Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting water droplets from a water-laden airstream includes introducing the airstream into an extractor duct, imparting a swirling motion to the airstream at a first axial location in the duct, removing water droplets from the airstream that have been thrown to the inner surface of the duct at a second axial location downstream of the first location, and at a third axial location downstream of the second location removing water droplets not removed at the second location. The water removal mechanism at the second location includes a first collection chamber and a first array of apertures circumferentially positioned about the duct and communicating the interior of the duct with the first collection chamber. The water removal mechanism at the third location includes a second collection chamber and an upstream-facing annular ring of smaller diameter than the diameter of the duct for capturing water droplets that have not been collected by the water removal mechanism at the second location.

Abstract: Method for determining or monitoring the height of a liquid in a container or for determining the liquid density. Method is based on setting a measurement body (4) vibrating and from the vibration response, determination of fluid height or density. The method compensates for the influence of external values, such as pressure or temperature on the vibration frequency of the vibrating body. Compensation method is based on determination of characteristic curves for the frequency change in the vibrating body caused by a change in pressure and temperature or in the viscosity. These are then used to adjust the measured frequencies of the vibrating body. An independent claim is made for a device for compensating for pressure, temperature or viscosity changes on a vibrating sensor level or density gauge.

Abstract: A method for forming a gate dielectric having regions with different dielectric constants. A dummy dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor structure. The dummy dielectric layer is patterned to form a gate opening. A high-K dielectric layer is formed over the dummy dielectric and in the gate opening. A low-K dielectric layer is formed on the high-K dielectric layer. Spacers are formed on the low-K dielectric layer at the edges of the gate opening. The low-K dielectric layer is removed from the bottom of the gate opening between the spacers. The spacers are removed to form a stepped gate opening. The stepped gate opening has both a high-K dielectric layer and a low-K dielectric layer on the sidewalls and at the edges of the bottom of the gate opening and only a high-k dielectric layer in the center of the bottom of the stepped gate opening. A gate electrode is formed in the stepped gate opening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de verrouiller des registres sources dans un appareil de traitement de données. Celui-ci comprend une unité de traitement possédant un pipeline permettant d'exécuter une séquence d'instructions, ainsi qu'un ensemble de registres sources destinés à stocker des données sources requises par l'unité de traitement lors de l'exécution d'instructions dans la séquence. Un mécanisme de verrouillage est ensuite mis en oeuvre pour verrouiller des registres sources en fonction de critères pouvant être configurés, ceux-ci étant choisis de manière à garantir le verrouillage des registres sources encore requis pour l'achèvement de l'exécution d'une instruction dans le pipeline, afin de prévenir des types prédéterminés d'accès par une instruction subséquente pouvant être seulement autorisée à entrer dans le pipeline si les registres sources pertinents pour cette instruction peuvent être accédés comme requis par l'instruction. Conformément à l'invention, l'unité de traitement comprend des premier et second modes de fonctionnement. Dans le premier mode de fonctionnement, l'unité de traitement est disposée, au moment de la détermination d'une ou de plusieurs conditions d'exception pendant l'exécution d'une instruction, de manière à invoquer un procédé externe à l'unité d'exécution en pipeline, afin de permettre l'achèvement de l'exécution de l'instruction. En revanche, dans le second mode de fonctionnement, l'unité de traitement est disposée de manière à achever l'exécution d'une instruction dans le pipeline, même en présence d'une ou de plusieurs conditions d'exception. Un mécanisme de verrouillage est ensuite disposé de manière à modifier le critère pouvant être configuré en fonction du mode de fonctionnement de l'unité de traitement, en vue d'obtenir une réduction dans le nombre de registres sources étant verrouillés pendant le second mode de fonctionnement, permettant ainsi d'améliorer de manière considérable la vitesse de traitement de l'unité de traitement pendant le second mode de fonctionnement.
