Patent EP-0588371-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FUKADA TSUYOSHI
IPC: H01L21/3063
Filed: 1993-09-20
Abstract: It is intended to provide an etching method for semiconductor devices in which the etching depth or the thickness of a thin thickness portion (5-8) can be precisely controlled. According to experiment results, when a P-type substrate in which an N-type epitaxial layer is formed is immersed in an etching solution such as KOH or the like, and a voltage for reverse bias of PN junction is applied between an electrode plate opposing the substrate and the epitaxial layer to perform electrochemical etching, it has been found that the distance from the PN junction plane to the etching stop position is approximately equal to a depletion layer width at the substrate side of the PN junction portion. Namely, the etching stops at the forward end of the depletion layer. Therefore, the junction depletion layer width at the substrate side is controlled to be a size obtained by subtracting a necessary depth for etching from a thickness of the semiconductor substrate except for the semiconductor layer, so that the etching depth or the thickness of the thin thickness portion remaining after etching can be precisely controlled.

Abstract: The present invention is an anhydrous process for preparing organosiloxy endblocked polyorganosiloxanes from chlorine end-terminated polyorganosiloxanes. The process comprises contacting an anhydrous mixture comprising a chlorine end-terminated polyorganosiloxane and an organodisiloxane with a rearrangement catalyst, where the rearrangement catalyst facilitates a chlorine and organosiloxy exchange between the chlorine end-terminated polyorganosiloxane and the organodisiloxane forming a organochlorosilane as a by-product. The organochlorosilane is continuously removed from the process providing a means by which the chlorine displaced from the chlorine end-terminated polyorganosiloxane can be effectively removed from the organosiloxy endblocked polyorganosiloxanes in a useable form. The present process is especially useful for the rearrangement of chlorine end-terminated polyorganosiloxanes having one or more hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon to organosiloxy endblocked polyorganohydrosiloxanes.

Abstract: The sensor device is capable of detecting the occurrence of a fire and the type of the fire. The sensor device includes a detection element (1) made of an organic semiconductor element or an inorganic semiconductor element which varies in characteristic value (e.g. resistance) in response to both gas produced in a flaming-type fire and a smouldering-type fire. The variation in resistance caused by gas produced in a flaming-type fire is different in polarity from the variation caused by gas produced in a smouldering-type fire. The resistance of the detection element (1) is extracted by a resistance extractor (11) and then fed to a resistance decrease discriminator (12) and a resistance increase discriminator (13), whereby a decrease or increase in resistance of the detection element (1) is discriminated. An information output circuit (14) outputs a predetermined signal (Y1, Y2, Y3) depending on the discrimination results provided by the discriminators (12, 13), to thereby indicate occurrence of a fire (signal Y1) and the type of the fire (signal Y2 or signal Y3).

Abstract: A sigma-delta technique is used to generate a digital representation of the incoming analog signal amplitude. The integration stage (14,16) of the converter holds an analog error term relative to the ratio of an incoming analog input signal to a reference voltage (Vref). The incoming analog signal is disconnected at the end of the conversion. The error term is monitored through a comparator (15) as charge packets are applied to the input of the integration stage (14,16). The number of charge packets needed to have the error term cross zero is derived from an auxiliary counter (30), and this number provides information which can be used to extend the resolution of the analog to digital converter.

Abstract: A frequency hopping spread spectrum wireless data communications network is disclosed. Time mark frames are transmitted by each base station at a regular cadence and each time mark frame contains all information necessary to determine the hopping sequence of channels, a sub-set of possible channels in use, and the particular channel upon which the time mark was transmitted. Receipt of the time mark resynchronizes a slot clock that is used by the wireless terminals in implementing a media access protocol with defined synchronous time slots. The base station to roaming terminal radio link is half duplex. Each base station broadcasts an end-of-message frame during a hop period that indicates that it has no more data to send during that hop. If there are no outbound messages a roaming terminal needs to send, it puts its receiver in a low power mode until the next hop time approaches. Look ahead acquisition of the hopping sequence for a nearby base station when the received signal level for the current base station drops is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of configuring a distributed computer system. The method comprises inputting to the system how much processor capacity is required by each application subfunction executing on the system, and how many processors each application subfunction must run on. The processors form a Redundancy Domain. All Resources, grouped together in Distribution Units (D.U.), are distributed over the processors in said Redundancy Domain in proportion to the capacity of the processors and taking into account expected load on the processors, the expected load optionally being based on historical data of processor load. A Redundancy Relocation Scheme is created by assigning at least one other processor within said Redundancy Domain to each D.U., in case of a need to relocate a D.U. to other processors due to load imbalances or other malfunctions in the system.

Abstract: Methods for processing whole blood for nucleic acid analysis of microorganisms which may be present are provided. The methods eliminate inhibitors which interfere in particular with enzymatic nucleic acid reactions and are also compatible with conventional culturing techniques. It has been found that selective lysis of red blood cells with certain lysis buffers, followed by centrifugation at 5,000-15,000 xg for 5-30 min. and washing with water, saline, physiological buffers, or buffers compatible with nucleic acid analysis removes inhibitors of nucleic acid reactions which are present in whole blood or are introduced by reagents used in the sample processing protocol. The method therefore allows nucleic acid analysis of large samples of whole blood without interference from inhibitors, thereby improving the sensitivity of the nucleic acid analysis.
