Patent EP-1345844-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CABUZ CLEOPATRA
IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Methods for making thin silicon layers suspended over recesses in glass wafers. One method includes providing a thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer, and a glass wafer. The SOI wafer can include a silicon oxide layer disposed between a first undoped or substantially undoped silicon layer and a second silicon layer. Recesses can be formed in the glass wafer surface and electrodes may be formed on the glass wafer surface. The first silicon layer of the SOI wafer is then bonded to the glass wafer surface having the recesses, and the second silicon layer is subsequently removed using the silicon oxide layer as an etch stop. Next, the silicon oxide layer is removed. The first silicon layer can then be etched to form the desired structure. In another illustrative embodiment, the first silicon layer has a patterned metal layer thereon. The SOI wafer is bonded to the glass wafer, with the patterned metal layer positioned adjacent the recesses in the glass wafer. Then, the second silicon layer is removed using the silicon oxide layer as an etch stop, and the silicon oxide layer is subsequently removed. The first silicon layer is then etched using the patterned metal layer as an etch stop. The patterned metal layer is then removed.

Abstract: The steam-cooling-type gas turbine is provided with
communication passages in number equal to that of the
front-stage stator blades and the rear-stage stator blades.
Many communication passages are placed in the blade ring
densely. As a result, in the blade ring, the temperature
difference between the portion having the communication
passages and the portion without the communication passages
becomes smaller. This makes it possible to minimize the
thermal deformation of the blade ring, thereby making it
possible to provide uniform clearance between the fixed side
such as the blade ring and the rotary side members.

Abstract: In a microfluidic system (partially shown by element 178 in the figure and
elements thereupon) using electrokinetic forces, the present invention uses
electrical current or electrical parameters, other than voltage, to control the
movement of fluids through the channels of the system. Time-multiplexed
power supplies (200 and 202) also provide further control over fluid movement
by varying the voltage on an electrode connected to a fluid reservoir of the
microfluidic system, by varying the duty cycle during which the voltage is
applied to the electrode, or by a combination of both. A time-multiplexed power
supply can also be connected to more than one electrode for a saving in cost.

Abstract: A data recording/reproducing method, a data recording system adopting the
same, and media for the system are provided. The method includes the steps of
preparing media (20) having a data recording layer in which a phase change is
generated through electron absorption, generating electrons using an electron
generating source (40) according to data for recording at a position separated from the
data recording layer by a predetermined interval, forming a magnetic field (NS) on the
path of the electrons and cyclotron (50) moving the electrons, and transmitting the
cyclotron moved electrons onto the data recording layer to record data through local
melting and cooling due to the absorption of the electrons by the data recording
layer. The micro-tip (11) does not contact the data recording layer while the electron
beam collides with the data recording layer, and thus no damage is caused by waste
of the micro-tip, as with a conventional AFM method, and data recording and
reproduction is very fast. In addition, the electron beam is converged onto the data
recording layer through cyclotron movement, and thus the region (22a) where the electron
beam reaches can be minimized by properly adjusting the distance, to maximize the
data recording density.

Abstract: The amplification chain in a relay station is provided with negative feedback by a FIR
filter with controllable frequency response ( W ( f )), whereby the channel transfer function
for each OFDM symbol is estimated and the filter transfer function is controlled
so that the distorsions of the signal broadcast by the transmitting antenna are minimized.
A preliminary procedure is then performed in which the relay's transmission is
disabled while the reception is active and an estimation is made of the transfer function
of the multiple paths reaching the receiver in addition to the main signal by computing
 H e   ( f ) =  F   0 ( f ) - 1, where  F   0 ( f ) is the frequency response of the channel, and the FIR
filter is then initialized with the function  W   0 ( f ) =  F   0 ( f ) - 1. The invention also concerns
an apparatus with a simplified FIR filter.
