Patent EP-0877415-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHEUNG DAVID
IPC: H01L21/31
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for depositing a
two-layer structure, including an antireflective coating and a dielectric layer,
without any intervening process steps, such as a cleaning step. The invention is
capable of providing more accurate and easier fabrication of structures by
reducing inaccuracies caused by the reflection and refraction of incident radiant
energy within a photoresist layer used in the patterning of the dielectric layer.
Additionally, the antireflective coating of the present invention may also serve as
an etch stop layer during the patterning of a layer formed over the antireflective
coating.

Abstract: Measurement is made of a time of lapse (TMSTB - TM)
from the time at which the hydraulic pressure of the
hydraulic engaging element on engaging side to be engaged
at the time of speed changing (ON pressure) has increased
to a predetermined pressure (QUPONB). Even if an input
and output speed ratio of the transmission ("Gratio") does
not fall within a predetermined range, i.e., a range
between YG(N + 1)L and YG(N + 1)H, which serves as a basis
for judging whether the speed changing has been completed
or not, a processing of speed change completion (S11) is
performed when the above-described value TMSTB-TM has
reached a predetermined value YTMUP4 (S32), to boost the
ON pressure to the line pressure.

Abstract: A blade (25) is pressed against a developing roller (21)
for regulating the amount of toner which is deposited on a surface
of the developing roller (21). The blade (25) is formed with
a slant face (25a) at its tip end, to which the toner is
transported along a direction of rotation of the developing
roller (21). An angle of aperture  at a toner inlet portion
defined by the developing roller (21) and the slant face (25a)
is set at 12.5° or more, the angle of aperture counting in an
angle ψ of the slant face (25a), elastic deformation and radius
(R) of the developing roller (21), and an angle α related to a
nip width w on which the blade contacts with the developing roller
(21). Such an angle of aperture  provides a great allowance
for a free length ℓ of the blade (25), thereby permitting the
blade to maintain a constant toner mass for forming a uniform
toner layer.

Inventor: WALDHAUER ANN P
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A method for determining a wafer characteristic,
such as the surface quality of a film formed on the
wafer, using a film thickness monitor is described.
In one embodiment, the method comprises the following
steps. A measured spectrum for a processed wafer is
generated (100). A set of parameters is chosen and
then used to generate a calculated spectrum (101;
103). The measured spectrum is compared to the
calculated spectrum to determine if the two spectra
match (105). If the two spectra do not match or the
degree of nonconformity between the two spectra is
greater than an acceptable error value, then there is
probably a defect with the processed wafer. For
example, the film formed on the wafer may have a
nonuniform or hazy surface quality.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for a thin-class
that uses a logical object in a client-server environment. The logical object contains
programmed-methods and instance variables. The logical object is used exactly like
traditional OOP objects, but the programmed methods for the logical object can be distributed
between the client and server. Thus, a method invocation on a logical object automatically
determines whether the method is located on the client or on the server. If the method is
located on the server the logical object automatically establishes communication with the
server method transparently to the programmer who invoked the method.

Abstract: An optical amplification device which includes first and second optical
amplifiers, and a controller. The first optical amplifier receives a light and
amplifies the received light. The second optical amplifier receives the light
amplified by the first optical amplifier, and amplifies the received light. When
a level of the light received by the first optical amplifier changes by Δ, the
controller controls a level of the light received by the second optical amplifier to
change by approximately -Δ. In various embodiments, the controller causes the
sum of the gains of the first and second optical amplifiers to be constant. In
other embodiments, the optical amplification device includes first and second
optical amplifier and a gain adjustor. The gain adjustor detects a deviation in
gain of the first optical amplifier from a target gain, and adjusts the gain of the
second optical amplifier to compensate for the detected deviation.

comprises a stent, a coating and a membrane, wherein the
coating and membrane are bonded to one another at a
plurality of bonding regions such that they define a
unitary structure, thereby permanently adhering the
coating and membrane to one another. A second embodiment
of the stent-graft assembly comprises a stent, a coating

extend into the pores of the porous membrane to sealingly
engage the membrane, again to achieve secure adhesion. In
either embodiment, the stent-graft assembly may comprise
an elastomeric coating substantially encapsulating the
entire stent, and a membrane covering only the medial
portion of the assembly. The diameter of the proximal and
distal regions may thereby be variable over a wider range
than the medial portion, enhancing conformity of the
effective diameter of the assembly with the diameter of
the body lumen and ensuring that the device will securely
seat and seal within the body lumen. The proximal and
distal regions of the stent-graft assembly may comprise an

thereby minimizing thrombogenic potential of free ends of
the assembly. In any of the foregoing embodiments, the
membrane may be a thin-walled tube, and the method of
