Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB95/02666 Sec. 371 Date May 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 7, 1997 PCT Filed Nov. 14, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/16311 PCT Pub. Date May 30, 1996This invention relates to a detonator firing circuit comprising a control unit and a plurality of detonator circuits. The detonator circuits are arranged to simultaneously receive a "fire" signal and the fire signal initiates all the delay arrangements to allow different groups of detonators to detonate at different times in accordance with a predetermined firing program. In the present invention each detonator circuit has a code individual thereto and the control unit can control and transmit information to every detonator circuit, including the delay to be imparted to the detonator circuit. The identification code for each detonator circuit is preferably one of a large number of identification codes so that the likelihood of the two detonator circuits having the same identification code and having the same firing circuit is extremely small.

Abstract: In a PECVD process, the plasma potential is controlled and maintained at a uniform level to confine the formed plasma to the gap area between the electrodes (13, 14) away from the influence of the walls (12) of the discharge chamber (11). The plasma potential is controlled by operating the system at a high pressure, above about 12 Torr, and monitoring the operation by observing the DC bias on the upper or driven electrode (13) until a positive potential, preferably greater than about 10V, is developed. At this point a symmetrical glow discharge and a controlled plasma exists between the driven electrode (13) and the susceptor electrode (14), controllable by maintaining the pressure between about 14 and 20 Torr, to reduce plasma damage to the semiconductor body (15) being coated which maximizes yield.

Abstract: The method described provides for the following
operations: forming cells of EEPROM type on a wafer with
source (S), drain (D) and control gate (G) surface
terminals (pads), subjecting the cells to UV radiation
so as to erase them thereby fixing a reference threshold
voltage, applying programming voltages of preset value
to one of the cells and measuring the corresponding
threshold voltages, subjecting this cell to UV radiation
so as to restore its threshold to the reference value,
subjecting the wafer to the plasma treatment to be
assessed, measuring the threshold voltages of the cells
and comparing them with the reference threshold voltage
so as to derive from the comparison information on the
alterations induced on the dielectrics formed on the
wafer and on the distribution of the plasma potential. 
     The method guarantees high sensitivity of
measurement, great reliability and reproducibility of
the measurements and can be used with advantage both in
the design of equipment for plasma treatments and in the
fabrication of semiconductor devices in order to
increase production yield.

Title: Device for assisting cardiac activity by means of a balloon

IPC: A61M60/515
Filed: 1996-02-06
Abstract: A heart pacemaker (6), in particular an external heart pacemaker, which comprises means for stimulating the heart and means for perceiving spontaneous cardiac activity, contains an additional device in the form of an additional module (8) for forming a pulse (PR) which is coupled in a fixed manner in terms of time to the perception of spontaneous ventricular cardiac activity and coupled in a manner which is fixed in terms of time but offset by a given interval (t) to the emission of a ventricular stimulation pulse. The pulse emitted by the additional module (8) is used to control the logics of a balloon pump (10, 12, 9, 3). The additionally formed pulse has the approximate shape and amplitude of a patient's natural ECG R wave occurring at the body surface, such that it can be "understood" by the ECG input of the pump control system (4), as is conventional for the normally derived surface ECG. The pacemaker has low source impedance. A separate pacemaker (6) can be assembled with or connected to an intra-aortal balloon counter-pulsation system (IABP) of this type.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer schlupfgeregelten Kraftfahrzeug-Bremsanlage mit Fahrdynamikregelung. Bei derartigen Anlagen ist bisher vorgeschlagen worden, beim Einsetzen der Regelung Druckmittel-Zusatzquellen (6) zur Unterstützung der Förderpumpe (3) zuzuschalten, um die Regelzeit zu verkürzen. Praktische Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass derartige Zusatzquellen (6) zum einen nicht für jeden Regelvorgang benötigt werden und zum anderen störende Geräusche verursachen. Die Erfindung schlägt daher vor, die Druckmittel-Zusatzquelle (6) nur beim Vorliegen besonderer Situationen zuzuschalten, wie beispielsweise dann, wenn das Druckmittel aufgrund niedriger Temperaturen sehr zähflüssig ist. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen beschäftigen sich mit der Feststellung der Temperatur.
