Patent EP-1033745-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DENNING DEAN J
IPC: H01L21/28
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: A method for forming an improved copper inlaid
interconnect (FIG. 11) begins by performing an RF preclean
operation (408) on the inlaid structure in a chamber (10).
The RF preclean rounds corners (210a and 206a) of the
structure to reduce voiding and improve step coverage
while not significantly removing copper atoms from the
underlying exposed copper interconnects surfaces (202a).
A tantalum barrier (220) is then deposited where one
portion of the tantalum barrier is more tensile than another
portion of the tantalum barrier. After formation of the
barrier layer (220), a copper seed layer (222) is formed
over a top of the barrier layer. The copper layer is formed
while clamping the wafer with an improved clamp (85)
which reduces copper peeling and contamination at wafer
edges. Copper electroplating and chemical mechanical
polishing (CMP) processes are then used to complete the
copper interconnect structure.

Abstract: A winder for winding wire onto
core supports of dynamo-electric cores with
translational, rotational and radial motions with
respect to a central longitudinal axis of the dynamo-electric
core is provided. The radial motion may
preferably be provided by an independent assembly. In
one embodiment of the invention, the radial motion may
be provided by rotating a cam disk which is movably
connected to, and causes radial motion of, a pair of
rollers. The pair of rollers are mounted on support
arms which are connected to a needle for dispensing the
wire such that movement of the pair causes similar
movement of the needle. In another embodiment of the
invention, an inclined way is coupled to a slide
portion of the needle. When the inclined way is moved
parallel to the axis, it causes a radial motion of the
slide portion.

IPC: A61P7/08

Abstract: A method for producing a stable polymerized hemoglobin
blood-substitute from blood characterized in the use of a
chromatographic column, is disclosed. The method of this
invention includes mixing blood with an anticoagulant to
form a blood solution, washing the red blood cells in the
blood solution and then separating the washed red blood
cells from the white blood cells. This method also
includes disrupting the red blood cells to release
hemoglobin and form a hemoglobin solution, which is then
treated by high performance liquid chromatography to form
a hemoglobin eluate. The hemoglobin eluate is then
deoxygenated, contacted with a first reducing agent to form
an oxidation-stabilized deoxygenated hemoglobin solution,
and mixed with a cross-linking agent to form a
polymerization reaction mixture, which is then polymerized.
The polymerized hemoglobin solution is then diafiltered
with a physiologic solution and with a reducing agent,
whereby the polymerized hemoglobin solution is made
physiologically acceptable, and whereby the reducing agent
scavenges oxygen, to form a stable polymerized hemoglobin
blood-substitute which is then packaged and stored in an
atmosphere substantially free of oxygen. Compositions made 
by the methods are also disclosed, as are methods of
therapeutically, or prophylactically, treating a vertebrate
to increase tissue oxygenation, or prevent oxygen
depletion, in tissue of the vertebrate.

Abstract: Non-volatile write-once memory (106, 108, 110) is used for storage of variable
data. In an example embodiment, segmented flash memory is used, in which individual
segments can be erased. At least two segments are used. When a segment is nearly full
(222), or when the segment is corrupted (224), the latest values are written to a new
segment (226). During initialization, all variables of interest are written into RAM with
default values (204). The flash segment being used is read sequentially from oldest entry to
newest entry, and values from flash memory are used to overwrite values (or pointers to
values) in RAM (216). RAM then contains (or points to) the most recent value for every
variable. When a new segment is written, the new segment is written using the values from
RAM (236). The method provides for identification of the latest (current) value for each
stored item of information, provides for adding new types of data and deleting old types of
data, provides for action when a memory segment is full, and provides for recovery from
power-failure.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure is provided to both enhance accuracy in positioning
suspension mount bolts (7, 8) and improve the workability in assembling an extruded
dash panel (1) to a cast reinforcement member (4). At the stage of casting the
reinforcement member (4), the suspension mount bolts (7, 8) as "insert" elements are
fixed to the member (4). Owing to the insert structure of the bolts (7, 8), the distance
between the bolts (7, 8) is automatically determined. The reinforcement member (4) has
locating pins (19) integrally formed to engage with locating holes (21) in the dash panel
(1). The rear suspension mount bolt (8) is embedded in the locating pin (19) coaxially.
With the engagement between each locating pin (19) and each locating hole (21) it is
possible to complete the mutual positioning of the dash panel (1) and the reinforcement
member (4) without using a special positioning tool, improving the assembling
workability between the panel (1) and the reinforcement member (4).
