Inventor: VERREPT PETER
IPC: G03C5/16
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: A method has been described for preparing a light-sensitive silver
halide photographic emulsion comprising performing at least three
distinct precipitation steps in an aqueous medium into a reaction
vessel, followed by desalting by means of flocculation and washing
or by means of ultrafiltration, said emulsion comprising a
colloidally stabilizing binder and {100} tabular silver halide
grains containing at least 50 mole % of silver chloride, wherein at
least 60 % by number of all grains is provided by said tabular
grains, and wherein said tabular grains exhibit an average aspect
ratio of at least 2, an average thickness of at most 0.25 µm with a
variation coefficient of at most 0.25, and an average equivalent
circular crystal diameter of 0.3 µm or more with a variation
coefficient of at most 0.20; 
said three distinct precipitation steps being a nucleation step and
two growth steps, said method being further characterized by
introducing after ending the said nucleation step one or more
crystal dislocation(s) onto nuclei formed in the said nucleation
step in order to provide anisotropic growth of the said nuclei into
{100} tabular grains, 
wherein introducing said crystal dislocation(s) is performed within
a time taking no longer than the time required to perform a first
physical ripening step after the nucleation step in order to get a
number of dislocation lines of less than 5, in one and the same
crystallographic plane, and 
wherein said physical ripening step between introducing said
dislocation(s) and growing the nuclei having said dislocation(s) in
a first growth step proceeds within a time interval from 2 to 10
minutes, and more preferably from 5 to 10 minutes.

Title: Method of manufacturing a bonding substrate
Inventor: TAKEI TOKIO
IPC: H01L27/12
Filed: 1998-01-08
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonding substrate is
disclosed. An oxide film is formed on at least one of two
semiconductor substrates, and the two substrates are brought
into close contact with each other via the oxide film. The
substrates are heat-treated in an oxidizing atmosphere in
order to firmly join the substrates together. Subsequently,
the peripheral portion of a device-fabricating substrate is
ground to a predetermined thickness, and an unjoined portion
at the periphery of the device-fabricating substrate is
completely removed through etching. The device-fabricating
substrate is then ground and/or polished in order to reduce
the thickness of the device-fabricating substrate to a
desired thickness. The step of grinding the peripheral
portion of the device-fabricating substrate to a
predetermined thickness is performed by relative and radial
movement of a grinding stone from the peripheral portion of
the substrate toward the center thereof. The method enables
grinding of a peripheral portion of the device-fabricating
substrate for the purpose of removing an unjoined portion
such that the device-fabricating substrate is ground to as
small a thickness as possible in order to increase
productivity while reducing costs. The method also prevents
damage from reaching the support substrate even when the
device-fabricating substrate is ground to such a small
thickness.

Abstract: A one-piece swimming goggle structure consisting of lens
frames, nose rest and protective pads. The swimming goggle
structure comprises a combined mount of the frame with no
less than one vertical rib partitioning no less than two
assembly areas through which the headband of the swimming
goggle may pass and wind over the rib so that when putting on
the swimming goggle, the pull force is absorbed by the rib to
ensure that the frame does not distort whilst distributing
the pull force during wear. The simplified structure enables
cost reductions in manufacture.
