Patent EP-1122989-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA KENJI
IPC: H05K3/42
Filed: 2001-01-31
Abstract: A method of plating for filling via holes (14), in
which each via hole (14) formed in an insulation layer
(12) covering a substrate so as to expose, at its
bottom, part of a conductor layer (10) located on the
substrate, is plated with copper and filled with the
plated metal. The method comprises the steps of forming
a copper film (21) on the top surface of the insulation
layer (12) covering the substrate, and the side walls
and bottoms of the respective via holes (14), immersing
the substrate having the copper film (21) formed in an
aqueous solution containing a plating promoter to
thereby deposit the plating promoter (22) on the surface
of the copper film (21), removing the plating promoter
(21) from the surface of the copper film located on the
insulation layer (12) and leaving the plating promoter
(22) on the side walls and bottoms of the respective via
holes (14), and subsequently electroplating the
substrate with copper (23) to thereby fill the via holes
(14) and simultaneously form a continuous copper film
(23) which eventually covers the via holes filled with
the plated copper as well as the copper film (21)
previously formed on the insulation layer (12). The
method is suitable for satisfactorily filling via holes
(14), having a small diameter and a large aspect ratio,
with plated copper.

Abstract: A World Wide Web (Web) user is enabled to readily distinguish
received hypertext documents of special interest from other received
hypertext documents when he is backtracking through a sequence of documents
received at a receiving display station during a particular browsing
session. The user is enabled to designate a received hypertext document to
be of special interest in an implementation for tracking all hypertext
documents received at said receiving display station. The user may
interactively display a session history list of all tracked hypertext
documents received at said receiving display station during a Web access
session together with indications on the displayed history list of the
documents designated to be of special interest. The indicating
implementation may highlight the documents of special interest, e.g. by
using a different color for the documents of interest. 
     The procedure is particularly effective in systems, which in the
interest of simplicity and brevity, identify the listed Web documents in
the session history list by only the higher level domains in the listed Web
documents' addresses. In such history lists, one or more domain levels are
left out of each listed received document's address to thereby render the
listed documents in-distinguishable from each other. With the present
invention, the user has the benefit of highlighting to distinguish the
Web documents of interest which might otherwise be indistinguishable from
the session history list alone.

Abstract: The expansion device has a
linear shape and is divided in three parts, a central part (S1) and two
lateral parts (S2); the central part (S1) is triangular, with one side (S1s) along the
surface of the composite expansion device and the other two sides (S1e)
facing towards the two lateral parts (S2); the lateral parts (S2) have inclined
surface (S2e) in contact with the central part (S1); a hole (So) parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the expansion device passes through the
central part and the lateral parts and houses an expansion screw (Sv)
that, when tightened, brings the two lateral parts (S2) near each other,
thus causing the movement of the central part (S1) towards the
outside. The element (A) to be connected to the first linear element (M) is
provided with a hole to house the first linear element (M) and the
section of the expansion device is such as to adapt to the surface
of the linear element (M) and to the walls of the hole in the element (A)
that houses the first linear element. The hole in the clement (A) to be
connected to the first linear element (M) can have the generic shape of
a drop and consequently the cross section of the connection
device is similar to a trapezium, said trapezium having the minor
base arced, convex and radiused to the oblique sides, which are
such as to rest on the inner surface of the generically drop-shaped
hole, while the major base is shaped in such a way as to adapt to
the surface of the first linear element (M) to be connected.

IPC: B23B27/14

Abstract: Summary 
     
     The present invention describes a coated cutting
tool for metal machining. The coating is composed of one
or more layers of refractory compounds of which at least
one layer consists of fine-grained, crystalline γ-phase
alumina, Al 2 O 3 , with a grainsize less than 0.1 µm. The
Al 2 O 3 -layer is deposited with a bipolar pulsed DMS technique
(Dual Magnetron Sputtering) at substrate temperatures
in the range 450 °C to 700 °C, preferably 550 °C
to 650 °C, depending on the particular material of the
tool body to be coated. Identification of the γ-phase
alumina is made by X-ray diffraction. Reflexes from the
(400) and (440) planes occurring at the 2-angles 45.8
and 66.8 degrees when using Cu Kα  radiation identify the
γ-phase Al 2 O 3 . The alumina layer is also very strongly
textured in the [440]-direction. 
     In contrast to prior art, the Al 2 O 3 -layer is virtually
free of cracks and halogen impurities and, furthermore,
the Al 2 O 3 -layer gives the cutting edge of the tool
an extremely smooth surface finish which compared to
prior art α-Al 2 O 3  coated tools, results in an improved
surface finish also of the workpiece being machined, and
when coated cemented carbide cutting tools according to
the invention are used in the machining of steel or cast
iron, several important improvements compared to prior
art have been observed.

Abstract: A method is provided for use in a computer system to describe and obtain arbitrary data relating to a subject. The method provides a meta-language "Generic Object Oriented Description of Structured Data (GDL)" and a Parser. GDL allows a user to organize, define and describe subjects through the use of a schema known as a Template. Templates can be used to define the semantics for each subject element as well as, to define how each element fits into a larger data framework. Through the concept of Inheritance, Templates can be extended and defined to various levels of nesting, while still having a common core of properties. GDL allows the features and attributes of a subject to be quickly and readily extended or modified by altering a source file. A GDL parser provides a structured and hierarchical representation of the information, validation of text-entry semantics and a means to traverse through information obtained from the source file.

Abstract: Techniques for testing a sequential circuit comprising a plurality of flip-flops
or other types of registers. The circuit is first configured such that substantially all
feedback loops associated with the registers, other than one or more self-loops each
associated with a corresponding one of the registers, are broken. Test patterns are then
generated for application to the circuit. The test patterns are applied to the circuit in
conjunction with partitioned clock signals each of which is associated with a
corresponding level of the circuit containing at least one of the self-loops. In an
illustrative embodiment, a design for testability (DFT) structure is used to provide
partitioning of a master clock into multiple clock signals each associated with a
corresponding one of the levels of self-loops, so as to permit breaking of the feedback
loops other than the self-loops. The registers of the circuit may be arranged in the
particular levels by assigning a first one of the levels to each register which is fed only
by primary inputs (PIs) of the circuit, and then assigning to level  i  +1 every register that
is fed by other registers whose maximum level is  i , where  i =  1, 2, . . .  d , and  d  is the
sequential depth of the circuit. In addition, each of the levels of registers may have
multiple groups of registers associated therewith, with each of the groups being subject
to clocking by one of the partitioned clock signals through the operation of group
selection circuitry.
