Patent EP-0852938-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ULMAN JOHN
IPC: A61F13/53
Filed: 1998-01-07
Abstract: This invention provides protective products feminine
hygiene absorbent such as sanitary napkins that have
conforming means in their end regions that, in use,
facilitate the products' ability to fit close and
conform to the body, resist transverse bunching and
prevent leakage of fluid from the edges. The conforming
means (245, 246) consists of a stiffened element
(238, 239) and a non-stiffened region (240, 241)
immediately adjacent the stiffened element that
cooperate to bend, fit and conform. The stiffened
element, such as an embossed channel (243, 244) or
regions that are stiff, densified or reinforced,
bends along its axis of bending and resists bending
and compression orthogonal to that axis. The non-stiffened
relatively unconstrained region (240, 241)
puffs outward to fit and conform to the body. The
center region (242) of the napkin may optionally
contain a stiffening means, such as extra absorbent
material, a sphagnum moss containing insert and an
embossed channel (243, 244); the stiffening means
(243) of the center region (242) being spaced apart
from the stiffened element (238, 239) of the end
region (236, 237). The absorbent product may also
optionally have cuffs, or optionally have undergarment
wrapping wings (229, 230), where such cuffs or
wings synergistically cooperate with the conforming
means (245, 246) of this invention to provide full
and reserve coverage of and conformability to the
body. This is true for cuffs, and especially for
wings (229, 230), and most especially for wings that
are attached inwardly of the longitudinal edges of
the absorbent element (135), such wings providing
gathering of the crotch of the undergarment without
diminishing the strike zone that is available to
capture body fluids.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing an arylcarboxylic acid, which comprises
adding a heterocyclic base to the arylcarboxylic acid or a
pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, a stabilizer thereof and an
aqueous solution containing a stabilized arylcarboxylic acid. According
to the stabilization method of the present invention, arylcarboxylic
acid and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof, particularly
pranoprofen, can be stabilized at every temperature range, particularly
at lower temperatures, thereby making the production of an aqueous
solution to be used as an eye drop, nasal drop, ear drop and the like
possible.

Inventor: ILG MATTHIAS
IPC: H01L21/318
Filed: 1998-03-21
Abstract: A method of filling gaps between adjacent gate
electrodes of a semiconductor structure. A self-planarizing
material is deposited over the structure. A
first portion of such material flow between the gate
electrode to fill the gaps and a second portion of such
material becomes deposited over tops of the gate
electrodes and over the gaps to form a layer with a
substantially planar surface. A phosphorous dopant is
formed in the second portion of the self-planarizing
material. Thus, relatively small gaps may be filled
effectively with a layer having a very planar surface for
subsequent photolithography. The phosphorous dopant
provides gettering to remove adverse effects of alkali
contaminant ions which may enter the gap filling
material. The dielectric constant of the material filing
the gaps, i.e., the first portion of the gap filling
material, being substantially free of such contaminants,
has a relatively low dielectric constant thereby reducing
electrical coupling between adjacent electrodes. The
self-planarizing material is a flowable material. The
flowable oxide may be spun on or may be deposited by
gaseous deposition. The phosphorous dopant may be
provided by, for example: implanting phosphorous ions
into the second portion of the self-planarizing layer and
heating the material to both cure such material and
activate the phosphorous ions; depositing a phosphorous
doped layer over the layer of self-planarizing material,
heating the structure to out-diffuse the phosphorous
dopant into the second portion of the self-planarizing
material and selectively removing the deposited layer; or
by curing the spun-on self-planarizing material in a
phosphine environment.

Abstract: A multiple serial access memory is provided. A
dynamic random access memory (30) is addressed to
input data thereto and output data therefrom. Rows
of data are output from the array (50) in response
to address signals (34, 36, 38) provided thereto. A
plurality of serial output ports (44, 46, 48) is
coupled to the output of the array for selectively
latching different rows of data output from the
array. The serial output ports (44, 46, 48) are
clocked to output the latched data therefrom. In an
illustrated embodiment, each of the serial output
ports contains a shift register (62, 64, 66, ... 68)
having a length equal to the width of the memory
array (30). The shift register is responsive to a
first timing signal (42, 52) for latching a row of
data from the array (30). A second timing signal
actuates the shift register to shift a row of
latched data. A serial access selector (70) coupled
to the shift register outputs a selected portion of
the shifted data from the serial output port. The
memory has particular application as the frame store
for a motion compensated interframe image
coding/decoding system.

Abstract: A refrigeration cycle is switched from a
refrigeration cycle circuit to a hot gas heater circuit
to make the hot gas discharged from a compressor (7) flow
into an evaporator (6) and heat the vehicle passenger
compartment, at which time, when a suction pressure (Ps)
of the compressor (7) becomes a low pressure below a first
predetermined pressure, the discharge volume (Vc) of the
compressor (7) is made larger to ensure a sufficient
auxiliary heating performance. Further, when the hot gas
is made to flow into the evaporator (6) to heat the vehicle
passenger compartment, if the suction pressure (Ps) of
the compressor becomes a higher pressure over a second
predetermined pressure, the discharge volume (Vc) of the
compressor is made smaller to protect the refrigeration
cycle parts and lighten the ON, OFF shock.

Abstract: Described herein are a structure and a method for
packaging a semiconductor chip. The structure comprises a
semiconductor chip having a plurality of bumps formed
thereon, a substrate having copper-made wiring patterns
with the bumps joined thereto, which are formed so as to
correspond to forming positions of the bumps, and a
polyimide tape having adhesive layers provided on both
surfaces for joining the semiconductor chip and the
substrate to one another upon positioning. A spacing
defined between the semiconductor chip and the substrate is
sealed with a resin layer. A material for the substrate
is selected so that a thermal expansion coefficient of the
substrate is substantially equal to that of the polyimide
tape. Owing to the above construction, it is possible to
reduce the chance that a contact failure may occur, by
increasing bonding powers between the bumps and the wiring
patterns and avoid cracks from being produced on the
surface of the semiconductor chip due to a change in
temperature at its manufacture.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for correcting an
alignment error of a scanning head of a shuttle type
scanner capable of compensating for an error occurring in
a manufacturing or an alignment error generated by an
impact in use. When an alignment error correction mode is
selected at a preset time, the scanning head is moved to a
position facing a correction pattern formed on a
correction plate. The correction pattern is scanned
through the scanning head and the alignment error is
calculated from the scanned pattern image data using a
predetermined operation function. After performing a
first correction to the calculated alignment error by
moving first and last pixels of the image data, a second
correction to the alignment error is performed by applying
a preset correction function to remaining pixels excluding
the first and last pixels.

direction. A ring (25) therefore rotates, so a driven shaft (24) and a reel rotate
in the winding direction of the seat belt (35) through a clutch mechanism. The
tensile strength and the length of the seat belt to be wound are adjusted by
selecting to actuate one or both of the gas generators (A) and (B).

Abstract: Burners (40) for producing fused silica boules are provided. The
burners employ a tube-in-tube (301-306) design with flats (56, 50) on some
of the tubes (305, 301) being used to limit the cross-sectional area of certain

possibility of flashback, the burner has separate passages for fuel (205) and
oxygen (204, 206), i.e., the burner employs nozzle mixing, rather than
premixing, of the fuel and oxygen. The burners are installed in burner

holes so that ambient air cannot be entrained into the furnace through the
holes. An external air cooled jacket (60) can be used to hold the
