Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection needle (1) for
injecting or retracting fluid through the skin of a mammal body and more
particularly to non-grinded needle tip-geometry for an injection needle
(1) for a reduced penetration force and reduced bleeding. The injection
needle (1) comprises of a needle shaft (8) having a centrally located
bore disposed along a longitudinal axis (12) connected to a hub (9) by
connecting means. The sharpened distal end (11) of the needle shaft (8)
has an exit port (13) and two bevels (16,17) surrounding the exit port
(13). The bevels (16,17) converge into a tip at the distal end to form a
cutting edge (18) and at the proximal end into a heel (19). The bevels

Abstract: When an SOI wafer is produced by using a bond
wafer made of silicon single crystal to form an SOI
layer and a base wafer made of silicon single
crystal to be a support substrate, one silicon
wafer selected from a group consisting of an
epitaxial wafer, an FZ wafer, a nitrogen doped
wafer, a hydrogen annealed wafer, an intrinsic
gettering wafer, a nitrogen doped and annealed
wafer, and an entire N-region wafer is used as the
bond wafer. Thereby, even where a thin insulator
film or a thin SOI layer is formed in the SOI wafer,
COPs are hardly detected in inspection of the SOI
layer after the SOI wafer was completed, and a high
quality SOI wafer is provided.

Abstract: A full phase shifting mask (FPSM) can be advantageously used in a damascene process for hard-to-etch metal layers. Because the FPSM can be used with a positive photoresist, features on an original layout can be replaced with shifters on a FPSM layout. Adjacent shifters should be of opposite phase, e.g. 0 and 180 degrees. In one embodiment, a dark field trim mask can be used with the FPSM. The trim mask can include cuts that correspond to cuts on the FPSM. Cuts on the FPSM can be made to resolve phase conflicts between proximate shifters. In one case, exposing two proximate shifters on the FPSM and a corresponding cut on the trim mask can form a feature in the metal layer. The FPSM and/or the trim mask can include proximity corrections to further improve printing resolution.

Abstract: The invention relates to encoding of an input sequence of digital images delivering a base and an enhancement layer bitstream for transmission of video data in real time over a fluctuating-rate transmission channel. The method distributes the encoded data for the images of said sequence between two subsequences of base and an enhancement layer and evaluates degree of occupation of two associated buffers. A notional (virtual, dummy) bi-directional image is created in one of the subsequences which is intended to receive stuffing data, when the degree of occupation on the buffer associated with said subsequences isbelow a predetermined threshold. This method enables the adding of stuffing data in a case not provided for by the MPEG-4 standard, for example, for a sequence encoded in the rectangular mode and having no (regularly coded) bi-directional images (B-frames) .
