Inventor: MARSTON KEVIN IAN MICHAEL
IPC: B01D24/12
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: A filter assembly for filtering pond or aquarium water comprises a container (1,2) with
an inlet chamber (15) having an upstream region (36) and a downstream outlet (13) leading
to an outlet chamber (22). A filter (16) is positioned in the inlet chamber (15) between
the upstream region (36) and the outlet (13). In use, progressive clogging of the filter
causes the water pressure in the upstream region (36) to rise until it reaches a
predetermined threshold when a normally-closed relief valve (28, 29) opens to allow water
to pass from the upstream region (36) to the outlet chamber (22) without passing through
the filter (16). The valve has a coloured valve stem (28) providing a visual indication that
the valve is open and that the filter is blocked and requires cleaning. In one embodiment,
the outlet chamber (22) contains a source (19) of ultra-violet radiation to which the flow
of water is exposed, regardless of whether the valve (28,29) is in the open or closed
condition.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a sheet guide unit for a
sheet-fed press which will prevent the sheet from flapping or fluttering,
and allow sheets of thinner paper to be conveyed smoothly even when a
skeleton cylinder, which is better suited to thicker papers, for preventing
the air streams exiting from both ends of the sheet guide surface from
colliding with the frame and causing turbulence. The sheet guide unit
according to this invention is provided under an intermediate cylinder or a
delivery cylinder (27), and separated from the cylinders by a small sheet
guide space (15) for guiding the sheet. It has a curved sheet guide
surface (1d) with which the lower surface of the cylinder creates the small
sheet guide space, an air supply chamber (2) which is behind the sheet
guide surface; a plurality of air vents (4) which vent air from the air supply
chambers into the small sheet guide space (15), so that the difference in
the velocity of the air flow above and below the sheet being conveyed
causes the sheet to be drawn toward the curved sheet guide surface and
suspended slightly above the curved sheet guide surface as the sheet is
conveyed; a pair of air aspiration chambers (3), which are provided
adjacent to the air supply chamber on the outer sides of the cylinder and
into which the air is aspirated; and an air guide fin (1a) for each aspiration
chamber, which is an outer extended portion of the curved sheet guide
surface into the air aspiration chamber, and serves for directing the air into
the air aspiration chamber. The volume of air drawn out from the air
aspiration chambers (3) on either side of the cylinder is larger than the
volume of air aspirated into the air aspiration chambers, so that a negative
pressure in the vicinity of the both ends of the sheet guide surface is
created.

Abstract: An optical connector ferrule (11) has an optical fiber containing hole (16) reaching from
the rear end surface (11b) near the end surface (17) and a fine pore (14) extending from
the optical fiber accommodating hole (16) to the end surface (17) to be connected. A
bare fiber (15b) of a polarization-maintaining optical fiber (15) is inserted into the fine
pore (14). Since the length of the fine pore (14) is short, the influence of the uniformness
of the adhesive in the fine pore (14) is smaller, and therefore the stress distribution is
maintained, resulting in stabilizing the polarization characteristics. A flange unit (18) is
attached to the ferrule (11) after an optical fiber (15) is inserted to the ferrule (11) and
fixed. Therefore the optical fiber (15b) is easily adjusted with respect to the housing in
the circumferential direction around the axis, and optical fibers are connected by but
joining with high accuracy.

Abstract: To provide an egg inspecting method capable of detecting
abnormal eggs with high accuracy irrespective of the sizes of the eggs,
and a device used for implementing the method. 
     A normalizing section divides a first signal supplied via a first
band-pass filter for passing a wavelength which is absorbed to a large
degree by internal abnormality by a second signal supplied via a second
band-pass filter for passing a wavelength which is absorbed to a
different degree depending on the color of the egg shell, divides a third
signal supplied via a third band-pass filter for passing a wavelength
which is absorbed to a small degree by internal abnormality by the second
signal, and supplies the results to a difference calculating section.
The difference calculating section calculates the difference between
the results, supplies it to a judging section. The judging section
compares the supplied difference with a threshold value, judges that
the egg is an abnormal egg if the supplied difference is equal to or
greater than the threshold value, and outputs a signal.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a halo implant to a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method and system comprises providing a thin photoresist layer to the semiconductor device. The method and system further includes providing the halo implant to the appropriate area of the semiconductor device. Accordingly, in a system and method in accordance with the present invention, a photoresist that is capable of thinner profile, i.e., DUV photoresist is utilized. This will allow one to lower the photoresist thickness to the proposed 1000A (in the field) or lower if the process allows. With this photoresist thickness, taking into account other height variables, the source and drain regions can be opened only as needed. At a 45° angle, the implant can be delivered to all transistors in the circuit in the targeted area as well as getting only a large amount of the dose (up to 3/4 of the dose) to the transistor edge which sits on the trench edge. This will also minimize the counter doping of the source drain with the opposite species as is required by the definition of the halo process. In the smaller geometries of 0.18 um technologies and lower, the gate height will actually work to advantage and help reduce unwanted counter doping of the source/drain area. In this way the counter doping can be maintained to an absolute minimum. The final advantage is that with the thinner photoresist, we will enhance our ability to provide the implant to smaller geometries.
