Patent EP-0723930-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FONG WING-CHIU FRANCIS
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 1995-11-27
Abstract: An improved method for the production of stoichiometric ratioed syngas comprises partially oxidizing a gaseous feedstock containing substantial amounts of methane in a gasifier to produce a hot synthesis gas stream that is passed in indirect heat exchange through a steam reforming catalytic reactor. A portion of the steam reforming reaction products are mixed with the cooled gasifier synthesis gas stream exiting the steam reforming catalytic reactor to form a combined synthesis gas stream, called a "stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas." The stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas stream can then be passed into a methanol synthesis unit at substantially the specifications for optimal methanol production with little or no external compression. In a second embodiment the gasifier unit is arranged and operated in parallel with a primary steam reformer unit. The respective synthesis gas streams exiting each unit are combined to form a combined synthesis gas stream that undergoes oxidation in a secondary catalytic reformer unit to form a stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas that requires minimal external compression before being converted to methanol.

Abstract: The atoms constituting a surface of a solid sample are identified by first forming, on the surface, island-like deposits of a substance capable of generating fluorescent X-rays upon being energized by an electron beam. The deposits are then energized with the electron beam so that fluorescent X-rays are emitted therefrom and reflected on the surface. From the critical angle for total reflection of the fluorescent X-rays reflected on that portion of the surface of the sample on which no deposits are present, the atoms constituting the surface may be determined. An apparatus for carrying out the above method is also disclosed which is a modification of the conventional RHEED/TRAXS device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un transistor de mémoire rémanente, modifiable électriquement, présentant des applications dans la mémorisation de données et de programmes et la fabrication de dispositifs logiques programmables. Ledit dispositif convient parfaitement aux applications de mémoire 'flash' dans lesquelles les données sont enregistrées sous forme de bits, d'octets ou de pages mais dans lesquelles les données sont généralement effacées pour être réinscrites dans des blocs de mémoires plus grands. Le dispositif de mémoire selon l'invention permet d'utiliser la mémoire flash dans des applications plus rapides et donc de produire des nouveaux types de systèmes et circuits électroniques utiles. Le dispositif de mémoire flash fonctionne dans toutes les applications courantes de la mémoire flash et est également compétitif sur le plan des coûts de fabrication. Le dispositif selon l'invention est sensiblement perfectionné par rapport aux dispositifs des technologies concurrentes. Les performances supérieures dudit dispositif permettent l'utilisation directe du transistor de mémoire dans des applications rapides, tandis qu'avec un transistor de mémoire rémanente classique moins performant les informations provenant du dispositif rémanent doivent être transférées à une mémoire RAM statique ou à un autre type de mémoire non rémanente présentant une vitesse de commutation supérieure à celle des mémoires rémanentes classiques. Les propriétés de commutation du dispositif selon l'invention, le courant de mise sous tension faible et le courant de mise hors tension élevé, permettent également d'utiliser le dispositif en remplacement de l'EEPROM, de fusibles, d'antifusibles et d'autres dispositifs de commutation rémanents, électriquement modifiables dans des dispositifs logiques programmables. Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être fabriqué au moyen de procédés économiques compatibles avec les outils et procédures courantes, ce qui permet d'intégrer le dispositif à des circuits CMOS pour remplacer la mémoire ROM masquée par une mémoire flash plus souple moyennant un augmentation des coûts modeste. Les procédés d'exploitation et de fabrication des cellules permettent de réduire la taille de l'élément de mémoire de sorte que des faibles coûts et des performances élevées soient conservés alors que la taille caractéristique des circuits micro-électronique est réduite dans le futur. L'approche de la cellule selon l'invention permet de mettre en oeuvre des procédés de programmation plus simples afin de simplifier la conception du groupement de mémoires, de prendre en charge des courants de cellule plus élevés pour des applications rapides, et d'utiliser des procédés de fabrication de coût inférieur que dans l'approche 'ETOX'. De plus, l'invention se rapporte à une nouvelle technique de gravure pouvant être utilisée dans la fabrication de la cellule selon l'invention et permettant de graver un espace très mince dans une couche de polysilicium.

Abstract: The method involves using a statement data record resulting from a call by device of a neural network for the recognition of a fraud. The statement data record as well as statement data records of previous calls are entered as input parameters in the neural network, and an output value of the neural network indicates a probability for the fraud. The fraud is recognised as existent if the output value oversteps a pre-settable value, and as non-existent, if the output value does not overstep the pre-settable value. The neural network is preferably trained before the input parameters are entered, by entering a number of predetermined statement data records, for which it is known if the corresponding call was authorised or not.
