of C-type shape without needing a back core, and the bonding of the cores can be achieved in one time. As a result, a high mass productibity can be realized, and a large high temperature melting furnice, a cutting machine, or large spatter equipment is made unnecessary, hence the cost comes extremely small.
