Patent EP-0746013-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WALLACE ROBERT M
IPC: H01L21/304
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: A method of cleaning and treating a device, including those of the micromechanical (10) and semiconductor type. The surface of a device, such as the landing electrode (22) of a digital micromirror device (10), is first cleaned with a supercritical fluid (SCF) in a chamber (50) to remove soluble chemical compounds, and then maintained in the SCF chamber until and during the subsequent passivation step. Passivants including PFDA and PFPE are suitable for the present invention. By maintaining the device in the SCF chamber, and without exposing the device to, for instance, the ambient of a clean room, organic and inorganic contaminants cannot be deposited upon the cleaned surface prior to the passivation step. The present invention derives technical advantages by providing an improved passivated surface that is suited to extend the useful operation life of devices, including those of the micromechanical type, reducing stiction forces between contacting elements such as a mirror and its landing electrode. The present invention is also suitable for cleaning and passivating other surfaces including a surface of semiconductor wafers, and the surface of a hard disk memory drive.

Abstract: An air cleaning system (1) having a forced negative pressure generating function is provided for defining a space (5) in a room for utilizing the space as a smoking area or the like in which contaminated air such as smoke is prevented from flowing out of the space and is cleaned. The air cleaning system having a forced negative pressure generating function has an air curtain producing unit having a blow-out port (4) for producing air curtains (3) to surround a predetermined space, an air sucking unit having a suction port (8) open to the predetermined space defined by the air curtains for sucking air in the predetermined space, an air exhausting unit (10) having an exhaust port (9) open to the outside of the predetermined space (5) for exhausting air sucked by the air sucking means to the outside of the predetermined space (5), an air cleaner unit (11) interposed between the exhaust port (9) and the suction port (8), and an air cleaner body supported by a plurality of stems for accommodating the components. An amount of air exhausted from the exhausted port (9) is set larger than an amount of air externally involved by the air curtains from the outside of the predetermined space (5) to produce a negative pressure in the predetermined space (5) defined by the air curtains (3). In this way, the negative pressure in the predetermined space prevents contaminated air such as smoke from leaking therefrom, and the air cleaner unit (11) cleans such contaminated air before it is exhausted from the predetermined space (5).

Abstract: To control the ignition time of an internal combustion engine, a sensor registers the total pressure development through the crank angle in the cylinder. The pressure run is divided into sectors (I-IV) from a crank angle of -180 degrees to a negative integration angle (-  alpha ) established on test, from the integration angle to the upper dead point, from the upper dead point to a positive integration angle ( alpha ), and from there to a crank angle of 180 degrees . The integration angle ( alpha ) is at a defined gap from the combustion point centre (S) to show a condition where 50% of the fed fuel has been consumed. The four sectors give surfaces (A1,A2) on either side of the combustion point centre where A1=III-II and A2=IV-I. A form factor (Fa) is established by A1-A2 x Fa to give the relationship of rotary speed and loading. The angular gaps of the combustion centre point from the upper dead point are established by A1=A2 x Fa= alpha . The ignition angles are adjusted under test, to bring them to the nominal settings.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for playing back a
recorded voice message, and, in particular, for
automatically playing back a spoken numeric portion of
the message at a rate that is slower than the rate for
playing back the remaining portion of the recorded voice
message. A voice messaging system receives and analyzes
the voice message. Specifically, the messaging system
determines whether the voice message includes spoken
numeric information and, if so, determines the relative
position of the spoken numeric information within the
message. The computer system stores both the voice
message and the positional information in a storage
device. Upon playback of the message, the messaging
system retrieves the stored voice message and positional
information from the storage device. As the voice
message is played back, the messaging system processes
the positional information. When the positional
information indicates that a particular portion of a
voice message includes spoken numeric information, that
particular portion is played back at a decreased speed.

Abstract: In an electron microscope it is sometimes important that specimens can be studied at a very low temperature (for example, that of liquid helium). In the case of known specimen holders the specimen is cooled by supplying the cooling medium via a bore in the specimen holder; this causes thermal drift of the removed specimen holder each time when a specimen is exchanged, and also an acoustic coupling (i.e. transfer of vibrations) exists with the dewar vessel connected to the specimen holder. In accordance with the invention, the specimen is arranged on the end (20) of the specimen holder (7) by means of a separate transport unit (13, 36) so that it is not necessary to remove the specimen holder (7) in order to exchange a specimen, with the result that the specimen holder is not heated. Moreover, the coupling to the cold source (22, 28) can take place via a flexible cooling conduit (30) which extends directly to the end (20) to be cooled and may be permanently connected thereto, thus avoiding the transfer of vibrations.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système (10) et un procédé selon lequel on utilise un générateur de modulation de phase (12) pour moduler le signal de sortie d'un synthétiseur numérique direct (18) avec un indice de modulation h/N. La sortie du synthétiseur numérique direct modulé en phase commande une boucle à phase asservie (26) constituant un étage de conversion-élévation d'un émetteur radio. La commande se fait au moyen d'un signal modulé que le synthétiseur numérique direct fournit comme référence à la boucle à phase asservie (26). La sortie de la boucle à phase asservie (26) aura un indice de modulation h. La sortie du synthétiseur numérique direct (18) a, par conséquent, une bande de fréquence nettement plus étroite que celle des étages de conversion-élévation utilisés dans les émetteurs traditionnels et le signal transmis contient beaucoup moins de rayonnements parasites. Un émetteur utilisant la présente topologie de boucle à phase asservie commandée par un synthétiseur numérique direct modulé en phase peut ainsi continuer à émettre sur une bande de fréquence relativement large.
