Patent EP-0769808-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ABOELFOTOH MOHAMED OSAMA
IPC: H01L29/872
Filed: 1991-03-02
Abstract: Cu (14) is deposited as a film on the surface of a single crystalline semiconductor substrate (18) of Si or Ge, while the substrate is held at room temperature. It has been found that the materials will react by themselves over an extended period of time to form a Cu-silicide (20) or Cu-germanide (46) compound interface. The process may be used to produce interconnection metallization for integrated circuits, but, in the context of existing VLSI processes, heat is used to accelerate the formation using the minimum desirable parameters of a temperature of about 150°C for about 20 minutes. Contrary to the belief in the art that Cu always diffuses in silicon, the resulting interface junction has been found to demonstrate superior (near ideal) current/voltage characteristics and can be used as a high temperature (600-800°C) stability Ohmic/Schottky contact to Si or as a Cu diffusion barrier. Additional embodiments involve a Cu layer on a Ge layer on Si substrate, a Cu layer on a Si x Ge 1-x  layer on Si substrate, and the use of an intermediate layer of a refractory metal such as W. Various other VLSI embodiments are also disclosed.

Title: Alternateur de rotor a aimant permanent
Inventor: LINDSLEY NATHANIEL LAWRENCE
IPC: H02K7/18
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne un alternateur de rotor à aimant permanent comportant un moyeu/volant/engrenage (26) de démarrage monobloc. Trois aimants permanents (42) à forte rémanence, en céramique, sont montés sur le rotor et ils constituent un anneau contigu de douze pôles alternatifs conférant un haut rendement à l'alternateur. Les aimants en céramique sont fixés par collage au moyeu du rotor, qui est actionné par un arbre allongé. Le rotor tourne à l'intérieur d'un ensemble stator bobiné (54) dont le noyau feuilleté du stator fait partie d'un ensemble carcasse de l'alternateur et sert donc de protection au cas où un aimant du rotor se détacherait.

framework). The UI exchanges data messages with the framework. The
framework is designed to handle two types of messages: (1) from the UI, and (2)
from the server (back end) program via the network. The framework includes a
component, the mediator which manages messages coming into and going out of
the framework. A distributed computer system is presented with software for a
client computer, a server computer and a network for connecting the client
computer to the server computer which utilizes an execution framework code
segment configured to couple the server computer and the client computer via
the network. A plurality of client computer code segments are stored on the
server. Each client code segment is designed for transmission over the network
to a client computer to initiate coupling. A plurality of server computer code
segments are also stored on the server. A particular client code segment is
selected, installed and executed in response to initiation of coupling via the
network with a particular client utilizing the transmitted client computer code
segment for communicating via a particular communication protocol to a
corresponding server code segment on the server computer. Finally, a client
cache is integrated into the client computer of the client-server architecture.

Abstract: A high pressure mercury ultraviolet lamp with high dimensional
accuracy in which the emitter material during lamp operation is prevented
from spraying and being deposited onto the wall of the discharge vessel and
the UV radiation transmission factor is prevented from being reduced is
achieved by the fact that at least one of a group of halides which consists of
halides of yttrium lanthanum, cerium, dysprosium, gadolinium and thorium
and at least one of a group of halides which consists of halides of alkali
metal elements are filled at a filling ratio in the range from 1:4 to 1:20 to one
another as a molar fraction. This also yields the same action as the
application of emitter material to the upholding parts of the electrodes.
Furthermore, high dimensional accuracy can be ensured by the measure by
which the discharge vessel is made of a translucent ceramic, such as YAG.

Ce système a recours à une technique de développement associatif et linguistique des mots d'entrée consistant à réaliser d'abord le développement associatif, et à le faire suivre d'un développement linguistique simultané prenant en considération des règles morphologiques et phonétiques applicables. Le système procède automatiquement à la génération et à la mise à jour d'une base de connaissances linguistiques pour chaque langue à traiter, cette mise à jour se faisant par analyse d'un vaste corpus de texte dans chacune des langues. Le système procède également à l'indexation de la collection des sources d'informations textuelles à soumettre à recherche.
