Title: Plasma processing method
Inventor: SANO MICHIAKI
IPC: H01L21/3065
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: A plasma processing method that makes it possible to remove a
photoresist film and fence portion while maintaining a specific shape
of the opening is provided. After a wafer W is placed on a lower
electrode 106 provided inside a processing chamber 102 of an ashing
apparatus 100, power with its frequency set at 60 MHz and its level
set at 1 kW and power with its frequency set at 2 MHz and its level set
at 250 W are respectively applied to an upper electrode 122 and the
lower electrode 106. A processing gas induced into the processing
chamber 102 is raised to plasma, a photoresist film 208 at the wafer
W is ashed and, at the same time, fence portion 214 formed around
the opening of a via hole 210 during the etching process is removed.
The level of the power applied to the lower electrode 106 is set equal
to or lower than 10 W before the photoresist film 208 is completely
removed. As a result, the energy level of the ions induced into the
wafer W becomes reduced, so that the photoresist film 208 is ashed
without grinding shoulders 210a and 212a of the via hole 210 and
groove 212 at the SiO 2  film.

Abstract: A diagnostic method and apparatus for detecting
cell reversal in a fuel cell stack. The inventive method
and apparatus determines the average cell or cluster
voltage change of all of the cells or clusters in the
stack over a time period and the individual cell or
cluster voltage change during the same time period and
generates a difference between the average cell or
cluster voltage change and the individual cell or cluster
voltage change which is compared with a reference
acceptable difference. The method and apparatus generate
an output indicating impending cell reversal if the
voltage of an individual cell or cluster changes
significantly more or less than the average voltage
change of the rest of the cells or clusters in the stack.

Abstract: There has been a problem in that, when a service
provisioning system such as a shopping service system is highly
loaded, since all users are unconditionally limited in the
access to the service provisioning system, service provisioning
conditions cannot be set on a user-by-user basis so that specific
users are preferentially connected to the service provisioning
system and other users are not. There are provided an actual
using result table to store purchase amounts in the shopping
system and an operation threshold value table to store load
thresholds used as criteria for determining whether to approve
service provisioning, and when a request for an access to the
service provisioning system is received, the actual using result
table and the operation threshold value table are referred to,
a load threshold is determined based on an actual using result,
and it is determined whether to approve an access to the service
provisioning system.

IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: A process for determining bit loadings for a signal employing discrete multi-tone
modulation includes: determining the noise in each sub-channel; determining target
loadings that provide a desired error rate at the measured noise; rounding the target
loadings to determine proposed loadings that are integers, and determining whether the
proposed loadings provide a desired data rate. If the proposed loadings provide a data rate
less than that desired, the process selects one or more sub-channels having a positive
difference between target and proposed loading, and for each selected sub-channel
increases the proposed loading by 1. The gains for the selected channels are increased to
maintain the desired bit error rate at the higher loading. If the proposed loadings provide a
data rate greater than that desired, the process selects one or more sub-channels having a
negative difference between target and proposed loading, and for each selected sub-channel
decreases the proposed loading by 1. The gains of the channels having decrease
loadings are decrease to improve power efficiency.

Title: Membrane a gel solide
Inventor: CHEN MUGUO
IPC: G02F1/15
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: Cette invention concerne une membrane à gel solide à base de polymère extrêmement conductrice. La membrane est particulièrement adaptée pour être utilisée dans des dispositifs électrochimiques tels que des piles métal/air, Zn/MnO2 ou Ni/Cd et des piles à hydrogène, ainsi que dans des dispositifs électrochromiques tels que des fenêtres intelligentes et des affichages à écran plat. De plus, dans les piles électrochimiques rechargeables, la membrane à gel solide est extrêmement efficace pour être utilisée comme séparateur entre l'anode et l'électrode de charge. Conformément au principe de l'invention, la membrane extrêmement conductrice comprend un support ou un substrat et une composition de gel polymère possédant une espèce ionique contenue dans une phase solution de ladite composition. On prépare le gel à base de polymère par addition d'une espèce ionique à une solution monomère, suivie d'une polymérisation. Après polymérisation, on noie l'espèce ionique dans un gel à base de polymère, dans lequel elle demeure. L'espèce ionique se comporte comme un électrolyte liquide, alors que, dans le même temps, la membrane à gel solide à base de polymère sert de surface lisse impénétrable qui permet cependant l'échange ionique. La membrane de l'invention présente l'avantage d'une conductivité ionique mesurée fortement supérieure à celle observée précédemment dans des formes antérieures d'électrolytes solides ou de films polymères à électrolyte.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un indicateur de colorant migrant qui comprend une couche d'affichage et une couche de substrat de base. Une couche adhésive, située sur une surface de la couche d'affichage, permet de fixer de manière adhésive la couche d'affichage à la couche de base. La couche de base comprend un colorant migrant capable de migrer à travers la couche adhésive jusqu'à la couche d'affichage, lorsque la couche adhésive est placée en contact avec elle. La couche adhésive contient un accélérateur permettant d'améliorer la migration du colorant à travers la couche adhésive. La couche de base contient un produit destiné à absorber l'accélérateur dans la couche de base. Ainsi, lorsque la couche adhésive sur la couche d'affichage entre en contact avec la couche de base, au-dessus de cette dernière, la couche adhésive fixe de façon adhésive la couche d'affichage à la couche de base. Le colorant de migration est ensuite activé de façon qu'il puisse migrer à travers la couche adhésive jusqu'à la couche d'affichage pendant une durée donnée, afin de provoquer la formation d'un motif dans la couche d'affichage, une fois le temps écoulé. En même temps, l'accélérateur est absorbé par l'adhésif dans le substrat de base, afin d'empêcher la migration du colorant à travers l'adhésif, de façon à réduire le flou du motif, c'est-à-dire à fixer l'image, une fois le temps écoulé.
