Patent EP-1239514-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEE JIN-YUAN
IPC: H01L23/485
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: A barrier layer is deposited over a layer of passivation including in an
opening to a contact pad created in the layer of passivation. A column of three
layers of metal is formed overlying the barrier layer and aligned with the contact
pad and having a diameter that is about equal to the surface of the contact pad.
The three metal layers of the column comprise, in succession when proceeding
from the layer that is in contact with the barrier layer, a layer of pillar metal, a layer
of under bump metal and a layer of solder metal. The layer of pillar metal is
reduced in diameter, the barrier layer is selectively removed from the surface of
the layer of passivation after which reflowing of the solder metal completes the
solder bump of the invention.

Abstract: Single-electron transistors include first and second electrodes and an insulating layer between them on a substrate. The insulating layer has a thickness that defines a spacing between the first and second electrodes. At least one nanoparticle is provided on the insulating layer. Accordingly, a desired spacing between the first and second electrodes may be obtained without the need for high resolution photolithography. An electrically-gated single-electron transistor may be formed, wherein a gate electrode is provided on the at least nanoparticle opposite the insulating layer end. Alternatively, a chemically-gated single-electron transistor may be formed by providing an analyte-specific binding agent on a surface of the at least one nanoparticle. Arrays of single-electron transistors also may be formed on the substrate. The single-electron transistors may be fabricated by forming a post electrode on a substrate, conformally forming an insulating layer on at least a portion of the post electrode and conformally forming a second electrode on at least a portion of the insulating layer opposite the post electrode. At least one nanoparticle is placed on the insulating layer, between the post electrode and the second electrode.

Title: Nucleotides marques sur le phosphate de terminaison et methodes d'utilisation
Inventor: NELSON JOHN
IPC: C07H19/10
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes de détection d'un acide nucléique dans un échantillon, basées sur l'utilisation de nucléotides marqués sur le phosphate de terminaison en tant que substrats de polymérases d'acide nucléique. On utilise dans les méthodes de l'invention un analogue de polyphosphate de nucléoside, de polyphosphate de didéoxynucléoside ou de polyphosphate de déoxynucléoside présentant un fragment colorimétrique, chimiluminescent ou fluorescent, un marqueur de masse ou un marqueur électrochimique rattachés au phosphate de terminaison. Lorsqu'une polymérase d'acide nucléique utilise cet analogue en tant que substrat, un marqueur activable par une enzyme est présent sur le produit dérivé de polyphosphate inorganique du transfert de phosphoryle. Le clivage du produit de polyphosphate de transfert de phosphoryle via la phosphatase génère un changement pouvant être détecté dans le marqueur rattaché. L'invention concerne également une méthode de surveillance en temps réel de la synthèse d'ADN ou d'ARN et de détection d'un acide nucléique cible, utilisée lorsque l'analyse de la polymérase s'effectue en présence d'une phosphatase.

Patent EP-1470053-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOLTSHAUSER MARK
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: A can body with a jacket-like closed wall and a base constructed on one end of the can wall includes an external base covering in the form of a sheet material. The base covering is fixed into position on an annular connection region of the can body. The base covering can form a basically flat imprintable region in a main region that is surrounded by the connection region. If a bar code can be applied in this imprintable region, then a restriction of the configuration possibility of the can wall disappears. The base covering can form a stand region whereby a standing can body is only in contact with the support surface if necessary via the base covering, and consequently the occurrence of corrosion problems is prevented. A retaining device that leaves the base of a held can body free and a position fixing apparatus are used for fixing the base covering into position. A decorative foil on the exterior of the can wall can be overlapped by the base covering, which serves to prevent a detachment of the decorative foil on the base.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is disclosed including at least
a plurality of image bearing members, a plurality of image
forming units each including plural image forming members (3Y,3M,3C,3Bk) for
operating image forming steps onto each of the image bearing
members, and a further image bearing member (12), which are held
collectively on an image bearing member holding component,
image forming unit holding component and second image bearing
member holding component, respectively. By further providing
a contact/ detach mechanism adapted to detaching movements,
within said image forming apparatus, of the image bearing
member holding component and the second image bearing
member holding component in relation to the image forming unit
holding component, the mechanism is greatly simplified with
relatively simple and less expensive construction of the
mechanism disclosed herein, through eliminating plural contact/detach
mechanisms separately provided for the noted holding
components and also providing one integrating power sources for
use in driving plural units in common. As a result, the
previously known disadvantage in image forming apparatus such
as contact residue images which are unduly caused by continual
contact of the photoreceptors to image forming units and
intermediate transfer belt can be obviated, as an example.
A display on a cover covering the holding member is provided.

Abstract: Machine instructions comprising a bootstrap code are buried within a
critical component of an electronic game console where they cannot readily be
accessed or modified. A preloader portion in a read only memory (ROM) is
hashed by the bootstrap code and the result is compared to an expected hash value
maintained in the bootstrap code. Further verification of the boot-up process is
carried out by the preloader, which hashes the code in ROM to obtain a hash value
for the code. The result is verified against a digital signature value that defines an
expected value for this hash. Failure to obtain any expected result terminates the
boot-up process. Since the bootstrap code confirms the preloader, and the
preloader confirms the remainder of the code in ROM, this technique is useful for
ensuring that the code used for booting up the device has not been modified or
replaced.

Abstract: In a flange 61 provided at the suction port of a molecular pump, a hollow portion 72 is provided adjacently to a bolt hole 14. The hollow portion 72 is a through hole penetrating the flange 61. Thereby, a thin-walled portion 71 is formed between the bolt hole 14 and the hollow portion 72. If a shock in the direction of rotation of a rotor portion is provided to the molecular pump, for example, by the destruction of the rotor portion, the flange 61 slides in the direction of rotation of the rotor portion together with the molecular pump. Thereupon, a bolt fixing the flange 61 to a flange of a vacuum system hits the thin-walled portion 71, so that the thin-walled portion 71 is plastically deformed in the direction of arrow B. Thus, by the plastic deformation of the thin-walled portion 71, energy for rotating the molecular pump is consumed as energy for plastically deforming the thin-walled portion 71, so that the shock provided to the molecular pump is cushioned.
