Abstract: A vacuum plasma processor for treating a workpiece with an RF plasma has a plasma excitation coil including a peripheral portion supplying a substantial magnetic flux density to peripheral portions of the plasma. Additional conducting segments spatially adjacent to and electrically connected to a segment of the peripheral portion supply additional magnetic flux having a substantial magnetic flux density to the plasma peripheral portions. The additional conductor segments are in each of four corners of the coil, being connected electrically in parallel or series to coil conductor segments forming the corners. In another embodiment, the coil includes several nested conducting corner segments. In different embodiments, the corner segments are (1) coplanar with the remainder of the coil and (2) closer to the plasma than the remainder of the coil. The coil includes two electrically parallel, spiral like windings, each with an interior terminal connected to one output terminal of a matching network and an output terminal connected via a capacitor to another output terminal of the matching network. The capacitor values and the lengths of the windings relative to the plasma RF excitation wavelength are such that current flowing in the coil has maximum and minimum standing wave values in the peripheral and interior coil portions, respectively. The coil and workpiece peripheries have similar rectangular dimensions and geometries.

Abstract: A method of transmitting data in a packet radio network to a mobile station performing a routing area update. The packet radio network transmits data to the mobile station via a first support node. The mobile station sends a routing area update message to a second support node, which sends to the first support node a request for context data of the mobile station from the first support node. The first support node sends from its memory, end user data addressed to the mobile station to the second support node. It then waits for a predetermined period of time before sending the end user data to the second support node. The predetermined time may be fixed, depending preferably on the quality of service of the connection used by the mobile station. Alternatively the predetermined period of time expires when the second support note sends to the first support node a separate acknowledgement message indicating that the second support node has received the context data of the mobile station.

Abstract: For manufacturing substrate materials which are needed for the manufacture of electrical circuit carriers, methods are known in which metal layers are applied to a dielectric substrate by means of a glow discharge process and thereafter additional metal layers are applied by means of electroplating processes. These methods however are not suitable for the manufacture of substrate materials which are suitable for high frequency applications in the gigahertz range. The invention starts from the previously-mentioned methods and solves the described problem through the use of fluoropolymers and through coating of these materials by means of a glow discharge process with nickel, since by this means even very smooth surfaces of the substrate can be securely coated. The metallised materials can be coated with additional metal layers from electroless or electrolytic deposition baths.
