Title: Oil-pressure device
Inventor: MORIKAWA SUMIO
IPC: E02F3/96
Filed: 1998-01-07
Abstract: An oil-pressure cylinder in a crushing device is connected to a crushing
jaw via a pivot shaft so that the crushing jaw can open and close. The
extension of oil-pressure cylinder causes the crushing jaw to close and crush
the object to be crushed. Oil-pressure cylinder has a piston with a greater
pressure-receiving area on the head side than on the rod side. An acceleration
valve serves to switch the extension/retraction operations of the oil-pressure
cylinder. During a rod unloaded interval, beginning when the crushing jaw
starts to close and ending when the crushing jaw comes into contact with the
object to be crushed, the acceleration valve makes communication between a
head-side port and a rod-side port in the cylinder continuous, while the oil
path from the rod side to a tank is blocked. The oil from the rod side is made
to flow to the head side. This speeds up the movement of the rod in the
closing operation during the unloaded interval before the crushing jaw comes
into contact with the object being held on a fixed jaw at which time
communication of the head-side oil-port with the rod-side oil port is
interrupted.

Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a cam assembly which holds the load
blade in contact with the line strap during normal operation. The cam assembly
includes a cam surface on a cam which can slide along the load blade and a
bearing surface on the load blade. In normal operation, the cam is biased on the
load blade so that the cam surface engages the bearing surface. The force applied
by the cam surface to the bearing surface in normal operation is approximately
parallel to the force applied by the load blade to the line strap, thus, the cam
surface does not tend to slide along the bearing surface during normal operation.
When a high overcurrent fault occurs, blow-open forces exerted between the load
blade and the line strap cause the cam to pivot to a position where the cam surface
no longer engages the bearing surface, allowing the load blade to swing free of the
cam and break the contact between the load blade and the line strap. As the load
blade swings free of the cam, it engages a further cam surface of the cam which
reduces the biasing force essentially to zero, thereby increasing the opening speed
of the blade. In addition, the frictional force of the further cam surface against the
load blade prevents the load blade from reestablishing contact with the line strap
until the mechanism trips, keeping the load blade in the open position.

Abstract: A simulation method of Si oxidation is provided, which
decreases the simulation time. A diffusion equation of oxidant
is solved at individual nodes in a SiO 2  region to calculate the
surface concentration of the oxidant at the Si/SiO 2  interface,
resulting in the first value of the surface concentration of the
oxidant at each of the nodes in the present time step. Then, the
first value of the surface concentration of the oxidant at each
of the nodes in the SiO 2  region is adjusted to generate the second
value of the surface concentration of the oxidant at each of the
nodes in the SiO 2  region in the present time step. Also, the second
value of the surface concentration of the oxidant in the present
time step is set as zero with respect to one of the nodes where
the thickness increase of the SiO 2  region has a value equal to
or less than the specific small value. Simultaneously with this,
the first value of the surface concentration of the oxidant is
stored for a next time step. The stored first value of the surface
concentration of the oxidant is added to a first value of the
surface concentration of the oxidant obtained in the next time
step, thereby producing a second value of the surface
concentration of the oxidant in the next time step. The second
value of the surface concentration of the oxidant is used in
calculation of the thickness increase of the SiO 2  region.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor MOS device, and a device so fabricated,
wherein there is initially provided a semiconductor substrate having a gate insulator layer
thereon and intimate therewith. A region of one of a nitride or oxynitride is formed at the
surface region of the layer remote from the substrate having sufficient nitride to act as a
barrier against the migration of dopant therethrough to the substrate. A doped polysilicon
gate or a metal gate is then formed over the region of a nitride or oxynitride. The amount
of nitride in the insulator layer intimate and closely adjacent to the substrate is insufficient
to materially alter the characteristics of the device being fabricated. The substrate is
preferably silicon, the oxide and nitride are preferably those of silicon and the dopant
preferably includes boron. The step of forming a region of one of a nitride or oxynitride
includes the step of injecting neutral atomic nitrogen into the surface of the gate insulator
layer surface remote from the substrate. The region of one of a nitride or oxynitride is
from about 1 to about 2 monolayers.
