Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the provision of a dual damascene structure (20). This dual damascene structure (20) comprises a metal layer (1) with thereon a first dielectric layer (2) provided with a via (3). A second dielectric layer (5) is applied on the first dielectric layer (2) and is provided with an interconnect groove (6). The via (3) and the interconnect groove (6) are filled with a metal which forms a metal lead (9) with a top (10). The method further comprises the following steps: removing the second dielectric layer (5), applying a disposable layer (12) to the first dielectric layer (2) and the metal lead (9), planarizing the disposable layer (12) down to the top (10) of the metal lead (9), applying a porous dielectric layer (13) on the disposable layer (12), removing the disposable layer (12) through the porous dielectric layer (13) so as to form air gaps (14). According to the invention, the second dielectric layer (5) is used as a sacrificial layer in which the metal leads (9) are defined. By removing this layer (5) after defining the metal leads (9), the metal leads (9) stand out above the surface of the first dielectric layer (2). It is achieved by this that air gaps (14) can be formed next to the metal lead (9).

Abstract: An RF switch 12 is connected to a receiving unit 2 at a reception
timing. An RF signal received by an antenna 11 is inputted to an amplifying
unit 5 via an isolator 3 and an RF filter 4. The RF signal is subjected to
automatic gain amplification and is inputted to a demodulating unit 6. An
RSSI 61 detects the level of a reception signal. When the detection value is
over a threshold, a demodulator 62 controls the RF switch so as to change
the switch to a transmitting unit 7 which does not output and send the signal.
Consequently, the input of the receiving unit is largely attenuated. The
isolator maintains the matching of the input impedance of the amplifying unit
and ensures the low-noise property and stability, irrespective of a switching
state of the change-over switch.

Abstract: It has been discovered that herpesviruses can trigger an increase in the production of HIV-suppressive chemokines, and that these chemokines block the CCR5 receptor, which is used as a co-receptor with CD4 in the CCR5-tropic forms of HIV-1 that predominate in early stage HIV-1 infection. Use of live, attenuated or killed herpesviruses, or of herpesvirus proteins which trigger an increase in production of HIV-suppressive chemokines, or of nucleic acids encoding those proteins, can likewise be used to prevent establishment of HIV-1 infection or to inhibit HIV-1 replication. The invention provides uses, methods and compositions related to these discoveries.

Abstract: The process according to the present invention provides to perform, initially, on the surface of a stretchable film (F) to be reinforced, a plurality of microdamaging (ML) and to join thereafter the microdamaged film (F) with longitudinal reinforcing strips (S), pre-stretched and edged; said edgings are formed by folding inwardly the strip edges, causing thus a further stretching of the strips and a consequent increase of their mechanical resistance. Said strips (S), which are parallel to one another, cover definite zones of the surface of the film (F) and leave discovered the other zones, so that when the film is stretched beyond a certain elongation, only in zones non covered by the strips (S) tearings and slits are formed, which allows the transpiration of wrapped products. The above said slits form at the localized weakening zones and microdamagings (ML) provided in the film (F) itself.
