Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic tracking of a body comprising the steps of defining (step 11) several sets of templates, each set comprising a plurality of templates consisting of areas selected from a 2D image of the body, relating (step 12) each template set to a body coordinate system (26), acquiring (step 14) at least two images (21-25) representing different views of the body at one given moment in time, and for each image associating (step 15) the image with at least one of said template sets, locating (step 16) each template in this template set in the image, and calculating a preliminary position of said body coordinate system (26) in space, and using a geometrical relationship between said views to combine said preliminary positions, thereby reducing uncertainties in the position of the body coordinate system in space. Thus, several "preliminary" BCS orientations are combined to generate a final BCS orientation. The inventive method secures an improved redundancy compared to conventional technology.

Abstract: A trench MOSFET is formed in a structure which includes a P-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+ substrate. An N-type dopant is implanted through the bottom of the trench into the P-epitaxial layer to form a buried layer below the trench, and after a up-diffusion step a N drain-drift region extends between the N+ substrate and the bottom of the trench. The result is a more controllable doping profile of the N-type dopant below the trench. The body region may also be formed by implanting P-type dopant into the epitaxial layer, in which case the background doping of the epitaxial layer may be either lightly doped P- or N-type. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown voltage.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting and dissolving the deposits formed on caustic or alkaline scrubbers used in scrubbing acidic gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, which are formed during the pyrolytic cracking of naphtha, ethane, and propane. The cracking operations produce certain oxygenated compounds such as vinyl acetate or acetaldehyde, which undergo polymerization under alkaline condition. The vinyl acetate on hydrolysis releases acetaldehyde under alkaline conditions.
