Title: Wafer polishing apparatus and polishing quantity detection method
IPC: B24B37/30
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: Wafer polishing apparatus comprises a rotatable polishing platen which carries a polishing cloth, a wafer carrier 412 and a pad 611 and 612 arranged around a wafer which contacts the cloth at a predetermined pressure. The apparatus also comprises a detector 51 and 52 which measures the position of the pad relative to the back of the wafer or the wafer carrier 412. A temperature sensor 72 measures the temperature in the neighbourhood of the detector 51 and 52. The amount of polishing performed is calculated based on the signal from the detector 51 and 52 corrected by the measured temperature. The amount of polishing may also be corrected using measurements from temperature sensors 73 and 74 lying between the detector 51 and 52 and the back of the wafer and between the detector 51 and 52 and the portion of the pad 612 facing the polishing cloth. The temperature sensors 72-74 compensate for the different amounts of thermal expansion experienced by the apparatus during polishing.

Title: Method and device for a time zone based call handling system
IPC: H04M1/72436
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: Records are maintained of both the normal home network and time zone of the user of the device and also the network and time zone in which the device is operating. A comparison of these records, optionally in conjunction with other relevant information such as caller identity information (CID) or the user's contacts or address book information, is used for incoming call management. For example, a call received at an antisocial time in the user's current location is not passed to the user, with a recorded message being played to the caller, preferably in the language of the caller, specifying the time zone in which the user is currently located, along with the local time. The caller may then abort the call without disturbing the recipient, divert to voicemail, or continue with the call if it still considered sufficiently urgent with the information then known to the caller. The call management system may self cancel when the user returns to the home network and time zone.

Patent GB-8323669-D0 (GB)
Title: Gasket
IPC: F16J15/12
Filed: 1983-09-03
Abstract: A method of making a gasket by pressing particles of expanded graphite in a mould onto the opposed faces of an apertured reinforcement plate to compact the particles and unite them with the plate makes use of a mould assembly comprising a base plate, first and second moulding rings, and a moulding punch which is apertured to conform with the apertures of the reinforcement plate. The first and second moulding rings are positionable above the base plate to form lower and upper mould recesses, into which expanded graphite is successively charged, so enclosing the apertured reinforcement plate. The punch is then operated to compact the graphite particles and unite them with the reinforcement plate. Compaction in the mould assembly can produce either the finished gasket or at least a composite whose graphite layers are firm enough to be handled outside the mould assembly to permit further compaction. The method is specially applicable to the manufacture of cylinder head gaskets for internal combustion engines.
