Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises an Si substrate, an isolation insulating film
formed on the Si substrate, an Si layer formed on the Si substrate, a gate oxide film formed
on the Si layer, a gate electrode formed on the gate oxide film, a sidewall formed on the
side face of the gate electrode, a gate silicide film formed on the gate electrode, source and
drain regions formed at both the sides of the gate electrode and including a part of the Si
layer, and a silicide film formed on the source and drain regions. Because the source and
drain regions are formed on a layer-insulating film so as to be overlayed, it is possible to
decrease the active region and cell area of a device. Thereby, a high-speed operation and
high integration can be realized.

Abstract: A numerical controller capable of precisely controlling
a machine tool having an axis (C-AXIS) for turning a
table with a simple machining program and easily coping
with variation of a tool length. A machining path is
commanded in a workpiece coordinate system (ΣW) turning
with a table. The commanded machining path for linear-motion
axes (X, Y, Z) is interpolated based on a
commanded machining velocity, to obtain interpolated
positions on the machining path. Also the commanded
motions for rotational-motion axes (A-AXIS, C-AXIS) are
interpolated to obtain interpolated positions for the
rotational-motion axes. The interpolated position for
the linear-motion axes is corrected based on the
interpolated position of the rotational-axes. The
servomotors for the linear-motion axes are driven based
on the corrected interpolated positions and the
servomotors for the rotational-motion axes are based on
the interpolated positions of the rotational-motion
axes. Since the workpiece coordinate system turns with
the table, a machining shape defined in the workpiece
coordinate system is realised on the workpiece turning
with table.

Abstract: An improved twin screw extruder device (14) is provided which is capable of producing a wide variety of high quality extrudates having greatly varying final properties, without the need for extensive machine modifications. The extruder (14) includes a barrel (16) together with a co-rotating twin screw assembly (22). The assembly (22) is made up of a pair of screws (50, 52) having central, tapered shafts (54, 56) equipped with outwardly extending helical flighting (58, 60); the screws (50, 52) are non-parallel and are positioned so that the flighting (58, 60) thereof is intercalated along the length of the screws (50, 52). The flighting is of specialized configuration and tapers along the length of the screws (50, 52) preferably at an angle of taper different than that of the shafts (54, 56); moreover, the width of the outer flighting surfaces (70, 72) increases along the length of the shafts (54, 56). This screw geometry defines a series of alternating upper and lower close-clearance high-pressure nip areas (78) defined by the flighting (58, 60) which serves to propel an extrudable mixture forwardly towards the outlet end (20) of the barrel (16). However, passageways (80) and kneading zones (82) are also defined between the screws (50, 52), which assures full mixing, shearing and cooking of the material. The extruder device (14) is capable of producing high density sinking aquatic feeds as well as expanded, low density products merely by changing the rotational speed of the screws (50, 52) together with appropriate temperature control. In another embodiment, a fluid extraction extruder (138) is provided having a specialized extruder head (140) including an outer shell (144) and an inner, elongated, slotted sleeve (152).
