Patent EP-0875930-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ILG MATTHIAS
IPC: H01L21/3105
Filed: 1998-03-21
Abstract: A method for planarizing a semiconductor structure
having a first surface region with a high aspect ratio
topography and a second surface region with a low aspect
ratio topography. A flowable material is deposited over the
first and second surface regions of the structure. A
portion of the material fills gaps in the high aspect ratio
topography to form a substantially planar surface over the
high aspect ratio topography. A doped layer, for example
phosphorus doped glass, is formed over the flowable oxide
material. The doped layer is disposed over the high aspect
ratio and over the low aspect ratio regions. Upper surface
portions over the low aspect ratio region are higher than an
upper surface of the flowable material. The upper portion
of the doped layer is removed over both the first and second
surface portions to form a layer with a substantially planar
surface above both the high aspect ratio region and the low
aspect ratio region. The method is used for filling gaps,
such as gaps between adjacent gate electrodes formed in a
gate electrode surface region of a semiconductor structure.

Abstract: Unsaturated nitriles are obtained by dehydration of corresponding unsaturated aldoximes at relatively low temperature in the gas or liquid phase over a heterogeneous basic oxide or hydroxide catalyst, optionally on an inert support. A process for the production of unsaturated nitriles of formula R-C(R<1>)=C(R<2>)-(CH2)n-CN (I) comprises dehydration of oximes R-C(R<1>)=C(R<2>)-(CH2)n-CH=N-OH (II) in the gas or liquid phase at 150-300 degrees C over a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of an oxide, nitride or carbide support doped with basic oxides and/or hydroxides or with compounds which are converted into these under the reaction conditions, or a catalyst consisting of the basic oxide alone. In (I), R, R<1>, R<2> = 1-20C alkyl or alkenyl or 3-12C cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, or two of these groups may form parts of an optionally unsaturated ring; R<1> and R<2> may also = H; and n = 0 or 1-20.

Abstract: The screw driver has a turning part (10) and a setting part, e.g. a setting screw (20). The screw has setting markings (24), which are visible from outside, and act with a setting scale (26) on the hand grip (14). The setting scale indicates the preset torques. The turning part is axially replaceable by other parts, because the torque limiter positively holds the replacement part with its holder part, in its axial position in the hand grip. The torques adjustable by the torque limited are below 10 Nm, especially between 5 and 6.5 Nm.

Abstract: Rotary cutoff
apparatus is provided
with a knife cylinder (1), which has a knife (2)
arranged on its outer circumferential surface and is
rotatably supported, and an anvil member (7) with which
a free edge of the knife (2) can be brought into contact
upon rotation of the knife cylinder (1), whereby a
travelling band-shaped sheet (101) is nipped between
the knife (2) and the anvil member (7) and is hence cut
off. The knife (2) is supported on the knife cylinder
(1) via a spring (36) having spring force sufficient to
bear cutting force required to cut off the band-shaped
sheet (101) so that the knife (2) is displaceable in a
loaded direction upon cutting off the band-shaped sheet
(101). The rotary cutoff apparatus
can be arranged, for example, in a
production line for a band-shaped sheet material such
as a corrugated fiberboard sheet. The apparatus permits
easy speed control without needing high-level skill or
technique and also allows ready replacement of its
anvil member.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur les procédés et appareils d'un système d'imagerie médicale particulièrement adapté, mais non exclusivement, à des interventions chirurgicales en liaison avec une lésion thoracique. L'image d'une partie de l'anatomie du patient peut s'afficher sur ordinateur. L'instrument de chirurgie et la lésion sont représentés, et par là, leurs positions relatives. Il est possible de suivre une partie de l'anatomie du patient à l'aide de marqueurs ou de capteurs indiquant des positions par rapport à un point de référence extérieur. Il est également possible de calculer et représenter les mouvements d'une lésion à l'intérieur de tissus mous en fonction de modifications de la position ou de la forme des tissus mous. On peut donc suivre la position d'une lésion en fonction des déformations du thorax consécutives à ses déplacements ou à sa manipulation pendant l'intervention. Le système peut présenter de nombreuses vues, les agrandir lorsque l'instrument est dans une position délicate, ou fournir d'autres signaux aidant le chirurgien pendant l'intervention. L'invention porte également sur les capteurs et instruments utilisés dans le système. Il est en outre possible d'enregistrer l'intervention pour la repasser.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de tamisage métrique, c'est-à-dire de triage ou de sélection, permettant d'obtenir efficacement un ensemble trié de métriques conservées pendant le décodage à recherche réduite d'abord en largeur de codes convolutionnels. Le mode de réalisation préféré met efficacement en oeuvre l'algorithme M en produisant un ensemble trié de métriques conservées M au moyen d'un nombre de comparaisons en temps linéaire (O(M). Pour atteindre cette efficacité, le procédé cloisonne des métriques de branches en sous-ensemble triés implicitement et il procède à une fusion efficace de ces sous-ensembles. Comparé à la technique actuelle, le nombre de comparaisons effectuées pour un tamisage métrique pendant le décodage par algorithmes M de codes convolutionnels binaires 1/n à la vitesse habituelle est réduit de 30 à 40 %, plus spécifiquement, le nombre de comparaison est réduit de (2n-1)M-(n-1) à n(M-1)+2n-1.

Abstract: A method of regulating the activity of human cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP2A6 to control nicotine metabolism or decrease the production of carcinogens from procarcinogens, such as those present in tobacco smoke, in an individual by selectively inhibiting CYP2A6. Various prophylactic (i.e., prevention and treatment) compositions and methods are also described, including an improved oral nicotine composition and method comprising the use of nicotine together with an inhibitor of the CYP2A6 enzyme. Furthermore, it has been discovered that the presence in an individual of a mutant allele of human cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2A6 (referred to throughout this specification as "CYP2A6" for brevity) is predictive of an individual who: (i) has a decreased risk of becoming a smoker, (ii) will smoke less if he/she becomes dependent, and/or (iii) may be at relatively lower risk for cancer due to both decreased smoke exposure and decreased CYP2A6-mediated activation of tobacco smoke and other procarcinogenic substrates. This invention provides diagnostic methods for predicting tobacco dependence risk and risk for cancers related to CYP2A6 substrates in an individual by analysing for the presence of a mutant genotype for human cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2A6 in an individual, ranging from gene duplication (multiple copies of CYP2A6) to single or even no copies due to null alleles or gene deletion.
