Abstract: A cleaning method for CVD apparatus wherein by-products such as SiO2 and Si3N4 adhered to and deposited on surfaces of the inner wall, electrodes and other parts of a reaction chamber at the stage of film formation can be removed efficiently. Furthermore, the amount of cleaning gas discharged is so small that the influence on environment such as global warming is little and cost reduction can be also attained. After the film formation on a base material surface by the use of CVD apparatus, a fluorinated cleaning gas containing a fluorcompound is converted to plasma by means of a remote plasma generator, and the cleaning gas having been converted to plasma is introduced into a reaction chamber so that any by-products adhered to inner parts of the reaction chamber is removed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The apparatus (30) has a movable member e.g. a rotary indicator (10) that is arranged to move through a regular path in dependence on an amount of a commodity measured by the meter. A light source (31) directs a beam towards a portion of the movable member which has a different reflectivity from a portion of its regular path (20). A photodetector (32) receives the reflected beam from the portion of the path. A control means (33) samples electrical output from the photodetector whilst the light source is not emitting, and samples the electrical output whilst the light is emitting to produce an output representative of the difference between the two sampled electrical outputs. It repeats the two samplings and produces an electrical signal at appropriate intervals. The output signal may be a pulse, and the control may change the signal to indicate the passage of the rotary indicator from a portion of its path. Thus the effect of the ambient light is eliminated, and a single sensor is used.

Abstract: Techniques "AND SYSTEM (10)" for detection and treatment of myocardial ischemia are described that monitor both the electrical and dynamic mechanical activity of the heart to detect and verify the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in a more reliable manner. The occurrence of myocardial ischemia can be detected by monitoring changes in an electrical signal such as an ECG or EGM, and changes in dynamic mechanical activity of the heart. Dynamic mechanical activity can be represented, for example, by a heart acceleration signal or pressure signal. The electrical signal can be obtained from a set of implanted or external electrodes (16,18,20;22,24,26)" . The heart acceleration signal can be obtained from an single- or multiple-axis accelerometer (88,108)" and/or a pressure sensor deployed within or near the heart. The techniques correlate contractility changes detected by an accelerometer or pressure sensor with changes in the ST electrogram segment detected by the electrodes (16,18,20;22,24,26)" to increase the reliability of ischemia detection.
