Patent EP-0806834-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BURKHART VINCENT E
IPC: H01L21/683
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electrostatic chuck
containing apparatus, and a concomitant method, for
balancing the electrostatic force that the chuck
imparts upon a workpiece. More specifically, the
electrostatic chuck (100) contains a chuck body (110)
having a pair of coplanar electrodes (106) embedded
therein and a wafer spacing mask (102) containing a
plurality of conductive support members (118)
deposited upon a support surface of the chuck body.
The support members maintain a wafer, or other
workpiece, in a spaced-part relation with respect to
the support surface of the chuck body. Each electrode
(106) within the chuck is respectively connected to a
terminal dual voltage power supply (126) having a
centre tap (132). The centre tap of the power supply
is connected to the wafer spacing mask (102). As
such, variations in the distance between the wafer and
the electrodes due to variations in dielectric
thickness, wafer backside roughness, chuck surface
roughness, chuck surface conductivity or other
physical variations that may cause changes in the
electrostatic force are balanced by having the spacing
mask connected to the centre tap of the power supply.

Abstract: The method is adapted for application in situ on an existing hard subsoil of one or more groups of tight interrupted ribs (3) parallel to each other, which as a group form a desired path width. Use is made of epoxy resins with additives, amongst which quartz powder in order to increase the strength against wear. The ribs (3) formed have a rectangular vertical cross-section which is easily perceptible for visually handicapped persons with their cane or foot. As a result of the sharp corners the attention value is high, notwithstanding the fact that the rib is low. This gives a minimum of inconvenience for other users of the path and the ribs can easily be maintained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention automatically and quickly digitizes small
format films, such as dental radiographs, and processes digital images. The
radiographs are scanned using a flat-bed scanner with a transparency adapter. A
template is used during image capture to assist in proper exposure during the
digitization step to minimize undesired flare. Exposure levels are adjusted to
accommodate the wide variability that can be found in processed films. A user
interface is provided that will automatically bound the region of the platen to be
scanned so that image processing can be accommodated on an image by image
basis. An image tonescaling algorithm is implemented to render the image for
soft copy display on an electronic display or other output device.

Abstract: The dividing lines (T) between raised and depressed areas are arranged in three groups and those of different groups intersect each other at 60 degrees to form a lattice of equal sided triangles. A similar structure is formed in a lamella with raised areas having a linear high point and depressed areas with a point-like tip or a depression with a linear low point and a raised area with point-like tip. Independent claims are included for: (a) a tire vulcanizing mold including the above lamella (1); and (b) a vehicle tire in which some or all cuts in the tread are formed by the lamellae. Preferred Features: Each raised area comprises an equal sided triangular base and a raised pyramid and each depression the reverse of this. The three base lines of each pyramid lie centrally between the tip of a raised pyramid and the lowest point of a depressed pyramid and each base line of a raised pyramid is adjacent to the base line of a depressed pyramid. A lamella may have raised and depressed pyramids with pointed tips coupled with raised and depressed pyramids having linear high or low points projecting from the flat reference surface along the dividing lines (T), the sequence of pyramids being one raised followed by three depressed instead of alternate raised and depressed. An alternative to the flat reference surface may be arched as a cylinder or polygonal prism or an alternating sequence of these creating a wave form.

driving circuit 2, thereby discontinuing the carrier of
the microwave band to be externally entered and performing
ASK modulation (binary ASK), and provides a desired ASK
