Abstract: A system is provided to prepare deionized water having a
100% saturated concentration of a gas, e.g., nitrogen, at a
hot temperature, e.g., 50-85°C, and an attendant pressure,
e.g., atmospheric pressure, to clean a semiconductor wafer,
e.g., of silicon. The gas concentration of deionized water
having a predetermined concentration of the gas at a cold
temperature, e.g., 15-30°C, is adjusted in a degassifier
chamber having a vacuum pump and a pressure sensor, to provide
an under-saturated concentration of the gas at the cold
temperature corresponding to the saturated concentration
thereof at the hot temperature and attendant pressure. The
adjusted gas concentration water is then heated in a heating
vessel having a heater and a temperature sensor, to the hot
temperature to form a hot bath having such saturated gas
concentration to clean the wafer, e.g., in a cleaning tank
under megasonic vibrations. A controller is connected to the
pump, pressure sensor, heater and temperature sensor to
control the chamber pressure and vessel temperature.

Abstract: A demodulation system (12) used in connection with an analog optical link (14)
that provides a wide dynamic range and SNR potential for large RF signal
bandwidths. An optical carrier signal modulated with an RF signal is applied to an
optical splitter (30) in the demodulation system (12) that splits the signal into first and
second carrier signals. One of the carrier signals is applied to a coarse demodulator
(34) that provides either PM or FM demodulation to generate a demodulated signal
representative of the signal that includes the RF signal and the additive inverse of an
error signal. The error signal includes the theoretical minimum noise floor, as well as
excess noise and distortion introduced by the coarse demodulator when the
frequency or phase deviation is large. The output from the coarse demodulator (34)
is inverted, and integrated in the FM case, and then applied to a phase modulator
(56) along with the second optical carrier signal from the optical splitter (30). The
phase modulator (56) modulates the optical carrier signal with the additive inverse of
the demodulated signal from the coarse demodulator (34) so that the portion of the
RF signal occurring in both the optical carrier signal and the demodulated signal are
cancelled, and the optical carrier signal is modulated with the error signal. The
modulated carrier signal, which now has a small frequency or phase deviation, is
applied to a fine demodulator (60) that demodulates the signal to generate the error
signal. The error signal and the demodulated signal from the coarse demodulator
(34) are then combined, and what remains is a substantial copy of the RF signal with
minimal excess noise and distortion. Unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers 
(32, 62) and photodetectors (36, 38, 64, 66) can be provided in the coarse
demodulator (34) and the fine demodulator (60) to provide the demodulation.

Abstract: In a RISC or CISC processor supporting the IEEE 754 Not-a-Number (NaN)
standard and of the kind comprising a load/store unit, a register unit and an arithmetic
logic unit, and wherein the load/store unit has an error flag for marking a datum
loaded to the load/store unit following a load which has completed, but resulted in an
error, the processor is provided with a bit pattern generator operatively arranged in an
output path from the load/store unit to at least one of the register unit and the
arithmetic logic unit so that a Not-a-Number value for the invalid datum is loaded into
a destination one of the floating-point registers or the arithmetic logic unit. The
arithmetic logic unit is configured to propagate the Not-a-Number value as a Quiet-Not-a-Number
(QNaN) value through its operations. The QNaN value may be tested
for in a datum by a system software command code provided for that purpose. In other
embodiments of the invention, similar functionality is provided for integer registers
using poison/valid bits in conjunction with an arithmetic logic unit designed to
propagate the poison/valid bits through its operations. An advantage to be gained by
this design is that it becomes possible to delay testing the results of a non-faulting load,
since the QNaN-like symbolic entity will propagate with the results of operations on an
invalid datum, thereby keeping track of the integrity of the data.

Abstract: According to the present invention, balanced-unbalanced converter means is
installed across an unbalanced transmission line and a first antenna element and a
second antenna element pairing therewith, which are installed retractably and
pullably, and by retracting and pulling the first antenna element, the first and second
antenna elements are supplied with an electric power from the unbalanced
transmission line through the balanced-unbalanced converter means to work them as
antenna. Thus, when the first and second antenna elements work as the antenna, it is
prevented that the leaked current flows from the first and second antenna elements to
the grounding member by the balanced-unbalanced converter action of the
balanced-unbalanced converter means through the unbalanced transmission line, and
hence, the work of the grounding member as the antenna can be prevented. As a
result, deterioration of the performances of antenna near the human body can be
greatly reduced and thus, the antenna apparatus and a portable radio set can be
realized to reduce greatly deterioration of speech quality.
