Title: Method for forming metal-metal oxide etch stop/electromigration barrier for integrated circuit interconnects and device
Inventor: MORROW XIAORONG
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: Described is a method and apparatus for forming interconnects with a metal-metal oxide electromigration barrier and etch-stop. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes depositing a metal layer on the top of a planarized interconnect layer, the interconnect layer having an interlayer dielectric (ILD) with a top that is planar with the top of an electrically conductive interconnect. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes reacting the metal layer with the ILD to form a metal oxide layer on the top of the ILD. At the same time, the metal layer will not be significantly oxidized by the electrically conductive interconnect, thus forming a metal barrier on the electrically conductive interconnect to improve electromigration performance. The metal barrier and metal oxide layer together comprise a protective layer. A second ILD may be subsequently formed on the protective layer, and the protective layer may act an etch-stop during a subsequent etch of the second ILD.

Patent AU-2003278516-A1 (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for visualizing a sequence of volume images
Inventor: WEESE JURGEN
IPC: G06T15/08
Filed: 2003-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for visualizing a sequence of volume images of a moving object. Methods and apparatus of this kind are used in cases where a sequence of three-dimensional volume images is to be rendered as a two-dimensional image, for example, for a viewer. The invention utilizes the fact that usually only the volume values of a part of the voxels are relevant for the derivation of a two-dimensional image from a volume image. In the case of a sequence of volume images of a moving object, the derivations of the two dimensional images can be accelerated by storing the voxels which are relevant for the visualization during the visualization of a first volume image and by deriving the relevant two-dimensional image during the visualization of a second volume image exclusively from the volume values of the stored voxels and from voxels neighboring such stored voxels. The selection of volume values of neighboring voxels for use is dependent on the motion of the object. The voxels of the second volume image which are relevant for the visualization are stored again and used accordingly for the visualization of a third volume image. These steps are repeated accordingly for further volume images of the sequence.

Title: Assessment of neural function
Inventor: MADDESS TED
IPC: A61B5/0484
Filed: 2004-11-29
Abstract: Assessment of one of the sensory nervous systems of a human subject using patterns of null and non-null stimuli. Parts of the visual system for example, are presented with two simultaneous sequences of stimuli. Each sequence is varied over time between a null stimulus and one or more less frequent non-null stimuli. The variation of each sequence is also controlled so that neighbouring parts of the sensory system are less likely to receive simultaneous non-null stimuli. The stimuli are therefore sparse both in time and in some other aspect, typically a spatial dimension. One or more responses of the subject are measured and weight functions are determined for assessment of the sensory system.

Title: Self-inflating intragastric volume-occupying device
Inventor: SAMPSON DOUGLAS C
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: A self-inflating, intragastric balloon device (1) is activated by addition of an activating liquid into an acid or water soluble receptacle (b) located within the bladder (2). After an approximately pre-determined time period post-activation, the activating liquid breaches the receptacle wall and causes contact between an acid in liquid form and an emissive substance within the bladder, causing it to inflate. The device is conveniently provided to medical personnel as part of a kit that further contains a syringe and the activating liquid. The device also can have acid or pepsin degradable portions that cause it to deflate after residing in the stomach for a prolonged period of time during which it imparts a feeling of satiety in the patient.

Title: Improved frequency-domain error concealment
Inventor: TALEB ANISSE
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 2004-12-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a frequency-domain error concealment technique for information that is represented, on a frame-by-frame basis, by coding coefficients. The basic idea is to conceal an erroneous coding coefficient by exploiting coding coefficient correlation in both time and frequency. The technique is applicable to any information, such as audio, video and image data, that is compressed into coding coefficients and transmitted under adverse channel conditions. The error concealment technique proposed by the invention has the clear advantage of exploiting the redundancy of the original information signal in time as well as frequency. For example, this offers the possibility to exploit redundancy between frames (inter-frame) as well as within frames (intra-frame). The use of coding coefficients from the same frame as the erroneous coding coefficient is sometimes referred to as intra-frame coefficient correlation and it is a special case of the more general frequency correlation.

Title: Stabilizing delivered laser energy
Inventor: HOLLIDAY KEITH
IPC: A61N5/067
Filed: 2005-03-09
Abstract: Systems and methods provide for stabilizing the amount of laser energy delivered to a target from a laser device. Generally, delivered laser energy is measured over multiple laser pulses or over time in the case of a constant wave laser. A decrease is then calculated in the delivered energy, the decrease being caused by accumulation of one or more substances, such as ozone, along the laser beam delivery path due to passage of the laser beam along the path. Using this calculated decrease, a laser device may be adjusted to compensate for the decrease in delivered energy due to the accumulated substance(s), thus stabilizing the amount of energy delivered to the target.
