Abstract: This invention provides a process for making titanium
dioxide pigment, wherein an aqueous slurry of hydrous oxide
surface-treated TiO 2  particles is subjected to media
milling. The TiO 2  particles are surface-treated with a
coating comprising a hydrous oxide such as silica and/or
alumina, and the slurry is filtered prior to media milling.
The milled slurry is dried and the dried product is fluid-energy
milled to produce TiO 2  pigment having good particle
size distribution. The TiO 2  pigments may be used to make
coating formulations having high gloss.

Abstract: A differential recirculation
monitor (22) quantitatively determines the degree of
recirculation in a fistula (26) by comparing the
conductivity of blood entering the fistula to the
conductivity of blood being withdrawn from the
fistula. A discrete quantity of a high conductivity
marker fluid is injected into the blood entering the
fistula, altering the conductivity of the blood
entering the fistula. The altered conductivity
blood enters the fistula and, if recirculation is
present, co-mingles with blood in the fistula,
altering the conductivity of the blood in the
fistula in proportion to the degree of
recirculation. Blood withdrawn from the fistula has
an altered conductivity related to the degree of
recirculation. Quantitative values of the
conductivity of the altered conductivity blood
entering the fistula and the conductivity of the
blood being withdrawn from the fistula are measured
and a difference determined. The determined
difference between the conductivities is used to
determine a quantitative measurement of the degree
of recirculation in the fistula.

Abstract: A process of growing a dielectric layer includes a
step of heating a gas mixture of at least one gas having a
first chemical element of oxygen and a second chemical
element other than oxygen to a first predetermined
temperature to produce reactive precursors of the gas
mixture. The reactive precursors are then introduced into
a reaction chamber (23) that houses at least one wafer
(25) to grow the dielectric layer on the wafer within the
reaction chamber at a second predetermined temperature
below the first predetermined temperature. The process is
undertaken in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus
which comprises a pre-reaction chamber 22 in addition to
the reaction chamber 23.

IPC: G06F13/16

Abstract: A data processor supports the use of multiple memory models by computer
programs. At a device external to a data processor, such as a memory
controller, memory transactions requests are received from the data
processor. Each memory transaction request has associated therewith a
memory model selected from a predefined plurality of memory models. In a
preferred embodiment, the predefined memory models supported are SSO
(strong sequential order), TSO (total store order), PSO (partial store order)
and RMO (relaxed memory order). Data representing pending memory
transactions are stored in one or more pending transaction buffers and a
pending transaction status array. The pending transaction status data
includes memory transaction order data that indicates which of the pending
memory transactions can be performed before other ones of the pending
memory transactions. More particularly, logic in the memory controller
determines, based on the memory model associated with a most recently
received memory transaction request and the memory model associated with
at least one other pending memory transaction, whether or not the memory
transaction associated with the most recently received memory transaction
request can be performed before the other pending memory transaction, and
then stores data representing this ordering determination in a transaction
scoreboard. The memory controller performs the pending memory
transactions in an order consistent with the memory transaction order data.
As a result, a subset of the pending memory transactions are performed in a
different order than they were received from the data processor.

Abstract: A vertical semiconductor wafer processing furnace (10) that includes a single housing
(16) having first (12) and second (14) vertical furnaces each having a heating chamber (46)
for heat treating a semiconductor wafer (W). The first and second vertical furnaces are
asymmetrically disposed relative to each other to reduce the overall footprint of the
processing furnace. Each vertical furnace includes a wafer support assembly (54) that
includes support structure, such as a wafer boat (40), boat elevator (58), motor (64) and
guide rod (60), for axially mounting a selected number of semiconductor wafers (W). A
translation element selectively moves one of the support elements along the vertical axis into
and out of the process tube, and a wafer transfer element (36) selectively transfers
semiconductor wafers to or from one of the support elements. The furnace further includes a
heating sleeve (100) or envelope that is adapted to control the ambient fluid environment
surrounding the support structure and which is independently movable relative to support
structure. The heating sleeve is adapted to sealing engage a portion (54B) of the support
element to create a fluid-tight seal forming a loadlock processing assembly (108). This
assembly is coupled to a vertical translation assembly that selectively, vertically moves the
processing assembly into the heating chamber (46) of the vertical furnace. Additionally, the
heating sleeve (100) can be vertically moved relative to the support structure (40) to engage
and disengage repetitively, easily and automatically the heating sleeve relative to the support
structure.

Abstract: A gas turbine rotor steam gland (92) includes a
steam inlet supply scroll (94) for supplying steam
through radial slots (97) to an axially extending
passage (84) in the rotor (14) for steam cooling of hot
gas path component parts. The scroll (94) decreases in
diameter in the circumferential direction of cooling
medium flow to match its velocity with the surface
speed of the rotor (14). An aft labyrinth seal (110)
is provided about the rotor (14). Forwardly of the
scroll (94), a plurality of labyrinth-type seals
(102,104,106) are interspersed with extraction ports
(96,98,100). The extraction ports (96,98,100) except
for the final forwardmost extraction port (100), are
maintained at a pressure below the pressure of the
inlet supply steam whereby steam leakage past the seals
(102,104,106) flows into the extraction ports
(96,98,100) for removal. The final forward extraction
port (100) is maintained at sub-ambient pressure such
that final steam leakage past the forward seals and
ambient air leakage past the forwardmost seal (106)
combine and are extracted for the steam gland.

Abstract: A desired signal is received at first and
second antennas (11 1 , 11 2 ). Output signals of the first
and second antennas (11 1 , 11 2 ) are orthogonal-detected by
first and second signal conversion circuits (12 1 , 12 2 , 13 1 ,
13 2 ) and thereby converted into first and second baseband
signals. A complex conjugation circuit (14) generates a
complex conjugation signal by calculating a complex
conjugation of the second baseband signal. The first
baseband signal and the complex conjugation signal are
multiplied by a multiplier (15). A direction estimation
circuit (16) estimates a direction of the desired signal
by effecting an inverse tangent calculation and an
inverse cosine calculation on an output signal of the
multiplier (15).

Abstract: A Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System(TCAS) uses a dual bandwidth receiver
to achieve extended range operation. During normal operations TCAS radio signals are
filtered by a bandpass filter (26) which passes all TCAS radio signals of interest. When
extended range operation is desired the TCAS radio signals are filtered by a more
narrow bandpass filter (27). The narrower filter passes only selected TCAS radio
signals and improves the signal to noise ratio and thus allows detection of selected
TCAS radio signals at extended range. The TCAS system switches between the normal
mode and the extended range mode to detect and track aircraft at both near and far
distances.
